Hello Fabulouses! If you are a long time reader of FabFree, you may remember seeing posts done by our bloggers showing off designs from a cute little shop named Sleeping Koala over the years. The shop did close down a while back, but is now re-opening under the name Koala and they have a sweet little free opening gift for everyone!
The Opening Gift includes the Fishes & Fans Nickers you see my cute little butt in, provided in four system layers (2 fans and 2 fish prints) as well as an Omega Applier. You’ll find this cute little gift on the floor by the entrance 😉 Welcome back Koala!
I always love a brand new month and the start of brand new hunts! Today I decided to cover The Invitation Only Hunt! This hunt will run through until December 22nd! You are hunting for a white envelope and there are 47 stores involved so its not an uber long hunt! The envelopes are reasonable simple to find though there are a couple that are sneaky! All hunt items are FREE to buy!
This post is a long one again and covers a huge chunk of what you can find on the hunt and there are so many wonderful gifts! I hope you will enjoy finding them!
Sleeping Koala is number 1 in the hunt and is also the starting point.

Every time I install an upgraded viewer, I wonder, “Will this be the one that crashes my 3 year-old computer?” I spent 3 hours on Monday morning doing a clean install of the new Firestorm Beta viewer because I wanted the full value of materials-enabled items. I really prefer Firestorm to the regular SL viewer, but I think this might be “the one.” I’m pretty sure I hear coughing and gasping every time I crank up the graphics, and too many windlight changes practically blow up my graphics card. Worst of all, I’m seeing tile lines again. GAH!! 😦
Anyway, a couple of days ago, I spent some time checking out The 8th Unknown Hunt. Unlike other hunts going on at the moment, this one is not huge, and it includes stores that are new, or that you may never have heard of before. To quote the web site: “The original concept for The Unknown Hunt was to introduce hunters to stores that they had never been to or never heard of before. It was also to help new stores and less established ones gain more awareness and customers.” I love visiting new-to-me stores, so this hunt was a lot of fun! Here, I’m wearing the hunt gift from Olegun, the Halter Dress with Belt and Flower. My pose is one of a set of five poses called PINUP by Uncertain Smile Poses.
Over the mantle, you see 2 more hunt prizes. The Vintage Frames are a gift from Sari-Sari, and the art deco lamp is a gift from Sparrow by Design. The SbD gift also includes a swimsuit, which I’m not showing in this post.
This delicate jewelry is the gift from .sleeping koala. The picture really doesn’t do it justice, as the metalwork around the edges is so intricate that I just couldn’t get a good photo. My pose, which of course, you can’t really see here (sorry!) is one of a set of six poses from Flash Friendly Poses (includes mirrors). To make up for not showing the whole pose, let me share with you that there are LOTS of hunts going on at FFP, so be sure to stop by and pick up all the great gifts! 😀
Could someone please come and get these cats before my dogs see them? Wait… they’re part of the rug?
The NEW Panty Raid Hunt has begun! Originally the Panty Raid Hunt was organized with 50+ stores and I was so looking forward to it, however it was cancelled. Fortunately Saucey Sinister saved the day and re-organized this hunt! It is on a much smaller scale now with just 15 stores, but they are some really fantastic designers and are offering up some great gifts! In this post I will be showing you all 15 prizes, but they are not in order… If you’d like to see a complete list in order, you can visit the Official Blog here -> http://dollypop.blog.com/2012/09/18/panty-raid-hunt/.
9. ::WetCat:: Panty Raid Couples Pose – http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Etherea/42/214/24 – The photo above displays the Panty Raid Couples Pose that you can find by locating the panty icon at Wet Cat. It includes the bat and the panties. Thank you Kyle for posing with me, and putting such effort into your outfit – cracked me up! (Kyles credits are at the bottom of this post).
Another thing I wanted to mention is that Elikatira is having a HUGE 70% off sale until October 1st, 2012. I own several Elikatira hair styles and pairs of shoes/boots, however that didn’t stop me from going back for more! In this post, I’m wearing all kinds of Elikatira hairstyles (some mesh, some non-mesh), and also a free gift Hair called Say available in the entire colour line. (shown in the photo below). TP NOW TO ELIKATIRA!
