Betty,

I may be interested in the plaid 30's umbrella.

Is reattaching the tips something fairly straight forward? I am crafty and have sewn for a long time. Not scared to try things.

Is this a usable umbrella for rain or shine?

thanks!!

Inky - I've wrapped it up for careful storage. I'll take it out, unwrap it and answer your questions shortly.

Thanks for the interest!
