Paper.Sparrow just gave their store a facelift and it looks fab. They have a whole bunch of new designs and everything looks so stylish! They also have a few gifts out for their VIP group members and one freegift for everyone. The Paper.Sparrow group currently costs 150L to join. The VIP group gifts I am showing are:
The Mooh Claire Set, which includes a top, skirt, and panties in 3 patterns: black, white and mooh print. You can change each part of the set to the 3 textures to customize it. It fits Lara, Isis, Freya, Hourglass & Legacy.
The Year of the Rabbit canvas print is a newer group gift and it’s so cute! It put me in the mood for tea.
Finally, the Free Dove canvas print is a free gift for everyone to honor the life and memory of Palomma Casanova of Free Dove. It’s a really beautiful tribute!
Care For a Cuppa?
Speaking of tea, Noveny has this great pot and mugs set out as their latest group gift. Their group currently costs 30L to join. The set is technically a coffee pot with coffee mugs, but it could pass for tea for my little tea party scene. It’s super cute and elegant! I love that it is black- my favourite colour.
Ah, September… the month of new beginnings and a new school year is almost upon us. It’s the first day back to school over here where I live! Sometimes I wish I could just go back to school and re-live my college years. Sure, school sucks sometimes and it’s a lot of hard work… but I loved walking around the University quad with a coffee in hand, venturing off to my next lecture and absorbing my mind in the world of higher education. In all honesty, I didn’t have many responsibilities back then besides dedicating myself to learning more about the world. I just loved learning, reading, and discussing ideas, so being in College/University was one of the best times in my life!
…Fast Forward to November
I am an odd one for wanting to go back to school, huh? Well, I am also a bit strange when it comes to my opinions about the seasons of the year. Despite loving the summer months and the time I get off every year, I have a stronger fondness for the Fall. Once September starts, everything becomes a blur with how crazy school and work always becomes! I am sure you can relate. However, I just love fall; it always makes me feel warm inside. Bring on pumpkin season! I am definitely one of those people who waits for pumpkin-spice lattes and Halloween in August. This sweater and skirt outfit I have on in the photo below reminds me of the month of November because it has poppies on it and it looks warm and comfy. This is my type of clothing style! I always prefer fall and winter clothes in both RL and SL, and I simply love this outfit for its fall vibes.
Get to the point, Caroline!
Well, this has been a fun and poetic exploration of my views about life, higher learning, and the seasons. Now I have two amazing outfits, poses and shoes to show you in my post today, so let’s look at what I found to bring in the fall season!
Two Lovely Limited-Time Outfits
Ari-Pari is the clothing store I am featuring today, and they are currently in the middle of renovating their store. You will find the two gifts shown in my post today at the Ari-Pari Temporary Location, which is right HERE. Ariana was so kind that she left out a group gift and a hunt prize from last August a wee bit longer for us, so that no one would miss out. The two lovely outfits shown in my post today are available for a limited period of time at the Ari-Pari Temporary Location, a skybox that will be open until mid-September. They are only available for another week or two, so I suggest everyone go now to get them before these great gifts disappear for good.
First, the school uniform shown in the first picture is a 1L promo at the Ari- Pari Temporary Location. The outfit includes a hud with 10 colour options to change the colour of the skirt and necktie. The base of this school uniform outfit is white. This dollarbie promo was a hunt prize for last month’s Back to School Hunt (which has now ended), but Ari-Pari is keeping this little gem out to grab for a couple more weeks into September due to the store closure in August. Now it only costs 1L and no hunting is required- just look for the PROMO sign and pay the vendor 1L to get the outfit for cheap!
Sizes Included (School Uniform)
Lara
Freya
Isis
Hourglass
Secondly, the pretty poppy-patterned sweater and black skirt with a belt shown in the second photo is the August group gift for group members of the Ari-Pari group. This gift is available for a limited-time. Go get it at the Ari-Pari Temporary Location while it’s still available! Note that there is a group join fee of 25L, but new limited-time monthly group gifts are regularly released for Ari-Pari group members. This outfit includes a colour-change hud for the sweater and the belt, which you can change to 4 different colour and pattern options. The black skirt can be worn with gold or silver metal belt options.
Sizes Included (Poppy Outfit)
Freya
Lara
Hourglass
The Ari-Pari Temporary Location will be open until mid- September, and I expect these gifts will no longer be available after it closes so go ASAP to get these limited-time promos and gifts! There will be even more group gifts and goodies coming out later when the main store re-opens after renovations, so stay tuned for the upcoming store re-opening!
Two 5L deals from Pacagaia
I have a few more fab deals to share that make up the rest of my look in my welcome-to-fall post today.
The poses, coffee, and cell phone shown in both photos come from a great set of bento poses, which costs only 5L from Pacagaia on the Marketplace.
The great shoes are another item that only costs 5L from Pacagaia on the Marketplace. These shoes fit Belleza, Maitreya and Slink feet. These are a full fatpack, which includes a hud to change the colours of the shoe (the top and the base) to 25 different textures. They are fantastic! Shout out to FabFree reader Aurora for showing me these – I just love ’em. 🙂
Enjoy, FabFree!

