Happy Saturday!!! Perhaps you need a little weekend getaway place? I have the perfect little beach hut for you, Essential Inventory is a group that offers gifts from around the grid if your a member of their group, this adorable hut is from Tropix.
I can just imagine having a relaxing weekend laying out in the sun on the deck and drinking something tropical.
Aline posted another free Essential Inventory group gift which you can see here.

Happy Tuesday! I’m just popping in to show you my cute free outfit!
Places I’d Never Been
Envious is a new to me store. The clothes there are really fun and sexy. I’m wearing one of the free group gifts, aptly named Trouble. It includes both the sweater and jeans. The jeans are flared at the bottom and come in different lengths depending on what foot shape you’re using, which is a nice touch. In addition to the Trouble group gift, there are two other nice free group gifts as well.
Sizes:
Freya
Hourglass
Legacy
Maitreya
The Envious group is free to join, but there was a group notice saying that it is only free temporarily until January 1st. Obviously we are far past that so I’ve no idea how long you’ve got to join the group and get the gifts. Better go now! 🙂

I’d been pondering if it was too early to do a Valentine’s Day post. After all, Valentine’s Day is only a couple of weeks away. Then, the decision was made for me when I saw a group notice for the Petite Mort and Oubliette Valentines Hunt!
One Last Hunt
It’s really the perfect way to spend a chilly January day, hunting the stunningly beautiful Witchwood sim for Valentine’s goodies. And we’d better enjoy it while we can, because this will be the last hunt on the Witchwood sim as it is now. But don’t fret, Melora Frost (owner/creator of Witchwood and both stores) announced in the group chat that she will be redecorating the sim and relaunching both stores. She says that she plans to put the two stores next to each other and dedicate half of the sim to themed hunts. It’s a little bittersweet because the sim is so lovely as it is and I’ve definitely taken my share of photos there over the years, but also exciting to see what Melora will come up with next!
Hearts and Roses
Back to the current hunt – this time you’re looking for 18 conversation hearts scattered all over the sim. They’re not terribly hard to find, but if you have trouble just look for the Hunt Pack Info & Clues at the landing point. It includes pictures of the prizes and the hearts you’re looking for, as well as some tips and even a list of hints for the location of each one. Each prize costs 10L or 20L. I’m wearing two:
The denim jacket is 20L and acid washed to perfection
The cute “love tee” I’m wearing under it is only 10L
Both items are sized for Maitreya, Legacy, and Reborn.
In addition to the hunt, both stores are currently 50% off. It all officially started today and end on February 14th.

I do enjoy spending my SL time in tropical climes all year ’round, but right now that cold RL weather is chilling me to the bone. It is officially time to get cozy, in both lives!
Snuggly Warm
I’ll admit that my first inclination was towards a longer sweater but I certainly have no regrets for where I ended up. My sweater is an older free group gift from Beautiful Dirty Rich and still flawless. I absolutely love BDR, it’s one of those nostalgia stores for me that’s still putting out gorgeous items. And as a bonus there is an entire wall of amazing free group gifts. Oh, and the group is free to join. Even if you’re already an loyal BDR shopper, you’ll want to hop over and make sure you’re not missing any. The free Leah sweater that I’m wearing comes complete with a huge HUD of color options and these sizes:
Belleza Freya & Hourglass
Legacy Classic & Perky
Maitreya Lara & Petite
Slink Hourglass & Hourglass Petite
Down To My Toes
Today’s look was most definitely inspired by my new boots. For someone who barely wears shoes I’m ridiculously drawn to well made footwear, and that’s an area where Friday always delivers. These are so so cute and will go with everything! Today you can get them for only 50L as Friday‘s offering for the Fifty Linden Friday sale in either brown or black. They also come with a pair of sock cuffs that can be changed to a handful of colors, and sized for:
Legacy
Maitreya
Reborn

Hi FabFree. I’m feeling extra sweet today. No, it’s not the donuts. It’s even better than that! Better than donuts? Sounds crazy but it’s true!
Sugar High
My adorable and sexy outfit is the current group gift at Candy Kitten. The sugar high overalls gift includes a full fatpack – tons of colors for the skirt/suspenders (including an excessive but lovely variety of denim shades), top, and even the belt that you can mix and match to your heart’s desire. Candy Kitten is 400L to join and is a billion times worth using up one of those precious group slots.

Ahhhh the weekend, time to catch up on missed freebies. And I’ve got one for you to catch, before it’s too late!
Showcase of Designer
Yup, Designer Showcase. You’ve already seen some of the pretties here, but have you gone to grab them for yourself? If not, here’s your last call. The 12th Anniversary round of Designer Showcase will end on January 25th. That means only a few more days to go get the gifts. Just join the freeDesigner Showcase group and click the gift that each designer has out at their booth to get it for free. The tuxedo jacket dress that I’m wearing is the free gift from SAS. Get it and lots more before they’re gone.

By now you’ve heard about the passing of Palomma Casanova, maybe from Aline’s post here. I did not know her personally or ever speak to her, to my recollection. I can’t claim any personal grief or loss. But that isn’t to say that I’m not affected because really all of SL is affected. The Free Dove was an institution in Second Life for over 18 years. It was always around as a place to send new players or even veterans that needed to spruce up their avatars for free. In that way, The Free Dove and FabFree had the same mission. It was strange shopping at The Free Dove for this post, knowing that it’s creator is no longer with us and that it might be the last time I’m there before the doors close for good.
I picked up a few items and went to a pretty sim of sunflowers that I found on Palomma’s profile picks, that it appears she owned as well. The free items that I’m wearing from The Free Dove are:
Free sweater dress by Satus Inc in sizes for Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Maitreya, Slink (Hourglass and Physique), TMP, and fitmesh sizes XS-XL
Free hair by Faga with a style HUD including all the colors
Free boots by Shoe-Ddiction sized for Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Maitreya, Physique, and Venus
To get these pieces for yourself you just need to be in The Free Dove group (it’s free to join). Then head over to The Free Dove to get the things that I’m wearing and so much more, all for free. There’s no word on how long the sim will remain so you’ll want to make the trip sooner rather than later.
Thank you Palomma, for your amazing contribution to the SL community. I have a feeling that The Free Dove and you will be remember and talked about long after the sim disappears.

Hi there. Just popping in to show you this cute free outfit that I found at Look At Me. The fun high waisted skirt and cropped sweater can be worn separately and would be so easy to mix into other outfits. There is a HUD for other color options included, and most of the others are rather Christmas-y. However, I thought this blue pattern was just perfect for running some late winter errands, provided you don’t need to be outside for too long.

I guess I’d better get to the best part. The group at Look At Me is free to join and the gift is free as well. There are also a few other free gifts available, plus some lucky boards. I was having a good lucky board day, I won twice while I was there! Hopefully you have the same luck.

Oh you know, just hanging around. Looking cute. Normal old Sunday. Not doing anything…except collecting freebie and sale items, of course!
For Free
I don’t spend enough time collecting FabFree group gifts. I really should be better about that. The FabFree group is always free and the gifts are free, what’s not to love? You can see the complete FabFree group gift list here. For right now, I’m wearing the new free gift that Paper.Sparrow put out. It’s this sexily cute corset top in red. All you’ve gotta do is wear your FabFree tag and go to Paper.Sparrow to pick one up for yourself.

You know I love the weekend sales. I’ve managed to be rather restrained lately, but couldn’t resist this gorgeous hair from Stealthic. It’s only 60L per color pack for Happy Weekend and includes a style HUD. Perfection.
