Playing house

Buglets007

The little ones like to play house or sometimes like in this case take over the house.  Showing some items for the little ones today.  These tents are from Buglets as a gacha item and can be found at the current round of The Play Room. There are 10 commons and 1 rare and come with 12 poses for you and a friend.  It’s low impact at only 3 land impact. I’m on the setting up pose, but did use my handy dandy animare hud to move my head around so I could face the camera. You know we little ones are vain like that.

I’m also wearing some new nails also by Buglets, which can be found at the store.  The cabin nails comes in lots of colors and each color comes with four options.  I’m showing the ads below so you can get an idea of the colors for both items.

Happy shopping!

Roots to remind you where you’re from

Do you know where you come from 012-3

Doing a quick post to show you this family tree decor item that Dysfunctional Designs has created for today’s Fifty Linden Friday. The top I’m wearing is also out for today’s special pricing of fifty lindens.

I’ve always been fascinated with our family history and always enjoy hearing the stories told by my grandmother or other older members of the family.  It’s on my father’s side of the family where it gets a little sketchy as most of the older generation are long gone.  I’ve been wanting to do that ancestry DNA testing to get a glimpse of the ethnic mix in our family and hopefully gather more details on our family history.  Has anyone ever done this testing?  I’d be curious to know.

It’s that wonderful time of the month again where you can grab two pair of shoes for the price of one for the 21Shoe Event that hits the grid on June 21st.  If you are not familiar with the 21Shoe Event. It’s a monthly event that takes place on the 21st of each month within Second Life and offers you the opportunity to purchase new and exclusive shoes at two-for-one pricing.  Designers are given the option to provide either new or exclusive shoes. So if you love shoes it’s a great bargain to take advantage of.  There is also an in-world group for you to join that will keep you informed of the event and as a member you will be entitled to monthly group gifts.

Some good news!  Starting this month instead of having 24 hours to shop the time has now been extended to 48 hours.  This change is to make sure all of our friends around the world get a chance to also shop and pick up some greats shoes.

This month there are twelve designers participating and today I am showing you the Sabot Janis Polka Dot heels from G&D The Italian Style.  This is one of two fabulous pairs from this designer. Shoes are made to fit the Maitreya, Slink and The Mesh Project.

So ladies get your pocketbooks ready… the time is only days away.

Little B 0132

When I created this scene I was thinking of my father as today is the anniversary of his passing.  The orange trees created by Little Branch for this round of Shiny Shabby remind me of the time he took us out to an orange grove with him.  I vaguely remember it now.  Every so often when he was in between music gigs he would drive trucks or find some odd job.  One of his friends managed this grove and dad thought picking oranges would be easy.  I smile at the memory now and the retelling of this story even years later.  Dad was a hard worker, though this type of laborious work just wasn’t in him.  I don’t know how many of those tubs he filled before he hauled us all out of there, but it wasn’t long.

I live in Florida so seeing rows of orange trees is almost an every day thing as they line the roads I travel to and from work.  It’s nice to be able to share them here even on this anniversary of my dad’s passing as I honor his memory.

Happy Memorial Day.

Jian for Home Show

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, Landscaping2 Comments

Jian 056

This is a bit of a long post, though somewhat very therapeutic for me as this was not one of my best weeks and ended yesterday in not a very pleasant way. Though today is a new day and I look forward to just relaxing this whole weekend.

There is a new store called Jian coming to the grid, even though the creator behind it is not new and many know her work as a mesh artist under the brand of Dsyfunctional Designs.  The sister store will be on the same sim as Dysfunctional and while it is now open to the public it will have its grand opening on June 1st.  The creator has already made good on her renewed commitment to bring high quality mesh goods with low impact in geometry, textures and script time with their items at the Home Show 2015.

The first item that I want to mention is the ash trees.  The new system that Jian is utilizing works exclusively with their products and Jian foliage.  It’s such an easy system.  You rezz your trees and attach the HUD and click it.  There will be several options that you will be able to choose to work with the products… by season (spring, summer, autumn and winter), product or individual items.  The last is quite handy when you want to individualize and give it that personal touch by changing each tree with its own season, the leaves and bark.  I have a mixture of the spring, summer and autumn trees in this picture.

The next item is the bird bath that also can be customized with a texture choice menu that has 12 textures for you to choose from.

Jian 057

The last item that I want to point out is the hanging lanterns that too can be customized by just clicking on them.  You will be able to change the texture as well as make a choice for the lights being on, off or set to day cycle based on the sim daylight settings.

As always with script items, make sure you work with a copy and keep a spare in your inventory in case something goes haywire.  Then when you’re all done getting it exactly how you want it then you have the option to also delete the script so that it can reduce potential lag that scripts sometimes can create.  I know that whenever I have landscaped with lots of greenery, grass always seems to create lag for me and I have to make sure and delete scripts once I get everything looking exactly as I like.

The remaining items being shown are from various creators that participated in the just finished round of TAG! Gacha.  I don’t know if the machines will be available at the stores now that the event is over, but if they are and you get a mystery coupon you will not be able to claim those as that redemption location is now closed.

The little bunnies.

Bunnies 008

When I got these baby bunnies from Dysfunctional Designs I thought they were the cutest little things.  These are the rezzable version, but you also get a version to hold and it moves in your hand to stand up.  How cute is that! On top of that you can just touch and it brings up the menu giving you several options for color.  They will be released today at the We ❤ Role-Play event and the rock besides me is actually a butterfly emitter, which allows you to set the range and and color of the butterflies.  The butterfly rock will be available today for The Neighborhood.  Another great item that Dysfunction Designs made for this holiday is the Easter basket that was for 50L Friday, except I was not able to get this picture done until late last night.

Sleepy Girls 013

This last picture was a bit of a fluke.  I was struggling a little with doing a dual log and every picture was coming out with one of us having our eyes closed or both.  Wearing eyes lashes and your eyes all scrunched up was nothing pretty.  I did a little processing and here we are taking a nap.

Have a great Saturday and if I don’t get around to anymore posts this weekend…. have a Happy Easter!!

Until the cows come home.

Cows Come Home 025

This picture really represents my desire just to be able to sleep.  I had high hopes of sleeping in this morning, when the neighbor’s car alarm went off at 6:30 a.m. and so after that wake up I drifted off only for my phone alarm to go off an hour later.  Guess it was a sign to wake up.

My big pixels have no trouble finding rest as you can see, while the little me wants to play.   These Bessie the Cows are from Dysfunctional Designs and are available at the Fantasy Collective.  There are two versions, the static grazing cows and one with poses and there are several texture choices for the cows.

I’m off to do some real shopping, so everyone have a fabulous Saturday!

[ARIA] @ Shiny Shabby

Aria Shiny Shabby

There is a new event on the grid called the Shiny Shabby, which will be vintage themed and will open on the 20th of each month and close on the 15th of the following month.  [ARIA] is participating with this vintage mini office set called “Vesna” that consists of the desk, chair, tea cup and flowers in a can.  I went with the white version, but the desk comes with 7 texture choices for the wood, the chair comes with 7 fabric choices and the tulips comes with 9 options for the flowers.  The set is available either in PG or adult and you can purchase the items as a set or individual pieces.  I particularly liked the animations with the chair that allow for female and male sits, activities like writing, eating and cuddles plus many more.

I’m not sure how I missed seeing these toys from Dysfunctional Designs when I made my trip to this round of We ❤ Role-Play event.  I have very fond memories of playing jacks as a child and besides marbles this was probably the next best thing!

This round of Shiny Shabby will open tomorrow at 12 SLT.
