It’s so perfect that the Second Life Home & Garden Expo is happening now, at the first breath of spring.  I have washed all the snow away from my lands, and as I start re-landscaping and doing a spring “cleaning”, it’s absolutely the perfect time to get new ideas and fabulous new items for both my home and garden.  There’s just so much to see and do, and so much to buy!!! And don’t forget… this is a Relay for Life event, so every designer has at least one item where all the money is donated to this fabulous charity and its fight against cancer.  The Home & Garden Expo is open through March 20th… don’t miss this opportunity to spruce things up for the season and beyond!!! Happy shopping!!!

Nerenzo – Seychelles Couch Set.  EXCLUSIVELY available at the Second Life Home & Garden Expo.  You can TP direct to their booth HERE.

  • Couch  — Includes a texture changer with 9 choices for the pillows, plus 6 for the cushions.  Also includes animations for both single (F) & couples.  Available in both PG/Cuddle & Adult versions, with the PG version being a 100% RFL contribution item!
  • Chair  — Includes same texture changer as the couch, plus animations for single (F) & couples.  Available in both PG & Adult versions.
  • Table — Includes “touch-to-rez” up to 7 individual items (I’m showing 4).  One little detail I love is that the items can then be individually moved around if you prefer (& individually de-rezzed too).

Spring Up – Plant Packages, available with so much more at the SL Home & Garden Expo.  You can TP direct to their booth HERE.

  • Plant Pot Set Package – Includes 16 (!!) variations of tropical plants & flowers in a wood pot (I’ve shown my favorite — the hibiscus — in two different colors).   A fabulous feature is that the pots are texture driven, so you can change the frame, the sides, & the inside of the pot for the look you want!  A DIY model is also included for you to add your own plant or flower.
  • Plant Stand Set Package  — 16 hand picked mix of tropical plants and flowers on a plant stand, plus an empty DIY stand for you to add your own plant or flower.   The stand menu has 8 pot options & 3 metal options.

I don’t often do blog posts for weekend sales since my time for posting not a scheduled thing.  But every once in a while some special item just makes my wings beat faster, and I just feel that I have to drop everything, create a look, and share it with the world…  as you can see, this is one of those times!!!!   I LOVE LOVE LOVE this skin from Loa!  And it’s a real lesson too… she’s not made for my head, so yes, the look is a bit different (see the ad below) but it is GORGEOUS, really capturing my essence as a fae.   Not only that, she’s on special sale for THIS WEEKEND ONLY.  My suggestion is to do what I did… fly right over, grab a demo, and see how stunning she is for yourself!  Happy shopping!

The Garden

If you follow my blog, then you know that I always try to do my part to support various RFL (Relay for Life) events, and their fundraising efforts to help fight against cancer.  The Home and Garden Expo is the largest and longest-running event of its kind in Second Life. Home and Garden Expo prides itself on championing not only Relay For Life but the visitors, exhibitors, performers, and volunteers who make this event so successful.  HG Expo supports Relay For Life through fundraising in various forms throughout the event. Funds are raised through sponsorships, exhibitor fees, donation items, great entertainment offerings, The Wall of Hope, Decorating Contest, Finale Auction and much more.  The event runs from February 26th to March 20th, and represents not just an opportunity to see (and buy!!!) a wide range of fabulous creations for both your home and garden, but also to have fun and most importantly to shop for a cause.  I hope you’ll join me in fighting with your pocketbook linden-style while sprucing up your SL home  for spring!  All the details for activities at the expo can be found HERE.  Happy shopping!

Evolving Images – An incredible range of garden items to help you create the perfect outdoor space for your Second Life Home.  I’ve chosen five of my favorites, but that’s only a small part of what’s available at their booth in Hope 5 at the Second Life Home, Garden & Breedable Expo.

  • Adirondack Chairs – Set includes two chairs plus the matching table between.  All are texture change (5 choices!); the table has optional rez of accessories & drinks; & the chairs include 10 sits.  Every garden screams for Adirondacks!!!! 
  • Bird Bath Garden – Includes flickering candlelit lanterns, animated butterflies & the cutest animated squirrel! Both the Garden Stone (in front of the bird bath) & the Special People Stepping Stone (includes the squirrel, in front of the angel statue) are also sold separately.   This is such a highly detailed piece that I included a closeup below. 
  • Barrel Garden – Includes two versions, one bursting with pink, yellow & white flowers (shown behind chairs), & one ready for the gardener in you to tackle (shown left front).  This is a 100% RFL item!!!  I’ve shown the empty one in the 2nd closeup pic below!

Merusine of the Deep

I do love being a fae, with my horns and wings, but sometimes I love the challenge of transforming into some otherworldly creature.  It’s just so exciting  to become someone else, someone totally unique and different!  And let’s face it… isn’t that why we’re all here in Second Life to begin with?  Even fantasy folk enjoy that exploration into other parts of our imagination.  As a creature of air and land, this opportunity to become more one with the water world was one I just couldn’t resist (though I admittedly kept my wings lol).  There’s a whole event dedicated to this world of Atlantis… the creativity on display is simply astounding, whether you always role-play as a mer being or if you just want to dip your toes (or tail!) into the water, you really can’t go wrong with a trip under the sea!  Happy shopping!

  • Outfit:  Petrichor – Merusine.  Brand new, this pearl-entwined set is a combination of the artistic talents of Petrichor & Ersch, & that means one thing… both the detail & the creativity is simply magnificent; I can’t even describe the way the intricate lines on the fabric pick up some windlights (see the ads below).   100% custom rigged mesh, a HUD controls everything, from the fabric texture (40 choices!!) to the pearls (another 30 options!) to whether details are shown or hidden, so you can totally customize your look.  Sized for Legacy/Perky, Freya, Maitreya/Petite, & Reborn, Merusine can be purchased as a full set or as individual pieces (top & collar; sleeves; skirt & panty), EXCLUSIVELY at The Guild – Atlantis, open March 1st – 31st.  Demo available.
  • Fins:  Petrichor – Karkisse Fins.  Totally unique, these add on seamlessly to your ears & look like they really grew there!  Totally matches the look of Merusine!  100% custom mesh & textures, they are modify, resizable, & unisex with your choice of two HUD controls (fades or colors) offering 40 options for the membrane, 40 for the spines, 30 for the pearls, & 30 for the metals.  Materials enabled, there’s also transparency & glow control as well as a specular control add-on.  See the ad below for closeup. Amazing, truly amazing!!!  EXCLUSIVELY at The Guild – Atlantis, open March 1st – 31st.
