I don’t know if you’re a reader or not; me, I read an entire novel almost every week.  In a sense, it does the same thing for me that SL does… it allows me to escape into a different world (just in a more socially acceptable and flexible way lol).  But whether a casual or rabid reader, you might have dreamed of literally escaping into the pages of a book; it’s certainly figured into a myriad of fantasy books and films and even tv shows.  This amazing piece of decor takes that dream to the next level.  Available in two sizes, Book View (shown) and Life Size.  It’s literally an open book, where the left hand page has a poem; the right hand side has the story “come alive” as it were, in stunningly realistic 3D because it’s made from miniaturized SL items (see the pic below).   The Book View  is way bigger than a normal book size… the items even cast shadows (depending on your lighting and settings of course)!  The detail is amazing, even more so in the life size view where you can totally put yourself in the picture since the chairs have built-in animations.  The owl is animated too!  This is definitely the chance to do more than put yourself in the picture… you can put yourself right in the book!  Talk about immersion!!!  Go check it out… it’s EXCLUSIVELY available at the Second Life Home & Garden Expo, open just a few more days through March 20th.  You can TP directly to the vendors in their booth HERE.  Absolutely amazing in person!!!

My View – Nature Takes Back, book view.  Also available in Life Size, with built-in animations.  Both sizes are 100% RFL contribution items to help fund the fight against cancer!  (Note that other books are also available, so you can even choose to build a small library!)

To quote a saying, true beauty can’t be seen in the mirror, but that doesn’t mean that we still shouldn’t try to look our best.  As a blogger, how I look is especially important (not quite the same thing as being a model IRL, but still lol).  And what is more key to looking good than our approach to beauty… and to me, that includes the styling of our innermost sanctum, where we do our beauty prep before facing the world!  Here’s a teeny glimpse into mine…  Happy shopping!!!!

Tirrany Designs – Gilded Vanity.  Although probably designed with more of a fantasy setting in mind, there was no way I was letting Thea get her hands on this beauty!  Every girl deserves a bit of that gilded quality in her life, & where better to have it than while doing her beauty routine!?!  The styling of this piece works in EVERY setting!!! The vanity does texture change on touch, & includes both Single & Duo Cuddle animations.  (For easy attachment of items in the vanity, just add the Avpos Experience to your land.)  The set also includes the tray of vanity accessories & the Antique Mirror & Brush, for which I’ve included a close up below of these two items.  (Please note that I added a bit more clutter to the right side of the vanity since I’m definitely not the neatest person on the grid lol!) The entire set is a 100% RFL contribution item at the SL Home & Garden Expo, open through March 20th.  You can TP direct to their booth HERE.

Spring Up – Plant Stand Set package.  I featured this in an earlier post (which you can see HERE), but am finding that these add the perfect touch everywhere throughout my house! Available with so much more at the SL Home & Garden Expo, this package includes 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..  You can TP direct to their booth HERE.
