The American Countryside

On August 27, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, Hunts, LandscapingLeave a comment

There’s a bit of excitement in the air as the month draws to a close when the doors will open for the next round of the Arcade. The gallery is now up, but I’ve not really had a chance to sit and go through it just yet. Though what I’ve seen so far in the blogs and flickr it’s another great round of amazing stuff starting with another set that I’m showing today by Hive.

The American Countryside gacha is just fantastic. There are 17 commons and 2 rares, which are the barn and the shed and the reward for hitting the machine 25 times is the fence kit that has a secondary color option on touch. The two rares have a texture change option — for the barn: the bottom front panel and for the shed: the side displaying a faded american flag.

So many wonderful pieces to use as a single unit or as a complete set to decor your own homes.

Have a great Saturday!

I’ll be home with bells on

On December 5, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, HuntsLeave a comment

I think the bell on the wreath made me think of the song “I’ll Be Home With Bells On” when I looked at the picture this morning. It’s a holiday classic that still brings a smile and makes you want to stomp your feet. I am listening to it as I’m sitting here writing and starting to get energized.

I absolutely love the feel of a cabin as it conjures up an image of a large fireplace roaring with a warm fire and the idea of sipping hot chocolate all the while in long johns and fuzzy socks. Chuckles.

The complete Christmas living room set is by HJM Designs and is currently available at the Perfect 10 Event at the Cookie Jar. It comes with a rez system so it’s fairly easy to set up or you can just rez and move items about. It’s discounted at the event for half price at only $199L.

Hope you have a fabulous Saturday!

Another day at home

The Perfect 10 Event is back with a new round on November 5th. I’m showing a preview of a few things you can find at this event. Dreamland Designs has a living room set that includes a cuddle and a lovers couch. I guess you can pretty much make out that the lovers couch has adult animations. There is also a chair that is included in the set, along with the rug, table and book tray.

The other set by this same designer is the fireplace with a few decor items including the antique clock that is not attached.

Even though my inventory groans every time I add more stuff to it. I still glance from time to time at hunts that have home decor. Plus I like showing items that can be found at a reasonable price, especially if you’re on a tight budget and still want to have some new items to refresh your home. The plaid pumpkins under the fireplace are from this cute shop I discovered a while back called The Artist Shed. The pumpkins are a sponsor gift, so visit the hunt web site as it will show you where these can be found. The birdcage is a full perm item from Surge for the Antique Grid Show Autumn Hunt. I’m using the version already textured. The fabric texture on the walls are from Clutter and is also an item for the Antique Grid Show hunt. These decor items cost from 1 to 10 lindens and keep in mind they are October hunts, so they will be ending soon.

Just showing another ideal winter scene, even though I would wager shoveling snow doesn’t look this easy. I can’t say that my memory stretches far back to this age as a child to what I might have been like waiting for Christmas to arrive. Though considering that I’m known to be a little impatient at times (smirks a little) it is likely that this would probably have been me waiting and thinking… when are you going to get here Santa!

Happy Thursday!
