DDD-Jian 006

I am doing a second post today as I wanted to show a couple of items that are available today only for 25 lindens for 25L Tuesday.   This is a mostly role-play/fantasy/gorean list of content creators who participate.  Though I often find individual pieces or decor items that I can mix in with my own style of dress or decor.

Today for 25L Tuesday two creators that I blog for are participating.  The first is Dysfunctional Designs who has the simple wooden cabinet.  It has a land impact of 2, and has six texture choices for the wood.  I opted to use it outside in this picture, but its uses are many.  Anything your imagination comes up with. I’m also showing the simple metal fence that came out previously, except I was not able to blog it then.  It is available at the main store.  It has several choices for changing the metal.

The other item that I am featuring is the cobblestone path from Jian, also available today for 25L Tuesday.  The path can be changed for the season by simple HUD, and there are 3 rock textures.  The other thing that I like about the path is the transparent ground option, so if you just want the stones.

I picked up another bargain today for 25 lindens.  That’s the wooden ironing board at Hello Tuesday.

Aphrodite -unKindness 002

Well it looks like this month is pretty much over now and with it many events are coming to an end.  This also means soon there is an onslaught of new events about to embark and it being October… it also brings Halloween.

Aphrodite Shops has an abundance of items at their Halloween Market if you are into decorating for this occasion.  The animated ghoulish mirror and the scary stories book are just a couple of items you can find.

Then unKindness has a charmed parlor set available currently at Collabor88, that includes the candles, burner, fireplace, mirror and throne chairs.  The latter three items have six color options.  The hanging bats and single bat that can be worn as well is from Dysfunctional Designs.

As always details all found below.

DaD 017

I became familiar with DaD Designs through their landscape creations and now being reintroduced again through their newest creation of the Tuscany Loft.   The loft at a footage of 24 x 30 is 100% original mesh and only a 40 land impact.  It’s beautifully textured and quite spacious and can be purchased at 20% off while at the Cosmopolitan Room.  It’s quite a bargain for only $390 lindens.

I’ve decorated using items already in my inventory and provided all the details below.

Vintage 0172

It’s been somewhat of a lazy day for me doing much of nothing, but thought I would come sit at the computer for a bit.  At least long enough to process this picture and get it posted as I wanted to show the console table that Dysfunctional Designs has for The Neighborhood.  If you grab it today you can get it at a discount for $150 lindens for this one day weekly event, otherwise the price goes up tomorrow.  It’s a single piece decor and you really can’t ask for a better land impact at only three.

If you’re a toddleedoo another great bargain in case you missed it yesterday is this cute blue romper that comes with the shoes and a hair bow not pictured.  It was for Fifty Linden Friday yesterday, though was still available today for the 50 lindens special.

I so love these vintage toys by Irrie’s Dollhouse, which are all gacha items at the Gacha Garden that just started.  They just give me a warm feeling as they conjure up good memories of my childhood when life was much simpler and safer.

I’m sitting on one of the poses that comes with the chair and just used the adjust feature to move me around a bit.  It’s a hit and miss with furniture that isn’t catered for the small children, though learning to use the adjust on menus comes in handy.

Thanks to Auntie PB for her lovely gift of the unicorn.

Jian 017

Showing a  few things today.  MoDANNA is participating in the Mesh Body Addicts Fair that opens on Saturday, August 1st with the [Beaufort Collection] high waist jeans.  The jeans come with all clothing layers, and appliers for a number of mesh bodies as well as the Omega system.

Next, is the console record player by Jian for this round of The Challenge.  The console top opens and closes with just a click and the record will also spin on touch.  Very low land impact at two.  You can find it at the store.

The ottoman I am leaning up against is from Dysfunctional Designs.  It’s been out a while, but I somehow missed blogging it.  It comes with several stripe texture options including a plain tintable one, which I am using here.  The leaning pose is one of about 9 sitting poses included.

The remaining items I have blogged previously and are listed in the details below.

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.

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.
