Hello hello Fab Free’rs! I have another Fabulous designer to share with you today. This time I have the joy of telling you all about Sweet Willows. Sweet Willows is a small but cute shop that caters to both child and adult female avatars. Most of the clothing is casual daywear and sleepwear. There is a small section of toddler and baby clothing, and even a small number of costumes for roleplay, costume parties, or cosplay. I also spotted some very cute adult footie pajamas! The above photo is the main desk. There you can click the little sign being held by the cute corgi to join the Sweet Willows store group. There are also 3 free gifts waiting next to the dancing Storm Trooper. No group tag is required.
To the left of the presents is where you can find the free gift by Sweet Willows for Fabulously Free in SL group members. The Fab Free group is free to join if you’re not already a member. Also, if you’re interested, you can look to the right of the desk and see the Sweet Willows store associated groups and events. Happy Shopping Fab Free!
Ok, funny story. Here I was, doing a little decorating at my home to take pictures for this post, putting out some Christmasy stuff, when I decided that I didn’t like one of the items I had put out. So, I selected it and deleted it. Oops! It was actually my home that I had selected, and suddenly poof, no more church! What is even more funny, the actual building belonged to my Mom, so it is no simple thing to just pull it out of my inventory and put it back down, I have to wait for her to actually log into SL to put it back out for me. So now my post has turned into a Christmasy ‘waiting’ post. LOL
Lucky for me, I can almost forget that I am homeless for the moment, as I do not have to sit in the snow, I have a decorative element to make my wait pretty, and, one of my KittyCatS decided to hang around (while the rest immediately took off, enjoying their new-found, ‘no-wall’ freedom). The lovely ottoman I have, to keep me out of the snow, and the beautiful wreath behind me (easel not included), are both items available from the Park Place booth at the Wash Cart sale, which just so happened to have officially started today, and of course are each L$10. The choices of poses in the Red Poinsettia Ottoman, both for females, and males, are all really great, and I love the simplicity of the Holiday Ornament Wreath. You have until Jan 6th to visit the Park Place booth, for these, and other lovely decor items, as well as some pretty, mesh, crop sweaters.
Speaking of sweaters…I love the idea of the ‘Ugly Christmas Sweater’ party, and that was what I was actually decorating for in the first place. Well, maybe not a party, as it would have only been me and my cats, but…any excuse to wear an ugly Christmas sweater is ok in my books. How nice of high.v to have put out a gacha at this round of fi*Friday, just full of ugly Christmas sweaters! I got the perfect one for me, it says ‘I want to believe Santa is out there’, which all you fellow sci-fi/alien nerds know, is a riff on X-Files and the “I Want to Believe” UFO poster that Mulder has. For only L$55 a play, choose the machine you want to play, male, female or TD Kids and Baby. and then you will get 1 mesh sweater, that comes in all of the standard sizes. Even though I forgot to grab a shot of the ad showing every one available, believe me, they are all cute. In fact…they really aren’t ugly at all. I’m not sure if this machine will stick around for the next round, so just in case, you better make your way down to fi*Friday before Friday, or you may miss out.
OK, before I say goodnight, my kitty, Cinder, reminded me that I never did officially introduce her. Cinder is my newest furbaby, and she is the 5th Anniversary Firestorm KittyCat, The FireFlurry. Like past firestorm kittys, you do not need food for them to survive. While the Firestorm anniversary was a little while ago, you can still get your own FireFlurry at the KittyCatS mainstore, for free, 1 per av.
OK, now that I’ve appeased Cinder’s vanity, I better go see if my Mom has forgotten about my current homeless situation, and give her a call. I hope you all have a wonderful evening, and don’t forget to lock your houses in place! LOL. Until next time, TTFN 🙂

