As part of the whole 'summer rain' theme I've got going on here, I thought I'd mention the online umbrella boutique that is Umbrella Art. Umbrella Art is an English website that sells really pretty and unusual brollies. I'm so bored of looking around and seeing an ocean of black umbrellas held aloft by people dressed head to toe in black. Who says boring colours are the price we must pay for function? I truly believe functional objects can also be beautiful (think zakka). Anyway back to the brollies, Umbrella Art can supply you with a brolly printed in just about any image you care to mention, whether you're in to fine art, Elvis, chocolate, roses, butterflies, frogs, cars, or any combination! I think my favourite is the umbrella with the chocolates. Prices start at around € 24 for a mini umbrella and around € 30 for a large umbrella, surely a small price to pay to 'find sunshine for your rainy days'!
