Stand tall and be strong

Over the summer I took a trip to Texas as I was contemplating on moving there at the time.  I traveled with all women that are members of my immeidate family visiting various cities.  While at each city we took in the local attractions and in San Antonio one of the places we visited was the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch, where you get to drive through acres of what their web site describes as “rolling hills, creek beds, and magnificent live oak trees and witness the behavior of over 500 animals from 40 exotic, native and endangered animal species worldwide.” 

I can certainly attest to seeing a lot of animals that literally came up to your car as you drove through at a slow pace.  Unfortunately, during the time we traveled that part of the nation was experiencing heavy rains and the roads where the giraffes were housed and roamed were flooded.  My niece loves these tall and regal looking animals and I do also. Though to compensate they had moved a few giraffes to the front of the ranch in an enclosed area where you could walk to and see them up close.  This was one of the best highlights of our trip as we really had an enjoyable time seeing all the animals and we laughed so hard during our time there that it will always be a pleasant memory for all of us to cherish as we bonded even closer then.

So that when I saw this nicely done woodlance fence set from .peaches., which is their release for the Draftsman Event that starts tomorrow I thought of using giraffes, which then made me remember our trip.  The fence ranges in land impact from 1 to 12 for the arch with the gate.  I will be showing more items from this event in the coming days.

My hair and clothes are from this round of Tres Chic with the hair with fedora being by Beusy and sweater top and suede lace-up shorts or hotpants as named by Petite Mort.  It’s not often that I go outside my natural tones when it comes to wearing hairs, but I felt like something different today so I chose the special colors to wear. I thought it looked really pretty and vibrant.

The outfit is mesh body compatible and is also available in several different colors; 5 for the hotpants and 10 for the tops. They fit perfectly with my maitreya mesh body and to complement the outfit I am wearing the newest thigh high heels by Empire called Weigela that are available at this new round of Kustom9.  The pose is another great one by K&S Poses, which is a continuing one of their Katya sets.

If you read this far… thank you!  I’m in a chatty mood apparently. 🙂

Have a great one!

I’m back…even though I never got an opportunity to mention that I would be gone for a few days and without internet.  My apologies for that as I just didn’t have the time to log in and do one more post.  Then somewhere between that time period and now I’ve misplaced the memory stick where I had saved those photos.

In any case I’m ready to once again show you some wonderful items from all over the grid.  It might be a little slow going at first as a knee injury has flared up and I’m limping at the moment.

Today I am featuring several items and I’ll start with what I am wearing.  It’s going to be a rather long post for one picture, so I will try and include more pictures next time.  The hair and hat is by No.Match and available at this newly opened round of On9, that started on September 9th.  No.Joke and it’s the name of the hair/hat combo and great for this fall weather that is upon us now.  The sweater top is by [Lakshmi] and also at On9.  It’s available in several colors and there is a skirt that is available as well to fit the top.

The Royalty Leggings I am wearing is a new release by Wazzer Works and will soon be available at the newest round of The Secret Affair that begins September 15th. This is the start of their Fall 2016 line, so hope to show you more of their creations soon.  The heels I am wearing is a new release by Empire and available at Collabor88.  The Hebe heels includes 15 colors in the color hud and they are mesh body compatible.

I’m holding a money duffel bag by (epia) available at their main store.  The name of the 100% mesh bag is “Make it Rain” and literally it can rain lindens. It’s HUD-controllable, and has the ability to throw money stacks that can pay real linden dollars to those who walk over or touch them.  The amount can be changed via the HUD.  It has 10 different texture/color options, and 4 bag versions that allows you to wear the bag on your hand, arm, chest or back.

The remaining items that I am featuring in today’s post is the egret, which is by TLC and it’s available at the Spoonful of Sugar festival that I mentioned in my last post benefits the Doctors without Borders/Medicins Sans Frontieres. Visit the website for more information.  The cherry trees in the background are the latest new release by Little Branch at On9, which are four seasons that can be accessed via the menu.  The pink and green bushes along the lit pathway are also by Little Branch and available at The Chapter Four event.

