I’m back…even though I never got an opportunity to mention that I would be gone for a few days and without internet.  My apologies for that as I just didn’t have the time to log in and do one more post.  Then somewhere between that time period and now I’ve misplaced the memory stick where I had saved those photos.

In any case I’m ready to once again show you some wonderful items from all over the grid.  It might be a little slow going at first as a knee injury has flared up and I’m limping at the moment.

Today I am featuring several items and I’ll start with what I am wearing.  It’s going to be a rather long post for one picture, so I will try and include more pictures next time.  The hair and hat is by No.Match and available at this newly opened round of On9, that started on September 9th.  No.Joke and it’s the name of the hair/hat combo and great for this fall weather that is upon us now.  The sweater top is by [Lakshmi] and also at On9.  It’s available in several colors and there is a skirt that is available as well to fit the top.

The Royalty Leggings I am wearing is a new release by Wazzer Works and will soon be available at the newest round of The Secret Affair that begins September 15th. This is the start of their Fall 2016 line, so hope to show you more of their creations soon.  The heels I am wearing is a new release by Empire and available at Collabor88.  The Hebe heels includes 15 colors in the color hud and they are mesh body compatible.

I’m holding a money duffel bag by (epia) available at their main store.  The name of the 100% mesh bag is “Make it Rain” and literally it can rain lindens. It’s HUD-controllable, and has the ability to throw money stacks that can pay real linden dollars to those who walk over or touch them.  The amount can be changed via the HUD.  It has 10 different texture/color options, and 4 bag versions that allows you to wear the bag on your hand, arm, chest or back.

The remaining items that I am featuring in today’s post is the egret, which is by TLC and it’s available at the Spoonful of Sugar festival that I mentioned in my last post benefits the Doctors without Borders/Medicins Sans Frontieres. Visit the website for more information.  The cherry trees in the background are the latest new release by Little Branch at On9, which are four seasons that can be accessed via the menu.  The pink and green bushes along the lit pathway are also by Little Branch and available at The Chapter Four event.

Lots more to come as I try to catch up again.

Happy Thursday! It’s been a few days since I last posted here, only because I had a few items that I wanted to get done on my other blog at Alexa’s Fantasy Wardrobe. Though I’m back to show you some new great home and garden stuff.  The first item that I am showcasing is this new skybox by the Hive available at this round of FaMESHed. It has a land impact of 15, approximate size is 16L x 13W x 8H, as you can see with the picture beneath it makes for a great outside view . I provided an inside view as well in the last pictures below, where it shows the wall of doors slightly open letting in the sun or air, which ever atmosphere you prefer.

It includes this little nook, which I have decorated with a few items – some from the arcade, old releases and the ones I’m featuring from Pastiche. They are the two chairs and table nearest to the window. The chairs come with a color texture hud giving you a few options to choose from. In this picture I went with some natural earthy colors.  These will be at the upcoming Spoonful of Sugar Festival that opens on September 9th at 12 am SLT and will end September 25th.

This festival is going to benefit the Doctors without Borders/Medicins Sans Frontieres. 100% of the proceeds of at least one item in each store will be directly donated to the charity plus a participation donation by each designer.  All monies will be going to the American office of Medicins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders), an international organization that provides emergency medical aid to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from health care regardless of politics, religion or other affiliations.

It’s going to be 5 sims with over 180 stores in fashion, home and garden and breedables.  Below credits I have put some more information on this event.

The last items that are being featured are the trees by Little Branch shown in the second picture.  As you can see they make for some wonderful landscaping.  The Juniper are the ones with the swirl on the side of the skybox and you can find these at the new round of The Liaison Collaborative that runs until September 30th.  The cedar trees come in two versions and these are available at FaMESHed, which ends on September 27th.  Both are seasonal trees, which means on touch you can choose the season you want and it changes in texture to that season.

Enjoy the rest of your Thursday!

White Plains Plantation

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, General, Home, Landscaping2 Comments

001-3ps

Featuring the newest home by DaD Designs called the White Plains Plantation.  As usual the creator gives you a complete breakdown on the house and I have provided it below the credits.  As she describes, this is the style of home often found in the southern part of the United States.