Morning FabFree! Go grab a cup of coffee before reading this one! ☕ I have a whole bunch of home and decor freebies and sales to show you this morning, so you will need some caffeine to go shopping later!
This Girl Needs Coffee, Pronto!
I have been wanting to put a decor scene together to show off all the cute decor available for FabFree at Fifteen, so that’s what I’m showing today! The theme is one of my favourite things in the world- COFFEE! Coffee is my lifeblood. Time to get sipping and caffeinated!
The “Coffee Time” wall hanging is the free gift for FabFree group members at SLW Design.
On the coffee table, you can see the full-priced item from ati. The set includes coffee makers, reusable coffee cups, and two bags of medium and dark roast coffee beans. The set includes holdable coffee cups as well, and when you touch the rezzed ones, there are hold-drink bento animations on touch. This whole amazing set only costs 69 Lindens!
The texture used on the floor in my scene is from a set of textures !Stringerized! is giving FabFree group members for free.
Tea Person?
If you’re more of a tea person, FabFree at Fifteen has got you covered too! All of the art in my scene are items available at Katharine Littlepaws Art Gallery for the 15th birthday event, and they are all tea-themed! Caffeine is Caffeine, after all.
Their 15L item is the two artworks on the left with the teapot that says “tea and cake”, and the one that says “tea” with cute little teacups. The set is called, “Tea makes everything better”. So true! I do love a cuppa’; it’s so relaxing.
Their full-priced item is the “Welsh women drinking tea” collage, and it’s just whimsical! I love it. It costs 255 Lindens.
Their freegift is the vintage photo frame shown in the top left, to which you can add any photo inside it. I just popped in a patterned texture I had into it for now, but you could add photos of you, your family, and friends in it. It’s such a great gift, and the frame is gorgeous.
Don’t Forget Our Group Gifts!
Lastly, the current freeFabFree group gift from Noveny are the shelving units shown in my decor scene. These “pipe shelves” come in two colour versions: “Black Wood” and “Copper Black”. The shelving includes the decorations and the plants. This gift isn’t for FabFree at Fifteen, it is just one of our regular group gifts. For more gifts like this, visit theFabFree Group Groups Listingpage. Don’t forget about all the new group gifts available with everything else going on at FabFree this month! You don’t want to miss anything!
Thanks for reading, FabFree! It’s time to go start my Monday, now that I’ve had my big cup of Joe!

It’s that time again, time for some steamy hot chocolate (I’m one of those oddballs who doesn’t drink coffee), and it’s time for another Wicked Wednesday Sale! Woohoo!
Where Everybody Knows Your Name
I absolutely love going to the new cafe at the Mystic Dreamers Mall. It’s so cozy with the snow falling outside, and those little hammies always keeping the drinks fresh and super yummy (they bake too! The chocolate chip cookies are to die for!). It’s a great place to kick back a bit with friends and it’s one of those places you always feel welcome. Those little cafe keepers always know too when I’ve had one of *those days* and I need an extra kick in my cocoa! Ahhh, nothing like a bit of rum mixed in to make it extra warm and relaxing!
You know what is right across the courtyard from the cafe? Shanti! That’s where I picked up this absolutely adorable outfit for only 50L thanks to Wicked Wednesdays. You can find this Wicked Wednesday deal available from now until early Thursday. No group needed either! You might want to join the Wicked Wednesday Group though to get the ad each week, that way, you don’t miss anything! This dress fits:
Classic Fitmesh Sizes
Belleza
Maitreya
Slink
The boots come with it but are standard sizes. I made mine work with a little bit of alpha and they look super cute!
This deal is active now, but don’t wait too long, by Thursday the sale ends.
Maybe we will see you at the cafe! Stop by, grab a mug of something wonderful and spend some time by the cozy fire!

I am in need, desperately, for a coffee date with some of my closest gals. So I set up a cute little shot with some goodies to entice them to show up for a long overdue gab session! I’ve set the mood for relaxation and caffeination that will end up turning into a lovely long catchup session. We all need to have these dates back with our gals in real life soon. I’ve missed it so much, though I’ll never tell in real life 😉
The Goodies on the table are from a Group Gift from Andika comes with Coffee, Berry Ice Cream, and Fruit, the items are animated so you can put them out for your guests and they can eat/drink! Each item is 1 – 2 LI each. Not too shabby for these quality mesh items and they will last a lifetime for your housemates or guests. Have a coffee date with a gal pal, this will have you covered and will add a splash of class. The Andika group is currently 150L to join.

