I’m heading to the bowling alley! It’s time to do some bowling type things, which I assume involves some form of rolling of a ball down a narrow strip of floor. Or maybe it’s just about eating deep fried foods and wearing weird shoes. Whatever it is, I’m down!
Wrapped
In continuing with the grand tradition of me wearing inappropriate attire to sporting events (or whatever this is classified as), I’ve got on a very precarious and fashionable dress from Byrne. It’s giving me kinda deconstructed Hervé Léger vibes, and I’m loving it. To get yours (plus a version in white too!) just have your FabFree tag active when you head over to Byrne, and click on their gift for FabFree at Fifteen! Yes ma’am, it’s free! You’ve got until August 6th to grab it!

I also happened by Vanilla Bae this week and found they had a new group gift out that makes any outfit just a little more special – these leg chains will just add a little bit of sparkle and fun to your look. To get them, join the Vanilla Bae group for 50L and then click on the sign in the middle of the store. There are few other group gifts at Vanilla Bae to grab while you’re at it.

Please forgive me for pretending to not know about bowling. I find it more funny than I should. 😉

A HUGE sale I might add, and it ends tonight! So hurry hurry over there before then because every single piece is on sale for only L$50 and fatpacks are L$125! Annnd they have loads of group gifts, so I decided to show you some from both. I love that The Annex offers lots of cute, well made, modest clothing. That can be hard to find in SL these days. Let’s get started!
First up is this pretty little white top and denim skirt. I added the necklace as well that I bought on sale. The top is a FREE group gift fatpack and comes in 12 colors. The denim skirt is part of the sale and I bought the fatpack, which has 7 colors. Both fit Freya, Hourglass and Maitreya bodies. The choker is part of the sale and is unrigged. It includes a color change HUD.
In the center we have one of my most favorite outfits I bought. The top has flamingos on it! It is part of the sale. The shorts are as well and both fit the same bodies: Freya, Hourglass and Maitreya.
The last photo is just cozy. Its a comfy pair of capris that are a FREE group gift and come in a fatpack of 10 colors. The slouchy tunic/dress is on the sale. Both fit the same bodies as above: Freya, Hourglass and Maitreya.
You still want more?
The beautiful little dress on the left I bought in the sale. You need to go and check out all the color/print options as there are so many it was hard to choose what I wanted. This dress fits….you guessed it: Freya, Hourglass and Maitreya.
Next we have my favorite to in the whole world! I would so wear this in RL. Just look at those long luscious sleeves. I bought it on sale in 2 colors. I got the skirt on sale too in two colors. Both fit Freya, Hourglass and Maitreya.
Finally, I had to show this funny sleep-shirt. It is also a FREE group gift and comes in a fatpack of 8 colors. It as well fits: Freya, Hourglass and Maitreya.
Alright! Chop chop! Get over to The Annex before the sale is up tonight! And don’t miss the loads of group gifts.

Well, I’ve finally taken a break from the FabFree anniversary posts, but I imagine it will be a short one. I had to get a word (or many words) in about what is going on at Raindale this month. This is a long one, so grab a tea and come sit.
What’s up?
Raindale released information to their group members earlier this month that there’s going to be a lot of changes happening in their store. Due to unfortunate circumstances and political issues that I will not go into detail about here, the creator has not been able to withdraw funds from their SL account to real life. While the designer was able to make a living off creating products in SL previously, this is no longer possible due to this issue. As a result, Keira Raindale has decided to scale down their store and turn their business into more of a hobby. The store is not closing, but at least half of the products at the store are retiring. Raindale is going to transition their store to focus on creative projects and “fantasy and whimsical items” in the future. The creator described this transition as “more of a fresh start, as it will benefit everyone, with more gifts, affordable products and charity projects”. If you would like more information, you can find a detailed notecard about the store’s transition in the Raindale group notices.
Please try to support this creator in any way you can. There may not be much we can do, but we can show our support and let Raindale know how much we appreciate their beautiful creations. Right now, Raindale has a number of awesome things going on which you can go do to show support for the creator and I’ll walk you through them now.
Retirement Sale
Raindale is having the biggest sale in their history until August 6th. All products are discounted 20% off in the store and retiring items are reduced up to 50% off. In August, the store will close for renovations after the retirement sale is over. This is what Raindale states about the sale in the group notices:
“Over half of the products will be gone soon! The outlet will be gone too – get those old products while you can! Since SL is now just a hobby, I’m getting rid of most of the “modern” and older items, and going to focus on fantasy and whimsical stuff in the future. The store will be closed for renovation in August! Some retired products may return in some shape or form, but it’s not guaranteed! And some unmarked products may be gone too, so get anything you need till the sale is over!”
So stock up while you can, because a lot of these items will be gone for good very soon!
You can show Raindale support by joining their group. Group members of the Raindale group will receive 250L store credits until the end of July. The VIP group currently costs 250L to join, but it is so worth the join fee, and you will see why as I show you all the great things you could buy with the store credits and the wonderful gifts they have available at the shop. Raindale group members also receive 15% back from their purchases in store credit.
Get it Before It’s Gone
In the decor scene shown at the top of my post, I am showcasing an amazing house that can be purchased with the 250L store credit at the retirement sale. The beautiful “Gracewoods Teahouse” is the building in the centre. This was previously from the Gracewoods gacha, and it was a “rare” item. The house now costs 160L on the retirement sale for the copy version, leaving you with some additional credit to spend at the store. You can find the teahouse in the Raindale Outlet. The Outlet will be closing when this huge sale is over in August, so this is your last chance to get items like this and anything else in the Outlet. Any items marked with a “Final Sale” tag at the Raindale mainstore are also retiring and may not re-appear ever again. If you want them, now is your time!
Wanderlust Weekend
The pretty water fountain shown in my picture at the top is Raindale‘s current offering for Wanderlust Weekend. You can get 3 colours of this fountain -white, pink and mint- for only 50L on the sale for a limited time. The fountains come with sound on or off versions and the sounds are very relaxing. This has been out for a couple weeks, so grab it while you can at an amazing price!
There is also a huge wall of past group gifts out for Raindale group members. I have added some of those group gifts into my teahouse and garden scene, including:
The canopy tent with pillows, which you can see next to the house on the grass.
The grasses with fairy lights are a group gift. Inside the package, two sets of grasses are included. This was a past hunt prize but it’s now up on the group gift wall.
The ladder with lights, which is resting against the side of the house, is another group gift.
The room divider inside the teahouse is from a past holiday gift.
The table spread with tea cups, cakes, macarons, candles and flowers, which I placed inside the teahouse, are still available for Raindale group members. This entire set comes from the package called “5th Anniversary Gifts”, a past group gift at the store. I thought the tea set matched the teahouse theme perfectly! ☕
June Group Gift
The June group gift at Raindale for VIP members is an exclusive summer collection available for a limited time, which you can see in my photo below. It’s amazing. The collection includes the octopus pouf, the beach ball, the coconut cocktail, the stool, the torches, the swim ring, and the board. 5 signs, including this “Summer Time” one are included. This set is so cute! This collection will not be available after the gift is gone and it is an exclusive made only for Raindale group members. This gift will be available until the end of July. The creator was so kind that she kept it out an extra month longer.
Finally, don’t forget that Raindale is also participating in FabFree at Fifteen the items they have available for the event are absolutely amazing as well. Aline blogged all of those free gifts and promotions earlier this month HERE. Make sure you check out Aline’s post, see all the good deals available, and show your support for the store!
Thanks for reading.