Snapshot_002

A lot of the old homes are referred to as Antebellum mansions and were the neoclassical architectural style of the 19th century in the southern part of this country.  Some of the details as seen in this home typical back then in this style of home were the pillars and columns, balconies, many windows, covered porch and grand staircase

Snapshot_003

It’s a huge home for sure, but what a grand home to decorate and live in.   Take a tour in the demo area of FaMESHed or at the main store to get the full experience of this home.

I might have mentioned in a previous post or two that I don’t watch a lot of television, especially in the last few years. Until now, the last time I tuned in to watch anything was the election debates.  Recently, my niece introduced me to a few shows on Netflix, which have been entertaining and since there’s no commercials I have been on a binge watching a few shows at a time.

I just finished watching the first season of the series, “The Ranch,” and while not overly fond of all the cursing in the movie it kept me entertained enough to keep seeing it until the last show.  The comedy follows the return of a struggling semi-pro football player, to his Colorado home to help run the family farm with his father and older brother.  All played by familiar known names in the acting profession.

015ps

My pictures were not inspired necessarily from watching the movie itself.  It was from the theme song, “Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,” originally performed by Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. I remember hearing this song when I was growing up, and it made me smile as I thought of that long ago memory.

In the first picture is another wiener dog by JIAN, the Ducky PJs wanderer, which is a common in the Wonky Weenies gacha at the Arcade.  The rest of the decor items also previously shown, are from the Hive’s American Countryside collection, and also available at this round of the Arcade.

The second picture was a just because and similar to an image that played with the theme song in the series.

Featuring a new release by [Schultz Bros.], which is this skybox that is available now at this new round of Cosmopolitan.  It’s copy/mod with only a 7 land impact and its approximately 15 x 11m.  Great if you are limited in prim and need something small. I’ve included a collage picture below of how it looks unfurnished.

The skybox is furnished with some new and old stuff.  The bed, ottomans, clock and mirror along with the nightstand are items by Bee Designs and it’s from their French Rose gacha.  It was from a previous event, but you should be able to find it at the store.  The stuffed sheep near the stairs are also by Bee Designs, and are from this round of Lost & Found, but it ends tonight, so they should be available at the store.  They are the cutest things and make great decor for anywhere in the house.

009ps

Here’s a close up of the dogs. The adult wanderer I’ve shown previously in a post and it’s the reward dog when you hit the JIAN machine at the Arcade 25 times.  The family bed is a common and its texture change for both the dogs and the bed. It’s also only 1 land impact.

Happy shopping!

I’m dragging a little today… so I’m way behind my own schedule.  Today I am featuring several things, starting with these adorable wiener dogs by JIAN.  It’s a second gacha set that will be available at the Arcade on September 1st. Showing only 2 dogs of the set, the naked and hot dog plus also showing the reward dog, which is the blue known as Habada the Pilot.   There are 12 commons and 4 rares, with a selection of wanderer dogs or companion ones. All the pets include the 4 coat texture choices, resize, sound and animation menus.  The reward dog includes both the companion and wanderer and you get the same features as the other dogs plus 7 plane color choices. Plus the dogs animates and barks as the plane hovers and propeller spins.

The scene is Sushi Monster food truck by Heart Homes, which is available at the new round of Creators Collection Box. The complete set comes with the tables, there are 46 animations total with 22 props and 2 sequences to make Sushi and Yakisoba.  The Japanese lanterns are add-ons and available at the event as well.

I’m wearing the newest hairstyle known as the Ashley, by enVOGUE, available at the main store.  The color I’m using is from the dark greys pack, but available in a variety of colors.  The top is from Bender, it was available at the just passed On9 event, but you should be able to find it at the main store now.  It also comes with a skirt, and in several colors.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Another peek into the Arcade.  Today I am showing the Glasswings Collection by {Reverie}.  These are wearable items made for Maitreya, Slink Physique and Hourglass.  There are 10 pieces to the collection and two color versions of this outfit. I’m wearing this monarch and somewhat vintage white with only the hand accessory not worn.  The other color version is blue.

I’m holding another color of the lively labs by JIAN, also available at the Arcade. The other two items being featured are also by JIAN and they are the floating candles in the metal bowl and the glass containers on the bench. Both are texture change on touch.  They were available for Fifty Linden Friday, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to blog them in time.  Though check the store as sometimes creators leave their items at that price until the weekend.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
