Mitch told me to pick out a new patio set for my birthday. I found one I really love at such a good deal, (even cheaper in the stores) I splurged a little on the umbrella. It came yesterday and I couldn't be happier. The patio set looked a little out of place with my brightly painted porch furniture, but the colors in the umbrella help tie it all together.
I think we'll be dining alfresco this evening, under my umbrella ella ella eh eh eh.
*Listen to that song a time or two and you'll never be able to say umbrella the same way again.
Oh it's lovely! Can I come hang out on your patio?

I sooo agree... I can't say umbrella... without now having to sing "ella, ella, eh, eh, eh"!! Tooo funny!
Love your new set!
The happiest of birthdays!

Ohhhh!! Purdy patio set! We love eating outside, although we haven't done much of it this year with the kids at 1 & 3 and the hubbie away so often... maybe I should find an old quilt and throw it on the ground tonight for a picnic!
And you know.. black metal is sooooo easy to spray paint ;-P Happy birthday to you!

Cute umbrella!! I have been wanting a patio set to dress up my back yard. But we have been concentrating more on the inside than the outside the last few months!
