Two-for-one shoes.

21 Shoe Hopscotch

Coming soon is the new round of the 21Shoe, a monthly event that happens on the 21st of each month that gives us shoe lovers a two-for-one bargain on new and exclusive shoes. I’m showing off the shoes that HopScotch will have for this November round.   The red/gold shoes I’m wearing are called Capture and are designed to fit the SLink medium feet.  The second pair of shoes near the table are purple with an orange lining named Sidney, and also made to fit the medium mesh feet by SLink.

You can check out the 21Shoe website as the 21st approaches to take a look at the other shoes that will be available during this round.  All the shoes can be found at the main stores and you can also grab the slurls from the website.  The other thing about this event is that it only lasts 24 hours, from 12:01 am SLT on the 21st of each month.

21 Shoe YS&YS 2

You could say I’m doing a two-for-one post today.  So this is what happens when you’re still half asleep.  I’m wearing the two shoes from *YS&YS* that will be sold also on the 21st.  The Tivoli a smooth crocodile black and the Latina open toe in beige.  The shoes are made to be used with SLink high feet and you will get two versions of the shoes — one with “sock” in the name that are made to be used when you want to apply socks to your feet.

Remember the shoes are only available for 24-hours from 12:01 am SLT on the 21st of November.

Heart Homes/Aphrodite Shops recently released this Autumn love nest home that is available at Room69 until November 20th.   It has some lovely details like the ivy that wraps around the poles and the intricate heart shape decor on the doors just to name a few.  It really makes for a nice home.  I’m also showing this pumpkin cart and blanket set from [CIRCA], which has 24 animations built into the blanket and two in the cart.

Hoping everyone has a great Sunday!

003 Aria

I earnestly tried to get into two events that began today.  No luck.   Though I’m still lucky, because I get to show some goodies from Aria that were released for this round of Collabor88.  The Lydia living room sets consists of these sofas, coffee table and all the decor items on the table.

007 Aria

What I continue to love about Aria is the choices you get for textures on most of the items.  I choose to go with white upholstery and white/black cushions for my decoration.   The sofas come in two versions — PG and adult and come with many animations as well as the choice to change texture. The sofas can also sit up to three avatars.  Everything except the books allows you to change texture. It’s great to get the ability to fit the room to your style and personal taste.

It was perfect…


Snapshot_001

Several days ago I saw a Second Life picture that featured as part of the scene a station wagon, which stirred up some memories and a little melancholy.  It took me to happy memories in my youth, because a station wagon was our family vehicle for many years.  While my father had a love for big vehicles and by that I mean they were very long by today’s standards.  I remember one of his favorites was a 1979 Lincoln Town Car and it was in the eighties when he owned it.  As I think about it today, I don’t know if a station wagon would have been his first choice of vehicles to drive.   In his case, you could say it was an absolute necessity with eight children.

There were many road trips that we did going across the country to visit my father’s family, who lived on the west coast.  I don’t know how we managed to all fit in the station wagon, though maybe that explains why it only took dad three days to go from Florida to the state of Washington.  After spending the weekend with two children under the age of five — I can only imagine eight children would be incentive enough to drive with very little sleep and only necessary stops like gassing up just to get to your destination as quickly as possible.

That’s what made me search on marketplace for a station wagon and found this green one, which besides the color resembles one of the wagons we had.  It was perfect.   What made it right was that it has a Texas license tag and that’s where dad was born.
