Liz has kindly shared one of her second line umbrellas for our November giveaway, just in time to celebrate our 9-0 Season thus far!! You can get your Who Dat on with this beautiful black and gold umbrella embellished with a fleur de lis--perfect for parades, holidays, BBQ's and of course, a second line!!
