It seems WordPress has changed the format on how to do blog posts, or it might have previously changed and I was using the old version. I don’t know. I can’t seem to find how to get the previous way back, because I’m not liking what feels like a boxed in version.
Anyways, don’t have much time this afternoon so I’m going to point you to credits today. Still lots of great Christmas decor all over grid and also fashion.
Have a great Monday!

Happy Monday! Or let’s hope it is or was. I am happy to be showing you some wonderfully fantastic items of decor today. The creator behind [Tia], whose name is actually Tia, has made some great pieces for this round of Shiny Shabby. Her Valerie Lounge set is just amazing and so perfect for a white Christmas. I used every piece of the set as it was all so pretty to leave out any.
I’m also showing some wonderful pieces by Shutter Field in collaboration with Decor Junction; the white Christmas chair, blanket basket and the gift boxes fit right in with today’s scene.
I created this scene using the new Aspen cabin by DaD Designs, but I will be featuring that tomorrow or later tonight maybe so I won’t give too many details other than to say it’s another super home with snow add on for the winter season.
Have a great one!

I mentioned in my blog post yesterday that today I would be featuring a new home. So today I bring you The Cranmore by creator Cain Maven. If you’ve been around Second Life for a while you’re probably already familiar with his homes under his brands Maven Homes and also Quantum Luxury Homes.
Both brands offer you high quality homes in various styles in a wide range of prices. Though having just recently toured one of the previous new releases, the “Roma” home, beautiful large luxury home is almost too simple to describe the beauty and magnificence in size and looks of that particular home.
The Cranmore is way smaller in comparison, but it’s also not a small home either at a size of 32 m x 35 m. It’s a bit of a mixed brick style build as you get a bit of a renovated barn with an industrial rustic feel with a touch of modernness. What I especially liked immediately upon entering the home was the sense of not feeling like I was boxed in. I think that’s attributed to the openness, large picture windows and the high ceilings, which is something you don’t find a lot these days.
The rooms in the house include a bedroom, bathroom, front room, a kitchen with a dining/living room space and attic. The kitchen and bathroom decor is removable. I had a little fun decorating the kitchen with old and new items. The kitchen as mentioned is an open plan where you have the dining room and another living room space. The picture below shows the other side of the kitchen as you enter it through the open barn doors.
You can see the attic space in the picture above that gives you another level to put in another bedroom, office or another sitting area. Plus you can see what I mean about the openness and high ceilings.
Above is the bathroom and the next picture is the bedroom. Just take a look at the realistic detail of the materials used.
In the second picture you saw the home from the back and you see the big window just behind the green loungers, which are another collaboration by Shutter Field and Decor Junction and are available currently at Tres Chic.
If you click the window or the wheel on the wall, you will see the wheel begin to spin as the window opens, giving you this wonderful view out or whatever view you may have once positioned. You can see my hands there as I am taking a breather enjoying the night hours and the flock of birds. Now most species of birds rest during the night as I came to read, though there are some birds like for instance some sparrows that fly at night during migration periods. I think it was one of those periods.
If you read and saw all the pictures, thank you for taking the time as I know it’s a very long post.
Below credits I’ve also listed information the creator has provided. The house is set to be released this weekend, and while I’ve done best to show you the house from almost every angle, go check it out for yourself!

I’m in the groove right now listening to 80’s music, which was one of the highlights of my teenage years. When I was putting this scene together the song, “Somebody’s Watching Me,” is what came to mind. For most of my career, at least the past 15 years, I had a very public life where I had to get used to the fact that there is always someone watching you.
I kid you not. It was a bit uncanny when comments would reach me that someone would see me at a certain place or I said this or that, all unbeknownst to me. I was still in this career when I started Second Life that at times I was a little apprehensive with it. Though I’m no longer in that career and fully embracing not having to censor everything that I do or say.
Today I am showing DaD Design’s latest creation, which is the ‘Wrought Iron Vintage Bed’. It’s 100% original mesh and is available in both PG and Adult and has 4 different texture colors (white – gray – dark grey – black) accessible by clicking on the headboard.
You can find more details on the bed below the credits.
**PG VERSION:
* 17 single sit animations (with props & items)
* 19 Couple cuddle animations
**ADULT VERSION:
* 17 single sit animations (with props & items)
* 19 Couple cuddle animations
* 41Couple sex animations

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.
For every national and international disaster Doctor’s Without Borders has been there. There is no barrier, border, or line they will not cross, no length they will not go to too bring aid to those who need it most. Where there is need they are there giving generously all of their knowledge, talent, and skills. Now it is time to give back to them.
Second Life is a global community and with the help of AIM, LTD, ModeLS Magazine, The Second Life Enquirer, SL Live Radio, and Versus Magazine we will come together to celebrate the world wide movement of Médecins Sans Frontières with an entire two weeks of parties, events, and fundraising beginning Sept 9th to the 25th, 2016. Join us at The Spoonful of Sugar Festival as we jet off to old London for what this inaugural event and help MSF/DWB to make a difference in the world.
We have some of the most amazing, wonderful, and talented designers in fashion, home and garden, and breedables joining us to make this an event to remember. Take a moment to shop Alafolie, Ex Machina, Zuri Jewelry, Roanwood for exciting fashion and home goods. Stop by the Wonderful World of Meeroos or visit Wild Kajaera or Dragoos on the lovely breedables sim. There will be a little bit of everything from clothing, to hair, and skins. Our Home & Garden Sim will be filled with furniture, home accessories, and gorgeous houses that will make you the envy of your neighbors. Finally the breedable sim will house some of the most adorable, cute, and cuddly creatures that danced through anyones imagination. The best part it can all be yours and it will all benefit an amazing cause.
This is just the beginning though we have some fabulous events planned for the week including an opening gala event, fabulous London Bridge themed fashion show, live entertainment, dance parties, and more. Enjoy a carriage around Piccadilly with Elite Equestrian.

Tomorrow the newest round of On9 begins and besides fashion there is always a few home and garden stuff at this event. I’m showing a couple items today that you can find. The first is the industrial tray by Decor Junction, it has a magazine, vase and two steaming cups of coffee to get your morning started or to finish off your evening.
The other item is the white apothecary cabinet by New Church. It’s also available in 4 other wood colors and stands at about 2m tall. It can be resized, though you’re cautioned that it may affect this item’s land impact. If you do resize, you need to make sure doors are set as closed, as they will reset to accommodate the new dimensions as you resize it. It also allows you to link items together with the cabinet, helpful instructions are provided if you do this.
Last item being shown is the Livingstone sofa by Dad Designs, available at The Crossroads. It’s got a land impact of 13 and is available in both a pg and adult version. Both have an abundance of single, couple and family animations.
