There’s something mystical and magical about a cemetery from my perspective. Perhaps it’s the palpable stillness, and the haunting quiet. Whatever it is, to me cemeteries feel like the kind of place where anything could happen. The often elegantly carved statues, headstones, and grave markers with their memorial inscriptions give a cemetery an almost romantic ambiance. My macabre fancies aside, I am excited to share some fabulous finds from Paper.Sparrow and Asura with you!
Paper.Sparrow
Did you know that Paper.Sparrow is participating in Spookzilla this year?! What’s Spookzilla you ask? Why a spook-tacular hunt with with prizes from tons of designers from all over the grid. Paper.Sparrow has 9 gifts hidden in the cutest little green ghost. Each gift is just 25 linden, all you have to do is find them! My witchy ruffled dress and batty earrings are both 25 linden prizes by Paper.Sparrow on the Spookzilla hunt. I’ve included a copy of the Paper.Sparrow hunt key below so you can peep all the creepy cute prizes.
My creepy kawaii look would be far from complete without a few of the group gifts from Asura. I love the colors in this tattoo by Asura. It comes in BOM layers and appliers. It also happens to be a free group gift at Asura. Another of the Asura group gifts is this ultra kawaii choker. The little stars are what makes this one for me. The “Counting Stars” choker group gift has resize scripts, and has a color change hud with tons of options for customizing the look so it can go with anything. Asura has a one time join fee of 99 linden.
Not all things Halloween have to be creepy or spooky. Haunting can also describe something beautiful. I think this fairy-creature-like doll is both creepy and cute, duality at its finest.
Gifting us some whimsy for this mystical magical season, COCO has this delicate looking jointed bunny girl doll avatar as a freegroup gift. This bento mesh avatar comes in a complete head-to-toe form, including the dress and leg-wraps as one piece. The included hair is separate, and there is an example shape included as well. There’s also a “human” ears version of the doll included in the package. The COCO group is free to join making this strange and lovely gift an amazing freebie.
In addition to the avatar, I picked up the free group gift crown set at Birth. It was originally shown on the blog here. This gift comes in the static worn version shown, and a floating/spinning worn version as well. The Birth group is free to join also, so don’t hesitate to pick up this pretty accessory.
Lastly, the held pumpkin lantern is a Marketplace find by Bowtique. It has its own hold pose, and can be turned off or on by clicking it. You can get yours for just 25 linden on the Marketplace.

Hey there and Happy Friday, FabFree! It was a rough week but here we are ready to weekend it up! And what better way to do the weekend than with cute casual and free?
Let’s start with my new ‘do. This is No_Pills from No_Match and it’s the free gift for us group members. Even though No_Match’s group is 50L to join, it’s such a great bargain. No only are they really great about changing the gift each month and offering other special freebies, there are literally dozens of past gifts up on the wall to grab. Thank you No_Match!
Ok, this is one of Juli’s weird mistakes that turned out kinda cool. After I grabbed my gift dress ( And slapped the midnight Mania and looked at all the Lucky Boards and swooned over the new releases over at MonaLISA ) I popped the dress on forgetting I had a pair of jeans on already. And BINGO… super cute belted tunic outfit! I guess that’s one of the joys of Second Life… it IS what you make it! Anyway…
This is the ‘Beya Dress’ from MonaLISA and it’s the latest gift for the Teleport HUB group. I know y’all have heard me talk about the Teleport HUB group before and I will continue to sing it’s praises. You can join up from any of their kiosks for just 10L and have access to hundreds of free gifts. It really is a great deal!
Sizes Included
Belleza – Freya, Venus
Maitreya
SLink – Hourglass, Physique
Tonic – Curvy, Fine
The last of my great deals today are my new shoes. These are ‘Shanti” from Maitreya and you can get these for free in the main store. Shanti was one last Stay at Home gift from Maitreya so some of y’all may already have these beauties in your closet. Don’t like the black color? You can pick one of 21 other colors and two choices for the soles and heels! As of this posting, these gorgeous shoes are still out for everyone to pick up. Since Stay at Home is no longer operating, there is no telling how long these will be available so hurry over and grab your pair before they disappear.

