Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life

DaD 008

I am squeezing in another quick post as I already had the picture and credits done.  I have only one other post completed except I’m not entirely sure if and when I will post it.  For sure after the Christmas weekend I will focus on posting anything left undone.

Though if I don’t get around to doing anything before Christmas, I want to take this time and wish everyone a blessed and wonderful Christmas.

DaD Designs is participating in this new round of Lost & Found with their “Music is Life” gacha set.  I’ve detailed all the items below that are included in the picture, but not necessarily everything that makes up the gacha.  I think there are a few other items that I didn’t use.   The chairs are either pg or adult, and come in two different colors.   The other items that I am featuring are the stars on the wall by Una and are available at this new round of Shiny Shabby.

Decadence

Impertinence 028

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far.  It’s been raining lots here in my part of the world.  While these summer thunderstorms don’t last very long they seem to come in with a vengeance at times.  They make their presence known with their thundering rumblings and strikes of lighting.

It makes for a lazy afternoon and if you have to stay indoors then why not go for a little decadence.  The Perfect 10 event is about to start in a few days and you can find this bench from Impertinences to help you if you’re so inclined to a little self-indulgence.   You can find the bench in a brown or black wood that come with a texture change hud to change the leather of the seat that also has ten poses to choose from.

If you haven’t already joined the 21Shoe group then you’re missing out on some great group gifts.  I’m wearing the latest gift that was provided by Kelpsydra, which are these stockings that come in three colors and are made to fit the Maitreya and TMP mesh bodies and also come with omega appliers and system layer.  With this pose you really can’t see much of the violet boudoir corset I’m wearing, though it was only 50 lindens and if you hurry you can still find it today.

The storm isn’t quite over.

Den 064

It’s been raining every other day it seems in my real world and today was no exception, so when I was going through the various wind lights trying to find one this one seemed to settle on me.  The [Den] has released  a new model called the Sundara Villa that is only 29 land impact.   It has three large sections to the home and has some really nice design features like the columns in the front of the home to the shape of the windows and the lighted effects of the ceiling in each room.   You can find this home at the current round of Uber.

Aria 0582

Tomorrow hundreds will be storming the gates to the entrance of the Arcade.  Though if you want a little less chaos then try FaMESHed, which opens up with a new round tomorrow too.   [ARIA] has the Signe living set, which comes with a very comfortable sectional sofa, and some wonderful decor pieces.  The sofa has up to six different upholstery colors and many patterns to choose from for the cushions and throw. This set can be found in PG and Adult and can be purchased as a set or individual pieces.

See details below for all the items shown.

Choices.

 “You are free to choose, but you are not free from the consequence of your choice.” ~ A Universal Paradox

Bon

As I was looking at this picture and thinking of the choices of food before me.  It lead me to thinking of how we make choices in all areas of our life from food, to what we wear and to the people we allow in our lives.  Obviously, some decisions are easier than others and usually the harder ones are when your mind and heart wage a war between what you want and don’t want. These days I find myself contemplating the needs versus wants and readjusting my way of thinking in some areas.  Ultimately, maybe reminding ourselves of what we deserve helps put things in perspective to be able to choose wisely.

That’s just one complexity of life.

Here in Second Life one of the choices if we’re so inclined to play the gachas is choosing to take a chance on the item we want and when to stop playing before we spend lots of lindens.  Of course, I’m giving myself a pep talk as the Fantasy Gacha opens today.  🙂

Pumpkin Patch

“Things fall apart so better things can fall together.” ~ Marilyn Monroe “

Pumpkin Patch

The last few weeks have been a little up and down for me and a large part is my own fault for allowing circumstances beyond my control to negatively get the better of me.  Though over the weekend I had a bit of an epiphany and accepted the circumstances in the best way possible by making a choice to let nature take its own course.   My seventy plus year old grandmother often reminds me that sometimes you have to let one door close to allow another to open.  Since she’s still kicking up a storm I guess she knows what she’s saying.

Feeling a bit of the tension now leaving me I found myself wanting to bring out little me, because she makes me laugh at myself.  I picked up these pumpkins during a 25L Tuesday, which I might add this list is mostly role-play items.  I have always loved the idea of a pumpkin patch and unfortunately here in my part of the world you only find them in the yard of a few churches who decide to sell pumpkins to raise funds.  Just not the same thing and it’s a good thing I’m in Second Life, because I’m definitely not wearing mommy clothes for such a place.