Lots more to come as I try to catch up again.

Featuring a new release by [Schultz Bros.], which is this skybox that is available now at this new round of Cosmopolitan.  It’s copy/mod with only a 7 land impact and its approximately 15 x 11m.  Great if you are limited in prim and need something small. I’ve included a collage picture below of how it looks unfurnished.

The skybox is furnished with some new and old stuff.  The bed, ottomans, clock and mirror along with the nightstand are items by Bee Designs and it’s from their French Rose gacha.  It was from a previous event, but you should be able to find it at the store.  The stuffed sheep near the stairs are also by Bee Designs, and are from this round of Lost & Found, but it ends tonight, so they should be available at the store.  They are the cutest things and make great decor for anywhere in the house.

Here’s a close up of the dogs. The adult wanderer I’ve shown previously in a post and it’s the reward dog when you hit the JIAN machine at the Arcade 25 times.  The family bed is a common and its texture change for both the dogs and the bed. It’s also only 1 land impact.

Happy shopping!

The American Countryside

There’s a bit of excitement in the air as the month draws to a close when the doors will open for the next round of the Arcade.  The gallery is now up, but I’ve not really had a chance to sit and go through it just yet.  Though what I’ve seen so far in the blogs and flickr it’s another great round of amazing stuff starting with another set that I’m showing today by Hive.

008ps

The American Countryside gacha is just fantastic. There are 17 commons and 2 rares, which are the barn and the shed and the reward for hitting the machine 25 times is the fence kit that has a secondary color option on touch.  The two rares have a texture change option — for the barn: the bottom front panel and for the shed: the side displaying a faded american flag.

009ps

So many wonderful pieces to use as a single unit or as a complete set to decor your own homes.

Have a great Saturday!

Piglet farm

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, Landscaping2 Comments

Scults 027PS-33

When I first saw the barn, windmill and sprinkler items from [Schultz Bro.], there was no thought on how I would show them until I laid them out and thought of what animals to use in the picture. It just happened that this past Friday, a friend who lives in Tennessee, was transporting a pig she saved from the slaughter house to one of these facilities where they take care of pigs.

That’s how my piglet farm came to be. She doesn’t run a farm, but she has several acres and has a love of animals and was telling me that she needed to invest in a larger barn if she took in anymore animals. She already owns horses, birds, dogs and cats and no telling what else.

Now to what I am featuring today.  Schultz Bros. has put together another fantastic realistic set of items that will be released at the upcoming round of Cosmopolitan that begins on August 15th.  These items are not sold together as a set, they will be available individually. The homestead barn is realistically textured and detailed and it only has a land impact of 29 and the separate barn light is 1.  The old windmill has a land impact of 10 and has female and male and unisex animations.  The rusted sprinkler shown is the larger of all four pieces in this set of sprinklers.  The land impact ranges from 2 to 13, which is shown here only partially.

Everything is 100% mesh with copy and mod permission.  Truly fantastic pieces if you have a love of old stuff and the country life style.

Have a great Sunday!

Piglets on the loose

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home2 Comments

Jian 002

When I was setting out the pigs for this picture it made me think of the words piggly wiggly, which comes from another childhood memory.  It’s a name of a grocery store primarily located in the southeastern part of the US.

How can you forget a store that had a smiling little pig as part of their logo and it be the first thing you would spot when you got near the store.  It makes me smile as I recall those trips to the store with my parents and siblings.

Just look at those faces!

These are just a few of the barnyard buddies that JIAN has created for this round of the Gacha Garden.  The whole set is 25 altogether, which is 22 commons and 3 rares and has piglets, rams and ponies as well as a hay feeder, water trough, hay bales and wheel barrow.

The expressions on the faces of the animals just make you laugh and sure to bring you lots of amusement.

So go check them out!

Details on the gacha set are below the credits.
