Brolly’s making news and more…
Apologies for the play on words, as I’m sure that Miss Jane Austen would not have envisaged black ostrich feathers on a parasol for a well-respected lady. I, on the other hand, am immediately drawn to early 20th Century New Orleans, with it’s gris-gris dolls, potions, talismans, magic and mystery. Oh, and spells – – – the casting of spells!
NEW DARK BROWN WOOD-FRAMES FOR HISTORICAL REPRODUCTION PARASOLS
Just this past November, we took possession of some new frames, created just for Barrington Brolly. They will be a new addition to our historical parasol offerings. Similar to our blonde-wood frames, these are dark brown wood, with black metal ribs. And the ribs are 1” (15.5” long) shorter than those of the blonde-wood frames.
I’m looking forward to using these new frames for reproduction parasols, beginning Spring/Summer of 2018.
SNOWFLAKE BALL 2015
There is nothing more delightful, than having free-reign in the creation of either an umbrella, or parasol. And this is just what happened when I was asked if I would support The Snowflake Ball, a fund-raiser for The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), being held in Ottawa, Ontario (February 14, 2015). There isn’t a better cause, than supporting the work of those in the fight against childhood diseases.
For this event, all I was given was a list of preferred colours. The rest was up to me. And I didn’t hold back. It was such a pleasure, putting these parasols together, and knowing that the money, they helped raise, would be put to this most worthy cause.
