My little Corner

Hello Lime Vintage readers! Well I finally got some flower planting done in the past week it seemed to take ages, luckily I had a few thrifting getaways to break up all the time with my hands in the dirt. I found this cute mini rose plant and decided to put it in the fairy pot I had found at our dump store (Which no longer exists *sigh* I always found such great stuff up there.)


On one of my planting thrift breaks I found this vintage solair chair, now I did not even have to think about this purchase I saw it and wanted it and that was it. I already had a cart and this chair was not going to fit inside obviously, so I just stacked it on top and pushed around the crazy contraption all over the store until I was done. There was no chance I was leaving it up at cash and no chance I would leave it in the place I found it until I was done shopping. Every time I do that someone just snaps up whatever I was eyeing seconds after I step passed it and then I get mad at myself. lol
So this is my little corner for now I am sure it will get lots of use.

Aprons tablecloth & curtains

I was meaning to do this post many moons
ago. Although having a garage sale, planting flower's and trying to get
things organized kept me forgetting to do so.

Well I am here now, making time at 1:15 a.m. seemed like the right thing to do. *lol*
The top picture is some of my aprons I really seem to have a thing for them and I (DO) wear them when I remember too.
I do have a few others but these are my favorite for the time being.




A few weeks ago I also obtained this crochet one at a thrift store for $1.50 it was too cute to pass up in my opinion, although I also think it may be to nice to get dirty also.
Now these in the picture below are some pretty FuNkY curtains I found there is two panels and they slide onto a rod. I showed them to my Mom she just looked at them and laughed. Apparently her and I have zero in common when it comes to curtains. I am gonna hold onto these until I have the perfect windows to let them reside in.





I love the bright colors and the crazy design, these remind me alot of the top bed covers they have on Hotel and Motel beds.




Now for the table cloth I like it because it has green on it anything that has green always earns points with me. The tablecloth is a oval one I paid $4.00 for it and at this current time I do not even have a table for it. *hah* Don't worry I am sure in time I will and then everything having to do table wise will be excellent and amazing.

Oh I LOVE Regina brooms!

So I went to a thrift that was having a spring cleaning sale. You were allowed to (Fill a bag with stuff "other than collectibles & jewelery" for 5 dollars.) There was two Regina's in the electrical appliances area. The one I did not purchase was a white bag with royal blue flower design. It was real cute but did have some stains on the bag and I later found out there was a piece missing and it was broken. Now this one that I got WORKS AWSOME! I love it. It was tagged at $8.00 and even though it could not fit into a bag the lady charged me $4.00. It was a bit dirty when purchased but after some soap and water it looks close to new! Now hopefully I do not become obsessed with these because.. I really don't know where I would store a bunch of electric brooms. *hahaah*

I also found this cute pair of sunglasses for .99 cents of course I could not pass them up and I will probably wear them religiously until I find another pair in one of my next thrifting adventures.

In my next blog I will post some pictures of vintage material, linens, aprons & some curtains I have found in recent weeks.

~*Vintage Plant Stands*~

Needing some advice on these plant stands. In my last blog I mentioned garage sales and how I got two plant stands one was for only 50 cents which was this one.

I plan to keep this one inside because it does not have much rust and I would like to keep it in the shape it is.
Now the second one I paid 2 dollars for it is the unpainted brass one (I adore it)
it has some rust going on and I do not know whether to leave it or give it a brand new paint job.

The one next to it in the picture was given to me by my Grandma, it was her Mother's. When I was given this it was brass and rusty, I then painted it a bright yellow and it sat that way for a few years. Then I changed it to the way it was painted in the pic and it has been blue and white for about 3 yrs. Now my question is these are going to be outside and I would like to give them a makeover. I would love to paint them in the same color so they match. What color do you think would look great on them? I just really can't decide, and I would appreciate any input.

Fancying wallets

Okay so I have no clue as to how my wallet fascination started but it has. I guess it started by the cute little vintage convertible buxton I found, which then led to me buying myself a 70's vintage green wallet. And now on Saturday I found this adorable shiny gold daisy pattern wallet.

(Which of course I bought) Now the good thing is I paid next to nothing for it. The thrift I was at was having a "fill a bag for 2 dollars sale" and the wallet was one of the things I had to stuff in there.



The other thing I couldn't leave behind was this adorable swan. (It's facial expression is just too cute, I have no clue where I will put it just yet but I will find a place!)Garage sales on the weekend turned out pretty good. I 3 little garden gnomes to add to my little cement mushroom patch in my backyard a big wood owl cutting board for FREE! *hahah* I also got two plant stands from the garage sales on the weekend, I will show you those in my next post.

Cute little suitcase

A few weeks ago I found this cute little white travelgard suitcase, it had scuffs here and there and a few spots of "Who knows what?!" Well I finally got around to cleaning it today and it cleaned up VERY WELL. Most of the black scuff's came off and all the other weird marks mostly vanished too. ($6.99/Thrift store)

The other things in the picture are some things I also found in the past two months.

1. Adorable vintage wallet. (I really love the little clasp on this vintage buxton convertible wallet. It also smells like lipstick *lol* which is another thing I find great about it.)(25 cents/thrift store)

2. Blue Marble bead necklace ($1.00/thrift store) (It matched my outfit that day.)

3. Navy blue and red umbrella patterned scarf by: St Michael (10 cents/thrift store)

4. ELG-ART Jeweled small travel clock (50 cents/yard sale)

5. Brown Chunky marbled plastic bracelet ($1.99/thrift store)

6. Big vintage sunglasses ($2.00/thrift store) I ended up really liking these and already wearing them ALOT.

7. Green crochet shamrock (Made by me this winter.)

8. Haband! Pink gingham strawberry day dress. As soon as I saw this I wanted it, I don't think it had ever been worn the buttons are all in perfect shape and the pattern is just too cute.($2.00/thrift store)

Thinking of going to some garage sales on Sat.. If I do I hope I find something amazing.

Almost better

Well my injured boxer is almost better! He got his stitches taken out on Friday, the swelling in his leg went down & his cone was allowed to be taken off Yesterday. "Thank Goodness" It was stressful for him and us all at the same time. He hated running into things with his plastic satellite dish around his head, and we hated worrying about what he was running into and making sure he would not hurt himself even more.
The ulcer that had started on his eye is now gone. He has a little bit of scarring from the scratch, but thankfully never lost his sight in that eye. He is very happy now that he is not wearing (Extra armour).

I can now leave the house again and go out thrifting and to garage sales without having to ask someone to keep an eye on Jersey. I swear for 3 weeks I barely left the house. *Woohoo Cabin fever is now over*
