Still Life With Redhead

1 Eve & Apple sm

As Christmas nears, I am getting busier and busier. I know that’s nothing special; everyone is these last few weeks. The season of giving requires a lot of taking, too: taking of time, energy, money and patience as we battle through the traffic and crowds to complete our Christmas preparations.

When it gets to be too much, it is nice to be able to just sit for a while, enjoy the calm of our surroundings and just breathe. No need for movement; just blending in with the scenery.

You can create your own still life* by just checking through the shopping list I have provided below.

Winter Swing

1 Winter Swing sm

Kicking back and relaxing in a lovely swing in a snow-filled glen is my idea of a perfect occasion right now. As I sit in shorts and a t-shirt, it is a very humid and sticky 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) at 7:49 pm. Even after having spent 15 years in Australia, I can’t get used to the idea of Christmas in the summer.

No matter which hemisphere you call home, you can find all of the gifts you need for your Second Life holidays at Christmas on 34th Street, which just opened a few hours ago. In addition to the swing from :Moon Amore:, you can also find the dress and snowflake necklace from Salt & Pepper, the shorter necklace from *YS&YS*, the shoes from Essenz and the hat/hair combo from MINA Hair . These are just a few of the exclusive, transferable items you can pick up at this gift-giving event.

Swing on by and wrap up all of your shopping in one stop.
