Today it’s an indoors post showcasing some lovely decor items by two designers participating in the upcoming round of The Liaison Collaborative and another at We ❤ Role-Play.

The first is by a {e}lusive Designs, a new builder who is making their debut into the world of mesh home and garden items. The fireplace, light strings with cards, the book tree, crate and candles are 100% made by the designer with no templates or purchased models used.  I modded the fireplace and string of lights with cards to fit this wall space and tree to fit the space, so the purchased versions are slightly bigger.  I included information the builder included on the items below credits.

Serenity Style is participating with a Solstice Dreams gacha, plus they’re also a sponsor of this round of the Collaborative. The chairs are the rare in the set, then you have the books, bottles, box of ornaments, rug and curtains.  I modded the curtains making them more transparent.

The last decor items that I’m featuring today are by .aisling., who has some wall decor pieces in three colors out now at We ❤ Role-Play.  It’s the trees, cats, birds and the couple representing love displayed on the wall behind the fireplace.

A little about the items.

Book Tree
The tree is 4 LI without lights, and starting at 13 LI with lights, depending on what size you make it. The package comes with a no lights version for those books lovers who just love books.

String of lights with cards – 6LI with shadow
The cards are extra special in my book, (pun intended) as you can put your own photos on the faces of each card. Just edit it, and select the face and add your own picture. That simple.

Candles – 1LI
As with all my items, the textures are custom created by me and carefully baked to bring out a glow and warmth.

Fireplace – 3LI
I love this fireplace, and again, all texturing is custom designed and baked. My goal was that it had a warmth and immersive quality.

Books and Crates – 2LI
This little shabby sheek item is just simply cute and at 2LI with shadow, it can be placed anywhere.

 

Just getting a head start on the weekend

Happy Friday!

Today I am doing a bit of everything from the fashion I’m wearing to the decor I’ve put together.  It’s a long post and I apologize beforehand for not taking more pictures to break it up some. I’m showing a new long hairstyle by eXxEsS called Jaci available on market place and main store.  In case you’re not familiar with her sets; A  has 56 single-tones and B has 56 multi-tones.  The sweater is one of 8 colors available at the Tannenbaum Holiday Market.

The decor is from the Draftsman and Arcade events.  The chair, bench and table are by Shutter Field in collaboration with Decor Junction out now at Draftsman. There are two other tones available in wood and white apart from the rustic being shown. Land impact ranges from 1 to 4 and both the bench and chair have a handful of sit and activity animations. I think 8 or more is considered a handful don’t you think?

The hanging lights and lighted candle on the table are by Hive and are some of the commons in the Home-for-the-Holidays gacha at the Arcade. The adorable husky tangled in lights is by JIAN and it’s one of the rares in the set.  Those yummy bagels on that plate on the table are by Mushilu and were from the recent passed Enchantment event.  They got to me late so was not able to show them previously, but they should be now at the main store.

The remaining decor is the wine/beer set by Onedecor at Draftsman.  I believe that you can purchase the pieces individually or in a full set pack. Also, just to note the wine bottles used on the shelves and also table with wine glass were just unlinked from the wine decor set and used for the scene. Go check out the event it’s ongoing until December 17th.

The scene was created using the Sunrise Beach House by ChiC building, also at Draftsman.  I will be featuring it in a separate post as I didn’t have enough time to get all this done to show it together.

Check it all out in credits and have a great Friday!

Working to earn lindens for the Arcade

syd-033ps

The winter season is also one of my favorite to photograph in Second Life.  It’s fun and festive to put together these winter scenes.  I think part of the draw is that I don’t have snow or a heavy winter other than cold temperatures every so often where I have lived in Florida.

I had fun putting this scene together using the emperor penguins by Jian, which are available at the Tannenbaum Holiday Market and the adorable holiday husky, which is from Jian’s Holiday Huskies gacha at the Arcade. The cute bear with long hair next to me is by BoOgErS, another bear in the collection also at the Arcade. The snowman pail is also another common in the collection by Hive at the Arcade.

As you can see that’s why lil me is selling snowballs just to earn some lindens for the Arcade that just opened today.