As we seem to be rapidly approaching my favorite holiday I was excited to see the new group gift at Caboodle. The Caboodle group gift is a short nun’s habit, which lends itself perfectly to creating a creepy demonic possession look. Inspired by the idea I added the new group gift tattoo by Letis, the Pumpkin Hunt gift by Blackstone at Swank, and some inexpensive Marketplace finds from Corvus, Mary, R.A.D. and Glow Up. I think this look would fit right in at just about any haunted house. Time to get terrifying!
Caboodle
Truly this nun’s habit group gift at Caboodle was the inspiration for creating my demonic nun look just in time for Halloween. The Caboodle group has a join fee of 100 linden. The habit can be repositioned, and sized. I wore it with a simple hair-base. Also, don’t forget to pick up the previous group gifts still available at Caboodle.
Letis
Letis put out this perfect-for-Halloween unisex spiderweb upper body tattoo as their latest group gift. The Letis group is free to join, so don’t miss out on this very well done tattoo.
I mentioned the Pumpkin Hunt happening at Swank in my recent post “Let Me Show You the Way.” The dress and horns I used for this look are from the Pumpkin Hunt gift by Blackstone. This gift includes a full look with a dress, horns, and a matching devil tail (not shown), as well as a HUD with several colors for the dress. You can pick this gift up for free at Swank. You’ll need the freeSwank group tag, I’ll link that group below. This dress is fitted for Maitreya Lara only.

Marketplace Finds
The gifts from Caboodle and Letis were a good start for this scary nun I’d imagined, the Marketplace was helpful for much of the rest.
Corvus – No possessed being would be complete without darkened circles around the eyes. I picked up the Corvus Demon Eyeshadow BOM layer for 30 linden on the Marketplace.
Mary – I also found a Halloween gift by Mary from 2019 on the Marketplace. The little goth cross tattoo comes in an Omega applier and is 1 linden on the Marketplace.
Glow Up – For some added gore I picked up a little nose-bleed drip by Glow Up on the Marketplace for free. It comes in a BOM layer only.
R.A.D. – Finally, the bloody sewn-shut lips are a Marketplace dollarbie by R.A.D. This gory costume essential comes in BOM layers and an Omega applier.
Alright all you creeps and ghouls, I really hope you enjoy these freaky fun freebies and cheapies. It was a lot of fun putting this super creepy look together for Halloween. Have fun out there!

Hello there Fab Free’rs. Thanks for being here. October is happening way too quickly for my liking. I’ve been having too much fun with all that Second Life has to offer this time of year. For today’s look I picked up a SL Frees & Offers group gift by Lovel, a group gift at Paniq, and a Marketplace dollarbie by POUT!. I felt like a cute quirky modern witch in this look I was able to put together with my finds. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Lovel
Lovel has this cozy cropped hoodie for free with the SL Frees & Offers (SLF&O) group tag. The SLF&O group is free to join. I really like some of the details of this soft blue sweatshirt such as the lacing going up the sleeves. This top comes in the single baby blue color shown, and a version with the hood down instead of up like shown.
SLF&O Group – secondlife:///app/group/601a412e-f210-e20c-2f01-e186b0ea4f42/about
Paniq
The bright blue crystal and accompanying bento pose are a free group gift at Paniq. Perfect for October, the “Samhain Ritual” pose includes the crystal and a pose ball. The Paniq group has a join fee of 25 linden, and there are other group gifts also available.
POUT!
Finally, my eye makeup and lipstick are an oldie but definitely a goodie by POUT! that you can pick up for 1 linden on the Marketplace. This dollarbie makeup applier works with Catwa heads only. I think it’s a perfectly bewitching makeup look!
Follow me. I can show you the way. The way to what you ask? Well freebies of course! hehe Thanks for being here Fab Free’rs! There are so many fun things with gifts and prizes happing right now that it is hard to keep up. For this post I’m featuring a few of the Pumpkin Hunt gifts at Swank and a new free gift from Izzie’s.
Now through the end of the month the Swank event is hosting a Pumpkin Hunt. Most if not all of the participating shops have a Swank logo pumpkin at their booth with a gift ranging in price from 0 linden to 1 linden. I chose the free hunt gifts from Guguvaga, and Firelight to share with you. The Pumpkin Hunt at Swank does require you to wear the free-to-joinSwank group tag.

