Hello Fab Free-rs, hope you’re having a lovely week so far. If you’re like me and live in an area where the hellish heat of summer is in full swing with August being one of the hottest months of the year, you’re looking for a way to relax and keep cool. A picnic might be just the thing for some time out-doors while relaxing in the shade. This round of The Candy Factory is perfect, with Picnic being the August theme. The best part about a picnic in Second Life, no insects! So keep cool, lay out in the grass, enjoy some good company, and have a picnic! Co*Motion is celebrating the theme this round with some brightly colored mix and match tanks and jeans, as well as some matching nail polish. In addition you can pick up some platform heels by Dondi’s Doodads in fun fruity patterns. Finally, Lyr’s Boutique has some very cute picnic mats in several colors and varieties, all with animations (not shown) and fun extras.
So, the april round of the candy factory begins April 1st. This round’s theme is “water”, and it’s a gatcha round! Here’s a sample of what the designers have to offer!
Zoe’s garden has a lovely set of materials-enabled dance fountains for you to collect this round! On the left is the RARE, rose couple’s dance fountain (23 land impact), and on the right is the blue tile dance fountain (10 land impact), which is a common. I tried to get both of these in the same photo, but they are so large that it just wasn’t possible in the small space I’m using! There are 5 of these to collect, and the gatcha is $L35 to play!
Their second gatcha contains tulips in watering cans! These are super cute, and would be perfect on a patio, in a home, or even decorating a shop! There are 5 to collect, and the gatcha is just $L15 per play
Dondi’s doodads has a nautical living room set as one of their 2 gatcha sets this round. There are 8 pieces to collect, and the gatcha is $L50 to play. Here I have the ULTRA-RARE couch (11 land impact), 2 UNCOMMON book shelves (13 land impact each), and a common coffee table (4 land impact). Try not to get too “nauti”, on the couch, which includes multiple sits, couples animations, and even adult animations. The super cute “Apple of my eye” wall art is NOT a Candy factory item! These come from Frogstar and are a FREE prize in the apple of my eye hunt, which starts tomorrow!
Sour pickles‘ first gatcha contains a beautiful set of flowers and plants in pots of various types. The gatcha is $L30 per play and there are 21 items to collect. 2 items are ULTRA-RARE, 2 are RARE, and the rest are common. Here I have the ULTRA-RARE Hydrangea (1 land impact) on the left, the common tall yucca (2 land impact) in the center, and the common purple heart plant (3 land impact) on the right. Holding up the lovely plants are the equally lovely Torcello end tables by Frogstar. These tables are for the home show, which starts April 1st as well, and are $L50 each, or $L250 for the 8 colour fatpack.
The second gatcha from Sour pickles contains a ton of pieces to build your own pirate dock! Here I’m showing a small crate, a lantern, and the pirate ship (RARE). There are 11 pieces in the set, and the gatcha is $L35 to play
Toxic High has 2 clothing-packed gatchas in various shades of blue. Each pack includes appliers for breasts as well as booties! Gatcha 1 contains 4 full outfits, and is $L40 to play.

1 of 2 gatchas from sugar & cyanide contains cute wellies! I am such a sucker for wellies! There are 11 pairs, 2 of which are RARE, and the gatcha is $L50 to play. These two pairs are the common black and red.
The second of these gatchas contains seahorse huggables! There are 9 seahorsies for you to snuggle (1 rare), and the gatcha is $L50 to play. The two I have here are pink and yellow, and are both commons.
Ez’s has some fun watery appliers for your meshy parts in their gatchas! Their first gatcha contains slink nail appliers in 20 styles. The gatcha is $L20 to play. From left to right, I’m showing off French waves – DS, which is a RARE, Sea fade #1, and storm.
Their other gatcha contains super sexy loud mouth lippie appliers. There are 10 lovely lippies for you to try out, and each play of the gatcha is $L20. I have on Atlantis (RARE), lagoon, and lake.
LooLoo has 2 gatchas this round, one stocked full of soft, light, sun dresses, 4 of which I’m showing here! The gatcha has 7 dresses, one of which is rare. I’m wearing, from left to right, rainbow (RARE), strawberry, grape, and lime. Each play is $L50
