Two-Stop Spring Shopping

1-two-stop-spring-shopping-sm

If you are ready to refresh your Second Life landscaping with lovely spring decor, there is no need to go event-hopping or even shop-hopping. Most of what you need can be found in two places. How easy is that?

{what next} is participating in Fifty Linden Friday with these gorgeous tulip planters in a multitude of colours. The planters themselves are texture-change so you can find the right style to suit yourself. Because they are copy/modify, I was able to edit the planters, make the bases transparent and plant a few in the ground. It is a great way to add bursts of colour to blank spots in your garden. All of the other items from {what next} in the photo are available at the main store, too. One stop; many goodies!

In addition to the planters, there are some pretty tulip bouquets to grace your Second Life home interior. These, too, are available at the FLF price of, yes, 50L!

After your quick visit to {what next}, head over to the [ keke ] main store for some new and older gems. The simple garden divider and very versatile old stonesteps are new releases, while the flower circles, little tree and glass hearts are a bit older. Older, however, does not mean tired or irrelevant; it means classic and timeless, as so many of [ keke ]’s pieces are.

After this very simple shopping trip, you should have plenty of energy left to make a start on your springtime garden. I can even guarantee no blisters or dirty knees after planting 🙂

A bit of a romantic vintage look today, thanks to the beautiful creations from 22769 ~ [bauwerk], Apple Fall, {what next}, [ keke ] and more. There are several romance-themed events going on this month, and The Liaison Collaborative is a standout. But don’t forget about the joy of wandering into a main store to see the latest releases and perhaps finding a vintage gem. [ keke ] has a few recent main store releases, along with classics you may have missed before. My photo shows several of these hidden treasures; you will just have to visit to get them for yourself.

I found myself relaxing in this vintage room, dreaming romantic dreams…filled with puppies, poufs and pom-poms.

Christmas Comfy

This is that moment everyone dreams of during the Christmas holidays; when all of the gifts are wrapped, all of the decorations are up, the house is clean, the groceries are tucked away in the kitchen until Christmas morning. This is the moment when you just flop down in your most comfy jammies and breathe a sigh of contentment.

While technically not jammies, the Willow Jumpsuit from *Just BECAUSE* is definitely comfy. And cute. And perfect for the holidays! This version, which comes with four holiday textures, is the the group gift from Annie for Christmas. Everyone loves getting presents at Christmas and this is simply a wonderful bonus from one of Second Life’s best designers.