Did I scare you? I’m sorry if I did. Honestly, I am just trying to un-scare myself, and what better way to do that then to scare all of you Fabbies. You see, I decided to go trick-or-treating early, and ended up falling through a trap door in the woods, into a maze-like dungeon that I barely escaped, only to stumble out into a graveyard…where it was raining! I know right. The things you go through to get a little candy, but they told me the house giving away the biggest chocolate bar was in there. Luckily for me, and for you bargain lovers, I had put my costume together with a great freebie, and cheapie, and looked great while all of this was going on.
First of all, I know you are eyeing up my cute dress and tights. Those of you familiar with G Field, know that every Halloween, there is always a fun outfit put out as a free gift, and my skeleton bib dress and matching tights are what you can get this year. The dress is mesh, in the standard sizes, and also comes with flat chested versions. The tights are on system layers, as well as having an applier hud included for SLink and Maitreya. If you are in the G Field subscribo group, you probably already have this in your inventory, however, if you aren’t, or your IM’s capped (like mine did) you can head over to the store, and there is a nice little display with this gift, for free, for everyone, as well as past Halloween outfits, also still free.
Wanting to add a little more red to my almost monotone costume, I lucked out while wandering around the The Nightmare Event, when I found the Alice Project’s booth. They have gory Halloween versions of 5 of their hairs. For a small L$50, you will get a limited 5 colour pack of your choice of these now blood-soaked Halloween Massacre versions. I went with the sweet ponitailed Kumi, totally turned creepy with the blood. If blood is not what you are looking for, they do have the nice clean versions of all of the same hairs there for you too, set at their usual price. But come on…how can you say no to blood soaked hair in October! LOL.
Now, I did mention that before my scary ordeal, I had started out trick-or-treating. The cute candy bucket I am holding, as well as the handy flashlight, are both free gifts from this years Havenhollow set up. It’s a fun little neighbourhood for kids and adults of all ages where you can go door to door and if you are lucky, the kind residents will give you candy, and this year, it is actually hosted on an LEA sim, which is Linden Endowment for the Arts (hooray for that). Just beware of the cute, costumed, little girl by the entrance to the woods, she is the one to give you the flashlight so you can venture into the darkness, and then you know what happens…trap door, dungeon…yeah…scare fest! As this is an all ages sim, the candy bucket and flashlight both come in multiple sizes, so they should fit most hands. This build only sticks around for the Halloween season, and then it will be gone for another year. So set your windlight to region default, turn up your sounds, and explore!
OK, I think I have managed to come down from my scare, the candy from trick-or-treating has helped, I won’t lie. LOL. So that is it for me for now, but you know I will be back, I can’t stay away from all of you…or the great freebies and deals. So, until the next time, TTFN!
PS: I just wanted to personally say, thank you to all of the FabFree family who made it known that they wanted FabFree to stick around by showing all of us so much love. I love being able to share the fun of bargain hunting with all of you, and was so excited when the decision was made to keep the FabFree blog open. Here’s to many more years of freebies and deals in SL!

Here is a short post to let you know about a cute store I discovered here the other day. The store is called Kawaii Couture, and it is filled with these cute babydoll dresses, shoes and wonderful avatar accessories that resemble sweets of all kinds. Many items in the store are as inexpensive as 10 to 25L. This store is an awesome place for the young avatar, or especially the young at heart.
The FabFree Designer of the day is Vogue (check it out here) but when I saw their current group gift…I didn’t think of “strike a pose” or a runway ready look for the cover of the magazine. The nerd in me spoke up and said “Vogue group gift…I chose you!” 😛 Since I was addicted to them in middle school, I am totally unashamed to say that I thought of the cutest little yellow Pokémon, but a more anthropomorphic version.
You can pick up this awesome mesh dress from Vogueand their group is free to join!
My rosy Chu cheeks come from Chus! They are a freebie and you can change the color easily through the edit and texture window.
My ears and tail come from this kid’s freebie on the Soken Kid Meshmarketplace store. It comes with a whole cute little outfit for kids plus the ears, tail, a pokéball and an adorable Pikachu gesture!
Now, I’m really a Vulpix or Ponyta kind of gal, but don’t you think I make a great Pikaclar?
to you fabulous readers from the USA! If you are not from the USA…happy Thursday, Friday or whatever it is where you are! Happy day to you! There, that should cover it. 🙂
I have some fantastic freebies and cheapies for you to endulge yourself with, after you finish your watermelon, BBQ, and fireworks…enjoy!

The Finding FabFree hunt began a few days ago. I’ve been exhausted and haven’t been able to devote time to blogging the hunt yet and all the other FabFree writers are waiting on me. *sorry* Hopefully these pictures make up for it! We’ve decided to showcase the hunt in sections. Here are the first 20 Fabulous gifts!!!
2- Hell Bop Clothing – Quincy jersey top, Albert Gym Shorts, & Tube Socks
It’s that time of year once again for the Taste of SL hunt. This hunt is relatively easy to do in one setting. The starting point is at Alexohol Fashions Mainstore. If you get stuck see the hint page on the Taste of SL blog. The Taste of SL 2nd Birthday Hunt began June 15th and continues until July 15th.
Yesterday I told you a little about the C.D.T. 1st Anniversary event. There are gifts on every booth. Everything shown is from the C.D.T. event and most are from the lucky boards. The lucky boards change FAST so you should be able to win everything quickly. I did not put direct landmarks because it’s really easy to cam and see everything. M*Motion is offering the purple knit cardigan, mini skirt, and solid long sleeve shirt in their lucky barrel. The navy Engineer boots are from the !1mm lucky board. The red Itsuka hair is in the evergreen luckyboard. The light Bara skin from BCC. works nice for teens and children. The Usuzumi eyes are one of the many dollarbies on the *.amato.* booth.
The green mini party dress is in the +NK+ lucky board and the Spring Dot clutch purse is in the *MiuMin* board.