2. Sparrowtree Studios Poses Fenetre D’Affichage – http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sanctuary%20Point/190/133/2000 – The Sparrowtree Studio Poses store has a great pose box with three poses as their PRH gift. I have used it in the next three poses, to show all three of them.
I’m enjoying my last few days of summer outside as much as I can because I know it’s going to be a long cold winter in no time. Yellow is such a happy summer colour and is sure to bring a smile to most faces, so stop by Sleeping Koala’s new location and pick up their My Flashing Bra Top opening gift! It’s on the counter on the desk and you can just pick it up for free – no joining groups. The jeans I paired up with it are also free, and can be found at Slink sitting by the main entrance. These jeans are mesh, and come with a HUD that allows a three shade change option. I am wearing the lightest shade.
Trinket showed the Fall Seating for Two Bench made by Siren’s Song this week in her Finding FabFree 81-100 post, and I needed to pick it up too! This hunt gift includes not only the animated bench that holds up to two avatars at a time with several sits, but also includes the floral rug shown on the ground and the basket sitting beside me on the bench. When you click the basket, it gives you a holdable apple and a yellow rose. This set allows for texture change on the cushion and will give you a cup of coffee to hold!
Just a reminder that the Finding FabFree Hunt is still running until the end of the month, has approximately 130 designers participating and TONS of great hunt gifts – READ MORE ABOUT IT!
Fabulously Free are celebrating 5 years! We all know how time feels in SL. Days can seem like weeks, weeks like months and years like a life time so this is a huge achievement!
I know I am the newest writer on the block but I have been reading FabFree for at least 3 of those 5 years and have always been eager to see the newest freebie finds and reading all about new designers. I have had my favourite writers, ones that have been an inspiration to me to try my hand at blogging and I am so honoured to now be part of the family here. I only hope I can help to carry on the blog for another 5 year and more! Who knows what will be going on in here by then!
Here are the gifts numbered from 41 – 60 in the Finding FabFree Hunt. There are some really amazing items that I know you are all going to love. Remember there are male gifts too, just us girls have passed those on to Kyle to blog seperately so those will be coming up soon aswell as the final half of the hunt! I hope you are all having fun!
Sleeping Koala has the most adorable mesh denim and lace dress on their cart at The Wash. The My Denim Lace Dress is available in red, white, green, yellow and lilac, each for just 10L each. There is a free demo available, so you can try before you buy! The Boho Copper Necklace I am wearing was shown by Renee yesterday and can be found on the Ear Candy cart at The Wash for 10L with a pair of matching earrings too!
You will also find the three top packs below in fatpacks for 10L. To the left, the My Sporty Croptop is shown. It comes in their “big pack” of 7 colours. The My Simple Vest is available in both regular avi sizes and for petites in a pack of three pastel colours.
It’s that time of year once again for the Taste of SL hunt. This hunt is relatively easy to do in one setting. The starting point is at Alexohol Fashions Mainstore. If you get stuck see the hint page on the Taste of SL blog. The Taste of SL 2nd Birthday Hunt began June 15th and continues until July 15th.
Yeah.. it’s true… Fatpacks are a huge weakness of mine. I could have worse weaknesses, right? 🙂 One of my favourite recent fatpacks is the mesh Moody Tops that are featured at The Color Blocking Fair 2012 Event that you can find in the 1 Hundred shop. There are 6 colours available at 100L each or you can fatpack for 400L making two of the tops free! The Painted Leggings I have paired up with the Moody Tops are made by Tentacio and can be found for 10L in the Color Blocking Bazaar.
I am also wearing a Mesh Around Hunt prize… The Metal Floral Stack Jewelry Set can be found at Sleeping Koala for free if you can locate the M icon for the Mesh Around Hunt! It includes the ring and bracelet in both L & R.
The fun blogger poses with the bubble sayings is a free gift from Adorkable that you can find right at the front of the store. There are five unisex poses and TONS of fun sayings in a click of the wearable bubble. I know the photos below are tiny – if you click on them it will show you a larger size lol.
