Lime Door - Winter Release

Hi there! I'm here with a little Lime Door update.

I've been brainstorming and crafting away this past month or so, coming up with some new great products to sell through Lime Door. All of these keep moving my vision forward toward my ultimate goal for Lime Door! It's very exciting to see all the pieces come together!

Scarves ($10 - $12)
This is another item born out of necessity, or was it vanity? I never can remember! One day I needed a scarf and I couldn't find one to match my outfit. So I went through my closet, pulled out an old t-shirt, and went to work cutting it apart, picking matching fabric from my stash, and sewing it all together. A little lace and ribbon to add the final flair, and a new Lime Door item was born!

I have a couple ready to go, but can always take custom orders. Choose your colours and accessories (lace, ribbon, buttons) and I'll make a custom scarf just for you!

Patchwork Shopping Bags ($20)
For those of you who can keep up with my blog, you may recognize these from all my Christmas-wrapping posts. They were such a Christmas hit, that I am now adding them to the Lime Door family!

No two bags are the same! I use new and thrifted fabrics from my stash and jazz them up with some buttons, lace and embroidery.

For custom orders, please choose from the following colour schemes:
1. Earth (pictured) - brown, green, orange, yellow
2. Sea and Sky - blue, turquoise, green
3. Fire - red, pink, yellow, bright

Lime Door Kits ($4 - $7)
I absolutely love little kits of curated product, chosen to represent a feeling, or emotion, or moment. It's fun to create with something that was lovingly handpicked by another creative soul. Lime Door Kits was where I originally wanted to go with my "brand" but was never sure how I wanted to proceed. Now that I have worked things out, I am proud to offer these kits to you!

Each one represents a character from my imagination, and comes with step-by-step instructions to complete a project! Or you can just play with it in your own way, and leave the project for something else entirely.

I currently have FIVE kits ready and raring to go, with three "versions" of each kit in stock. These are full of unique items, many of them thrifted and all of them are repossessed from my stash!

*****

Photos, material lists and lots more info on all of these items is will be available on the Lime Door page. I'll have all the new items listed by tomorrow. And I'm updating the older listings, and adding an Archive page for sold out items that offer great ideas for custom orders! As always, if you want something custom made, please email me directly and we can work out the details, including how I'm going to get it to you!!

Keep your eyes and hears to the ground for more exciting leaps and bounds from Lime Door this year...can't you just feel the potential that 2011 holds? I have so many plans and ideas and dreams for this little venture, and I can't wait to make it all a reality! Unfortunately, there are only so many hours in a day, eh!?
