The spices of life

On By AlexaIn Uncategorized2 Comments

Good morning!  Not much time to talk these days, but I’ll do my best to give you some information today.  I’m showcasing items from this months crate from Deco(c)rate, which you can still grab for a slightly higher fee. The Dublin old shelf is just gorgeous and comes in two tones.  The dining set by Void is another excellent piece of furniture that warms up any room with these plaid chairs.  It’s also time to pre-order the coming month’s crate now to get it at a 50% discount.  The theme is “Whatever the Weather.”  Just visit the Deco(c)rate website for more information and to grab the landmarks for all the places you can pre-order.

I’m also showing the kitchen goodies that [Merak] made for this initial opening of the Illuminate Event that features home and garden products. The rest of the items shown are listed below in credits.

Enjoy!

Tea party

Hello again.  I was in such a rush this morning, that I didn’t get to write anything about what I was showcasing.  I started my morning with rolling over in bed when my phone went off around 6 am with a message from a friend who forgets we are 6 hours apart.  I am not one to turn off my phone at night.  As one of the oldest in my immediate family it’s a given I’m one of the first in the call list in case of an emergency.   I’m also trying to break the habit of reading the news right before bedtime.  Guess I need to work on it a little more.  Though I now have two new reading glasses, one for backup just in case.

Today I’m featuring some fabulous goodies.  The Garden shed by Mesh India is a really pretty building. I will be showing it on its own in the next few days.  You can find it at the new round of Cosmopolitan.  Anhelo has made a beautiful teapot set with a picnic basket called Dolce.  Everything about this set just brings a smile as it brings fond memories of years gone by to memory.  It is available now at Uber.

The climbing ivy is by DaD-Virtual Living- out now at Collabor88.  Then the last two items I’m featuring are hunt gifts at the Land of Rainbow from Apple Fall and Dahlia.

Check the credits below for all the details!

I’m back today with another post. As it’s already shown itself, this month is going to be a busy one in both worlds.  I want to make sure that I meet all my commitments this month, so you may start to see some double posts in the next couple of weeks.  As always, it’s dependent on what is happening in my real life.

What I’m bringing to you this time is another wonderful gacha set called the Casablanca created by Concept}, out now at Shiny Shabby.  I created this space also using his door gacha available at the main store.  Just in time to complete my scene, Hive made a new release of plants available at Collabor88.

Stay tuned! Lots of great stuff to come!

Well not much to say this afternoon as I’m literally here only to publish this post and then I’m out the door.  I’ll return to normal some day soon. Maybe. Normal is boring right?

Until then.. have a great one!

To thine own self be true

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

Morning everyone, even though that by the time that I finish writing this it will be gone into afternoon. I had such a long day yesterday, where the majority of it was spent in one room after another just waiting and patience isn’t my strongest suit. Though yesterday is over and today is another day and while my body is still sickly my mind is sharp.

Today is a mixed post of fashion and decor. Jules, fellow blogger and now friend said something that resonated and I’ve often thought of myself. Are we a bit redundant talking about everything we’re showing when it’s all listed in credits? For the most part and I would say 99% of bloggers only blog what they like and reviewing is literally absent.

I think what most of us do is give sneak previews or showcase items in how we may dress up a fashion item or decor or landscape the various genres of items we receive. Often giving inspiration to others who may not know how to fit something into a room, home, land or even their bodies.  I for one lack the fashion skills that others have to find the perfect jewelry and makeup to accessorize my look. It’s a bit of laziness to go digging in my inventory and just because I use the very minimal in real life as well that it’s carried over into SL.  That’s one thing to love about the diversity of blogs we follow. I get to be awed by seeing how you fashionistas out there look and put yourself together and envy you just a little.

Anyways, I’ve rambled on long enough and here we are at credits. All great stuff right?

By the way make sure to go check out Jules awesome blog at Sunshine & Sparkles!
