What do you do with those umbrellas?
There is always something that I come across every day, that makes me laugh. And seeing cocktail umbrellas strung up along a pergola certainly tickled my funny bone.
I mean, talk about recycling! And how many cocktails did the owners have to have to get to create this remarkable string of fun?
As I continued my walk, more questions came to mind about these cute brollies.
- Did they keep replacing them as the paper got ruined in the sun/rain?
- How were they strung?
- Maybe I could do the same? – oh wait, I don’t drink cocktails!
- Where do you get them from?

Good thing I’d taken a photo of these little cuties because as I was telling my friend, I was able to pull up the pic and show her.
Imagine the enormous deflation I felt when she told me that they were little lights and one could buy them easily. However, search as I did, I only found one place that sold them, and that was on a party site, in the USA, under ‘Tropical & Luau’.
Guess I’ll just have to start having cocktails and save the wee parasols for stringing. Of course, I’ll have to make sure there is an excellent story to tell with each one!
