I figured since morning will come too quick here in a few hours and I will be a bit cranky after only a bit of hours of sleep that I might as well post this now and get it out of the way.
I’m showcasing Ionic’s new gacha at The Chapter Four event called the Spirit Gacha. It’s got some cute artistic items as well as other adorable decor items that are all detailed below. The one thing that I want to point out is that I heavily modded the curtains, so the actual version is just two panels and not four as shown.
Have a great Friday!!

Just a day away before the Skin Fair 2017 opens the doors to what you will find is an amazing array of skins, mesh heads, shapes, makeup and tattoos for both females and male.
Today I am showcasing LeLutka’s newest mesh bento head Cate, which I am using with my own shape and some modification. The skin that I picked to wear with it is from the League and called Amaia. It was made for the Simone mesh head, but also fits other heads as well. I’m wearing the suntan version, but it’s also available in 6 other tones that range from pale to dark. I am also wearing one of the satin lipsticks also by the League, the midtones. You can find these plus some gloss lipsticks at the event.
The up-do hair style I am wearing is by Iconic, a new main store release that you will find in a range of colors. I especially like the wisps of hair that just give it a sense of realism and adds that bit of depth to make the hair come alive for me.
The gorgeous Moon Shine Nails are by Astralia, and are currently at Shiny Shabby. These are made to fit the bento hands by Vista. The last item is the dress by Sahara, which is available at the Darkness Monthly Event.
More previews on the skin fair in the coming days!

There was a time that I really enjoyed baking and did a lot of it as I always loved having some coffee dessert on hand for family and friends when they visited, even though I didn’t drink coffee myself. I still enjoy it even if I bake mostly for a holiday or a special occasion these days. When I moved it was an opportunity to go through the the collection of baking pans, measurement cup sets, gadgets and tools that I acquired over the years. I downsized considerably.
It’s no different here in Second Life, where I’ve collected a lot of kitchen ware over the years. I’m just not ready to downsize here just yet. It’s all this wonderful realistic pieces of home goods, baking ware and gadgets that makes our kitchens come to life. I’m not disappointed with the newest releases by Ionic and Serenity Style. I mixed both with some old gacha favorites to put this kitchen scene together. There’s just too many pieces to reference, but all items used are mentioned below.
I’m also featuring a new hair release by eXxEsS called Citron, which is a long hair style even if you can’t see the back. It includes the new “Breeze” technology that animates the hair and a texture HUD that has 56-single tone hair colors. The lovely dress with a lace pattern is from Noche and it’s available in several colors at The Liaison Collaborative. Make sure to go check out this event, it’s one of the best for home, garden, fashion and a whole lot more.
Anyways, thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day, night or whatever it is for you right now.

I absolutely love this “Once Upon a Time – Vintage School” gacha set, a newly released set by THOR for this month’s round of Chapter Four. Everything pictured minus the attic building and some stack of books are part of the set. There is a total of 45 items with 18 mini-sets, 3 rare and 1 reward. The rares are the table, chair and the blackboard and they all have animations. My favorite piece is actually the spinning top toy as I have one of these in real life that my eldest sister gave me, because she knows I have a love for old stuff.
The rustic attic is by Pixel Mode and it is another great decor item at this round of The Liaison Collaborative and was just perfect for creating this school setting. It has a land impact of 18 and it has a texture change floor that can be accessed by clicking the door. Makes for a great one room home as well.
I’m also featuring the items that I am wearing. The hair is a relatively new release by enVOGUE called Giovanna and it’s available at the main store. The dress is another find at the Liaison Collaborative and it’s by Entice and available in several colors. The Oyster heels/boot type combo are by Empire and are currently at Uber. I can never say enough that I love the concept of paying a slightly higher price for a 12-color Hud that you get when you purchase a pair of shoes from this maker. Plus the ability to mix and match on the different sections of the shoe.
Last item is the pose used, which is part of the “With My Baby” series from K&S Poses. It’s actually a modded version, as the original has the child facing you as you have your hands extended towards him or her. I just didn’t want to be the whole center of attention in this picture so I just un-linked them and turned her around.
I also want to thank my sister PB for helping me out with this picture.

