Boho Office

Hey FabFree! I have a quick post with more great decor to show off from Farmer’s Market. Aline blogged all about this event here. I decided to check out the event and create another scene with some more of the great free gifts from Farmer’s Market.

The free gifts I am showing in my cute boho office space are…

  • A pretty painting from pecheresse
  • A cute wall shelf with photo frame (you can add your own custom photo in it) with lights by Duvet Day
  • A key holder from Apple Fall
  • A coffee mug from THOR
  • Brown basket bowls from MADRAS
  • A vintage green wall clock by chronokit
  • A small peach & honey candle from spruce
  • A cloth wall hanger with a cow design from Broken Arrows

All of this decor is free, so there are lots of goodies to grab at Farmer’s Market, which is only running until March 18th. Go quickly to get the gifts!

Teaparty for One

Tea Party

A New Look @ Paper.Sparrow

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 free gift 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.

Enjoy the tea party!

Well, FabFree, it’s been quite a few weeks of celebrations and I am tired. Between Christmas and New Years’, I am always beat at the end of it all from all the partying that occurs during the holidays.

Get Cozy

Get Cozy

There’s nothing I require more right now than being holed up somewhere cozy with a nice cup of something warm to drink.  I’m going to curl up by the fireplace with a good book and forget that the world generally is doing that whole existing thing for a while!

Happy Birthday!

QE Designs are celebrating both Black Friday and a Birthday this weekend, and not only is there a sale going on, but also a hunt (I love it when that happens!) I grabbed this lovely outfit, which is perfect for all the cozy partying I have in mind, for just 25L for each piece.  The mug too!  There are some lovely decor items as well.  It’s not the easiest of hunts, you’re looking for very very tiny cupcakes hidden in the store, so you’ll need a bit of peeled peepers for this one.  You’ve got until December 2nd to take part!

Twin Cats

Two Cats

Hey FabFree! I have a new feline friend and we decided to go out on a spooky walk together.

To start off, I am showing a few more free gifts from the Halloween Shop & Hop, including:

  • Free eyeshadow from Pout!, which comes in BOM layers for Lelutka EvoX heads. Several colour options are included and they are stunning, as is to be expected from Pout!
  • A free HD lipstick applier from Purple for Lelutka EvoX heads. Several colour options are included.
  • Free mesh spiders that sit so perfectly on your legs from Seance. These are just fantastic! Be careful if you are scared of spiders, as these creep right up on your legs. You do need to join the free Seance group to get this gift, but the gift is in their Halloween Shop & Hop booth.

Two Cats II

  • My striking eyes are the latest group gift from lovelysweet. They come in a darks and lights pack, and they fit all Lelutka Heads, Omega, and BOM.
  • My hairstyle is only 1L from FAGA on the Marketplace. I made the dreaded mistake of leaving the FAGA group when I should have stayed in it, so I was happy that I could pick up this beautiful hairstyle gift for only 1 linden on the MP. I love when that happens. The Mini hairstyle includes an exclusive colour hud of several different colour options.

Two Cats III

  • Lastly, my new cat is the latest free group gift at SEmotion & Libellune. This is an animesh companion, and there are only 8 more days left to get it. It’s so cute!

Have fun, FabFree!

Nostalgia

Coming Soon

This look brings me back to my pre-teen “Emo” days. Yep, this was the fashion style I rocked back in middle school… red converse shoes with black clothes and hair swept past half my face and eyes. Ah, nostalgia. I will admit that I’m happy those years are over, but it’s still fun to dress up Caroline in different styles all the time!

More MMB Goodies @ Moon

I have more great Midnight Madness Board prizes from Moon to show off today. As you already know by now, the VIP group is required to play their boards and the group costs 350L to join.

  • The “Felt Emo” hairstyle is one of the new hair prizes on the board. It includes a full fatpack with different colour huds and options – ombres, naturals and duo packs, as well as a style hud.
  • The eyeliner I am wearing is decorated with little flames at the top of each eyelid. These eyeliners come in black with colour accents on the flame design. These eyeshadows come in BOM layers for Lelutka EvoX heads only.

Here are some past posts from Allison and myself that show more great prizes from Moon‘s Midnight Madness board:

Luckies @ [QE] Designs

I always love to play the lucky chairs at [QE] Designs. I won this fantastic skirt on the chairs. This skirt comes in a corduroy texture in several colours you can change via a HUD. No group join is required to play the lucky chairs at [QE] Designs, so these are free to play.

Sizes Included

  • Venus
  • Isis
  • Freya
  • Lara
  • Hourglass
  • Physique

See you soon, FabFree!

Autumn Luck

Coming Soon

Lucky Board Love

In the last few months, I have been too impatient to play lucky boards. I think that happens when you’ve been on SL for a few years. Eventually, you say… “meh, I’m too lazy to camp…” However, sometimes it is SO worth it, so I’ve been trying to play all the boards I’ve missed lately. I keep a little folder of LMs to hop to, hoping my letter will show up. I got some luck at Look At Me and Lybra, and I’ll show you what I won today from their great lucky boards.

