There's a lot of history and memories waiting to be made in this home

Happy Saturday everyone!  It’s a quick post, but I’m excited to show the bonus reward for DRD’s monthly Shadow Box subscription.  For those of you who don’t know about this, it’s a monthly mystery box that contains 12 items, usually half in a light version and the other in a dark more sinister type version.  Every month is part of a series, which is 6 months.  At the conclusion of a series and if you’ve purchased each series or all shadow boxes then you will receive a bonus reward. This home is the bonus reward for the first series that just completed. I encourage you to visit the DRD website for more information.

I’m also showcasing these awesome morning glory wildflowers by Heart, currently available at FaMESHed. The packs comes in a few colors, and just perfect for the season were coming into.

Have a great one!!

The makings of a simpler time and place

I love creating scenes that make me think of my childhood. I grew up in a rural area where we had places to roam free on our bikes and you just about knew every kid in the neighborhood.  Every house on both sides of the streets also had clotheslines with sheets or other clothes flapping in the wind. We had roosters that crowed every morning and we had the ice cream truck show up every afternoon almost every day.  A simpler time and place indeed. I miss those days.

Well it’s a fairly new month even though we just hit the one week mark and a new month always brings in a fresh round of events. The Men’s Department is one of them that just opened its doors a couple of days ago.  Most items are for men, which makes it a great place to shop for the men in your life.  Though from time to time they also have some fabulous home and garden decor like this set by Anhelo.

The garage is the highest in land impact at only 21 prims, with the others ranging from 1 to 6. Great details on everything and sure to make a great addition to your landscape. I’m also showing the newest tree by Little Branch. The magnolia is a beautiful addition to their line of trees to help your Spring decorating and available at this new new round of FaMESHed.

Wising everyone a happy Friday and the start of a good weekend!

The Devonshire Manor

dad-0122ps

The week off I took from blogging has been productive. I managed to shave off a little over 10,000 items in my inventory and organized my folders  as well.  I also tackled going through a couple of my received folders that contained items purchased off market place that probably date back to when I started.  Those crazy nights when I was bored and used my iPad to visit the market place and bought things I liked.  I loved finding all the landscape stuff I purchased that I didn’t remember having.

Anyways, it’s great to be back to blogging.  I actually started yesterday posting a picture to my other blog as I had an event that I am committed to that had already begun.  I have quite a few decor items to show in the coming days, but I thought to start with showing the latest home by DaD Design and some new landscape by Little Branch.

The Devonshire Manor is a beauty of a home and it’s huge in size with a footage of 36.8 x 30, and has a land impact of 268. I absolutely love the majestic look of the home from the outside and could visualize landscaping it in many ways. Though I opted to go for a cleaner look with a  narrow stream of water to run through as any body of water is always so peaceful.  I’ve included the creator details on the house below as well as their ad for inside of the house.

The trees by Little Branch are the single trees in the front of the home. The first starting from the bench side are the Wild Sassafras, V1 & V2 and then the next after the twisted is the Maple Forest and the last is Oak Wood. All the trees are seasonal, meaning that on click you can pick what season you want.  I kind of took advantage and used all of them on this post, but will probably use them again in outdoor posts.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

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.

Shoes can set you on the right path.

21Shoe 037

It’s almost that time again ladies where you can grab some fabulous shoes for the price of one.   The 21Shoe event is every month on the 21st and only for 24 hours can you buy two pairs of exclusive shoes from some of the established shoe creators in Second Life.  I’m showing two pairs from different designers that are participating this month.  The first picture are the pumps from G&D that are made to fit the Maitreya mesh body, the Slink high feet and The Mesh Project body.

21Shoe 007

This second pair denim heels is made by KC Couture and has been made to fit the Maitreya mesh body, Slink high feet and the Belleza mesh body.  If you want to see the other shoes for this month, check out the 21Shoe  website where the pictures of the shoes are being added daily.   If you want to stay informed about the event and get some great gifts as well, there is a group in-world you can join for a small fee.  This month’s gift is 12 exclusive fashion poses courtesy of Thirty Loop Animations.

The last thing I want to mention is this brick path set by Jian that she is releasing tomorrow for 25L Tuesday. Seriously, that’s a steal!   The brick path is low impact, and has 26 pieces and 12 texture options that can be changed either piece by piece or to all paths of this set by one click.   After tomorrow the price will go up, so make sure you grab it.
