I've had this umbrella for what seems like forever. I actually bought one in the mid-1990's in a no-longer-there strip of factory outlet stores in Nashville, TN. That one had a little accident and had to be replaced. It was a pretty blush pink which they no longer carried. But they happily traded it out for this pretty bright pink. Totes stands behind their stuff. And they probably would've also been willing (if I found a Totes store) to replace their little emblem that disappeared off the top of my umbrella. It probably shouldn't, but it did bug me that the little thing was missing.
I found these little 1" discs, by Blank Image, at the craft store (and on clearance! SCORE!) along with monogram letters. Turns out that it was just the right size to replace my little missing emblem! (I'm sure this could also be done with a cutting machine - ie Cricut, Silhouette, etc but the letters would have to be sooooo small. But that's up to you, if you happen to have one.)

It's pretty simple really. Apply the letters as you want. Then carefully apply the E-6000 to the back of the disc and press it down on the center of the open umbrella. May want to do this outside when it's not raining. Just an idea. And then leave it for at least 24 hours without disturbing the drying time.
I am still trying to decide if I want to put a clear disc over the top of it or not. I believe I may have to for it to be out in the elements but that is debating itself in my head. If I do, I will update this post as to how I do it.
