So I have just completed my second year of my degree at uni. So I now only have one more year to go.I handed in my final assignments today, and headed off to celebrate in the Salvos store at Red Hill with Mum. We were heading out of the store rather reluctantly, as we hadn't found anything we liked.... But then! I found the bucket of umbrellas... awesome umbrellas.
We bought three. Bring on the summer rain!
We then headed over to visit Vinnies and Endos in Paddington, and I made Mum pose with our new umbrellas by this fantastic bougainvillea bush.
They have the most lovely little cases! and fold up in very interesting ways...

I've always wanted a cool unique umbrella but never thought to check out op shops! Thanks for the great idea.
It's sweet that your mum posed for your :) sounds like you have a nice relationship.
Congratulations on another year of uni down. Hang in there! Not long to go :)
Lovely pictures!
these are lovely! I particularly like the one of your mum holding the umbrella in front of the flowers :) wonderful focus and colour! Congrats on finishing year 2! My undergraduate degree was FOUR years and then I signed up for another five at the end, so I can definitely appreciate the freedom you must be enjoying now ;)
These are so cute! I pretty much have bought a range of things at op shops but never an umbrella! I think it's because every umbrella I own ends up inside out, bent & broken. But these are lovely and you have inspired me to look out for a nice (not boring black) one and try to take care of it!
congratss! Good luck in your last year (: Beautiful pictures, especially those you made of your mother! x
These pictures with you Mum are so very lovely!! I agree with Nicole about the image of her hands near the flowers.
Hope you have a very relaxing break, and time to pursue your passions.
Rich
