[@RAINBOJO1]

These umbrellas were beautiful! 😮😮😮

[@carolvillanueva3728]

Granny Pat..**I LOVE LOVE*** your umbrellas. I didn't realize others collect them as I do. You have the most beautiful ones I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing.

[@sunnymoon369]

Beautiful umbrellas! I have one vintage umbrella and I would like more. They don’t make them like those anymore. I love watching your videos, you remind me of my Grandma who passed away in 2007 at 87 years old.

[@Thomas-kl5mo]

Dearest Granny Pat, Continue to do your very best each day, it is so lovley for me to see someone as Lovley as you are in all of your posts, it is like having My Beloved Angels from about us in Heaven. Hearts and Hugs Thomas

[@marydemotte2298]

You have a very nice eye to find such beautiful items at estate and garage sales. Your umbrellas are lovely and your umbrella stand breathtaking.

[@gracierupenski6207]

Hi Granny Pat. It’s Gracie from Corpus Christi, TX (Deep South TX). I love all your videos. They are so homey, friendly, funny and as a matter of fact. I sit and watch talk and you take back with you into the good old days when life was simple. They really give me peace and joy to where I am giggling. Please continue to be yourself. You are a lovely, classy young lady.

[@crystalsypolt6321]

Fantastic video. I have loved umbrellas my whole life. I have never thought about collecting vintage ones. I never gave a thought to anyone else out there loving umbrellas. I would truly love to see your daughter's collection. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful collection.

[@rosehunt9640]

Granny Pat, I really love your umbrella collection. I'd love to see your daughter's collection too.Thanks for sharing your video.

[@sunkissed4261]

Granny Pat, Your like Mary Poppins! Always pulling goodies out of your bag! I love vintage umbrellas too or parasols. As a little girl I would twirl a parasol and do a little dance sometimes wearing tap shoes. I used to keep myself entertained for hours. ☂️ You have such treasures. Ty for sharing

[@lucyclarke3523]

Each and everyine is fabulous. They must display beautifully! I am fond of the bakelite. Yes, a truly enjoyable Showing. Thank you💙

[@gardeneroflight]

Thank you so much for sharing! Your collection is wonderful! My paternal grandmother (born in the 1890s) told me how they would use umbrellas for self defense.... make sure the shaft was made of good steel, get one of the menfolk in your family to grind it to a nice solid, sharp point. If you were accosted then you jabbed the tip into the top of their foot! A well sharpened tip will go right through a leather shoe. If you were a strong gal then it could go all the way through the foot and into the shoe sole. I tell you, those Edwardian era women did not mess around! Thank you again Granny! Stay safe.

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

Love your story!

[@joanshute3384]

Oh Granny Pat I love you umbrella collection. It is sych a Beautiful collection. I also have a collection of umbrellas. But yours is a lot more fancy. Thank you for sharing your treasures with us. So until next time God Bless you and have a Blessed day and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. ❤❤❤

[@ruthlattie5111]

Hi Granny Pat....I love your stories. I listen to you when I am in the kitchen doing my chores and it makes the time enjoyable. Watching from nova scotia 🇨🇦

[@terrythomas7035]

Beautiful umbrella stand

[@terrythomas7035]

I love your collections

[@InFltSvc]

You are an amazing lady! I admire people that have lived life because they always have important lessons and interesting stories to tell us not to mention all that can be learned from all the experiences they have had in life. I was born in the early 60’s and I always say I want to go back and live in those years because we live in terrible times and it’s true that times were much better back then. Keep the videos and stories coming as they are greatly appreciated..cheers! Brian . PS those are some beautiful umbrellas you have in your collection…

[@brunettaward8552]

The green umbrella is beautiful!!! Enjoyed watching.

[@gatekiller]

Dear Pat, I never imagined I could be jealous of a bunch of umbrellas, but now I am! 😯😄 I loved this video and am now determined to find a few umbrellas in my thrifting travels. Thank you!

[@Mudjie50]

Gran Pat, you are a treasure! I too love umbrella's & also walking sticks. Getting older I have found a use for the walking sitcks! lol Love that umbrella stand, I would love to find one like that. I too would like to thank your daughter for introducing you to You Tube

[@sarahgallegos8652]

Your so right, we must keep our neighbors in prayer. Bless your heart granny Pat.

[@arabspring5218]

I really enjoy these show n tell videos, Granny Pat. Thank you, this was so interesting and very informative. What a beautiful collection!

[@tabithamaris324]

I so enjoyed your beautiful vintage umbrellas! I wish I could share 2 special ones of mine, plaids with Bakelite handles and tips which are so lovely. I also love umbrella stands. I have one Shaped like an umbrella & is open on the sides. It’s my favorite because you can see the umbrellas from across the room. Granny Pat you are a joy & I love listening to your stories. Thank you so very much for sharing your time with us! 💝🌸☂️

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

Most of what I have was collected several years ago. I still collect small things. What I need is a rich uncle to leave me a beautiful victorian house to enjoy and ‘show and tell’. You don’t get too old to collect and share. Umbrellas’ is a great item to collect. Wouldn’t a “Judy Garland Parade” of ladies umbrellas be beautiful?

