I recently visited Toronto's Chinatown to pick up some decor for my daughter's upcoming party. I was thinking how much fun it is to scour the markets here for cheap and cheerful party decor and favors! Don't you just love these parasols?
A few years ago we had a Japanese inspired tea party for Ms. I's birthday and I used parasols like these as party favors. I'll have to share some photos. Although, they are from my pre-digital camera days so I'll have to scan some if you can believe it!
