Musical session on a hot summer night

unkindness 005-33

Indie Teepee is back with a midsummer nights theme. If you are not familiar with this event, check out their website for more information. I’ve included the link below the credits, but taken from their site, it’s a place that “brings people together through their love of song and art – breaking down barriers and providing a haven for music genres like indie, alternative, rock, electronic dance music and hiphop.”

There is shopping as well!

Today I am featuring items by unkindness at the event.  The in tuned benches come in two version, with or without a blanket and include single m/f animations and couple ones as well.  There are four colors to choose from.

I’m also featuring the star fairy hanging by 7mad:Ravens, which is currently available at The Project Se7en event.  It’s been ongoing since June 30th and ends at the end of the month.  There are other sets available at the event as well.

Have a great Friday!

Make it a celebration everyday

017-2

The bears coming to the Arcade this round by BoOgErS are the cutest things. They each have a certain theme or holiday spirit to them.  As I was looking at them all I found myself drawn to this Cinco De Mayo bear, because of my ancestral heritage.   This is not the actual size as I supersized it and when I did the poses sort of then materialized for this picture.

Who says we can’t celebrate early right?

The southwestern home in the background is by Glas Houses called the Granelda is available at the Home & Garden Expo.  It is truly remarkable how much choices we have when it comes homes and decor and creating the home life we may only dream about.  For some it’s just creating something entirely different to what you may be used to… really the choice is yours.   The Granelda is quite roomy with large rooms and it has two fireplaces throughout the house.

The Expo is open until March 6th and just announced a Photo Contest!

I Heart You by Finishing Touches

Finishing Touches

I’m taking a short work break to post this second post.  I sort of took advantage of another sleepless night to take a few pictures of some of the items that are going to be available at the upcoming “Perfect 10” event. You could say that is one of the nice things about having a home in Second Life is being able to switch out furniture as much as you like.

Finishing Touches is another creator participating in the Perfect 10 event that will start on February 1st and run through the 15th. This living set will be here just in time for you to get your home decorated for Valentines Day.  It certainly helps set the romantic mood with all the hearts and I love the box of chocolates that comes as part of the decor. I have always enjoyed a lot of the items at Finishing Touches.  Especially, many of their Christmas items from a couples years back that I still treasure and use today, even if slightly higher in prim if compared to what is coming out now.

I am also showing two other items by creators also participating in the event.  The heart ottoman by Tylar’s Treasures that on touch pops up the menu to allow you to change the texture of the top and bottom.  The other item is the rose taper candle by Lunar Seasonal Designs that on touch also produces a menu that will give you options to change the metal and color of the roses.

See credits below for all the items that I mentioned above and shown on the picture.

In honor of Mexican Independence Day…

005

Today is Mexican Independence Day and I couldn’t go without honoring this holiday in some way. While it is something thought of and often acknowledged on this day, it’s not typically a holiday that many American born Mexican families in the USA celebrate.  That doesn’t mean we’re not proud of our heritage.  Most of us have a great appreciation for our Mexican culture and the homeland of our ancestors.  If anything we definitely enjoy our Mexican food.

Viva Mexico!!

The touch of a child

I couldn’t resist doing this last picture and thanking my in-world English sister who stepped in to help.