[@ceceliaclifford621]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful umbrellas with us. Really enjoyed this video!

[@anniebodyhome1000]

Ok now would love to see Jan’s collection too! This was fascinating! Now I thought I’d tell you how I cleaned my old bell shaped lampshade, although the fabric isn’t as old as your umbrellas. I had hunted for the right shape shade for years for my grandma’s lamp. I really needed to clean that shade after letting people smoke around it twenty years ago. This KZbin vid pointed me in the right direction. It’s called “How to clean a fabric lampshade” by “C.” I had to adapt his 5 gal bucket to a medium sized trash can so the whole thing would be submerged at once. My grandchild did it for me, as I was too sick to do it. It looks brand new! Now like I said, the fabric of my shade isn’t as old as the fabric of your umbrellas, but you’re so clever, I know you can adapt his ideas perhaps with a milder cleaner than oxyclean. (Maybe oxy IS mild, I don’t know.) I have a handheld shower attachment which made filling the trash can in the tub easy. And then just tip it over to empty.

[@melvaallen2774]

You have the most beautiful umbrellas I’ve ever seen

[@helengardner2714]

Beautiful Collection.

[@nancyhaugh7103]

Love all your umbrella. Makes you want to have rainy days just so you can use them. So many choices.

[@carolnelson9962]

I love all of your umbrellas 🌂.

[@barbaramatthews7900]

Oh my gosh I absolutely love that umbrella stand

[@jamup870]

This was so much fun and the umbrellas were so beautiful and colorful! I love the green one with all of those spokes, the glass knob and the wrist string! The orange one reminds me of umbrellas I've seen in classical oil paintings. Thank you for taking the time to share your treasures and educate us! They don't make umbrellas like they used to!

[@loramuer9314]

Use those umbrellas and if you lose one somebody else will get the chance to enjoy it.That seems to me better than sitting and collecting dust!

[@rebeccahelmar1607]

Love the old ones

[@CoCo-bb6ou]

Pat I'm supposed to be working but I've been watching your videos the past 2 hours 😄 I enjoyed this so much. I never gave much thought to umbrellas but this was so neat. Love the bakelite handles and all the different styles. So pretty. That's the fanciest umbrella stand I've ever seen! Things were made so much better in the past too.

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

The lady was selling her mother’s things in a yard sale. I spotted the umbrella stand in her living room. I asked if it was for sale. She said, “I guess I could sell it.” I got the stand for $5. It is one of my treasures!

[@melishamason7241]

Your umbrella collection is beautiful.

[@vickithornley5056]

I love listening to you and your stories. Such a pleasure to spend time with you! You have a very calming voice and I enjoyed every minute of this video, Granny Pat. Your ☔ umbrella's are lovely. I have an umbrella stand that I use, but, I put walking sticks in it. I never ever thought about collecting umbrellas, but, after seeing all your colorful collection, I just might be on the lookout for them! You are precious and so much fun. My Aunt Mildred always told stories to us, and I always loved listening to her! Love you. 🌻☔💖

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

If you can find them, old umbrellas are a delight to collect (and they don’t take up much space). You already have the umbrella stand!

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

Somehow I overlooked your comment. Sorry I’m late with my reply.

[@orreng]

Pat! You are the bomb! Thank you so much for the excellent content. And for sharing your knowledge, stories and for being a wonderful role model. Cheers from south of Houston!

[@kathleenstanley6751]

I started to watch your second video and came to this one first. I'm LOVING your umbrellas!! You just said Jane Seymour in Somewhere In Time and my jaw dropped! My favorite movie of all time~!! Saw it on cable in the very early '80's with my mom and we couldn't stop baawling!!! For fifteen minutes or so we stood in our kitchen when it was over going through kleenexes like crazy. We'd stop crying, look at each other and start again!!! Oh, tell me it's one of your favorites!

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

Definitely. I think I pointed the movie out as one of my favorites. Be sure and watch “Don’t forget your Umbrella.” The second Umbrella collection.

[@pennyconnell69]

I love all your collection of umbrellas !! Thank you so much for sharing !! ❤

[@christinesoria6158]

I recently found your channel & Love it. I love all your collections that you have. Thanks for sharing.

[@vintagemodernhomemaker]

You have a gorgeous collection. Vintage umbrellas are so much more elegant than today’s options. While I love all the umbrellas you shared, I think the second one (green) is my favorite 💚

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

And I thought the green would be the least liked. We never know!!!

[@tinaschaeufle995]

I have a huge collection of vintage umbrellas 😁 greetings from Germany

[@sunkissed4261]

Just a thought to clean your umbrellas. What about using baby detergent or woollight? Place the umbrella in the bathtub. Scrub w/a soft cloth, rinse w/the shower. Hang dry using the shower rod or door inside of the shower. That way you wouldn't have a wet floor.

[@adeleflint4700]

Your brollies are just too beautiful. I really loved the ones that looks like circus tents. It's just WOW!

