A Summer Hideaway

Happy weekend, fabulous readers! I was too lazy to even get my virtual self dressed today, so I thought I would share a few home and garden freebies instead.

Shelter Me

First off is this lovely Garden Shelter, which is a group gift from KraftWork. It’s a dark wood on the inside, and it looks like it was carved into a rock on the backside. The whole thing clocks in at just 9 LI. The 3 lights on the back wall are included.

Next is the cozy bench. DMG set out this Outdoor Seating as their June group gift. At 5 LI, it includes animations for singles as well as cuddles.

The pretty planters you see here are the latest group gift from Shutter Field. The Tuscan Planters come in a tall version (on the left) and a short version (on the right). Both are 2 LI each.

Because They Were There

I wasn’t looking for them, but I managed to pick up a few extra gifts while I was out:

• See the little bird on the arm of the Outdoor Seating (if not, you can click the photo to make it bigger). He’s a Spring Blue Jay and can be found as a free gift at La Galleria. This cutie is just 1 LI and has an “intermittent sound script” with touch for on/off. Note: there are quite a few other gifts at this store, so be sure to take a look around.
• The Plaster Candles on the table are a free gift at Apple Fall. They are 2 LI and you can turn the flame on and off with a touch.
• Last but not least are the Macarons in a Box on the table. These are also a free gift at Apple Fall and are just 1 LI. Aline showed them in her post HERE, but they might not have been a free gift at the time. Be sure to grab them NOW while they’re free!

Enjoy!

❤ Serena

Cozy Jammies & Netflix

Good evening Fab readers! It’s been a looooooong, cold week and Calle and I decided it was due time to get together for a Netflix marathon and big bowl of buttered popcorn.  I know we are looking adorable and peaceful, but seriously… we are going to have to flip a coin or call in a referee or something. I want to watch Lost and she wants to watch Dr. Who.  We have taken up so much time trying to decide what to watch that all of the popcorn is gone.  Smoky may have to decide for us…

Whatever it is that we wind up watching, it will be fabulous in this big comfy couch!!  You can play for this RARE Pull Out Sofa by Vespertine at The Arcade Gacha for 50L a try.

We are both wearing Battle Fairy’s latest release called Cozy Jammies which is perfect for a night of TV! These are available in four colours, priced at 10L a piece at The Wash Cart Sale until January 6th.

Thanks for joining me, Calle!  You win, we can watch Dr. Who 🙂

The Heat Wave Event: Battle Fairy

Good morning Fabulouses!  I hope you are enjoying your weekend 🙂  Today I am excited to show you this spicy summer outfit that I put together for just 20L – including the hair!

In the past notices of the Burley Republic inworld group – (which is the official group for Taketomi and is free to join), you will find a free gift sent out on 5/25 that includes a male and female hair in a ton of colours.  The female gift is MeiLing and it comes with texture change hair accessories too.    (Copy & paste this text into local chat – secondlife:///app/group/3beca388-cdae-2c74-fffe-bb3a50c247bb/about )

(Please note that the headband is not included with the hair.  I picked this C’est La Vie Native Headband at a previous event as a gift.)

The outfit I am wearing today is called Loose Fitting Set 2 and can be found on the Battle Fairy display at The Wash Heat Wave Event.  For just 10L you get the pants and the top! This set is also available in green/purple for the same price.  My Sunflower Summer Sandals by Battle Fairy (for Slink Mid Feed) can also be found at The Heatwave for 10L.  In fact,  there are 5 different prints for just 10L.

As you can see from the display photo below, there are five pairs of sandals, four summer outfits, and unisex boots available for 10L, and Battle Fairy’s 50L feature is the Dirty Feet Maitreya Applier.

Quality Time

A friend of mine just sent me an IM and it went sort of like this…

Loves Friend:  Hey, what you up to?
Love Trill:  Oh, just sitting in a forest with some baby wolves.
Loves Friend: O.o – That is the weirdest reply I have ever heard from that question.

It’s funny to think about the things we say and do here on the grid that are absolutely ridiculous in RL, but make sense in SL.  This must be one of those times…  Can you think of others?  How about when you tell someone “be right there, I’m just changing my skin!”.  Forgive me, I’m rambling… I know, I know – you are here for the free stuff!

Ok, so…  this adorable beige Bow Tie Dress is the new group gift at S@bbia!  Once you join the group you can pick up this group gift, as well as slap the lucky boards that are still offering the prizes that I have previously blogged [HERE].  The Bow Tie Dress is available in mesh and fitmesh, and the group is FREE to join!  You can snag these FREE knee socks on the counter at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Manduca/134/225/601 on your way out too!

My little Baby Wolf friends can be found at The Gacha Mania by .TMC. for 38L per play.  There are several little wolves to play for – some that you can hold, some that you rez, and even a couple little houses for you to make homes for them.  Very cute stuff!

Driving Miss Daisy

How are you all today? I hope you are having a great week so far! Here is some news about some great freebies and offers for you to enjoy!

!Soul have been very generous over the last few days with their free group gifts and today is no exception. They have a pack of two stripe dresses as their group gift today, which are perfect for a summers day bike ride! They come with appliers for lolas too! My adorable bicycle is from the Vespertine gacha at The Dreamers Factory and is only L$50 a play! There are some really adorable bicycles in there and they all come with cute poses! I also found a beautiful little pearl bracelet set by Imeka there for L$50 which comes in three pastel colours. My little birdy friend is called Miss Daisy and she is from the 8F8 gacha which is also at the same event! I think she is really loving the handlebar ride!

Here you can see a better view of the blue stripe version of the dress by Soul. The Eliza Cork Platform Wedges are by L.Warwick and are available at a discounted price at the July round of My Attic. There are lots more colours to choose from! Please note that you will need the SLink Mid High Feet to wear these.

Here I am wearing the red stripe version of the dress by Soul. My fabulous new hair is courtesy of ISON! It is called Bee and you can find it at their stand at The Hair Fair! I just love it. I adore curly hair styles and I am always looking out for more! It seems harder to make them with Mesh hair these days but I do hope very much that more and more designers will do more curly hairstyles in the future!

The two adorable necklaces are by Tokame and are the second part of the group gift freebie you can find at The Dreamers Factory. You can see the Unicorn Clutch bag which also included, in my previous post here. Here is a close up of the two cute little characters inside the little cages!

I hope you will all have a wonderful day with all that you do! Make it fabulous dear readers!
