Buffalo’s mild winter is over (we think) and umbrella season is back. If you grabbed your old brolly this morning only to find that it has seen better days, get yourself a bright new umbrella at Elmwood Village Fabrics.
EVF carries an array of Marimekko umbrellas ($35 and up) in fabulous colors and patterns. The two pictured here feature an easy automatic open/close button and sturdy handles made of stained hardwood. They offer full protection from the rain and compactly close up to just about a foot long.
Also, when you are transitioning into your spring wardrobe, if you discover items with missing or outdated buttons, stop by EVF for assistance. Today, I brought in a blazer that needed some fresh buttons. With EVF owner Sandy’s keen eye, we picked out a set of buttons that transformed a second-hand shop bargain into a stylish addition to my wardrobe.