I mentioned in my last post that I had decorated a whole cottage with all Christmas decor. It was mainly to relax and get my mind off other things and also because I didn’t want to leave things unpacked without at least looking at them even if I didn’t get around to using. Today I thought to show it with several photos, plus it helps to have a visual for any future use.
For the most part they are items received as Christmas Gifts at ongoing events, advents, hunts, group or subscriber gifts. I will list the sources below under credits, though not individually as it would take a lot of time of which I don’t have.
I hope everyone is enjoying the spirit of the holidays. Also, unrelated to this post. I forgot to mention in my “Tidings of Comfort & Joy”blog post on Wednesday, the free Christmas gift by eXxEsS. The hair shown in that post with Christmas baubles on each side is this year’s holiday gift. You can take a peek here and find it the main store.
A few things to note. All the gifts by the La Galleria are for being a subscriber and most of them should still be available if you sign up at the landing point and click the history to grab the weekly note cards to see where the gifts are located.
The gifts at the arcade if you didn’t notice were under the huge Christmas tree right in the middle of the arcade.
Unfortunately, the Chapter Four event is over and you missed out if you didn’t grab them before the event was over. Most of the events and hunts listed are over at the end of the month. The advent gifts for this year’s KittyCatS are all still available just by clicking each day. The gifts at Midwinter Fair are available without needing group space at the event until December 31st. Plus make sure you check out all the other wonderful stuff at the event as it has some great home and garden as well as great fashion too though it’s more fantasy related.
There is quite a few pieces by [CIRCA], which are part of their Holiday Advent Tree. You do have to join a free group in-world and items cost from $1-$75 lindens and some at $0 lindens. Each day items are added and kept circulating for 3 days. I didn’t receive these items until a few days ago so this is short notice as I mentioned in my post yesterday, but the gifts from days 8-24 will still be available starting tomorrow as the advent tree for those days will be opened again.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and if you want to know about anything specifically pictured, feel free to ask me.
Happy Friday!! I’m back again after spending a day or two doing some photos on my other blog. My Flickr sidebar gives you a view of some of those photos as I still maintain only one Flickr for both blogs.
Today I’m showcasing items from a few events and one creator that I consistently blog for, which is Bee Designs. They’ve been really hard at work making some festive stuff for this holiday season. I’m showing their items from their Winter Moments Gacha that is available at this round of Liaison Collaborative. The rare being the cabin and the commons the decor items that are scattered inside and some outside. I had fun putting all this together as I was really drawn to the simple triangle shaped cabin.
The garlands are gacha items by ChicChica at the upcoming round of Tres Chic that starts tomorrow. The theme is Holiday Magic so stay tuned for some more amazing holiday stuff coming to the grid. The Morin Khuur display is by Zansibar cretionsZ, for this round of Genre, who also has a theme and it’s anything Mongolia. The Morin Khuur known also as a horsehead fiddle is considered one of the traditional bowed string instruments in the Mongolian culture. There is a playable version in the set as well.
Other items used are the gifts near the coffee table, which are from +XAnSA+ at the Winter Solstice in the Mystic Realms. They are part of a bigger set, which are some holiday blimps, so go check them out.
Some of the outdoor landscape items that I’m using today are also from the Winter Solstice. The Tree with swing chair is by Sweet Revolutions and comes with poses for gals and guys and then smaller trees in the picture are by .AiShA. This picture doesn’t give them justice, because they are some wonderful flashing light trees. I featured them in one of my posts on my other blog, so if you want to take a better look at some lighted ones visit the event or take a peak at my “Lets rest a while the time is near” post.
That’s it for now… and if you want to hear some soothing lovely music I leave you with a Spring Waltz tune said to be by Chopin, though highly unlikely and from reading the comments section it’s not. It’s still lovely and was listening to it the whole time I was putting this post together.

One of the things that I knew would be different when I moved to the central part of the state of Florida, was that the weather would be much cooler come this time of year. It’s a welcome change even though it’s going to take some adjusting to and it means drinking more hot cocoa and tea.
Having a coziness outfit like this sweater and jeans combo from ArisAris/B&W is perfect for this kind of chilly weather. These are available at the current round of On9. You can also find these wrap bootie shoes that are from Garbaggio as well as the glasses from The Oak. The jewelry worn is by SPELL and it’s from their Gaya Gacha at The Chapter Four. I’m also showing the newest hairstyle by enVOGUE, called Mindy, which is available at the main store.
Today’s home decor is by a few creators. I’ll start with ancient yew globe, which is the rare item that’s part of the Gaya Gacha by SPELL at The Chapter Four. The windmill and all it’s furnishings are by [Schultz Bros.], and it’s just a few pieces of their Dam! Dollhouse Gacha at 6 Republic.
The oak book rack, commode and plant holder is from ChiC buildings and are available also at On9. The pose I’m using is from K&S Poses and it can be found at thier main store.
Have a good Tuesday!
