A new round of The Challenge has begun with this month’s theme of Mediterranean. There are several lovely new offerings, so make sure you head to the creator’s mainstores to take advantage of this classic style.

My favourite this time around has to be the Tuscan Patio by [hate this:home]. The warm colours are the perfect background for the detailed textures and the crackling fire. There are versions with and without the drapes, but I love the mystery they give this cozy build.

Check out The Challenge Blog for all of the goodies this month and find your own Mediterranean favourite.

Pretty stuff I’m showing off:

I ain’t got any. Just sayin’.

But if you’re setting up a store in Second Life, be sure you don’t miss this round of The Challenge. The theme is “Shopping” and there are tons of goodies for your shop, like these security gates by 22769 ~ [bauwerk] (cuffs not included). I even brought along my shopping list, compliments of Kuro, but I can’t get in!

The cute little shop is by [Black Tulip] and perfect for a first-time business owner. In fact, it’s so perfect it’s called “My First Store.”

But don’t listen to me; go hit the stores and see for yourself. Just be warned; if someone offers to show you some special bracelets, grab your credit card and RUNNNNNNNN!

Suitcase Full of Dreams

1 Suitcase Full of Dreams1

I’m packing all my wishes
In a suitcase full of dreams
Big ones, little ones,
Never-to-come-true ones
All the dreams I ever had
And all of those I never will.

I’m sticking out my thumb
With my suitcase full of dreams
East or west, north or south
or somewhere in between.
I’m heading down the highway
With my suitcase full of dreams.

Sorry about that. I just felt like bursting out with a little bit of bad poetry on this Monday evening. Yeah, I know, I should have been hitchhiking in the photo…or changed the poem 😉

Don’t let that stop you from visiting Shutter Field where you can pick up your very own suitcase full of dreams flowers for this round of The Challenge.
