The Wise Tree

I was walking along the path when I started to see this grand tree rise before me. As I neared I could tell it was an old tree that has seen a lot of the world grow and change around it. Someone had been here recently and had left behind some fruit under the shelter. The bear was sleeping on th…

Beach House

What a wonderful place this beach house was to hang out at for lunch. We had a delightful time between the sun and surf outside and the great hippy vibe on the inside. I love summer and all the wonderful colors it brings with it. Adorably Strange Wares has a new collection out at The Boardwalk …

The Ruins

Fat Bird released the Owl Guardian Ruins at this round of Boardwalk . I was looking over the notes she in closed to bloggers and her vision was to use it as a backdrop. I found the biggest ball gown I could find which happens to be a new release from Sascha's Designs called Enchanted in powder…

Lazy Afternoon

We decided to stay inside the loft this afternoon and play some of our favorite board games. We will see who the victor is at the end of the day. With the sun streaming in it was a great lazy afternoon. Today I am showing you a bunch of new items from this round of Boardwalk . I love this event a…

Cat's Corner

This is where my Mesh Cats from Image Essentials like to hang out. I joke that it's Cat's Corner. They lay about and soak up all the sun. It is very relaxing and I even have some spiked lemonade by Simply Shelby out for those to enjoy. The Lemon Espalier tree that they come from is fro…

Beach Day

Yay for beach days!! I love the ocean and going to the beach even though we only do it about once a year. When I need a good beach fix I just rez one Second Life Style. I don't think tropical decor ever goes out of season in SL. Xantes just put out this beach sofa with landform. It is wel…

Secret Hot Springs

I really love the creations from Camp Steelhead after I picked up the floating dock from the Home and Garden Expo this year. They just released the Rocky Mountain Hot Springs. While I used it in a tropical theme I will explain the meaning behind the creation. The designer states, "In the …

Classy

I really adore the Riley Jeans Outfit from DE Boutique that is at the current round of Designer Showcase. It has a great color HUD with lots of options. I decided to use a dark color on the hud and pair it with the newly released Mainstree shoes by Heels . These shoes come in three colors black,…

Summer Pool

A new round of Boardwalk opens tomorrow, July 15th. As the leading bi-monthly home and garden event on the grid I am so excited to see what the designers have in store for us this round. I noticed the line up of designers has been shaken up. We have our old fan favorites and a few new ones. Simpl…

Relaxing In Second Life

Today in the real world I lugged both my little ones to the pool on my bike and back. They enjoyed it, but it was more work than anything for me. So this evening I found a sizzling hot trikini called Seduction by Virtual Diva that is at this round of Designer Showcase . I choose a dynamite music…

Farmhouse Mornings

In the mornings we head down stairs in the bunk house to the coffee room. Here we can have coffee or tea while we wake up and chat. It's always a great day when you smell bacon wafting in from the main house before we head out for our farming tasks for the day. Our Farmhouse Corner set is by …

Lavender Fields

I took a lovely stroll through lavender fields this morning. The sky was overcast, but the sun still managed to peek through in some spots. It created the perfectly cool mid morning temperature. I am also starting to use a variety of skins in my looks. Events I blog for offer them as well as t…

Into The Night

Sometime in the night deep in the forest she emerges. She is a beauty and a lovely sight at that. Her eyes glow green and her wings shimmer in the moonlight. She is skittish around new comers, but welcomes old friends. Will you be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of this rare beauty? Are you bo…

Hobbit House

Syndicate Sunday is back with an all new round of 50% off items from now until July 14th. Today I have a hobbit house called Burrow Den by Candle and Cauldron . It has the ability to change seasons with a 20x20 foot print and 20/25 prim impact. The lovely Waterton swing with flower planters is by…

I Know A Secret

I know a secret, but I won't say. It is just between him and I. Oh if you only knew this juicy piece of gossip that I hold dear. Today I am wearing the Gigi II body suit by Suki . My lips that are sealed and gloss on my nails that is holding my secret dear is the Hibiscus nail polish and lip…

Forbidden Fruit

I was wondering off away from the group into the jungle when I stumbled into a papaya grove. I had overheard some of the guides talking about the grove earlier that morning and that it might be the cursed grove. How could I tell if this was true if I did not wander into the grove to see for mysel…
