Gallery Ten. Lime Green and Purple. This is such a fantastic colour combination…I absolutely love it.
My first thought was my vintage ice cream dishes, I just love them. They sit on my kitchen windowsill where I can see them in the sunlight and because I am using them every day at the moment. I bought an ice cream maker and we seem to have a glut of strawberries…no further explanation needed?
Then I thought of flowers, I had a look in the garden and found these
The purple alliums with their lime green seed heads
A pretty purple/blue geranium which I put with alchemilla mollis
The texture is by Nancy Claeys
The mosiac lamp I bought for Scavenger Hunt
Then for the bunting.
While there were a couple of strips of the vintage fabric I used for the last two weeks that would have been fine (and I might still make a couple of triangles), in another fabric hiding place storage box I found some scraps of one of my son’s old t shirts that I rescued from the bin. I was thrilled! Purple with a lime green logo on which I have no idea who or what it is/was.
In it’s new life it is bunting…
Meet Daisy Mop who helps to keep my computer screen clean. She just happens to be purple & lime green…
And my ICAD (Index card a day with Daisy Yellow) for today …purple and lime green fabric with purple and lime green stitching.
And then I had a play with the two colours.
A very productive day.
A very purple and green day.
I hope your day is happy whatever colour it turns out to be.
Very productive indeed! I wasn’t sure I liked this colour combination when I saw it on the Summer of Colour site, but after seeing your post … well, maybe I do like it after all! (Which is one of the great things about the SoC challenge.) All your choices are great, but I think my favourite is Daisy Mop!
I think the pressed glass icecream dishes have my heart in this post!
LOVE those ice cream dishes!! I have always had a weakness for colored glass and my girls and I have quite the collection between us.
Your post has given me a new appreciation for this color combination!!
yes I smiled – the colours just call for circles and squares. and I love your ice cream bowls
Wow! You rocked this color combination! I’ve been fighting it but finally have an idea. Off to create soon. I love your ice cream dishes in particular.

Didn’t know how to comment on your slideshow so glad I found your blog. Loved the mosaic candle holder. Thanks for visiting me. BJ
OH MY GOSH. Your ice cream dishes. I am in love.
As for the other images fantastic. I love what you did with the bunting and index cards, you have been so creative this week. I should have stopped off here earlier since I got so stuck with these colours.
Such a beautiful array of projects here! I am in awe of them all! A lovely way to represent this week’s colors!
I have a thing for glass and those dishes are beautiful! Love all of your projects…your icads turned out great!
