092722 - Harmony Hunts September - 01

Harmony Hunts is running again this month and I have some unique little decor pieces to share with you from 4 Doves and Splintered Creations. As always, each hunt item is only L$10 each, so you can get some really cute things for super cheap. Hop on over to the Harmony Hunt Office to begin the hunt!

092722 - Harmony Hunts September - 02

  • This floating lantern is one of the items from 4 Doves. It is a total of 8 Li and hovers up and down over the ground. The little purple tree in it is so beautiful too! The lantern hanging in the tree can be turned on and off by touching.
  • The lattice potter is also from 4 Doves and is 5 Li. I love climbing vines like this one has.

  • A little bird is using the bottom of this teacup planter to get a drink of water. You can plant anything you’d like on the inside! This is the 3rd item from 4 Doves and is 3 Li.

092722 - Harmony Hunts September - 04

  • This final item is from Splintered creations and it is a beautiful little fall wreath ready to decorate your home for the season. It is 19 Li and so bright and cheerful!

Until next time!

Grotesque

Grotesque

Much like the macabre, though a little less romantic, grotesques have been part of art and architecture for centuries. It’s a theme I’ve always romanticized myself, that concept of finding beauty in that which would otherwise be called ugly. Now, before I get too melancholy in my musings I’ve got some pretties to share with you, one of which is this face tattoo by Nar Mattaru that reads “Grotesque” under my right eye. Alongside my finds at Nar Mattaru, I picked up some group gifts from rotten, and torment via Harajuku. Keep reading and I’ll give you all the what and how of things.

Nar Mattaru

Nar Mattaru has a handful of 10 linden offers in the same spot as their group gifts. These 10 linden finds do not require a group tag to purchase. I picked up the face tattoo that says “Grotesque” under the right eye, and has an almost cute little fly under the left eye. The tattoo comes in BOM layers, and an Omega applier with fresh, normal, and faded options.

Also at Nar Mattaru is this smudgy black eye makeup. This eye shadow look is called the “Effortless Smoky Eye” it too is just 10 linden. The grunge-rock princess part of my personality just couldn’t pass this one up. This eye-makeup comes in a BOM layer, and an Omega applier.

rotten

I am kind of in love with this lip gloss from rotten. It’s their current group gift, and the group is free to join. I love when I come across amazing makeup finds. Makeup is my favorite way to customize my look without changing my skin. This free lippie set by rotten includes 6 color choices, each with 4 style/opacity variations. In the package you’ll get BOM layers only. Technically these lip colors were made to be worn on Genus heads, but I think they look fantastic on my Catwa head.

torment

If you head over to the Harajuku event you can pick up these gorgeous earrings for free from torment. They are waiting at the torment booth at the Harajuku event. You will need to be wearing the torment group tag. The torment group is free to join. Then while wearing your torment group tag, click the “gift” sign at torment’s spot at Harajuku. These lovelies come in a black/gold version (shown) and a silver/gold version.

Nostalgia

Nostalgic

Have you ever been nostalgic for something? Like the smell of an old bookstore or the sights and sounds of a record store. It’d be great to be able to just snap your finger and be instantly transported into a record store straight outta the movies. Like Championship Vinyl from High Fidelity, Trax from Pretty in Pink, Polymer Records from This is Spinal Tap, Motormouth Maybelle’s in Hairspray, Chelsea Drugstore from A Clockwork Orange, or Empire Records of Empire Records. I think it would be awesome to visit Trax. When I grab the Men Only Hunt gift from Ascend and saw the way the Rick Open button Blazer looked. It gave me them Duckie vibes.

I came up with a Duckie inspired outfit, decked out a record store in 80’s vibes, and put on some Otis Redding. Before you know it I was singing
“All you got to do is, man, hold her when you wanna
Squeeze her, don’t tease her, never leave her
Get to her, got, got, got to try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah
You got to know how to love her, man
Don’t be surprised, man
You got to squeeze her, don’t tease her, never leave
You got to hold her, brother, something, man
Try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah, yeah”
and dancing around just like Duckie. You better dance your way over to Ascend and grab this Rick blazer soon. You only have eight more days before the Men Only Hunt ends. You’ll be looking for a PS controller and this hunt gift will set you back 10L. Pardon me while I dust off my vinyl and get back to dancing and listening to some tunes.

Hello Summer!

Summer Bright

Hello Fab Free and hello summer! The Women Only Hunt 6 started yesterday and while I haven’t picked up all the gifts quite yet, I did pick up all the WOH6 gifts at Crystal Store. Yes, I said all the gifts. Crystal Store has 6 total hunt gifts that are 10 lindens each. For this hunt you’ll be searching for a bright yellow sun with a smiley face on it. The Women Only Hunt lasts from now until June 30th. I’ve added a copy of the hunt prize key from Crystal Store so you can get a better look at each of the prizes.

