Hello there Fab Free’rs! I hope everyone who celebrated Thanksgiving enjoyed the holiday, and that everyone is having a great week. I was visiting relatives for a few days and while it was a nice visit, I’m genuinely happy to be home. I’ve missed being here; I always do when I have to be away for very long. Now, to the good stuff!
There are just a few weeks left in the fall season, I for one have been enjoying the cooler days and the gorgeous autumn colors. Petite Mort recently set out an adorable set of cropped sweaters perfect for fall as a group gift. One sweater is brown with a cute fox graphic, while the other (pictured above) is a lighter shade of brown with an equally cute owl graphic. I love the extra long sleeves, and the slight cowl neck. Both sweaters come in several mesh sizes. At this time the Petite Mort group is just 75 linden to join. There are also group lucky boards at Petite Mort waiting to be played.
Update! These have been moved to the JellyRoll main-store and added to the discount section. I have been told by the creator that they are set to the same price, but that you must be a member of the JellyRoll group and must wear your group tag to get them. Thank you to the readers who pointed out that they were no longer available at the Cart Wash Sale! A new item will be set out at the Cart Wash!

The spirits of ladies on lakes and fairies wander freely… the moon shines and though you know you should be afraid… you can’t help but feel enchanted instead. And it all begins with a few pumpkins left out for the picking by the Fantasy Creator’s Showcase Event at the Rising Phoenix Sim…
“All the ancient classic fairy tales have always been scary and dark.” – Helena Bonham Carter
And the Creator’s Showcase Hunt got this idea just right with their fantastic gifts. There are 13 pumpkins hidden on the sim — actually they are all out in plain sight. Some of the stores have one pumpkin at their stalls. A few of them have two. All of them are easy to see and you just buy the contents for FREE. A trick not a treat!
In the picture above Astrid is wearing the Autumn Fae costume (complete with wings) by BlueMoon Enterprises. This Creator Showcase Hunt Pumpkin Gift is FREEand includes the full outfit in all the standard mesh sizes plus the gorgeous wings you see in the picture.
I also wanted to show you this fabulous Halloween Cat Mask by Chimeric Arts & Fashion which seemed to fit the Autumn Fae Costume just perfectly. This too was another FREEHunt Pumpkin Gift at the Creator Showcase event.
Just behind Astrid and at her feet you can see the Creator’s Show Case Hunt Gift from United InishCon *UI* called the Dirty Little Secret Log. It has great little butterflies that flit and fly above it as well as a terrific animation when you sit on it. Your avatar will look from side to side before crawling inside to hide in the log! Like all the other gifts, it too is absolutely FREE!
“As much as I’d like to meet the tooth fairy on an evening walk, I don’t really believe it can happen.” – Chris Van Alssburg
Of course… this is Second Life where anything can happen — (almost) — and look! There is a fairy and the lady of the lake both! As well as another chance for me to show off some amazing Hunt Gifts. If you look in Astrid’s right hand, you’ll see she is carrying the Creator’s Showcase HuntFREEHunt Gift from Souzou Eien by Draconias Timeless called Light of the Watch. This fantastically detailed lantern works with your AO just fine (or any pose) to let your avatar hold it with the supplied animation.
And since we are out on a walk meeting fairy tale figures… let me introduce you to the lady of the lake, courtesy of Folklorica! As their contribution to the Creator’s Showcase Hunt, their FREEgift is this stunning Glowing Lady on the Water gift. It includes the floating lily pads and pumpkins (which are animated and turn) and the glowing Lady of the lake who is scripted to appear and disappear during night time hours on the sim where it is rezzed. (Be sure the sim it is rezzed on has a night time setting. The lady will NOT appear during ‘day’ hours if the environment has a day setting. And the script is affected by region settings, not your personal windlight setting.)
“I am your fairy tale. Your dream. Your wishes and desires, and I am your thirst and your hunger and your food and your drink.” – Klaus Kinski
Last but not least, I wanted to share this fabulous Creator’s Showcase Hunt gift from Old World Designs. Just like all the other gifts, it is completely FREEand well worth picking up. The Spider Infested Crypt has a resting pose for one avatar and a ‘sit’ pose for another avatar (if someone wants to sit on it while someone else is resting inside O.o) and the spiders are affected by movement. In other words… they appear and scuttle and dash away everywhere — and make tons of creepy spider noises if you sit in the crypt, stand up out of it, or if you or someone else nearby moves around it much! It is simply a must have for any haunted decor or All Hallow’s Eve celebration!
Theres nothing I love more on a cool Fall day than to go prancing around in the leaves in the forest.. the sound of them crackling under foot, the rustle as you kick a little pile of them and watch them floating around.. the musty smell of wet wood and foliage and the sight of the crisp sunlight streaming through the gaps in the trees..
The new Group Gift @ Foppish is perfect for these long walks. Teamed with the snuggley warm thick tights that I sneaked from the Halloween Freebie Outfit from G Field, I can just about get away with going topless underneath the jacket.. well.. if I get too cold, I’ll zip it up? Right?
Though since shaving my head I really should invest in a new hat…
Mrohs Baxton has very generously set out a new Dollarbie at Edge Designs. It is a gorgeous Autumnal outfit complete with a yummy russet coloured off the shoulder sweater, a pair of jeans and a lovely snuggly jacket. It really does make you want to go walking through a forest, kicking piles of leaves about!

