The Doorway into Autumn

Hey gang,

I’m here with Tara (aka Miss Tee, aka Chia pet, aka Chi, etc etc) to share with you some gorgeous Autumn decor for your home.  This week would have been Tara’s birthday if her real life self were still here and although I have been unable to find a shih tzu companion in world that looks like her (she was a black and white shih tzu, and I kept her hair cute and short, as she was a bit of a tomboy!), I try to get as close as I can and this little one from Rezz Room is very cute.  😉  (My Golden Animesh Sumner is also based on a real life furbaby of mine I had many moons ago).

But I digress, I am here to speak of the glories of autumn decor, it’s just that she is on my mind this week, September is a difficult month for me, I lost Sumner on the 29th of August, my dad on the 18th and my Mom on the 29th.(not the same year of course)  So with them all lumped together and my little Tee’s birthday in the mix, it’s in the forefront of my mind lately.

Let’s talk about Autumn!  Shanti always has some goodies for free for everyone and this time of year is no exception.  Not only is there a free box of autumn themed goodies (including the rug here and several other items!) but there is also the fireplace behind me for 55L, along with the cute sunflower tapestry, which I love for only 45L but brand new this year is the Ready for Autumn Golden who is only 1L!  I’ve taken a closer-up photo below to show you the little lights so cozy on the fireplace and on our autumn wreath wearing handsome pup as well!  It’s all got a soft lovely glow that will bring a cozy atmosphere to those chilly autumn nights coming up!
No group required for any of these goodies.

Don’t forget all clothing at Shanti is 75L and under, clothing for mesh bodies is on the right and for classic and BOM, on the left.  Though some of the mesh bodies contain classic clothing, just check the vendors for that.  😉

Also, my cute boots are a free group gift from Promagic, they have a load of group gifts and their group is free to join (ok its a whole ROOM of group gifts).

I’m still hoping summer will come back because this girl is not a fan of the cold.  The only *good* thing is that I get to whip out my collection of fingerless gloves that I love to wear.  😉  Of course with covid, I’ve been reduced to wearing them at home, but that’s ok, my hands are cold all winter.  😉 (as if I need an excuse to wear them!)

Settling Back In

Hey FabFree! Now that I’m settling back into SL after a week’s reprieve, I have a number of awesome things to share tonight, including free hair and free VIP hair group join, a gacha filled with rugs, a 1L outfit, and some dollarbie makeup! 

Free Group and a new Free hair @ FAGA

I have amazing news! FAGA, a fairly new and up and coming hair store, has opened up their VIP group for a very short period of time for free, and they have a brand new free group gift out too! This is the Amy hairstyle, and it comes with a pro hud that allows you to change the style of the hair and change it to many different colours. I love the highlights! FAGA is a super generous designer so I think I will keep their group, and I hope you do too. I’m not sure how long this will be available for free, so goooo. 

End of an Era: Gorgeous Gacha Rugs!

It’s hard to believe that gachas are ending. I’ve never been that much of a gacha player, but I can tell you that I have loved sharing gacha finds with you on this blog and I will be sad that I can’t share them with you anymore. I will try my best to show you a few more before gachas go away for good! The amazing rugs shown in my post today are from the modern rug gacha by MOoH! at The Gacha Garden. This will be the last time this event runs in history, so make sure you go play the gachas before they are gone for good. There are also a couple free gifts at the event, so go before it poofs. The modern rug gacha is brand new, and I am showing two rare prizes- the pastel wave purple, blue, and orange rug and the bright rainbow mandala rug seen in the room next to me. This gacha is just wild and I am loving these creative rugs! The modern rug gacha costs 40L per pull to play, and after 20 plays you also win a free seed of inspiration rug. 

 

Innocent Look

In addition to the awesome items I’ve already highlighted, I’m also wearing this adorable outfit, which is a 1L hunt prize on the Back to School Hunt. You can snag this prize for 1 Linden at Ari-Pari. This outfit looks more like a teacher than a student, and I personally felt like it matched the innocent Amy hairstyle well. As well, the vintage textures on the top and skirt work well with my new vibrant rugs. You can change the colours of the top and skirt to 8 different colours, and the hint to find the prize is, “don’t forget your pencils!”

