Butterfly Kisses

At times the unexpected happens. One might even say it’s magic in the making. Pru and I have had some magical moments over these years. We got to experience one such moment recently. All we did was take a walk into our own yard. Before we knew it we were surrounded by butterfly after butterfly. We don’t know where they came from, but there they were. It was breathtakingly magical and wondrous all at the same time. Them butterfly kisses are oh so sweet, fast, and a bit ticklish. Nearly made me chuckle and I know Pru giggled.
We enjoyed the perfect moment that seemed to last forever. Even though it was over before we knew it. Good thing I was dressed for it. The Men Only Hunt recently started and I jumped at it. I was able to get this great fitting tank at Kartel and these awesome looking shorts from Odiren. They didn’t cost me a single Linden. Nothing like freebies, especially when it comes to Men stuff. The Men Only Hunt will last Until the end of August. You have plenty of time to grab up all the great gifts. They are not all free the prices range from 0L – 10L. That is still a steal if you ask me. So, GUYS get out there and go hunting. Lastly, take a minute to check out the free L’Homme Magazine group gift facial hair at Mister Razzor. It’s worth the effort.

Vespa 50 Special

I always wanted a Vespa.  I longed for the wind blowing in my hair, the freedom of going everywhere without the burden of public transport and maybe even the chance to wear a headscarf for aesthetic reasons.  I’d 100% listen to peppy Italian songs about Vespas just to be a little meta.  I never got around to it, but SL delivers it’s promises of dreams coming true yet again!

Good Vibrations

Bunnie told you the other day about the start of the Good Vibes Hunt.  There are always so many fun things to search for at Toxxic Rhiannyr hunts, and I couldn’t resist the collection from Paper.Sparrow.  Everything is pink!  The avocados!  The carefree summer feeling!  For this hunt, you’ll be searching high and low on one sim for all the items.  I grabbed the super adorable jumpsuit, the sandals (sized for Maitreya and Slink) and the bangles. Each gift from Paper.Sparrow will cost just 25L.  You have until August 14th to grab it all, so head on over to the Good Vibes Hunt as soon as you can!

A Happy Birthday, indeed

Hoooooooleeee COW!  There are a ton of free gifts over at the Second Life 17th Birthday Celebration! I’m pretty sure my Inventory groaned when I got home with all the freebies!  The crew here at FabFree are gonna have a ball showing off so many free gifts.

The whole thing

My entire outfit here is all free gifts from the Second Life 17th Birthday Shop and Hop.  First up is my great little top from Lassitude and Ennui in Sugarplum. This is the ‘Elemental Top’. It comes in this purple as well as red and a teal that are equally cute!

Sizes Available

• Maitreya

My new skirt is the free gift from Adorsy in Gilded. When I picked it up I thought “Sure a simple little skirt, nice.”  But I was SO wrong! Oh, it’s a nice skirt… but it’s not simple. You get  a HUD with sooo many colors and patterns, twenty to be exact! The HUD also has a pantie on or off selection with thirty color selections.

Sizes Available

• Legacy
• Maitreya

Last but not least is my new necklace. This is the ‘Shards Necklace” from GH Gabrielle Hamelin in Frosted. The necklace is resizable for getting a perfect fit. You also get a ‘Tiny’ version of the necklace.

Fabulous Finds 04/03/2020 Edition

Lots of goodies after the cut, click on “Continue Reading” to see them all!

Free Group Gift/Group is Free to Join @Something New

Free and Native Spirit

Who doesn’t like gachas and gifts?! The Imaginarium has started and you’ll find both at this event. I picked up several of the free Imaginairum event group gifts, and played the Petite Mort gacha machine, so I’ve got a lot to share with you. Let’s start with the free stuff!

Imaginairum Group Gifts

All the gifts at the Imaginarium are free. They also require the Imaginarium group, which is free to join. While wearing the group tag, just click the gift box at each participating booth. Most of the boxes are purple. A few of the designers recolored/textured the package.

Why Not?

Many designers put out a free gift, Why Not? put out 2 free gifts for this round of Imaginarium. First, a beautiful piece of wall art with the following written in pretty script: Sometimes you just have to throw on a crown and remind them who they’re dealing with. I’ve heard that saying before, and it always makes me smile. The 2nd gift from Why Not? is a cute primary colored bird house complete with grass and flowers for your yard. Why Not? has 2 booths at the Imaginarium (they are right next to each other). You’ll find 1 free gift at each booth.

Kaya’s Ray of Sunshine 

The Imaginarium gift by Kaya’s is the adorable armoire with the wood cutout tree and blackbird. It comes in the single color version shown. The fun part of this cute freebie is that the cabinet doors, and the drawers all open! Look for this free gift at the booth with the “Vooma Vaccum” gacha.

Inkme

The free Imaginarium gift by Inkme is a cute little stool with a mandala pattern on the cushion. This stool has 4 individual sit poses, and can be copied so you can rez out multiples. The pose menu also has an “adjust” option as well so you can adjust your pose.

RatzCatz

The last of the free Imaginarium gifts for this post comes from RatzCatz. The cute decorative jars with pretty pastel eggs inside are perfect for getting ready for spring and the Easter holiday. Again, don’t forget you’ll need the free Imaginarium group tag.