Guguvaga
I love the delicate looking sparkly spiderwebs on this fitted black tee by Guguvaga. It is a freeSwank Pumpkin Hunt prize you can pick up at the event, just look for the Guguvaga booth. Don’t forget the Swank group tag.
Swank Group – secondlife:///app/group/35fc648a-c80a-bd06-7b1c-0385c52e0fc1/about
Firelight
While I might not normally be a redhead, I found this pumpkin colored hairstyle by Firelight too cute to not share. I also think that the vibrant orange-red color is quite pretty, even if it’s not my usual. That said this pretty ponytail is also free as part of the Swank Pumpkin Hunt. Find and click the Swank logo pumpkin at the Firelight booth. The hairstyle comes in the “pumpkin” color shown with 2 size options. Remember to wear the Swank group tag from the free-to-join group.

Izzie’s
Finally, I came across some gorgeous BOM and applier eyeshadows by Izzie’s on the Marketplace for free. The “Gloom Eyeshadows” are 0 linden on the Marketplace. With this gift you’ll get 5 smoky colors in 2 variations each.
This is going to be a super quick drive – by sort of post from me tonight, my dears. I am currently doing some traveling here in real life but I couldn’t forget my SL friends when something cool came up for free!
Fist is the special effects sprawled out hair from No_Match. You can pick up this free anniversary gift at the Fameshed X event with no group needed. The hair comes with a Fatpack so your color is sure to be there. Just grab it before November 6th when it vanishes away.
My cute fluttery top is also a free gift from The Teleport HUB group and AMUI. You can join the Teleport HUB for just 10 little lindens and get access to tons of free gifts from awesome designers. So what are you waiting for? Just pop over to AMUI and tap the Teleport HUB sign to join up.

I just couldn’t put the book I was reading down. Blue had gone to bed hours ago, at what anyone would have considered a late hour. I had replied that I too would call it a night after just a moment longer. One more page, a chapter, just a bit more. A moment longer turned into hours later, the once blazing fire in the fireplace now glowing red embers, and the morning sun was hinting over the horizon.
It didn’t help the situation that I had the cozy comfort of the oversized arm chair and a fuzzy warm blanket to keep me content and steadily reading my book. Come to think of it the glass of wine probably contributed to my unintentional all-nighter as well. The chair with props, and table with wine and decadent chocolates are both part of the Monster Mash hunt prize at Kitty Creations. There are several individual and couples poses, many with fun props in this set. You can hunt it down for 1 linden at Kitty Creations. If you’re not in a hunting sort of mood, you can also purchase the set for 25 linden for the duration of the hunt.
With my quite cozy spot near the fire, and my equally comfortable attire I was left with little ability to resist the allure of finishing my novel. This cute as heck tank top is a free Lucky Letter board prize at Pink Cream Pie. Not only is the witchy graphic cute, with the pastel colors versus the usual dark colors of the season, it references a favorite Halloween movie of mine, Hocus Pocus. To participate in the Pink Cream Pie Lucky Boards (there are 3 new prizes) you’ll need the group tag. The Pink Cream Pie group has a join fee of 314 linden. There are quite a few group gifts available as well, you’ll find the boards and the group gifts on the second floor.