Well, as the sign said, you have to hunt for 50 pumpkins scattered all over Island Depot. They are not too hard to find but it´s a large sim, and you have to look everywhere! To join the group (there are some pumpkins only available for group members) just touch the group inviter next the hunt sign. You will not get fashion! But very pretty stuff for gardening and decorating your home. And – of course – some nice things for Halloween.

Big thank you to Jungeun Vella, designer and owner of JE*Republic, for dropping me her adorable “Halloween Costume Full Set”. It`s sweetness in completeness! Well, I have to mention it´s not a freebie but a bargain/lowbie/cheapie. For 10 Linden you get pants and top on 2 layers, skirt, hat, boots, bows, a pumpkin, an animated glowstick and a glowstick without animation. It´s worth to spend 10 Linden, in my opinion! Look at the pics below, and then it´s up to you if you want to own this cute “Halloween Costume Full Set” . Head over to JE*Republic`s store and click the sign on the easel. “Ka Ching” – it´s yours, and you will be the cutest witch queen all over the grid 😉
The “Lovely Witch Broom” is an amazing freebie by Little Heaven. It comes with 10 different animations”. Funny thing 🙂 You find it (along with other free items as shirts, smile attachement and so on) into a big dumpster next to your landingpoint. Wear it … and fly up and away 🙂
InsideLittle Heaven`s store you will find 4 Lucky Chairs giving away wonderful hair as well as 2 item camp chairs. Hmmm … item camp chairs are … uhm … like an electric chair. You have to sit down for 20 min – a hood dryer above your head – to receive “Special hair Phine milk tea” I´m wearing in the pics. And you will shake a lot while sitting there … sooo if you are faint hearted like me, don´t sit down, `k? 🙂 But the hair is really pretty! Pics below are taken at Little Heaven.
The next pics are taken at a place I really love, and I´ve already posted before: Sway`s Creations. Take a look around, there are new releases and beautiful, autumn-like spots to relax. Nothing for free? Hmmm, let´s see … wonna be a big, bright-orange colored, funny pumpkin? Then you have to join “Sway`s Creations group” (look at Sway Dench`s profile, and join the group for free). Activate your group tag and click the gift box next the haybails to receive “Sway`s Big Pumpkin” as a gift. Wear it, and toddle around a bit :-)) Oh, and you can wear both – the pumpkin and the broom – at the same time, too. Flying pumpkin with looong nose :-))