Petite Mort

I am admittedly partial to Petite Mort’s gachas, it’s true. I just can’t help it when each of these furniture and decor gacha sets are so beautiful. This livingroom gacha set at Imaginarium is called “Native Spirit” and it has an elegantly comfortable southwestern feel. There are 12 total items, including 1 Rare, and an event exclusive which is awarded after 20 pulls. This gacha will cost you just 50 linden per play. The exclusive is a shabby chic table and chairs set. The sofa and armchair both have single sit poses, as do the ottomans, and the metal accent chair. I’ve included the gacha key for this gorgeous set below, and a full list of items in the credits. Have fun Fab Free!

Thankful

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving Fab Free!  As is my wont this time of year, I think about what I’m thankful for.  I am, of course, thankful for my health and job and family, but I’m also thankful for my Fab Free family as well!  Since I’ve been blogging here, I have made friends I’m sure I’ll keep for life, met some great humans, and had a lot of fun at the same time.  So thank you for being a part of my SL.  I’m constantly amazed that I get people reading my words every day, and that in itself is a gift I shall always cherish!

Thankful for Freebies

Now, let’s just get to the freebies, eh Aline?  I got a great cozy sweater today over at Miwas, sized for Maitreya bodies.  I joined their group for free, then stalked their lucky boards for a while!  It didn’t take long for my letter to come up, and then this cute little cropped sweater was all mine.  Make sure you pick up the group gifts on the counter while you’re there!

Falling Leaves

This pose and the falling leaves swirling about me (by WetCat) were a free find I picked up over at The Seasons Story.  I mentioned yesterday that they’re celebrating fall with a massive pile of goodies for you, so make sure you head over there and pick them up.  No group join required!

Oh and by the way, the sim I’m visiting is a great place for any fans of Harry Potter.  I’m hanging out at Hogsmeade, which is a great reproduction of the little town, complete with the Three Broomsticks and the Shrieking Shack!

Happy Northern Turkey Day!

Day into Night

After all of Juli’s posts about how great the SL16B gifts are, I had to check it out for myself. I braved the lag and found a few nice gifts for us guys.

A to Zed

I saw these great shoes were the gift Zed was offering and I was so intrigued, I had to check out the rest of their offerings. I’m rather pleased I did. There are several gifts scattered about the shop. A very smart high necked sweater with a large HUD of colors and this full ensemble suit. I like the unusual choice of a tee shirt instead of a collared shirt and a chain necklace instead of a tie. Sometimes edgy is a good thing.  The ‘Lovers Day’ suit comes with the blazer and shirt combination, the pants, the dragonhead chain, a bracelet and it’s own set of shoes. There is also a matching cocktail dress for the ladies on the women’s side of the shop.

Sizes Included

• Aesthetic
• Belleza
• Classic Mesh – S-L
• Signature – Geralt, Gianni
• SLink
• TMP
• Shoes – SLink and Standard

Head to Toe

Now, about these shoes. The ‘Winklepicker Pikes’ ( it’s a style of shoe or boot worn from the 1950s onward by British rock and roll fans.) are Zed’s official Second Life 16th Birthday Celebration Free Gift. The generous Zed has given us the entire fatpack of the shoes so you should find a color and style that suits your every outfit.

Sizes Included

• SLink
• Standard (Resizable)

Just Breathe

Men’s wear has been somewhat… scarce of late. So I was rather pleased to find a really well made gift set out for the men of Second Life by Breath. There’s also a second jacket and shirt set out that is a mere 50L. I, in fact, helped myself to both generous offerings. You won’t even need a group tag for this one. Thanks, Breath.

There are four versions of the “BB Jacket” set outside on the wall of the Breath store. But at 0L, you can pick up all of them. Each one has a different sleeve design or color. Take a moment, while you’re there, to browse the store. I found the prices to be reasonable and the selection was great.

Sizes Included

• One size fits all

Party Girls

Hi hi Fab Free’rs, from myself and Aline! Have you ever been to a party or an event where they have a hired photographer who goes around taking candid shots, and then you can go to their website to see the photos? This photo of Aline and I reminds me so much of those party photos, which makes sense because the pose is a free Pose Fair gift called “Party Girls” by Flamingo. Also, the matching outfits are part of the Saturday Sale at CoCo that just should not be missed!

So I know I’ve been “Pose Fair Pose Fair Pose Fair” in my last few posts, however I just can’t get over how many awesome free gifts there are just waiting to be picked up. This free gift by Flamingo does require the free-to-join Pose Fair group, so be sure to join and wear that group tag when you click the gift box. This gift includes the two-person pose in pose-ball form.

Now, let’s talk about these outfits. There are four versions of this cheeky tank top and short shorts set by CoCo out early for this week’s Saturday Sale. Aline and I both picked out a favorite, though it was hard to choose one. Clearly we chose well, I mean sweet petite Aline has to be “Thicker Than a Snickers?” right? And Pru is kind of a “Whole Snack” or “snacks” maybe?! Hahaha I’ve added the vendor photo below so you can peep the rest of the sets. If you think these are as much fun as we do, hurry over to CoCo while they are just 75 linden per set.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus)
