We bought a patio set on July 4th so that we could actually sit at a table with my parents for the holiday (the moving van didn't show until the 6th), but it was missing an umbrella. And I mean it when I say "missing it" because we definitely dealt with glare and a little sunburn. So when I was in World Market today and saw rectangular umbrellas marked down from $169 to $42, I was all over them. Took a bit of a gamble with mixing patterns, but I think they can play nicely, if only because you don't really see them together (since the umbrella is so tall).
When I got it home J was still at work, and me being impatient, I struggled to set it up myself. Believe me when I say that this clip was the one that kept running through my head as I wrenched and twisted and shoved the thing into the base, threading the needle through the table. The fact that I got one with blue stripes is a total coincidence, by the way.
