The echoes of another day and time

004

Happy weekend!  I’ve been out and about running errands since early this morning and it’s cold out so I’m glad to be back indoors for a little while.

Today I am showing a new gacha by Lucas Lameth that is out now at this round of Shiny Shabby.  The Valhallas Rest Gacha set is 10 pieces to collect in total and when I rezzed it out it gave me somewhat of a coastal feel so I thought to go all light with the rest of the decor for this scene.

I’m also featuring some more decor items from the Draftsman Event, the ottoman by Revival and sofa, clock and cabinet by Q-Essentials.  Other than the house the rest is made up of all the gacha pieces by (luc) boutique.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

Sugar and spice and all things nice

The other day I got a chance to visit the lovely and I mean quite lovely summer greenhouse addition that fellow blogger, but above that my good friend Cougar,  added to her sim Lost Horizon. I was captivated by all the beautiful colors in the plants and flowers chosen, the fountain, seating arrangements and the well thought out plan of how she arranged it all. It was all just amazing… if and when she opens it up for public viewing you must pay a visit.

Another friend who taught me a thing or two about decorating always said look at things from every angle to ensure you get an amazing view from wherever you may be standing. I was not disappointed and as you can see I was stopped in my tracks when I caught sight of these delicious desserts.  In my book another bonus for visiting.  Who can pass up sweets?  Plus she now she has me on the lookout for some of these desserts.

As for what I’m wearing is a new hairstyle by enVOGUE called Jacquelyn available at the main store.  The top and skirt are by Una and it’s her participation at this round of Tres Chic, which has a Paris theme going.  The shoes are also at this event and are by ChicChica.  This cute pose is another great one by K&S Poses, which can be found at the main store.

Have a great start to your weekend.

French Country Living

aphrodite-shops-014223

Heart Homes has put together a nice combination of kitchen and dining room set that is designed in the style of luxurious French Country.  It’s mesh with low prims and can choose a kitchen that is either PG and family or adult version. It has lots of scenes with rezzable props and quality animations.  It’s an interactive kitchen so you will be able to cook meals from its raw state to done in minutes. There are animations that include making pizza or preparing hot dogs together as a family and much more.

The kitchen, sink and stools are all color changeable with a click of certain parts mentioned in instructions.  I encourage you to go visit their showroom to take a look.

Apart from a few older decor items that I used and some hanging mesh plants, curtains as well as the house I used, everything is from Heart Homes.

Today I’m showing the Victorian Doll House by Pillows, which you caught a peek of the inside with my post yesterday.  It runs about 36 for land impact and it’s available in both a light and dark version and can be found at Draftsman.

The texturing of the house on the outside reminds me a little of my paternal grandmother’s home when I was growing up and we visited her home in Washington state.  It didn’t have a porch like this one, but did have some steps going from the front door. Her landscaping was always so pretty and there was always rose bushes of different colors, as she loved roses.  I didn’t use any here, but I added some violet poppies to give it a little color.

Hope you enjoy your Tuesday!!

The baby standoff

I’m back again before the hour strikes midnight and my head hits the pillows to show you all this cuteness.  The little one came out to play to show some of the new releases by Buglets and BoOgErS.  She’s wearing some pajamas from the Sweet Dreams Gacha from Buglets available now at the Playroom Event that ends at the end of the month. The bib also worn is by Buglets and this is available at Thimble, another child/kid event.

Some of the decor that I am featuring is also part of the Sweet Dreams Gacha, which are the pillow pile, snuggle pillow and the teddies.  The teepee is a new release at the mainstore for BoOgErS.  There are several colors and designs, so go check them out.

I’m also using the Victorian Doll House by Pillows, which is their participation at Draftsman.  I will be featuring this house tomorrow giving you the view from the outside.

I can’t go without mentioning the little baby, which is just so adorable and will probably be showing him again soon.

Have a great night or morning!

I feel like I’m a little late getting out of the gate this month with my blogging. It’s just been a very busy time all around.

Today I’m featuring the Draftsman Event that opened its doors a few days ago on the 20th of January and will remain until 17 February. This round is all about the Victorian Age, which refers to the period of when Queen Victoria reigned, from 1837-1901. If you want to know more about this period of architecture read here.

Culprit has released a Victorian Boathouse, that has a land impact of 87.  It’s a beautiful build with brick textures that would be a great addition if you have land on water.  I must confess that this picture was very easy to do as I just plunked it down on an already landscaped piece of land and then added some more woodland weeds in front and it was done.

I’ll be showing some more items from this event in the coming days.

Happy Sunday! While my mind is active my body is exhausted, but I managed to get a picture going last night to post today only because I had 95% of the scene complete.

Here are some helpful tips on how to use each piece in the Southern Shelties set.

━━━━━━━━━━━━ ★ RARES★ ━━━━━━━━━━━━

All rares in this set texture change both the pup between the four coat colors and have accessory texture options as well!

━ 1. Barn
This is a rezzed item with built in physics and doors that are scripted to open on click.

━ 2. Ranch Gate
This is a rezzed item with doors scripted to open on click.

━ 3. Companion Sheltie
This is a worn avatar companion that will animate as you walk, run or idle.
You can right click and ‘add’ it to your avatar. If you accidentally attach it to the wrong spot, you will need to attach it to your Avatar Center and move it back into a proper position.  You may need to adjust the height or position of your sheltie to suit your avatar.

Clicking the companion sheltie will give you options for coat texture, particles on/off for when it digs, animations on/off, and resizing.

━━━━━━━━━━ ◐ COMMONS ◑ ━━━━━━━━━━

━ Wandering Cows and Shelties (4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13)
These animals are meant to be rezzed to let run around!
Drop them out on the ground and click them to begin. You will get options for radius, wander and sound.
Sound turns your animals noises on or off (if they have them).
Radius sets the distance in which you pup can wander from the point where you turn it ‘on’.
Wander turns your animals ‘on’ and lets it run around!
Turning off wander on your animals should return it to its original starting position.

━ Rezzed Decor Pieces (8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
These are simple static mesh decor pieces.
Sleeping animals include texture change for coat/fur.

Happy weekend everyone.  It’s been a busy day for me and I’m really too tired for words — so I’m going to keep this short.  If you haven’t made it over to Tres Chic you’re missing out on some great stuff.  I’m wearing a casual sweater and jeans by Entice that are so comfy for the weekend or those last minute grocery runs when you have no food in the house.

I’m also wearing a new hairstyle by Iconic called Nicolette.  I was real fortunate to be selected as a blogger and look forward to showing you more great hairstyles in the near future. The hair is rigged mesh and materials enabled and comes in a variety of color tones. You can find it now at Hairology, which runs until January 30th. I’m also wearing some lipstick by Zibska, which is called Nerissa and available at this round of The Secret Affair.
