Posted on by

Hi there, and welcome to the weekly giveaway! This may be the week you win!

These “Lime Cooler” Earrings feature gorgeous Vintage Lucite flat teardrop-shaped beads that have pearlized swirls on their surface – much like mother of pearl. To complement the vintage lucite, I’ve added adorable Czech flower beads, Swarovski peridot crystals and Czech glass rondelles in lime green. The earrings measure a very showy 2-1/4 inches long, including the graceful 14k gold plated earwires.

Giveaway – “Lime Cooler” Earrings — 102 Comments

  1. My birthstone is OPAL and I LOVE!!! it. Would not change it. However, my other birthstone is pink something or other and I would change it in a heartbeat to Aquamarine, or Blue Ziron … BUT…only if I don’t have to change my Birthday month. Not that I like October so much, or the Scales Zodiac Sign. However, I do like personality traits attributed to Libra and they fit my personality pretty closely. I like being “balanced” and looking at both sides to a situation before making a decision. It is one of the things that my oldest grandson admires about me and is a lot of the reason we have such a close relationship.

    Crystal, I love these earrings, even if they are green.

  2. I just don’t have an answer for my best yard sale/thrift shop purchase. I have bought so many things at them, its hard to remember what might have been the best. But if I bought it, it was a good deal.

    I don’t shop them much anymore. I am trying to clear my house and donate everything I can to them!

  3. Hello! I adore folkart and I went to a shop and found a 4 foot tall handmade wooden doll for $5.00! She is standing on our porch to this day!
    Many thanks, Cindi

  4. I am a June baby and my birthstone is a pearl/Alexandrite. I would not change my birthstone! Real Alexandrite is very hard to come by. Very rare, just like me…..Thanks, Cindi

  5. Just last week I found a sewing machine at the flea market for a QUARTER, mind you it was rather old.. But it still works so a great deal in my eyes !!

  7. I got a solid oak bedroom set on Craigslist for $500. I wasn’t actually in the market for one but I needed a nightstand. One nightstand alone was $500 in the furniture store. It looks great!

  9. my birthstone is the pearl and I love it and would not want to change it, although i’ve always had my eye on the emerald (may i think?).

    Crystal says: Sure, Lo! 😉 I like more than one, also!

  10. Lately I’ve had good luck just around my neighbourhood at yard sales, seems to be moving season. I got a stylish bulletin board – I had needed one for a long time now.

  11. My best purchase was a pool table! I think the couple was splitting and the woman offered to let me buy his pool table for $20- it was gorgeous!!
    hahah

  12. I would definately change my birthstone- it is Emerald. ALthough I like Emerald- I would rather it be diamond!! 🙂

  13. I got a great deal at Ross. A beautiful skirt for only 2.49 because the zipper was broken. I didn’t care about that. I wear it anyway!!

  14. My birthstone is the Peridot which is very telling because I love the color green. So I wanna keep it!

  15. I’m pretty proud of the bargain I got on Sunday! 2-$25 Godiva gift cards for $19.99!! Plus I have a coupon for $5 off a $20 purchase. I can have fun with that! As I’m having chocolate cravings, it’s the best bargain I can think of!

  18. I haven’t done yardsales in ages, but I get the best deals at TJ maxx.

  19. I found a vintage childs peacoat at a garage sale that I sold on ebay for $120!

  21. Okay the best bargin I ever found was at a yard sale. So far anyway. Lol I found a whole box full of old vintage pins, signed necklaces and earrings and other random things like a silver fork for 5 bucks!
    I mean, come on when she said ‘I’ll take 5 for it’ I kept my face neutral and said ‘I think I can do 5’ Lol

  22. My birthstone can be argued as topaz or citrine. And I love it. Definitly wouldn’t change it =]

  23. Hmmm, best bargain? Mine is buying a second-hand piano with $550. It sounds perfectly good. I got such a fine price because the seller is my aunt.

  28. I have found a few name brand tops for my girls at the thrift store lately.

  29. I got a great deal at a local thrift store a couple months ago…a gorgeous copper colored knee-length party dress. So cute & funky. For $1.50!! (It was half off and fit like a glove :])

  31. We found a 1978 game that my husband had been looking for at a garage sale for .25, it goes for over $100 on ebay!

  32. Fun questions! The best thrift store deal I’ve found (so far) is a beautiful cream-colored velvet jacket from H&M. It was $4 and brand new– the pockets and vent were still sewn shut! I can wear it year-round and I love, love, love it. Those lime cooler earrings would look especially awesome with it! 🙂

  33. Best bargain from yard sale was a footstool that my husband has recovered twice and I’ve already got the 3rd fabric planned (he does this for me once a decade…and very professionally even though he is a novice!)

  34. Birthstone is topaz for November and I’ve never been a gold or yellow person so am very happy with the amazing blue topaz stones instead. They are spectacular!

  35. My birthstone is amethyst, I’m used it it now but I always wished it could be emerald or topaz.

  36. I have good experience with buing perfume much cheaper via e-shop than in stone store. if i compare e-shops from UK or USAm so these items are still (many times 40 percents cheaper than in any store in my country.

  37. my birthstones are tiger eye and agate… but I like ALL semi precious stones, so i would not have to wear any of them. I like very much brown, dark blue and coral colours…

  40. This may not seem like much, but I went to a Just Between Friends sale and happened to find a couple maternity blouses pinned together and selling for $3 for the two of them. Now it seems I’m already outgrowing some of my smaller maternity tops and these look like they will work till the end of my pregnancy!!

  42. My birthstone is tourmaline. I would love to have a diamond, emerald, ruby, or pearl!

  43. My birthstone is a Pearl or the Alexandrite – wouldn’t change them for anything. I love my month’s combo of pearls & roses!!

  44. My best deal ever had to be grocery shopping – my bill went from $263 to $52!! Or my latest purse started at $60 & my sister got it for me for $7 with her discounts & coupons.

  45. I bought a coat I had felt in love months ago during sales. I found it 50 % off… a huge bargain!!!!!!! I pay it and go home very happy. Two weeks later I found a t-shirt ticket and after thinking a long time I discovered it was the coat’s ticket!!!!!!!!!!!!They did a mistake and I paid 12$ for a 120 $ coat finally!!!! Since then I look at the tickets carefully… A time later I paid with Visa in a shop and they did a mistake and I paid 300 $ for a 30$ shirt… When I arrive home I saw the ticket and I became enough nervous (I’ve never bought in that shop before!!!!!). Affortunately they recognized the mistake and we solve the problem…ufffffffff (perhaps it was a punishment for my first experience!!!!!).

    Hugs!!

    These earrings are fresh like an ice-cream!!!!

  47. I was able to get a bunch of candles on clearance because they were priced at $2 and I had a bunch of $2 off coupons.

  48. My birthstone is the orange one (November) and I like it. I would prefer it to be a different one because I don’t wear orange too often, but I like it.

  50. Just recently I bought some mouthwash at CVS. With coupons, register rewards and a rebate I made $8.
