On the southern California coast, it's been a reluctant summer. Mornings dawn gray and cool, and colorless skies linger until afternoon. The hallmarks of summer have yet to occur - though I'm longing for beach trips, bike rides, and picnics. And while the sun has only just started to break through this week, I know before long we'll have the kind of weather that can only be abated by tall, cool drinks in the shade.
I recently made these cocktail umbrellas for Papermash and photographed them in a picnic style setting. They come together simply with mini doilies, wooden skewers and a few other supplies - a softer more delicate twist on the ubiquitous tropical version. You can find all the details on the free project sheet available for download at Papermash.

I stumbled upon your blog and absolutely love it. I have recently found a love for all things timeless and pretty. I've also gotten back into getting crafty around the house so I am always looking for new ideas to add a little something extra. Just Love!
these are so adorable!
Do you know about the site pinterest.com? Basically, if you see a picture you like on a website, you can "pin" it to one of your boards, and then other people can repin it if they like it. The first picture in this post is all over that website!!

Well it seems that I am well behind the curve but I love this project! The link to the tutorial is gone, does it exist anywhere else these days? Also, can you tell me where you found doilies in such a lovely color?
Hi Catherine,
