Seeing Beauty in Every Fallen Leaf

http://Seeing Beauty in Every Fallen Leaf

And today is the LAST day of workmen on the house, the very last! Well, at least that we know of… I guess once we have a new buyer and there’s another inspection there might be one or two new things that come up, though at this point I think we’ll go the “give credit for” route rather than the “do the work” one.  I’m just so ready to go… with so much packed, the house is feeling less and less like the home I’ve lived in for so long, and it’s getting so chilly my bones ache! Only a few weeks to go no matter what, since there’s really no reason to stay for the final parts of selling our house.  We’re even talking about my going ahead by myself and starting to set things up (like internet access!) while my husband stays behind to do the final emptying out.  It seems most efficient, but the thought of driving that far by myself, with two cats and a cage of parakeets in a hotel room two nights in a row, seems rather daunting. (My husband would take the dog in his car.)  I will say that it’s soooo much easier to move with cats here in SL… you just put them in inventory, and then take them out when you arrive.  And no crying! I will also say that I although I’ve always loved autumn, knowing that it’s my last has made this one rather special. Every fallen leaf, every chill in the air, has special meaning. I do hope it’s a fabulous show this year, with as much color as it is here on the grid!!!! Enjoy!

  • Outfit:  Key Style – Valeria.  Yes, the outfit includes the jacket, jeans & shoes, but the absolute star of the show is this jacket!  I have found my casual go-to for the season, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this jacket.  Sized for Slink HG/P, Belleza F/I, & Maitreya, it’s the combination of the artfully arranged raised hood with the plunging but oh so casual neckline that creates the most marvelous style.  And I should mention that a whole range of hair styles worked well for me under the hood, which I find can be a problem with a lot of head coverings (maybe because I have a big head lol).  Looks oh so comfy too, & it’s available EXCLUSIVELY at the 09/20 Girls Heaven event, open Sept 20th – Oct 14th.  Demo available.
  • PhotoBox:  Midnyte Creations – Woodland Autumn Photobox.  This amazing creation is not just a fabulous backdrop, it’s a PhotoBox.  That means that once you enter, the open side “closes” behind you, so no matter what way you turn or angle you shoot at, there’s background & not open space that you have to figure out what to do with.  And what a background!!! See below for a shot of the entire autumn scene, complete with a fallen log & happy little creatures like the squirrel watching me! Sold as either the box only, or with 16 bento poses built in (I used the pose version & one of its poses; the swirling leaves rez around you with each pose but are moveable to create the exact shot you want).  Both versions are EXCLUSIVE at the 09/20 Girls Heaven event, open Sept 20th – Oct 14th.
