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!)

When Life Gives You Lemons…

Hey FabFree! It’s been a minute, but I’m back now, taking in all the sun and enjoying the summer weather. I am embracing that saying fully here with “when life gives you lemons make lemonade”. Basically, lets spread the positivity and good warm summer vibes no matter what we are hit with! I am going to share some summer fun goodies today so let’s dig in! 

The Summer Carnival

The Summer Carnival event is a big hit this year. The Summer Carnival is filled with cotton candy and popcorn machines, awesome summer items and fun carnival games to play! They also have a couple freebies out, so there should be something for everyone. Some of the free items I am showing from the event today are:

• A free wall tapestry from Ari-Pari that says “Hello Summer”! It’s great, and so bright. 
• Louchara has this lovely garden shelf out for free at the event too. 

No group is required for these gifts, so just swing by Summer Carnival to grab them before the event ends on July 16th. 

Some Cute Sandals

Another freebie I have to show today are these adorable sandals by Hopes Creations. These are a free gift at SL18B. Go over to Hopes Creations booth to get them and they are yours, and they come in several patterns. 

55 Hairs!

The last announcement I want to make is about more gift hairs from Fabia. This hair designer has been so generous to us lately, and they are throwing more at us. They have no less than 55 hair fatpacks for free at their store right now for group members only. The Fabia group costs 200L to join. What a steal! These gifts will all be gone on July 1st, so scoop them up quickly before they are retired for good.

Enjoy the summer weather, FabFree!

Coffee Lover

Gooday, FabFree! Have I ever expressed my love of all things coffee? I need coffee! It’s my life blood because it gets me through every morning! Last weekend, I went on a shopping binge of coffee-themed clothes in SL to celebrate my love of coffee. I just need my cup of Joe in the morning!

Love ❤

First up, this beautiful wall hanging is the latest FabFree group gift at Noveny. Simply join the FabFree group for free and slap the gift board at Noveny. This item will make a great addition to any home!

A Free Frap!

To support my love of coffee, Astralia has a free frappuccino out for all as a free subscriber gift. Just click the subscriber board at Astralia and all the gifts are yours! No group required for these great freebies. 

Au Natural

Sometimes you just need that natural look in SL. These free lashes from Pout! are perfect for that. Their latest group gift is an applier that includes 6 styles of natural eyelashes. These worked perfectly for achieving the natural, out-of-bed, pre-makeup routine look!  The Pout! group is free to join and they have lots of past group gifts out as well.

In My House

Hey Fab Free! I have a few really cool freebies to show you, which is almost everything in this photo except for my hair. Let’s start with the decor, and then move on to my outfit after.

Hip Decor

This great wall tapestry is amazing, and a free gift at Petite Mort. It’s called the “Compassion tapestry” and it’s branded with a number of slogans about human rights and social issues. It works perfect in my living room, so I was quite pleased with this gift! No group is needed for this gift, just buy it for 0L on the gift shelf at Petite Mort.

I am also showing a couple of free stay at home club gifts by Rune Creation, including this funky chair and the camo rug. There are a whole wall of free stay at home gifts, so collect them up while you still can.

The Outfit

The top I have on is another free gift at Petite Mort, which you can also get for 0 Linden.  You can’t see it very clearly in my photo, but it says “Black Lives Matter” on it and it fits perfect. I love it, plus is goes with my new banner perfectly. The skirt, which I simply adore, is currently a free lucky letter prize at Oubliette, the partner store of Petite Mort, which needs the free group to win.

Sizes included (Top & Skirt):

• • Belleza (Freya, Isis & Venus)
  • Maitreya
  • Slink (Physique & Hourglass)

Thanks for reading, Fab Free!
