They Had Me At Hello!

Meet Mavis and Percy. I happened upon these two little devils while out on a leisurely drive. I just couldn't pass them up. Some people pick up stray puppies and kittens...I pick up stray furniture. Not nearly as cuddly as a furry critter, but it has a special place in my heart. They both have tons of character and would be perfect for a cake table or any other display.  I'm imagining a beautiful, elegant cake, atop a chippy well-loved table. I love the combintation of rustic elegance!

Meet Florence

This lovely lady hails from South Minneapolis, and she's an absolute beauty. You should definitely consider renting her for your next event.

The Tale of Two Tables

What's shakin? We schlepped ourselves to the great state of Iowa this weekend to do some serious buying. Sadly, it wasn't as fruitful as we hoped. Boooooo! Have you ever noticed that when you are seriously looking for something you never find it, but when you have no intention of looking, it appears. I'm pretty sure it's an immutable law of the universe...or at least my universe.  

We did come away with a couple nice finds.  Meet Vladimir and Marilyn.  Vladimir is a rustic, dark harvest table with some serious character.  He extends to 84", and has some serious space for delicious desserts, gifts, or escort cards.  Marilyn is a sexy little number that harkens us back to old Hollywood.  She's got elegant curves and can seamlessly blend in in a rustic or elegant setting.

Websites I Love

I'm always on the prowl for cool websites.  I have a bit of an obsession reading blogs, and I definitely know way too much about people that I've never met.  Anyway, one of my favorite websites is designsponge.com. It has a little bit of everything...design, travel, interiors, artist inspiration, and more! They also update it about 5-6 times a day so there's always something new.  Check it out!

What's in a Name?

Hello lovelies! I've been busy working away this evening.  Doing what? You may ask.  Well, I've been naming the Lime Canary furniture.  I know it's a bit strange, but I fully believe each vintage piece has its own special identity...and with an identity comes a name.  So without further ado, let me introduce Gertrude.  She's the newest addition to the Lime Canary family.  She's a stunner!

Hopping out of the Nest

Alrighty, the Lime Canary blog is back! We're officially out of the nest and launching today.  I'm headed to the Northwoods of Wisconsin for a nice long weekend.  Hopefully I can hunt down some vintage treasures along the way. I've got my eyes open for some beautiful sofas and chairs.  I found this lovely little item in one of my recent buying trips.  It has such beautiful lines and the fabric is a rich, red damask.  I'm in love!  Stay tuned for more to come!  Have a wonderful long weekend!   Amanda
