Umbrellas

I remember seeing umbrellas several years ago with paintings on them. Wouldn't this be a great idea for FAA members' art and photogrpahy?

No.

Umbrellas are sold to tourists when its raining or to people in Seattle.

I was in Italy for 10 days. The only time I saw an umbrella was during the 10 minutes of rain we had in Rome. Suddenly the streets were full of umbrella salesman. (I guess they dropped the selfie sticks and grabbed the umbrellas).

Ever give someone an umbrella as a gift? Ever see one on someone's Christmas list?

It is funny...I have noticed just recently a number of people...or I should say women...walking in the sun with umbrellas.

you can buy umbrella's in high class galleries. and yes, you can give them as gifts, useful gifts are the best of all.

I like pretty umbrellas. Maybe I'm in the minority.

Art Museums sell them. I have a gorgeous Renoir umbrella. Good idea.

There are a few ladies that use umbrellas at the little league ball games/sporting events around here. No covered bleachers, so the umbrellas shield them from the sun. If ever offered here don't fill-in a price and no need to worry about it, same as shower curtains, pillows, etc.

I see thousands of umbrella on the beaches and golf courses of California. A whole bunch of golfers still carry umbrellas, but they seldom use them.

I can see golfers buying umbrella's with famous golf courses, famous golfers and their own local clubs on them. But if we can only make $5-$10 on them. I don't care if we get them or not.

I want to see something with a minimum of $25-$100 profit potential if possible. Only thing I can think of that that may be possible on is tapestries.

I like the idea of puzzles, but seeing the mark up in totes and T's, they are probably going to fall in that low mark up range I am afraid, if we ever get them. And shipping is is killer on puzzles because they weigh a lot more than paper prints.

I don't need any umbrella I picked up at least six on the buses and subways on rainy days. I doubt men would carry a umbrella with image on it, especially businessmen.

Z or CP here we come. Next up luggage tags, playing cards and mints. Maybe drink koozies and frisbees.

I use an umbrella when I'm painting outdoors to keep the sun off my painting and my palette, however I won't be replacing my neutral gray umbrella with a fancy colored one that will reflect and interfere with my ability to judge the colors on my painting.
