Dreaming of Next Spring

I live right near D.C., but for the second year in a row I have not seen the Cherry Blossom Festival.  My schedule was packed this year, and sadly even when my girlfriends did go, they came back reporting that a blustery wind a few days before had blown off all the blossoms.  So I reassured them that we would go early and go often next spring.  Even better because G will be home! 

And because I'm a girl who loves accessories and cannot wait to walk around a lot next spring....but who is also fair skinned, I've been on the lookout for a lace parasol.  I finally saw one in a local antique store....but it wasn't an antique and she still wanted $120 for it!  She's essentially this really kooky insane woman, but really she needs to do more research for prices.

So I decided to search online and found Lace Parasols, a site specializing in lace parasols, gloves, fans, etc.  And they have a ton of options for under $50!  I'm currently trying to decide which pattern I love best, though I'm leaning towards The Inez. 

So, would you ever carry a lace parasol in the sun?  Or am I bit too eccentric for you?