Makeup Cheapies!

Another awesome feature for today’s post is the store Relentless. This is a great store, and they have pages of 1L and 0L makeup available on their Marketplace store. I am currently wearing a set of eyes, and a natural shade of lipstick. I paid only 1L for each item and everything in their store is very high quality.

The Rug – This fur rug is a FREE group gift from Zen Creations. The coffee and the pen have poses attached to them. The rug will give you a pen prop or a coffee mug to hold depending on which pose you choose. I just used my own pose to take this photo. The Zen Creations group is FREE to join.

The Top – Hilly Haalan has 3 FREE group gifts out, and this fun warm weather top is one of them. The top comes in several mesh sizes and has a color/texture change hud with tons of options.

Sitting Pretty

Hunting for Frosting.

I made a couple stops along the trail of the Frosting Hunt and found a couple of gems to share with you. My first stop was Prism, where I picked up my outfit. It includes this excellent pair of suede pants and the lovely off the shoulder pink sweater. Each piece is separate and comes in all the standard mesh sizes with a good alpha layer. For just 1L and a little hunting time to find the snowflake, this gem of an outfit can be yours.

Sitting pretty.

I also stopped by Kitty Creations because I was in need of a furniture pick-me-up. The Frosting Hunt prize there is this lovely braided rug as well as this nicely patterned black ottoman which includes quite a few very nice unisex sits. The rug is copiable, but the ottoman is no copy. However for only 1L, if you want more than one of this gorgeous ottoman, it won’t break the bank to hunt down the snowflake and buy more than one copy of this Frosting Hunt prize at Kitty Creations.

Heat Wave Event – Lok’s Low Prim Furniture

More blogging from the Heat Wave Event! One of the things I love to see is a great Designer for home décor… like, say,  Lok’s Low Prime Furniture have a sale… such as the Heat Wave Cart Sale at the Wash… right when I have a new SL home to fill up with new furniture!

This could be your new living room! The ‘Berry Sweet Sofa’ here is really the star. The fabric of both the cushions and the throw pillows are customizable with ten color choices. The rug is also has ten color changes and the curtains come in five colors. Plus, the curtains (which I’m using three sets of for this picture) will open and close at a touch. The little fish tank comes with a finny friend who even swims back and forth. The trio of potted plants is resizable to fit into your space perfectly too. The bucket of hydrangeas is Lok’s 50L item and that’s a steal!

The Heat is on at the Heat Wave Event until June 10th, so don’t miss out!

WE at Home

Hi Fab Free! So today I have some fabulous FREEbies that are a bit out of the norm for me. A new shop recently opened up in Second Life called W.E. at Home.  What does the “W.E.” stand for you might ask? Without Exception! This store features high quality furnishings with gorgeous textures and beautiful well-thought-out poses. Not to mention the shop also showcases artwork from several of Second Life’s resident artists. In celebration of their opening, W.E. at Home has a few lovely FREE gifts out for the taking.

First, this pretty throw rug and matching pillows pictured above is one of the FREE gifts from W.E. at Home. It is called the “Friends” rug because it is meant for hanging out and spending time with friends. This mesh rug includes multiple casual male and female poses. Pru is taking advantage of one of the female poses in the photo! I took a close up of the second gift so you can see all the little details.

This beautifully done serving tray with cigars and port wine is the second FREE gift from W.E. at home. Not only is this mesh set nice to look at, it’s functional too! The set gives animated cigars and wine glasses when clicked. Additionally, the tray can be set so that everyone can use it, only group members can use it, or people listed on a custom access list. I think it looks great just sitting out in my living room!

You’ll find both gifts at the back of the store on or near the counter, just purchase the “gift” box next to each item for 0 lindens!

Here are the details, Enjoy!
