We repeat what we don’t repair

Happy Friday and hopefully for some of you it’s already a great start to the weekend. I have to make a trip into downtown later today and that’s always a bit hectic at any time on a Friday, so I’m not looking forward to the traffic rush as everyone is looking to get somewhere.

Today I’m featuring some decor items starting with the auto repair shop by Nomad currently available at Draftsman that is still ongoing until May 17th. The footprint of the shop is 11 x 16M, with a land impact of 50 and available with copy/mod rights.

The truck decor by Mesh India at the newest round of Cosmopolitan came in handy for this scene as you can see there was a truck needing repair. The truck decor is a gacha set.

Last item that I want to mention is the new red elder trees by Little Branch, which are available at Draftsman as well. These are season trees so that means on touch you can pick the season you want your leaves to be.

That it’s for now.. have a great one!

When I was a child me and my siblings used to love when my paternal grandmother would visit because often times she would bring with her those big vintage trunks full of stuff for us. The trunks would contain some gift for my dad, little knickknacks for my mom and clothes and toys for us. Even when she wasn’t visiting she would always send us these big packages in the mail that always included something for us. We loved her surprises.

These new mailboxes by BoOgErS were the kind we used to have when I was growing up and remind me of that long ago happy memory. Speaking of these mail boxes, they are no ordinary kind. The mail boxes and gate make sounds when you click to open them, giving you or anyone who touches them a little fun. They are currently available at the new round of Shiny Shabby that just started so you have plenty of time to go grab your own.

I didn’t do these shrubs very much justice in the picture today, though will plan on featuring them again soon. They are a new item by Jian and come in sizes small to tall and also a hedge, including their hud system of being able to change the season. You can find them at the main store.

A while back Dust Bunny had a fabulous sale at their store, where everything was basically just fifty lindens. I was familiar with the store from the various gachas they participated in, though rarely if at all gone to the main store. I instantly fell in love with these gable townhouses, because they also brought a long ago memory to mind of the “Rainbow Row” of historic houses in Charleston, South Carolina. If you haven’t been it’s a great city to visit, and this is just one of the main tourist attractions to visit.

It’s time to go open my package!

This is my last post on the jewelry that is available at the Jewelry Fair, which completes my commitment to blog at least one item from each of the creators that nicely sent me their items to blog. Not being a big jewelry person in either world, mainly opting to wear just a watch and the occasional rings this was sort of an accomplishment.

When putting together this outfit I had a little mishap, which turned out alright. Absentmindedly I was clicking removing one hair and clicked to wear another from the same creator without really paying attention. Then when I did look I found both hairs still attached to my head. Looking closer I didn’t think they looked bad together so I left them.

I mentioned that I rarely wear jewelry in my real world, even though I have a jewelry box that contains all sort of fashionable jewelry that I either purchased because I thought they looked great and envisioned wearing or gifts over the years. When I wear earrings I usually go for small size earrings that won’t feel very weighty on my small ears.

These I’m wearing are not small. I chuckled at the name — big stud triple diamond earrings and what girl doesn’t like big… stud… and triple diamonds? The earrings along with the Aztec silver necklace are from Luxury and thought they went pretty well with this equally fabulous dress from Luas that is available at the new round of the Secret Affair that recently opened.

Listen to the beat…

I love music like most everyone, but in the last several months I don’t have the constant need to have it blasting in my ears or to really listen to music. You could say that I am enjoying the solitude of being able to hear my own thoughts and just the peace that stillness and quietness can let you embrace.

Though last night after a few of hours of sleep I found myself wide awake just after one in the morning and reaching for my iPad to listen to music. Having seen the lyrics to a Lenny Kravitz song led me to listen to Carlos Santana’s song “Maria Maria.” At this point the beat of the song didn’t help my sleep situation and several hours later and my battery at 5% I finally started to yawn again.

Even slightly tired I found some energy to want to blog this morning.
