Painting is silent poetry…

..and poetry is painting that speaks ~ Plutarch

Morning! Not much time today to spare and my system has gone crazy on me this morning and I fear rebooting and then not being able to post before I take off.  So wishing you all a fantastic day!

Sweet rest

This picture not planned  is what ultimately turned out to be my day. One of just relaxation after a somewhat busy weekend. I rested and read a book and did very little else other than a quick trip to the grocery store. I don’t do this very often in second life, so it’s only right that I take advantage in my real life. I know you all agree.

I’m showing items from two events today and a couple of creators that I blog for. Most of what I’m wearing.. the skin, eyes, hair, tattoo and top are all from designers at On9.

The Moroccan decor is by [ETNIA], which is the black dresser, bronze wall art and photo frames available at Cosmopolitan. The foliage chandelier is by unKindness and you can find it at their main store.  Then most of the remaining decor are items by Nerenzo at Cosmopolitan as well.

Far from home, but closer than ever

It’s a lovely Tuesday morning, despite it being 81°F outdoors and if you add the humidity on top of that it’s pretty uncomfortable for someone who isn’t used to the heat. I’m used to it. Preferably indoors with air condition and a refreshing drink. That reminds me that I have a mango to slice into later on.

Today I’m showing fashion from two events that opened up in the last days, On9 and The Liaison Collaborative.  Both great events that have a mixture of fashion, decor and poses and lots more, so make sure to go check them out.

Have a fabulous Tuesday!

Nothing says home like the smell of baking

ionic-005ps1

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.

Happy Friday!

Today I am doing a fashion post showing heels/boot style shoes, which is the latest release by N-Core.  They are available at Uber in 16 options or all in a fatpack and mesh body compatible.

I’m also wearing the Helen jewelry set by Zibska, which is available at Retro Rewind.  The set is comprised of necklace and earrings and comes with a texture change hud for the beads.  In the background I’m also showing some of the newest trees by Little Branch. The umbrella thorn is at Cosmopolitan and the wild maple is at SaNaRae and both are 4 seasons.

Enjoy the rest of your day and wishes for a fabulous weekend ahead.

Tomorrow the newest round of On9 begins and besides fashion there is always a few home and garden stuff at this event.  I’m showing a couple items today that you can find. The first is the industrial tray by Decor Junction, it has a magazine, vase and two steaming cups of coffee to get your morning started or to finish off your evening.

The other item is the white apothecary cabinet by New Church.  It’s also available in 4 other wood colors and stands at about 2m tall.  It can be resized, though you’re cautioned that it may affect this item’s land impact.  If you do resize, you need to make sure doors are set as closed, as they will reset to accommodate the new dimensions as you resize it.  It also allows you to link items together with the cabinet, helpful instructions are provided if you do this.

Last item being shown is the Livingstone sofa by Dad Designs, available at The Crossroads. It’s got a land impact of 13 and is available in both a pg and adult version. Both have an abundance of single, couple and family animations.

The Tribeca Loft

“There is a loftier ambition than merely to stand high in the world.  It is to stoop down and lift mankind a little higher.” ~ Henry Van Dyke

Dad Jian 014ps

It’s been a while since I’ve decorated to this extent, but I was in the mood to do it with this newly released loft by DaD Design at the Monsieur Chic, a new men’s high fashion shopping event that will also have some furniture.  The Tribeca loft is a limited edition item and only 100 of these will be sold, so grab yours quickly.  More information on the loft is below the credits and I have also included a photo collage of the loft itself.

Another item that is being featured today is the cream and brown armchairs by DaD Design as well.  They come in pg and adult versions and are just so inviting with some very nice sit, cuddle animations in the pg versions shown here and can fit both an indoor or an outdoor setting.  These are available now at the Monsieur Chic event as well.

The last items being featured are the curious cats by Jian.  Now you must understand that I am not a cat person in either world, so it’s kind of hard to call them adorable.  Though Jian does a great job in creating some cute animals for us to enjoy the experience of having pets in-world.  Apart from stationary cats there are wandering ones that walk freely and then clinging cats for those who want to carry them around.  These curious cats are available for the new round of The Gacha Garden.  I’m showcasing a couple of common ones, a few rares and also the seed of inspiration gift that is received after a player does 20 pulls on a single machine.  I’ve put the event website below the credits, if you want more information and want to learn how to play.

The rest of the items used are from past events and a considerable amount of them are gachas.
