I wasn’t really planning to do a second post today, though I had a very productive weekend of doing scenes and taking photos. It just makes sense to get them out of the way earlier.

This picture has a mixture of items from events and sponsors, so make sure you take a look below for all the details.

Have a great one!

Hello everyone. I’m doing a second post today to finish up at least another post for The Season’s Story and a few sponsors. This will be my last post for a few weeks as I need to take care of a health issue that I’ve been dealing with for several months now. I won’t go into specific details, but it entails me taking a blogging break from now to the second week in February. At least I hope it’s that short of a time frame, but either way I’ll be back to continue.

In the meantime I wish you all well and hope to see you all again soon!

Some people stay in your thoughts forever

Happy Black Friday! One of the biggest sales event days of the year. I stopped doing that kind of craziness a few years ago. It was more the thrill of going out with my sisters then catching any real savings and usually it was to grab some new popular toy or game for the kids in our family. Now those kids are all grown and our desire has waned as Black Friday has really been distorted and moved more to Thursday than the actual Friday. Though if you enjoy it.. have fun and keep safe!

It’s also great we can catch some savings here in Second Life with Black Friday sales going on. Though it’s also the perfect time to get to some ongoing events while everyone is trying to get into busy sims. Today I am featuring the new Hanover Barn by Galland Homes that is available at the Draftsman Event. It’s a good size barn with an approximate footprint of 17 meters wide by 23 meters deep. The creator of Galland Homes writes that the barn is indicative of the large timber and stone farms found through his home state of Pennsylvania. It’s 100% mesh with a land impact of 72 and a snow add on that is available as well.

The other home decor being featured is the odres by Sweet Kajira, which are wine skins made of leather, usually goat, that are used to contain liquids like wine or oil. These here are available at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival. I’m also showing the tree stump with reclining raccoon by JIAN available at the main store. It’s animated and season change texture too. The fence I’m leaning against is by Pixel Mode and at The Liaison Collaborative. It’s available as a non animated version or pg and adult as well. The trees are by Little Branch, with the Red Bradford {trees on left and right} at Shiny Shabby and the Maple Wood {tree in middle} at the Ultra Event.

Lastly, I’m am showing a new hair release by Wasabi Pills that is available at The Forest Event. Previously you could only grab this hair if you paid the membership on a monthly basis to grab all the gifts. That has changed and now you can purchase items individually. I encourage you to go to The Forest web page to read more on this exciting change. The boots are from Fame Femme and are at The Liaison Collaborative. You can find these in eight color options and each include a hud to change the color of the socks.

Have a fabulous day and start of the weekend!

The American Countryside

On August 27, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, Hunts, LandscapingLeave a comment

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.

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.

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

Have a great Saturday!

Room 144

On November 15, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, HuntsLeave a comment

This residence might look familiar to you as I’ve posted a similar one in the past, except this is the super sized version for those of us who need more space. Room 144 is by The [Den.], and is released at the 6th Republic. It’s pretty roomy as you can see. The size is 27x 33 x7m and has a land impact of 83, and is materials ready so best experienced under the advanced lighting.

If you would still like to enjoy a little of the Fall decor before jumping into the Christmas season or at least until Thanksgiving is over. Then here are a few items from ongoing November hunts that you might enjoy that end November 3oth.

Even the dog got a treat!

Another day at home

The Perfect 10 Event is back with a new round on November 5th. I’m showing a preview of a few things you can find at this event. Dreamland Designs has a living room set that includes a cuddle and a lovers couch. I guess you can pretty much make out that the lovers couch has adult animations. There is also a chair that is included in the set, along with the rug, table and book tray.

The other set by this same designer is the fireplace with a few decor items including the antique clock that is not attached.

Even though my inventory groans every time I add more stuff to it. I still glance from time to time at hunts that have home decor. Plus I like showing items that can be found at a reasonable price, especially if you’re on a tight budget and still want to have some new items to refresh your home. The plaid pumpkins under the fireplace are from this cute shop I discovered a while back called The Artist Shed. The pumpkins are a sponsor gift, so visit the hunt web site as it will show you where these can be found. The birdcage is a full perm item from Surge for the Antique Grid Show Autumn Hunt. I’m using the version already textured. The fabric texture on the walls are from Clutter and is also an item for the Antique Grid Show hunt. These decor items cost from 1 to 10 lindens and keep in mind they are October hunts, so they will be ending soon.
