The best journey takes you home

Tuscany 008

DaD Designs brings us their latest creation with the “Tuscany Country Cottage” a 100% original mesh home.  The creator states in her notes this cottage is a typical house of the Tuscan countryside.  I particularly like the large patio at the entrance with two double doors that lead into the house where you will find two large living rooms and a small room.

The first floor contains two large bedrooms.  There is a pergola covered with vines with the leaves blowing in the wind and a bunch of grapes, which is a nice feature.

Aphrodite 004

I’m also showing the golden Autumn outdoor set from Aphrodite Shops. Everything pictured besides plant and dog are included in this set.  It contains an abundance of animations and food and drink for an enjoyable experience.

Details provided below.

Aphrodite -unKindness 002

Well it looks like this month is pretty much over now and with it many events are coming to an end.  This also means soon there is an onslaught of new events about to embark and it being October… it also brings Halloween.

Aphrodite Shops has an abundance of items at their Halloween Market if you are into decorating for this occasion.  The animated ghoulish mirror and the scary stories book are just a couple of items you can find.

Then unKindness has a charmed parlor set available currently at Collabor88, that includes the candles, burner, fireplace, mirror and throne chairs.  The latter three items have six color options.  The hanging bats and single bat that can be worn as well is from Dysfunctional Designs.

As always details all found below.

Found the cookies!

Cookies 010

Doing a quick post this evening to show a few items for the toddleedoo.   The first are these dinosaur pajamas that BoOgErS made for the Gen-Neutral event, which ends tomorrow so you still have a little time to grab them at a great price. There are two options available for you to choose from.

Over the past weekend I made two batches of peanut butter cookies, which amounted to about four dozen.  So it made me chuckle as I was doing up this scene as I recalled the amount of cookies I had in the last days.  I’m glad they’re all gone now.   This cute “found the cookies” pose is by Buglets and is available at the main store.

There are a couple of items that I picked up today for kids Fifty Linden Friday like the peg board toy and the black sneakers, which are a part of a complete outfit.  You can find all the details below.

Peace starts at home

Jian 019

There really is something calming when I do country and landscape scenes as they just invoke a sense of serenity and this peacefulness.

I’m showing the Down on the Ranch Barn by Jian, which is currently available at We ❤ Role-Play.  The barn comes with several texture options for the color and you can get the menu simply by clicking anywhere except the doors.  If you click the doors they will open and close on click.

To complement the barn Jian also has a ranch decor set that includes the laundry bucket that comes in static and animated version, washboards and the windmill that is leaning up against the bar.   The Maybelle the Sheep come in two versions, the static and animated that moves and baaahs.  If you want to stop the animation just click on it.  They each have the option to change the texture of the coat.  You get six color choices.

I used a few items currently available at The Arcade, which are listed below.

My little pumpkin

003

It’s definitely starting to look like Fall in Second Life with all the orange, yellows and red colors you see around.  I’m featuring a few new items by unKindness to help you decorate for the season.

The County Pumpkin set, which can be found at the Tres Chic event includes the pumpkin seat, pumpkin accessories on the floor and the candle tray on the table. The seat comes with male and female sit animations.

Another item by unKindness is the spooky brigade decor that is leaning up against the wall made for the Autumn Effect Hunt.  You can hunt for it at the main store.

The other item that I am featuring today is the big baggy hoody outfit for the toddleedoo made by BoOgErS for the Kawaii Project.  The big baggy hoody outfit is available in two options.

The rest of the decor is listed below.

It happens

Epia 016

This is a bit of  the rebellious nature I find myself in shining through in this post as I share with you some more items to be found during this month’s round of events.

Both the fringe suede top and skirt by MoDANNA are mesh and found at two different ongoing events right now.   There are several colors for both items and you will also find other styling pieces as well so that you can tailor fit your style.

The other item that I am featuring today is the workbench by (epia) available at this round of The Men’s Department.  While it has single and couple animations I decided to use a different pose as I wanted to make sure that the clothes were highlighted as well.

Take me back to another time

Unkindness 014

Hello everyone!  After a short and much needed break from Second Life and blogging I am back for a while.  During the next few months I will probably be taking a few breaks here and there as I continue to sort out some things in real life and anticipating a move in the near future as well.  In the meantime I am looking forward to once again showing you some of the awesome stuff that can be found on the grid.

Today I am featuring some new decor items by unKindness and Culprit.  The Autumn vanity set by unKindness is currently at FaMESHed and includes the vanity table with mirror, the cushion that has animated and static poses and three choices in wreaths for you to decorate for the Fall season.

Culprit is participating in this round of the Mix with their Wish You Were Here Set. That’s the blue tray that has some delicious goodies like petit cakes and hot chocolate.  The set includes a tray with everything on it as pictured, or if you prefer to use one or more pieces around the house then it also comes with individual items for you to use.   Personally, I love it when a creator gives you those kinds of options.

If you haven’t picked up these cute adorable cuddle bears on the chair, which are a gift by BoOgErS at the Arcade.  You better hurry before the event concludes at the end of the month.

I have a bit of catching up to do as I sort through my inventory, but hope to bring you a few more things over the weekend.  The end dates of the events where these items can be found are listed below in the details.
