A grey and rainy spring day

So spring has finally sprung… and, in my neck of the woods, it has been a rainy, soggy, wet, and icky couple of days… although the weather seems to be improving, and if where you live is anything like where I live, then you might need some wellies, a cute outfit, and a fun umbrella! Luckily, MTC has us covered with their newest midnight mania gift!

The spring shower outfit includes a cute sweater dress in 2 different styles, a pair of black leggings, a black long-sleeve top, wellies, and even a cute umbrella! While the outfit does come with an umbrella, I can never resist breaking out an umbrella from Remarkable Oblivion when it rains! I previously showed another of their umbrellas [HERE], but I just love them too much to not keep showing them!

Just in case you’re not quite sure what “wellies” are, here’s a shot of them! Aren’t they just darling?

M & R Cupcakes, owned by Mimi Coral and Rosemary Galbraith, has sent out another adorable group gift: Plush Skins – Headcold (well, if my RL-avi would look so cute while having a cold ….. my dear! I would be more than grateful *LOL*) My SL-avi is grateful to be pleased with M & R Cupcakes` “Headcold Skin” in vista, apricot, cioccolato, piper and tamarind (each skin tone comes with a freckled and none freckled version). Worn in my pic is Plush Skin-Headcold vista freckled.

I´ve already mentioned that M & R Cupcakes Update Group isn´t free to join but worth every single linden. Join fee is … uhm … is …. 200 L or 250 L … not sure right now, sorry :-))

Helena Stringer, owner of Stringers`Mausoleum & Shrine, was so generous to leave a freebie box for all of us (next the subscribe-o-matic) including the lovely Bellazane hair in 8 colors. In my pics I´m wearing it in black and passionberry tipped.

Inside Katatonik`s store at Juicy Bella I´ve found a dollarbie: Rina Dress Pink – isn´t it cute like a button? :-) Look at the back! Rina Dress comes with top, pants, skirt and stockings. For those of you who don´t know Katatonik, there´s  also a lot of wonderful dollarbies at Katatonik`s main store @Axis Mundi.

The pretty Kimono Dress by Wings of Angel I won on a Lucky Board at Toyosu 161, 101, 4000. There are lots of Lucky Boards, changing the letters every 5 minutes or so ……. good chance to win some goodies as this Kimono Dress, or hair, scarf, bracelets, drawings, shoes and so on. Check it out!

Kimono Dress comes with top, pants, skirt, cuffs, obi, boots and parasol. It`s very pretty, wearing it I feel like a japanese Mary Poppins.  And I like this feeling a lot :-)

UPDATE!! Sadly, the Lucky Boards have vanished in the sky or elsewhere …. I´m not sure if this is one of today`s “bugs”,  or the owner has decided to remove them … all I can say is sorry :-(

Next lovely dollarbie dress – it´s called “darker set” – is a design by  Angelwing Fashion. This dress comes  with top, pants, skirt, stockings, armbands, and shoulder clasp. Pretty pretty, huh? :-)

Worn in all pics are Loli sweet shoes (free) by MAc, a pair of shoes you should have in your inventory, in my humble opinion ,-)

Grab your goodies and enjoy! Thanks to all generous designers :-)

Well, right now this “football-soccer-championship-thingy” is going on here in my hometown Vienna. Honestly, I´m not interested in any sports at all and I´m not familiar with European Football (it´s boring ….. and our guys are …. uhm *coughs*). If you want to know more details about it, please ask Greta Gazov, or my hubby *grin*

Greta was so kind to drop me her “football stuff”, thanks a lot! I´m doing this post only for the reason I love love love Greta`s umbrellas (parasols), and because I´m from Austria, of course *smiles*

Tp over to Greta`s store GaZoV DeSiGnS Isla del Mar 128, 162, 28 and you will find 5 boxes: GOAL contains purse and parasol in white, black and green and matching bangles. GoGER (Germany), GoNETH (Netherlands), GoAUS (Austria) and GoSW (SWISS) have parasols, hair flowers and bangles inside, matching the regional colors of the countries. Hmmm, looks good although you are not a fan of any sports :-)

Also there´s a cute teddy as group gift :-) Go to “all” tab in search, use the phrase “gazov”, it´s the 3th choice, join the group (free), go to notices, click the one dated 5/30/2008, subject “group gift”.

“The rest of the world might not care very much but here in Europe we’re getting prepared for the Euro 2008, the European football championship and of course we are helping you to get into the right mood. We have made a set of three purses (black, green and white) and matching parasols that poof little footballs as well as two sets of bangles in black and white. Also available in our store but only until the German team drops out of the competition. No German win – no freebie, it’s that easy :) Goaaaaaaal”

“Even more cutsie football stuff has arrived in our store now. We have prepared some special fan sets for Germany, our wonderful host countries Austria & Switzerland as well as for our Dutch neighbors – well, they should know why we suddenly love them so much *grins broadly*. All sets are available for zero Lindens and wil be up for grabs until the end of the championship. We wish our neighbors good luck in the ongoing competition.”
