I know what I bring to the table, so I’m not afraid to eat alone.

Showing another table setting with some mouth watering delights all the way from Argentina. This “Mesa de Campo” set from Aphrodite Shops is another creation for the Multicultural Menu Event, where you will find food and drinks from all over the world. The set comes full of animations for sitting, eating and drinking and if you touch the grill it brings the sizzling sounds of the food cooking adding to the ambiance of your evening.

Just one. I rarely drink anymore at social events because sometimes all it takes is one glass of wine and I start to feel all warm and fuzzy. I’m quite an innocent babe when it comes to drinking and smoking. I have never drank a full beer. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever tried to taste another beer since that one partial taste that was bad enough. I like white wine more so than red and tend to go for fruity ones. I’m an amaretto/7 girl when it comes to anything more beyond wine. I might take a taste of something stronger at say a family gathering, but that’s the extent. Liquor and me just don’t jive. If rolling a piece of paper sack as a cigarette counts as smoking.. then I had my first smoke when I was ten years of age and was being all cool with some neighborhood friends. It must have cured me as I’ve never been inclined to take another try of the real thing. The aura of cigarette smoke is just not very appealing to some of us.. a gentle nudge nudge.

Y is for…(challenge)

On April 26, 2014 By AlexaIn Challenges, Events, Home8 Comments

After another bout of losing inventory and clearing cache and getting some advice from the Firestorm support group — I made a decision to start to clean out my inventory to a manageable size. If I can manage not to buy too many things in the next week those 2,000 items I deleted today should make a small impact. Foolish thinking I know! Anyway, in that process of deleting stuff I started to clean out my night wear folder when I came across these yellow duckie slippers. You could say that’s how I came by my letter “Y” for today’s alphabet challenge. In that same folder was this yellow morning nightie from Greymoon. I was so happy to get my blog post done almost without any effort.

D is for…

“Glamour is what makes a man ask for your telephone number. But it also is what makes a woman ask for the name of your dressmaker.” ~ Lilly Dache

Today’s letter is D and I choose to go with this fabric shop set from Dysfunctional Designs, because I absolutely love it. I really meant to blog this way back when it came out, a few weeks ago at a “We ❤ Role Play” event (crosses fingers I’m right on this). Then time just gets away. In my case, it’s also that things really get buried in my inventory and I loose track easily what I purchase from week to week.

This fabric shop set just made me think of an era I have only read in books. When dresses were made specifically for you at dress maker shops and you were fitted to be able to get the perfect dress made.
