Conversing with Spirits

Hello Fab Free. We’ve made it more than half way through the week, hallelujah! Recently I did a bit of wandering through Second Life and stumbled across the Tlalli event. I’d never been before. Let me just tell you, the setting for this shopping event is gorgeous. It’s a beautiful Latin themed event in a vibrant setting that made me feel like I had been transported to a quaint town in Mexico. The setting alone is well worth the visit to the Tlalli event. There I picked up a few of the gifts some vendors had out while enjoying the scenery. Speaking of gifts, I also picked up the new group gift at SPIRIT, and a thank you gift by Rosary. From here I’ll get to telling you about all these fabulous finds. I hope you enjoy them!

Tlalli Gifts

Zinnias

I think this llama succulent planter is just the cutest. It is a free gift at the Tlalli event by Zinnias. This little guy is completely free, just look for the gift box at the Zinnias booth at the Tlalli event. No group is required.

Cherry Bunny

If you’re wondering about the bright green sugar skull in my hand, it too is a gift at Tlalli. You’ll find this 5 linden gift at the Cherry Bunny booth. What is it? It’s a typer! Wear it and it will appear invisible until you begin to type in open chat. Then the sugar skull will appear in your hand, you’ll give it a little shake and appear to listen to it. So cute!

SPIRIT

Next up, this cute deep grey colored sweater is the newest group gift at SPIRIT. It could be worn as a dress or a top. I found it fit nicely over my Blueberry jeans (listed in the credits). The sweater has a hud with it that allows you to change the color of the cute side ribbons. The SPIRIT group has a join fee of 25 linden, and there are past group gifts available as well.

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

Rosary

My manicure is a lovely free gift from Rosary as a Thank You gift to all customers. There is no group needed for this pretty set of nails. The set has a few preset options with very pretty floral accent nails. Each hand size included also has several nail lengths to choose from. You’ll find this free gift waiting in a little package on the desk at the Rosary main store.

Sizes Included: Maitreya (short, medium, large, xl, xxl), Belleza (short, medium, large, xl, xxl), Slink (short medium, large, xl, xxl), Legacy (short, medim, large, xl, xxl)

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.

Furnishings Friday #17 – Falling Leaves & Lost Keys

I can hardly believe we are on week #17 of Furnishings Friday already!  I started this challenge for myself because I was having trouble motivating myself to show non avatar items like clothing,skins, accessories lol and there are just so many wonderful and free home furnishings that needed a place here on Fabulously Free in SL.  Since then, I have noticed that I am even starting to use them on unFridays sometimes too YAY!

Anyways… This week for Furnishings Friday, I am going to feature a few prizes from the Falling Leaves Hunt.  I will be showing more of it soon, but today seemed like a good day to start the first round!  The Falling Leaves Hunt began on October 3rd and will run until October 24th.  All of the gifts are free, and are autumn home and garden themed items.  You can find their official blog at the following link with a hunt preview, hints and a complete list of slurls – http://thecookiejarcommunity.wordpress.com/falling-leaves-hunt/

In the photo at the top of this post, I am digging furiously through the Dark Walnut Table With Accessories made by Park Place for those keys I can never seem to find lol.  This gift from Park Place includes the table with a drawer that opens and closes, as well as all of the pictures and table accessories you see.

Below, I am taking a few minutes to check my messages in a little cozy space I have made for myself with a few of the prizes.  First, I started with the Designer Prims Falling Leaves Studio Skybox that is just 17 prims.  The animated sofa (seats two w/ accessories), rug and ottoman with steaming coffee is the gift you can find at PRIME.  Zinnia’s is the designer of the Bye-Bye Birdie Coffee Table Set.

Another Falling Leaves Hunt prize that I couldn’t wait to show off is the Ochun Ottoman with Sits that also came with the
Autumn Wall Decal shown from Wings of Enchantment.  The ottoman is draped with a cozy blanket and has such cute, lazy sits.

On a side note…  the gorgeous peach mesh coat I am wearing is just 15L in the Ricielli Halloween Hunt 🙂  It’s #1… and.. If you’d like more information on hunts around the grid, check out our SLHunts Page at the top!
