I know what I bring to the table, so I’m not afraid to eat alone.

Waits in vain 019

Showing another table setting with some mouth watering delights all the way from Argentina.  This “Mesa de Campo” set from Aphrodite Shops is another creation for the Multicultural Menu Event, where you will find food and drinks from all over the world.   The set comes full of animations for sitting, eating and drinking and if you touch the grill it brings the sizzling sounds of the food cooking adding to the ambiance of your evening.

Shutter 036

Quick post to share that the wooden shed and the garden cushion I’m sitting on are from Shutter Field and can be purchased at their store in-world today at a discount for Lazy Sunday.

I spent my evening time last night sorting through my inventory organizing some items received and trying to see what I can do to take a few pictures to honor my commitment to those creators who share their creations with me to blog.   It’s two fold in a way.  I am trying to distract myself from over thinking and not let myself be hooked to give into irrational fears to the challenges that are forthcoming in the next few weeks.  That’s the problem with being the strong one sometimes, because when it’s your turn to face challenges no one really thinks you need a hand.

May you enjoy the rest of what remains of your Sunday.

Kuro 024

Seems like events are happening much quicker or it may be that I’m not trying to get there when they first open.  Instead I’m visiting mid through the event or days before it’s over and by then the new one is up within days.   The new round of The Liaison Collaborative just started and it’s geared toward the men this time with the Gentlemen’s Club theme.  I’m showing the newest creation by Kuro.  The Richard sofa and table come in two tones, life and bold and full of animations for single, couple and then the adult ones for the adult set.  Just like a girl I threw in my sneakers and my golfing bag to give the place a bit of a feminine presence.  I showed you the trees that Little Branch had at this round in my post yesterday, but they also have potted plants like this green one I’m showing.

Most of the remaining stuff other than a few are gacha items and you can find all the details below.

El Sabor de la Mexicana

Cinco De Mayo 015

When I saw this top and skirt from Ala Folie several days ago I thought it would be perfect to go around in for Cinco de Mayo.  The outfit comes with a HUD to change the colors of the top and skirt and my only wish was that I could have done that also for the middle portion so I could have made it white to reflect the Mexican Flag colors a little better.  This still works really well and I added the white head piece from LODE.  I am really loving the head accessories from LODE these days and this one is no exception and at 50L chance gacha you can’t go wrong with any color you get.

ARIA 019-2

The spring weather definitely invites you to spend time outside and I got to do a little of that over the weekend sitting out on the lanai enjoying the breeze and reading.  It’s why I can appreciate outdoor sets like this one that [ARIA] has created for this round of FaMESHed.  The set includes the sectional sofa, side and coffee table, decorative bowl of apples, cactus plant and the blue Hawaiian drink.  The sofa has a texture change menu for the cushions, upholstery and wood.  You also get a few choices to change the wood on the tables.

This set is not limited to just the outside, as it can work really well inside a home.

Painting our own realities.

Painters 049

 

Tomorrow the May round of “All The Little Things” event for ToddleeDoo opens and so I’m doing a second post today to show you a few more items.  This is for those who want to be an artist when they grow up. Both the creators of Little Deer and High V. made artists sets for the event.  The easel and table that the little me is sitting at is the set from Little Deer and comes with a blank canvas to add your picture or a painted canvas as you see here.  The stool also has about three different animations included.  The outfit minus the shoes is also from the same creator and is unisex.

Art Major 051

The other set that consists of the stool, easel and table with everything on top and the painted art on the wall is from High V. I am using the adult version that will also be sold at the event, though it is also available in the TD size.  The stools has some funny animations and the canvas gives you several choices in pictures.

Pretty cool stuff.

A rose or a thorn on the side?

Little Flower 030

I’m fighting a little bit of a headache today and hoping some distraction might just be the thing to forget about it.   If you haven’t heard of Little Branch, they are behind some lovely landscaping products like these field of red poppies. They are exceptionally well done and realistic and make for a great addition to your landscape.  They can be found at the newest round at the Cosmopolitan Sales Room.

I am wearing a dress along with the head and neck handkerchiefs and the rose, which are gacha items at this month’s round of Shiny Shabby.  If you haven’t been then you should as they have some lovely items that depict the theme, “For the love of Russia.” M.Birdie did an excellent job with this dress that is in the style of the Matryoshka, which are those cute nesting dolls that are known as a traditional symbol of the Russian culture.  I’ve always loved these dolls and actually have my very own set from Russia. They were a nice gift from a friend who has a daughter that was born there.

Happy Thursday!

I must have had too much wine at dinner, because I came online later in the evening and got to setting up this complete living room set that Aphrodite Shops has at this round of the Season’s Story.  Processed the picture and then proceeded to remove everything and it wasn’t until I picked up the walls that I saw the two art frames that must have gotten buried in the walls when I positioned it.  I’ll just say the wine was delicious.

One of the cool features of this set is that the sofa converts into a bed when you use certain animations.  I think that’s a great concept and works if you have limited space and prims and want the features of both a sofa and a bed.   It’s also great for role-play when you have family and friends visiting and they want to spend the night.

Other news is that today is when you can get a ton of shoes for the two for one deal for the 21Shoe event.  Like these brown pair of heels I’m wearing by KC Couture.   You can find all the information on the web site including the landmark to each location and remember this event is only for 24 hours.

Happy shopping!

It’s all in the palm of your hand.

Palmistry 085

[ARIA] is participating in the newest round of TAG! Gacha, which is themed “The Side Show” with the Morgana’s Wonders Collection.  I am only showing a few pieces here, but there are 14 items to collect in total, with 11 being common, 2 rare and 1 mystery rare.  You can get a look at all the prizes at the website and all the gacha machines are at the individual stores .

The event is HUD based so that on a click it will teleport you to every store so that you can play the gacha machine.  Make sure you tag the board next to the gacha machine so your HUD knows you have been there and by tagging every board of participating stores it will unlock the bonus room and ultimately the prize room, where you can collect any of the mystery rares you might have received.

Get all the information on the event and  using the HUD at the TAG! website.   The event will run until April 30th.
