Outdoor wishlist

I hope you are enjoying your weekend! We have the prettiest sunshine. Perfect outdoor weather. We are the happy owners of a balkony, but we are in need of a sunshade, the direct sun gets too hot in the summer time. And some other beautiful items would be nice, too (if only my wallet was full enough). The walls of the house we are living in are painted yellow, so I gathered some products fitting the yellow walls. But I'm totally into blue, purple and mauve tones lately, so I made a collection with some blue and purple splashes, too. It's so much fun to make these.
Which collection do you prefer, or do you have other favorite colors?