In just under three hours the doors will be bursting open wide for the Arcade and the crowds will be wild.  I am doing a second post today even though it’s just gone past midnight so technically it’s the next day to showcase the rare in the Home for the Holidays gacha by Hive.  The whole set is 11 commons and 1 rare, which is this house that has a land imapct of 141.  It’s two levels that are open and has a one car garage.  I absolutely adore it and the rest of the items that I will show off soon!

I cannot take any credit for the landscaping, as it was done by a good friend of mine.

The perfect storm of rocking the boat

the-hive-008-final23

Happy lazy Sunday!

My picture today is to showcase these boats by the Hive, that will be available at the upcoming new round of 6 Republic.  The event runs from today, Nov. 6th to Nov. 20th.  These are great boats for decor if you live on water and quite possible with only a land impact of 18 each.

Enjoy!

Where Did You Sleep Last Night

007ps442

My original title to this picture was going to be something like “RIP to the feelings I had for you,” except I didn’t want anyone to think I was bemoaning a loss or anything to that nature. My sis for one would be in my message box asking if everything was alright.  Nope, this picture was just me being a bit lazy to create a bedroom scene and still wanting to show the bed as creatively as I could. A lot of my pictures are derived from my own mood, but most often these days I’m just inspired by the item itself, a song or a picture or an idea that pops in my head.  It can be numerous things.  Then I get stuck in writing a title! Laughs.

Today I am featuring a couple of items.  The first is this Gothic wrought iron bed by Hive, and available now at Romp.  It’s available in both PG and Adult and has a land impact of 10-11 depending on the version of with a top or no top. The spooky trees I’m showing are by Little Branch and currently at The Liaison Collaborative.  There are 4 different types available.  I thought that I had used all four, but when I did my credits there were 2 of the same kind, so I am only showing 3 of the 4.

Have a great Monday!

The pumpkin harvest… it’s almost time for pumpkin pie

hive-005-1ps

I don’t recall any specific memories of carving pumpkins when I was young. Though as an adult I’ve carved a few for my mother who usually makes a traditional Mexican pumpkin candy, referred to as Dulce de Calabaza“.  It’s a candy that can be eaten all year round, it’s got a bit of a hard shell on the outside and sweet and juicy on the inside, if a bit gooey.

hive-004-1ps

This pumpkin carving animation is part of the hay wagon that is a collaboration between Decor Junction and Shutter Field for this round of On9. The wagon has single, couple and activities that are available by menu. I’m showing the rustic version, but you will find a grey version available as well and both have a land impact of only 5.  It’s a fabulous decor piece for any landscape where you want that bit of rustic or country feel.

hive-003-1-ps

I’m also showing the Autumn Carriage House by Hive, which is available at Collabor88.  The carriage home has a land impact of 47, with an open room on the bottom with static pull down stairs that lead to the top level where you have another open room.  It’s quite cozy and serves for a great little get away place.

The last item that I am featuring is the rare 2-pumpkin hay bales near the carriage house by Bee Designs.  However, in my picture I modded them by making the pumpkins invisible.  I have included the gacha vendor ad below so that you get a proper viewing of the hay bales, that I will feature again with some more Fall/Halloween pieces as the holiday approaches.

I included the last picture, which was the full view one before I took to cropping.

Happy Thursday!

The St. James

dad-004

I know I’ve been a little short on words lately with just putting down credits. Real life has been very busy for me lately with still getting settled into a new home and just trying to keep pace with a few other things going on in my life.  Today, I have a little breathing room and so long as I don’t lose power with the bad weather conditions we’re having I’m all good.

003

I’m featuring the latest new home by DaD Designs, that is available at this round of FaMESHed.  The St. James is a beauty of a home both on the inside and outside.  It has a land impact of 186 and a footage of 22×16, so you must have the space for it. It makes for a great family home and what a delight it would be to decorate it.  More details on the house is found below the credits.

005

I’m also featuring again the pumpkin cart by Hive with the pumpkins, that are available at Salem.  As well as some new trees called Magic Sourwood by Little Branch.  These are available at FaMESHed, which runs until the end of the month.
