Hi Honey, I’m home

Happy Friday everyone. I hope it’s a good one for you so far. Mine is a bit slow going, as I’m feeling sort of lazy and now that I’ve had a fairly large breakfast I’m even more sluggish.  Even though I have quite a few things I need to work on in both worlds I’m taking the liberty to just take it easy today.

Yesterday, was also the anniversary of my dad’s passing and normally as I’ve done the last few years I usually dedicate a post to him.  Except this year I decided to forego it and keep my thoughts and memories to myself. I needed to get through on my own this time. I think that’s also why I’m feeling a bit slow going today as yesterday was an emotionally charged day not to mention an exhausting kind of week physically that I need to recharge the next couple of days.

I won’t keep you long, but will mention the few items that I am featuring in today’s post starting with the items from the travel preparations set by [Merak] at Tres Chic.  They’re scattered through the room, but the set includes the world map on the wall and below it on the side is the globe sitting on the storage box that’s also part of the set. The last two items are the flower bouquet laying on the chair and the travel planning items just below the cot.  The sofa and chairs and the pallet table including the fish decor and frame next to the map are by Dreamscapes Art Gallery.  You can find these items at the RFL Home & Garden Expo.  It’s one of two sets that are available.

Last items are by Q-Essentials, which are the industrial reclaiming hanging shelf and the wood cart that can be found at the main store.  Originally they were going to be at Draftsman, but for now this event has closed down.

Have a fabulous day or what’s left of it and hope you enjoyed all the pictures.

Home office

I’m back this evening with another post and again it’s a mixture of fashion and decor.  I’ll begin with the home decor items as this is my first post introducing you to this year’s Relay For Life Home & Garden Expo that just opened yesterday and will end on June 4th.  It’s an annual event that raises money for Relay For Life of Second Life (RFL of SL). The Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature fundraising event, and RFL of SL is one of its virtual counterparts. Please visit both the Home & Garden Expo website and the RFL of SL website for more information.

The exhibitors participating at this event are required to have two 100% donation items at the Expo. These items must be new and exclusive to the Expo for the duration of the event.  Bloggers for this event are assigned to a particular sim and they are required to blog any donation items from their sim first before they can blog any other items. I believe there is a total of 9 sims for this event and I happened to get assigned to one that had relatively few creators and while I was a bit disappointed that none of these creators had blogger boxes its actually given me a little freedom to blog who ever had boxes out at other sims.  That being the case I am going to try and do my very best to feature as many creators as I can during the event that will include a mixture of donated and other items.

Today’s post has items by World of Wood, a store that specializes in quality wooden homes, lodges, cabins and furniture.  I just really liked this office set and bookshelves that come with several texture options for the wood.  I like dark wood so I chose mahogany.  Theory is a store that carries classic and contemporary furnishings and they have the English chest on barley twist legs and the brass box terrarium at the event.  The last item featured from this event is the trellis with orange climbing roses just outside the window by TerraShop, a store that makes quality mesh flowers and plants.

Then I’m featuring items by 22769, a well known store that carries a little bit of everything in home and garden decor.  They are participating in a few events this month. The Colonial lounge set is their release for The Challenge Event.  The set includes the bench, side table, elephant picture and the pineapple lamp.  The plant on the stand and on the chest are their release for this month’s round of The Liaison Collaborative, which I’ve previously featured in another recent post. The plate with donuts is from their Sugar Shock gacha set at The Gacha Garden. If you want to see the key for this set, visit here.  The cute puppy underneath the bench is by {Your Dreams}, and is at Tres Chic.

If you’re still reading at this point, thank you! Most of the fashion items are by creators participating at this month’s round of Tres Chic.  Hair by Sintiklia, with this lovely dress by Clef de Peau and watch by [Zoom].  The heels I’m wearing is a new release by Empire at this round of Collabor88. The pose used is by an lar [poses] available at Tres Chic.

Peruse the credits for everything else shown in the pictures.

Saltwater Cottage

Morning everyone.  I hope it was a pleasant weekend for all of you, mine was fine up until I started to get a cold and now I’m all sniffles and shakes and all that crappy stuff you feel when it’s at the onset.  I’m trying to desperately shake off before it gets any worse, because I have so much to do in both worlds.

Today I am showcasing a couple of things starting with this marine edition of the saltwater cottage by Thistle Homes for May’s Builders Box.  If you’re not familiar with this subscription event, visit the Builders Box website for more information but I’ll give you a short and sweet version.

It’s a pre-order event that only happens quarterly, and every box is full of homes, skyboxes and other types of buildings. If you order before the release date the price is lower and you get to be surprised as you won’t be able to view what you purchased until the release day. Or if you rather see the items beforehand, then you pay the higher price once the release day reveals the creations for the month. This is one of the lovely homes in this month’s box — below credits find more specifics on the home. I’ll be showcasing a few more in the coming weeks and next two months.