There’s nothing quite like crisp white fabric in summer, and I love this cute head-to-toe look from Crystal Store. The full set includes the top, skirt with belt, shoes, sunglasses, headphones, and ice cream cone (not shown in my photo). The sunglasses, and headphones can be sized via touch menu, and the ice cream has a bento hold pose. The skirt, top, and shoes are sized for Maitreya and Belleza bodies only. Happy Hunting!

The Last Supper

The Last Supper

“Oh Storax Tree! Oh Strax Tree! The Fab Free gift and kitty cats are lovey!” – sang to the tune of “Oh Christmas Tree.”

Happy weekend Fab Free! Sometimes the freebies and cheapies you find are worth singing about, you know? It also helps that the Strax Tree name really lends itself well to Christmas carols. haha That said, I did pick up the Fabulously Free in SL group gift, and one of the 10 linden items from The Cart Sale by Storax Tree. Keep reading for more details.

Fab Free Group Gift

First, this fantastic green loveseat is the free group gift for Fabulously Free in SL group members at Storax Tree. This gift is no mod, no transfer, but it is copy so you can rez multiple. It also has resize scripts, and several animated sits, some of which have props. The accent pillow also changes texture when clicked. To get this free gift just head to Storax Tree and click the gift vendor while wearing your Fab Free group tag. Need a Fab Free group tag? Not to worry, there’s a group joiner at Storax Tree and the group is free to join.

The Cart Sale     

Storax Tree has lots of seriously discounted goodies at The Cart Sale. I could not resist picking up the pair of cats shown in my photo. Titled “Feline Autumn Meeting” these cats are just 10 linden and include a patch of grass and pebbles so they settle nicely into an outdoor or otherwise rustic setting. They can also be purchased in several colors/fur patterns. Like the furniture, these little guys have resize scripts too. Don’t miss out on these, for just 10 linden at The Cart Sale they are too cute to pass up.

It Was Just a Daydream


Just a Daydream

I sometimes have a habit of daydreaming, especially if I am near a window with even a somewhat interesting view. I don’t see it as a negative thing. Still, I’ll admit I sometimes find myself daydreaming when I should be doing other things. Today however, I have plenty to keep me busy. It’s Cart Sale time once again, and here at Fab Free that spells bargain hunting!

I’ve already browsed through the rows of carts at The Wash sim and no matter what your looking for, you just might find it. I picked up this cute little shorts and halter top set by Kuid for just 10 linden. The set comes with a hud for the top with several patterns and a few graphic choices, and a hud for the shorts to match them to the shirt. I think the back of the top is the best part of the whole outfit. This set comes in the following sizes: Maitreya Lara, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus). To get yours, head to the Kuid Cart at The Cart Sale.

Come Away With Me


Come Away With Me

Hello Fab Free! Summer is creeping very near, and this girl needs a vacation. I’m ready to hop on a plane and fly just about anywhere. Who’s with me?! Before I fly away aboard an airplane to anywhere, I want to share this cute and seriously inexpensive outfit I picked up at Petry Model Store. There’s nothing like a cute new outfit. New clothes make already fun things seem extra fun. The dress and shoes are both group gifts for 2 different groups, and both are at the Petry Model Store main location. You’ll find them waiting, along with quite a few others, just inside the entrance and to the left.

The Dress – This cute tube dress by Petry Model Store is equal parts sexy and casual. How that’s possible, I’m not sure, but it works. The dress is a free group gift for the Mesh Body Friends group. The Mesh Body Friends group is free to join. This gift comes in a few sizes and in the mauve pink color shown.

Sizes Included: Slink Physique, Belleza (Venus, Isis, Freya), TMP, Maitreya Lara

They are free for the AUG group members. The AUG group is just 10 linden to join. These strappy shoes come with a color change hud that has quite a few color choices. Not only do they match the dress for the Mesh Body Friends group, they also happen to match the Fab Free group gift!

Spring Hedge Witch

Hi There Fab Free! Did you see the gorgeous photo and post Love made about the Spring Hedge Witch Hunt by Petite Mort and Oubliette happening at Witchwood?! Clink here to check it out. Of course I couldn’t resist sharing a few more of the 10 linden hunt prizes with you.

So like a good little hedge witch, Pru went out gathering flowers and counting bunnies along with her faithful familiar. As Love pointed out, you will need to be in the Petite Mort & Oubliette group to participate, however the group is free to join. Then all you need to do is search the beautiful grounds of Witchwood while wearing your group tag and find the 6 hidden bunnies.  This boho skirt and the matching ruffled hi-lo sweater are both 10 linden hunt prizes just waiting to be found.
