When you are seven and all you want to do for your party is have pizza and friends over to watch Singin' in the Rain, umbrellas make for the perfect party favor. Paper cocktail umbrellas are also de rigeur.

Oh FUN!!!! When I grew up and realized that I could purchase a box of the paper umbrellas I almost passed out!!!!
All my life I had been eager for the moments when on outings I could order virgin pina coladas, just for the umbrella! And the cherries of course....
But, when I moved out on my own, 18, and went shopping I was like , "What, you can buy a whole box of umbrellas, do other people know this???" (I am easily amuzed)
So fun!!! I hope the kids had a blast and that your butler promptly cleaned up the mess so you could rest??? xoxoxoxo

This photo is just awesome, Sonya. Fabulous perspective, and so cool that you took it after the partying ended.

When I was little I used to go to this patisserie/bar thing every Sunday with my dad to pick up some cakes for after lunch. He'd have whatever dad had in the 70s and I would get a pear juice with a tiny colourful ombrella. How I love them. Especially the bright turquoise ones.
Good memories.
