Akkerdaas writes: Mimitoria, I just looked at your webpage for your store. Wow, what a great looking place. Hey, hang them umberlla's!!! I tell you people will talk about them alway. They can be broken, holds, etc. But people love them. The best thing I have done lol Good luck and I would love and see more pictures of your shop. And how it is going. Posted: 12:30 pm on May 13th

A very fun idea!

Winchester is a great town! I'm missing the beautiful Blue Ridge Mtns but not enough to suffer through those hot and very humid summers out there!

MimiToria writes: Awesome idea. Our new shops biggest deficit is the forest green ceiling. We just didn't have time to repaint it and mess with it. We only had 2 weeks to clean the place out, patch plaster, repaint all of the walls, paint the carpet, and set up a huge place for opening day. No time to deal with a ceiling too. Wish we could of. Might have to start collecting umbrellas though. Cool idea.
Thanks for sharing.

Akkerdaas writes: Hey Patti, Winchester VA is right next to Middletown. I'm on the Old Town walking mall. Fabulous Finds 540-678-0181. And all umberla's are alway welcome. So thank you so much. A lot of mine are broke, have holds in them but we love them all. I think we are going to start and put tags on them where we got them. People have been very nice to let us hang them. If I get a lot more I think I'll have to do my front window all in umberlla's. As for the Crawl....I did that one year. But was not that good. Maybe I should try it again.
Oh one more thing. We had rain big time today. And guess what? I didn't have a umberlla lol Posted: 11:07 pm on May 6th

It's a gorgeous green number with ruffles and gems - you'll love it and I'll love seeing you place!

Where, exactly is it in Winchester? My dad used to live in Middletown, so we were up that way alot. It's nice to have someone on here that's on this side of the states!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful idea!

Akkerdaas writes: Thanks grannijo! Yes, I wanted to take them down at one time. But I can't. I have people talking about them all the time. They even want to buy them. But how can I let them go? Most of them are gifts. So I just keep them up. And still looking for more. Have my front room of my shop to do. lol Posted: 3:18 pm on May 6th