The first lucky board prize I won is from Look At Me, and no group is needed to play the boards there. I love the Nadine dress in brown, and it’s free! The dress comes with a HUD that allows you to change the colours of the metals.

  • Lara
  • Legacy
  • Freya
  • Hourglass
  • Petite

Coming Soon

The second lucky board prize I want to share are these fabulous heels. I just love these. These are free at Lybra on their lucky boards. You need to join their free group to get their lucky board prizes. You can win these fantastic shoes in black (shown here) or red. I landed both pairs and I couldn’t be happier. The shoes include a hud that allows you to change the textures of the metals and the soles of the shoe.

Sizes Included (Shoes)

  • Belleza Freya
  • Maitreya
  • Erika
  • Hourglass
  • Legacy
  • Kupra

Coming Soon

Some new Gifts from DeeTaleZ

DeeTaleZ has some new group gifts out for their group members. Their group is currently free to join, and all of the gifts there are free group gifts. You will find the group gifts in the Lelutka EvoX section of the store.

  • My lipstick is from a natural pack of BOM lipsticks, which is one of the new group gifts.
  • I am also wearing the “liquid” eyeshadows, which come in BOM layers in several different colours.

Sizes Included (lipstick & eyeshadow)

  • BOM layers for Lelutka EvoX

Enjoy, FabFree!

Crabby Cakes

Crabby Cakes

Hey, FabFree! I have a couple more items from the Get Crabby Hunt to share with you all. I’ll be quick because this hunt ends on September 18th, so you only have a couple more days to do it. You may remember that the Get Crabby Hunt group costs 500L to join and you need to be in the group to participate in it. You can read all the details about the hunt and access the previews of the hunt prizes in my original post about the hunt HERE. I also showed another prize from the hunt in this post.

Today I am showing a cute crab-themed top and crab-patterned shoes which you can nab on the Get Crabby Hunt until September 18th.

Don’t Worry, Be Crabby

My t-shirt is the prize from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. I definitely have a crabby side to my personality so I was drawn to this tee right away! Please note that this tee will be retired forever after the hunt is over, so this is a one-time-only limited exclusive.

Sizes Included

  • Lara
  • Legacy
  • Freya
  • Isis
  • Venus
  • Hourglass
  • Physique
  • Ebody Classic
  • Ocacin
  • TMP
  • Tonic Curvy
  • Tonic Fine
  • Standard Sizes

Paris, in Crab Edition

Crabby Cakes II
Starlight Apparel has been coming out with some really cute textures and different versions of their “Paris Sneakers” lately. This one is a special edition with crabs on it just for a hunt! Here’s a closeup of the shoes- they are so cute. This is also another exclusive for the hunt so this will be your last chance to get it.

Sizes Included

  • Slink
  • Maitreya
  • Reborn
  • Kupra
  • Legacy
  • Belleza
  • Star

Now, all this talk about crabs is putting me in the mood to go make some crab cakes…

There’s No Good Way to Say Goodbye

Coming Soon

To a Great and Supporting Creator

As I write this post I can feel myself tearing up. .EscalateD., which is one of my favourite stores of all time, is closing its doors on July 31st, 2022. .EscalateD. was the first creator to support me as a blogger and I have had the privilege of showing their unique and beautiful hairstyles over the years. .EscalateD. has to have been one of the most generous hair creators to contribute to the freebie community over the years and the store will be missed dearly by her devoted fans. I hope that on whatever journey Dolphin Ayres embarks on after this that she finds great fulfillment and happiness in her RL and SL. ❤

Solaris

I am wearing Solaris today, which is my favourite hairstyle of all time from .EscalateD. It’s so beautiful. I love the detailing in the braids and the stones. This is a classic work from this wonderful creator. The hairstyle includes a style hud and a Universal Colour Hud in naturals and unnaturals colours, which work on all of the hairstyles sold in the store.

Coming Soon

You may be lucky enough to win this hairstyle on the MM Board this month, as this will be your last chance to play these fun boards. Every day, there is a new hairstyle on the Midnight Mania boards which group members can play to win. The .EscalateD. VIP group only costs 25L to join right now. The boards are locking regularly lately. You can also win a tonne of hairstyles on their lucky boards, as well as Universal Colour huds. Being a VIP also gives you access to all of their lovely group gifts. There are more hairstyles available for free for those not in the group as well on lucky boards and mini mania boards that are free for all to play, as well as a few freebies and 5L offers on the wall. Now is your last chance to grab the free offers and group gifts at the store!

Additionally, you may have store credit racked up on your .EscalateD. account. Check your balance using any of the check credit terminals in the store. You only have until the end of July to use up that credit when the store closes. After that, credits will be gone forever. All items in the store are set to a 25% off discount for the closing sale. Fear not, though, .EscalateD. is not gone for good! After the store closes, all of the products will be available for purchase on their Marketplace store.

A final gift

As a parting present, my pretty little necklace is a free gift from Supernatural @ SL19B. It complimented my look well today and I always enjoy a little gift from this talented creator.

That’s all for now, FabFree!
