Umbrella magic....




I'm joining Mary for
Please pop over and meet
some other lovely bloggers.
We would love you to join us!


On a recent visit to my
local garden centre
I discovered this inspiring
display of pretty umbrellas
hanging from the ceiling!


Such cheerful designs
for a dreary rainy day,
don't you agree!


I just couldn't resist including
in my mosaic
the sweet bunnies, books and
my embroidery I must work
on over Easter!

Thank you so much dear friends
for popping in to my blog
and leaving such lovely comments!

I'm working over the next two
weeks, but I hope to visit you all
before the Easter break.

À bientôt

be kind to one another

hugs

Shane

  4. Hi Shane,

    These photos are GORGEOUS!! I love your mosaic, especially the bunny and the flower petals. Those umbrellas are sooo pretty. I think that's a great idea for a spring garden center display, and I'd love to have one of those beauties for the umbrella stand in our foyer. :)

    Have a wonderful day!

  12. I like the bunny peeking over the blooms in your mosaic Shane. And, those are mind kind of umbrella! Plain ones are just that, I once saw a lady with butterflies all over hers - that's the one I'd like.
    Hope your couple of weeks at work go quickly for you.

  13. Beautiful umbrellas - but I have to admit I never think to use one. There's one stuck under the seat in the car that's moved from car to car as we get another one and I don't think it's ever been so much as opened. The bunny in the flowers picture is sooo cute, btw.

  15. Such a pretty array of umbrellas! I would love to have one, but don't know if I'm extrovert enough when it comes to using it. Nevertheless, they are lovely. Happy Easter whatever you are doing!

  17. Gorgeous umbrellas Shane, and wouldn't they brighten up a rainy day.
    Have a wonderful Easter.

  18. I would love one of those for a grey, rainy day - perhaps I'd actually go out and walk in the rain (like I do when I'm home in England!) but rarely do here as I'm totally spoiled with a car right outside the door!

    Don't work too hard dear --------we look forward to another post soon. Have a beautiful and blessed Easter.

    Take care and hope you can go to visit France again very soon. I can't even imagine not seeing your grandchildren for a year. One week is my maximum.
