The Mr Mycroft Holmeses are at home.

I saw these umbrellas when I bought my new lamp and I immediately thought, 'Oh look, it's Mycroft Umbrella and Mrs Mycroft Umbrella.'. So of course I had to buy them, and today I brought home their new home within my home. Meet the Holmeses.







I think they're quite lovely. :-)

It so is. I hadn't realized that umbrellas were things which used to be pretty rather than gaudy in addition to being useful. I need to track down the umbrella I've craved for years now that the internet makes all things possible - it is a black umbrella which has blue sky and fluffy white clouds on the underside. :-) I think I would actually be cheerful walking under such an umbrella.

Me too- let me know if you find it!

Ah - OK - I admit to going rather nuts after that and buying the sky umbrella as well as the color wheel - here is the link to all the MoMa umbrellas for sale http://www.momastore.org/museum/moma/CategoryDisplay_10451_10001_26690_11539_-1_Y_Umbrellas and I think they at least have the sky umbrella available more cheaply and conveniently as a collapsible version. It also may be more widely available via a google search for shopping results of 'black umbrella blue sky clouds inside'.

Yay, thank you!
