Wanderlust spirit

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, Home, Landscaping6 Comments

Happy Sunday to everyone. I’m a bit wordy today, so to break up the text I moved the picture to the middle. If you just look at my pretty pictures.. sorry, you have to just scroll down a little to find it.

It’s still fairly early at that start of writing this and if you know anything about me then you might know that I’m definitely not a morning person. Though over the last 15 years sleeping in even after staying up late hasn’t been much of an option.

Though I’m sure that I’ll fall prey to a nap this afternoon, especially as I’m not feeling too great and the reason I hit the bed early last night. I think my body wants to catch a cold and I’m all sniffles this morning.

Before I forget and mention what I’m showcasing today I want to give a shout out to a silent follower of mine from Spain who left me a very nice message yesterday. It made me smile the rest of the day when I read it. It’s always nice to hear from someone on how much they enjoy your blog and appreciate what you do. I don’t say it enough, but I am appreciate to everyone who follows, reads or just enjoys my pictures.

Now for what I am showing today — more great items to be found at 6th Republic, which opened its doors yesterday.  This event is based on Europe, so every designer got to choose what part of Europe they wanted to represent. The Hive has this cute seaside shack with 11-15 land impact that comes in a raised or non-raised and with or without doors and two subtle color versions inspired from Cornwall, UK county beaches. I’m using one with doors, but did remove the scripts to keep the doors open.  If you peek just inside you see the rug and the lamp on the table that are from CMYK, another creator participating at the 6th Republic event.  These are created representing Greece.

The last items being shown are the decor plants by 22769.  These are available at Shiny Shabby that runs until May 15th.  The 6th Republic is open until May 20th, so you still have plenty of time to get to these two events to grab the latest and greatest!

Food, friends and sunshine… ingredients for a picnic

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, Home, Landscaping1 Comment

Happy Wednesday! If you are like me and haven’t made it over to the Bloom Event, which has been open less than a week then we’re seriously missing out on some great stuff.  I’ll get there eventually.  In the meantime I get to show you some wonderful items from creators participating.

The first picture shows the abandoned conservatory building by [Merak], which is an absolute delight with its great textures and the windows on one end.  It made it a great foundation for putting this scene together.  I am using the picnic prep gacha items by Hive: the crate bar, eat sign and the pots of silverware on the bar table. The conservatory and picnic items can be found at Bloom.

Then the flowers, gardening stuff and the Victorian iron couch and table are by Dreamscapes Art Gallery.  You can find these at the main store and make sure you check out the hunts they are participating in, because you’ll find some great decor items.

Hive also created some oak and birch trees, which is what I used to decorate around the conservatory. The trees come in a range of sizes and some are newly planted so they have sticks holding them up.  Great for those gardeners who want to do some landscaping. The crates, picnic sign and tent are by Hive and part of their picnic gacha set and the colorful chickies are by Dreamscapes Art Gallery.

Have a great day!

Far from home, but closer than ever

It’s a lovely Tuesday morning, despite it being 81°F outdoors and if you add the humidity on top of that it’s pretty uncomfortable for someone who isn’t used to the heat. I’m used to it. Preferably indoors with air condition and a refreshing drink. That reminds me that I have a mango to slice into later on.

Today I’m showing fashion from two events that opened up in the last days, On9 and The Liaison Collaborative.  Both great events that have a mixture of fashion, decor and poses and lots more, so make sure to go check them out.

Have a fabulous Tuesday!

Happy Sunday and Palm Sunday!  This is a quick post as I’m going out the door soon thereafter. I’m showing all the goodies that JIAN has for this round of Collabor88 and hopefully you didn’t miss the carrot patch in this week’s Fifty Linden Friday. If you did you can grab it at a discount at the event before it goes to full price afterwards. The pants I’m wearing are just one item of the cute things that Neve has at this round of The Liaison Collaborative, so go check them out.

Have a fabulous one!!

The makings of a simpler time and place

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, Home, Landscaping4 Comments

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!

Backyard Garden

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, Home, LandscapingLeave a comment

The last days have been sort of in the rushing mode for me as I’m posting right before I have to leave somewhere or as as I’m starting to close out for the night and have enough energy left just to post. Last night I discovered that I may have to go out of town again for a few days and I won’t have access to SecondLife.  I don’t particularly care to use a laptop for using SL  anyways, but this means I need to get as much done before Sunday.

Today I’m bringing some garden stuff from a few creators that I blog for.  The majority is from THOR, which is their Garden Life gacha set available now at The Gacha Guardians event.  There are 13 pieces, with 12 commons and 1 rare and then two gifts of the guardians.  Those are received when a player does 15 pulls on a single machine.  Visit their website for more information on this event, how to play and other exciting news.

I’m also showing items by [ETNIA], an original mesh/ ethnic interior decor store that I will be blogging for. They are participating in this round of Crossroads with a gardening set called the Cute Frida that includes a round gardening table, some decor pots and plants. You can’t miss them as one has the familiar trademark face of Frida and the floral long standing one on the round table is another. Stay tuned for some more creative designs from this store.

Little Branch is participating in this round of FaMESHed and while I’m not showing the actual tree they are releasing for this round in this post, I am showing some of the grasses that you can get with the purchase of their item at the event.

While I’m not in so much of a rush today I am hungry so that’s it for now. Oops.. I’m forgetting two things I wanted to mention.  The first is that Draftsman has an open photo contest for home and garden decor with a time travel theme that anyone can participate in.  The date is fairly close as you have only until April 7th, but still some time if you want to compete and win some awesome prizes.  Get the details here.  The other is that the 4th Annual Castle, Home & Garden Contest & Expo is seeking bloggers. You can get details on this event here.

Have a great one!

Garden Escape 

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, Home, Landscaping2 Comments


While I like many things of Spring time when the flowers are blooming etc., it’s also not my favorite due to allergies.  I’ve got a headache that won’t quit today so I’m going to let you peruse my credits, but hope you like my garden escape.  It was fun putting together and I really love the hanging peppers and garlic.. time for some homemade salsa?

Have a great one!

I showed you just a glimpse of one of the previews of The Arcade late last night with my previous post showing only one item of the JIAN collection, which I will show more in the coming days.

Today I am featuring another preview almost showing the complete collection from the Spring Things Gacha by Hive.  The whole collection consists of 17 commons and 2 rares with land impact ranging from the highest of 73 for the house to 1 for the smaller items.

2222

If you want to take a peek at the key for the gacha, you can find it here or visit the The Arcade site to find the whole preview guide.