[@richardstratton575]

Granny Pat, umbrellas are unique aren’t they! Interesting presentation Pat. Your videos brighten my day also💕carson ⛱

[@ladyw605]

Oh WOW!!! What a wonderful collection!!! Several of your beautiful umbrellas remind me of ones that my granny and her sisters had…they never went anywhere without an umbrella. I can tell you that “Somewhere in Time” is one of my favorite movies of all time!!!!! I absolutely LOVED seeing your gorgeous umbrella collection, as well as listening to your glowing description of each one!!!

[@lingdynasty4606]

Oh my, they are spectacular. Love the green and black one best!

[@angelasteffey3214]

I enjoyed it, too! ❤

[@roses_and_lace]

Such a beautiful umbrella collection- and I absolutely love the umbrella stand. Thank you for sharing this, Granny Pat

[@daphnedews]

Wow! What fun! The very first umbrella you shared was my absolute favorite, with that amazing handle! Here's a tip to see if something is bakelite or not: hold it in a little rag and rub, get some real friction going, then smell the item. If it smells like formaldehyde (remember old science class?) then it is 100% bakelite!

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

Thanks for reminding me about recognizing bakelite. I should have taken the time to do the test. I have had several bakelit items through the years. My favorite was a ball point lead pencil.

[@daphnedews]

@@chitchatwithgrannypat7900 my most prized bakelite is my beautiful complete mahjong set from the 1930s. The tiles are all bakelite and the point sticks are ivory.

[@bluffcitybounty2122]

All of your umbrellas are so pretty and interesting. Love the holder you showed at the end. Also, I’ve never heard of a 400mi yard sale! I’m going to Google that right up this minute. Thanks for sharing!

[@billypalmer9352]

I love watching you Granny Pat!!! You're such a delight!! I always look forward to listening to your stories and seeing your all of your beautiful things.!!!♥️

[@kaybrannon5457]

I love that you spoke of the 127 yard sale. It is something else!!! Prayers for Eastern Ky!!

[@Canamoutty]

Your videos brighten up my day. Have a super wonderful day! :)

[@MariaLovesThis]

Enjoyed this very much. I was very pleased to see all the umbrellas, and then the surprise piece at the end was my absolute favorite. I’ve always wanted an umbrella stand… and the story about how you acquired yours was so sweet.

[@corinthiaussery4080]

Loved this! They don’t make things like they used to. Vintage things are so much prettier to me. Funny enough, my favorite was the red plaid. It reminded me of my childhood somehow. I think I may have had a lunch box that would’ve matched it. 😄 Thank you for sharing. I’m looking forward to your china show and tell. I love pretty dishes and collect transfer-ware.

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

There will be more china. I try to vary my ‘show and tell’ so you see bits and pieces of my collecting. I had to cut back due to space (and I am getting old).

[@misskatzlife5892]

ANOTHER GREAT COLLECTION . THANKS GRANNY PAT🤎

As always enjoyed your video so much!♥️ Tammy

[@CorkysTeaTime2022]

I love umbrellas and I too have quit a collection...

[@MariaLovesThis]

P.s. The sound quality was perfect on this one.

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

My presentation definitely isn’t perfect. I try to show and tell as if you were across the room from me. Appreciate all of you overlooking my mistakes. And mind you, I AM forgetful!

[@madelinehenry6913]

I'm so very glad you are safe from the flooding, Grannie Pat. Love your umbrella collection. I enjoyed this video so much.

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

Thank you! I am not near the flooding but I know the area well. People are being so generous. That’s one thing you can say about Kentucky. They join hands in a time of need.

[@janicehunter8606]

Pat, I love your collection of umbrellas, so many colors and styles. Did you get those at a bargain?

[@veronicadoesitall6327]

Thank you for sharing! I absolutely love your umbrellas! The colors and details. I have a few myself and plan on buying more of better quality.

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

The beautiful vintage umbrellas are getting scarce. Grab them while you can. And remember they will deteriorate with time.

[@veronicadoesitall6327]

@@chitchatwithgrannypat7900 Sadly, I see that they are. Just wish things were made with better quality. Todays quality can not compare to the quality of years ago.

[@sarahgallegos8652]

Hi, thank you for sharing those umbrellas. The one black & gray checkered did resemble a circus tent...your right on with that one. I really liked them all. Wouldn't that smaller black one be called a "parasol"...for the sun?

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

You are probably right but I think of a parasol as being light and lacy. Like Judy Garland in the movie “Easter Parade”. That movie just happened to pop in my mind!

[@gardenerjei]

I use a sticky lint roller to get dust off of my lamp shades. Perhaps it would work to get dust off of your umbrella's?

[@chitchatwithgrannypat7900]

I need to get them out once in awhile and open them. They are so pretty. Would love to use them.

[@Jean-ko4xv]

My dear brother Richard got a spanking for jumping out a tree, trying to fly with Grandmas unbrella, back in 1940s. God Bless. Jean

There was no pampering in those days. Kids had to be taught a lesson.

I also love umbrellas or parasols like we Latina s like call them thank you for sharing it has motivated me to search these out next time I’m in your next if the woods because I can’t find any down here in florida where I need the protection from the sun .. I need to visit Kentucky