Hey Fab Free! In the spirit of pride, I am here today to show you some lovely pride-themed decor to accompany all the great pride fashion we have been showing off on the blog. The cute decor is brought to you by Fancy Decor, and I also threw in a free houseplant from Mithral on my coffee table.
Cake & Coffee Anyone?
Ah, cake and coffee… my favourite combination. I set out a spread of cake and coffee mugs on my coffee table, both which are free gifts from Fancy Decor. The first stop to getting the free pride mugs is at the Arcade. You can grab these for freeat the Fancy Decor booth at the event. The event is running until June 30th, so make sure you stop by there before then to get this offer.
In addition to these great pride freebies, I added this adorable little houseplant to my coffee table display. This plant is a free group gift at Mithral Apothecary. The gift includes a plant that can sit on a table, as shown here, and one where the plant hangs off the edge. This is a must-have for home owners!

Hi Fab Free’rs, I don’t know about you, but I think coffee or cocoa and doughnuts are a required part of study-time. I also think that comfort is paramount. I like to study in my pajamas, sitting in my bed, or a comfy chair, and have sweet eats at my immediate disposal. lol Poor Herman, haha, he likes to see how close he can get to the doughnuts without actually eating them. Though if I don’t keep an eye on him he’ll sneak one and run off with it! That said, I better drink this coffee before it gets cold!
For this late-night study session I picked up the Fab Free group gifts from Sweet Willows and Partners in Crime. I also snagged the School Days Lucky Letter Board prize at Tentacio, and the free Stay at Home Club gift at LovelySweet. Keep reading and I’ll tell you the how and where of each of these fabulous freebies.
Sweet Willows
I don’t care how old I get, I’ll never be too old for cute pajamas. This unicorn themed set is the free Fabulously Free in SL group gift by Sweet Willows. The Fab Free group is of course free to join. In this gift you’ll get the tank and matching panties with a texture change hud that has 6 prints, and 4 solids to choose from.
The adorably sweet coffee and doughnuts set is the Fabulously Free in SL group gift at Partners in Crime. As I mentioned before, the Fab Free group is free to join. The “Little Coffee Break” set is a decor item that can be resized manually. The objects can also be unlinked and rearranged. However, be sure to make a copy first just in case!
Tentacio
There are 4 Lucky Letter boards at Tentacio that do not require a group tag to participate. I picked up the “School Day” set for free from one of the Lucky Letter boards at Tentacio. This cute decor set includes the school uniform on a stand, which has a color change hud for the skirt and tie, an open school bag with books and pencils spilling out.
LovelySweet
Finally, the pose used along with the glasses, and book prop (the book in my photo is not the one included in the set) are from the free Stay at Home Club gift at LovelySweet. There are 4 total poses each with props in the “Introverting” bento pose set by LovelySweet. No need to join a group for this free gift.

Hello hello Fab Free! So the Spring Cart Sale at The Wash is in full bloom. Did you see what I did there? Punny right! I’m full of good humor today. No really, it’s been a great day, and I hope your day has been just as awesome. I’m about to make things a little more awesome by sharing with you a few fabulous finds at the afore mentioned Cart Sale. For this post I picked up an inexpensive item at the Kitty Creations Cart, and a couple of equally budget friendly items at Totally Random’s Cart.
Swings and Flowers and Things – I love when a product includes all the things. This Cart Sale find by Kitty Creations is just that, it includes the garden swing, the tree with twinkle lights, the garden shrubs, and the pretty spring flowers. Also, the garden swing is set up with solo his and hers poses, couples poses, and even a few sweet slow dances. You can get this garden set by Kitty Creations at their Spring Cart Sale Cart for just 25 linden.
But First Coffee – I’m one of those that can and often does drink coffee at any time of day. It’s not just a morning beverage in my world. I like the way it tastes, the way it smells, and even the sounds my coffee pot makes as it percolates. That said, when I saw these coffee themed clothing items at the Totally Random Cart, they had to be mine. The top is very cute, it ties under the arms which is a little detail that really makes the shirt. It comes in several sizes and is just 25 linden. Also at the Totally Random Cart are these cute matching chucks. They are unrigged mesh so you can resize them, which means just about anyone could wear these. The shoes are also 25 linden.

Hi hi Fab Free’rs! What do you do when it’s 3am and you can’t sleep? Get out the chocolate, make some coffee, and binge watch something on Netflix. That’s what I do anyway. I also might do a little hunting in Second Life. Just recently the Sweet & Sour Hunt began, and there are several great shops participating. The Sweet & Sour Hunt is a dollarbie (1 linden) hunt which will run through July 15th. I picked up a couple of the prizes and am excited to share two of them with you today.
All things considered this dollarbie Sweet & Sour Hunt prize from X.T.C. Poses couldn’t be more perfect for someone like me. Aptly named “Netflix n …Chocolate” this pose is one of two Sweet & Sour Hunt prizes at X.T.C. Poses. This pose includes the coffee and chocolate along with the static pose for just 1 linden. That’s a steal of a deal if you ask me!
Hint – F (shown) – Maybe I should phone a friend for help? / M (not shown) – Grab a soda, might help you think
Trashed is also participating in the dollarbie Sweet & Sour Hunt. Their hunt prize is this cute bandeau style mesh top. The dollarbie top from Trashed comes in a few sizes in the single blue/grey color shown. Mesh Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, eBody, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Standard Mesh (small, large)