The other item that I am showing is the beach path set by 22769 out now at We ❤ Role-Play. I listed every piece that I used, but there are still a few pieces not shown. It’s great addition if you have land on water.

Anyways, that’s it for now.. hope it’s a great day ahead!

Wanderlust spirit

Happy Sunday to everyone. I’m a bit wordy today, so to break up the text I moved the picture to the middle. If you just look at my pretty pictures.. sorry, you have to just scroll down a little to find it.

It’s still fairly early at that start of writing this and if you know anything about me then you might know that I’m definitely not a morning person. Though over the last 15 years sleeping in even after staying up late hasn’t been much of an option.

Though I’m sure that I’ll fall prey to a nap this afternoon, especially as I’m not feeling too great and the reason I hit the bed early last night. I think my body wants to catch a cold and I’m all sniffles this morning.

Before I forget and mention what I’m showcasing today I want to give a shout out to a silent follower of mine from Spain who left me a very nice message yesterday. It made me smile the rest of the day when I read it. It’s always nice to hear from someone on how much they enjoy your blog and appreciate what you do. I don’t say it enough, but I am appreciate to everyone who follows, reads or just enjoys my pictures.

Now for what I am showing today — more great items to be found at 6th Republic, which opened its doors yesterday.  This event is based on Europe, so every designer got to choose what part of Europe they wanted to represent. The Hive has this cute seaside shack with 11-15 land impact that comes in a raised or non-raised and with or without doors and two subtle color versions inspired from Cornwall, UK county beaches. I’m using one with doors, but did remove the scripts to keep the doors open.  If you peek just inside you see the rug and the lamp on the table that are from CMYK, another creator participating at the 6th Republic event.  These are created representing Greece.

The last items being shown are the decor plants by 22769.  These are available at Shiny Shabby that runs until May 15th.  The 6th Republic is open until May 20th, so you still have plenty of time to get to these two events to grab the latest and greatest!

The other woman

I’m back and I promise this will be it for today.  I wanted to get in a post for Tres Chic that began a few days ago.  Some great fashion this round.  The trench coat is mesh body compatible and is available in 5 colors. The skin worn is Kitty by YS&YS and is a applier for the Catwa mesh head. It is part of April’s Powder Pack, which you can still buy it and others off marketplace.  Close ups of skins shown are below.

The hair worn is by Tukinowaguma and it’s available in five color palettes or a fatpack for all colors. The dress on the other woman.. hence my title is by Kenny Rolands, also mesh body compatible and available in 5 colors. The skin worn is by Colivati Beauty called Hailey and available in 6 color tones. I’m wearing the tan tone.  The short hair style is by Pr!tty and available in a few color choices. All the fashion is available at Tres Chic unless otherwise mentioned.

The decor is by three separate creators.  The larger part of the decor is by 22769, which is the Baroque terrace and topiary sphere trees.  It’s a fantastic piece and available at We ❤ Role-Play.  The sleeping cupid 3-tier fountain with the curved seat is by [Tia] and at this round of Shiny Shabby that just opened.  The trees in the background are red elders in 4 seasons by Little Branch and are available at this round of Draftsman.

That’s it for now…have a lovely weekend!

Garden Escape 


While I like many things of Spring time when the flowers are blooming etc., it’s also not my favorite due to allergies.  I’ve got a headache that won’t quit today so I’m going to let you peruse my credits, but hope you like my garden escape.  It was fun putting together and I really love the hanging peppers and garlic.. time for some homemade salsa?

Have a great one!

The gamers life

Games 038

It’s blistering hot outside today.  It sucks the life out of you if you’re in that oppressive humid heat for very long or it does me.  I’ll say thank goodness for air conditioning.

Today I’m showing a few items from a couple of creators.  This gaming hole set is by Jian and it’s available starting today at the Festival of Sin Event that runs until September 15th.  The set includes the tv console, chairs, pizza boxes, the gaming systems and light, table and chips.   The wood texture is changeable by menu and the chairs have lots of fun poses, like this one I’m using sitting on my stomach.  All that munching on junk food wore me out.

Next, is (Epia), who is participating in this round of Men Only Monthly with several new items for men.   The gentlemen shoes you see on the floor, comes with a color change menu giving you eight colors to choose from.  The fur hat with flaps also has color change options for both the main hat and side fur.  The men are being spoiled with so much color options to choose from as the panel cap comes with even more color and design options. The Men Only Monthly runs until September 15th.

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

Residential Room 143

034

The [Den.] has released a new full mesh residential building that has a land impact of only 39.  I love these low prim homes as it leaves you with plenty of prims to decorate it.  This is a wide open model with plenty of space to decorate too! It is materials ready and has built in lighting with a sliding door and is copy and mod in case you wish to make any changes to suit your needs.

The Den 036

You can find Room 143 at a 70% discount at the just opened new round of The Men’s Department.
