Umbrella Fix

I went to Recycle Town in search of a garden umbrella and umbrella stand.  I scored this umbrella (minus the stand) for $5.  Our property is great, but is has absolutely no shade.  Zilch.  Therefore, an umbrella was essential if I wanted to spend more time outside this Summer and Fall during our warmest/sunniest months.

My handy husband drilled holes and created a brace in this wine barrel we had and, voila, we now had an inexpensive umbrella and stand for our garden sitting area.

Reduce, Reuse & Recycle.  Done.
