Dinner At 8

1 Dinner at 8

It is a limited menu for a very discerning diner. The table is set, the candles are lit and there is a fresh breeze gently fluttering the curtains. All that is missing is my dinner companion. If he doesn’t come soon, I may have to start without him.

Shiny Shabby has just opened and among the fabulous goodies you can pick up are the Zee Dining Set (for swingers) by Kuro and a great set of sitting poses by !bang. Also, Apple May Designs has released this sexy corset, which works well with the previously-released Kia lingerie set. The red version of the corset is available at the main store this weekend for only 25L. You can also pick up the lovely necklace (with matching earrings) at Salt & Pepper.

I was sure the lure of these new additions would ensure my date arrived on time!

Is it just my imagination, or is that moose smirking at me?

Jane’s Bath

1 Jane's Bath

Jane’s a lucky girl. She has a lovely bath in a garden, replete with pretty, shiny things. She has the option of allowing herself to air dry after a long, relaxing soak. She has flowers and grass rustling in the breeze, a slow-dripping shower from the watering cans, and sparkling lights to mimic fireflies in the daytime.

She could probably spring for some snazzier towels, but with that air-drying option, she’s still in good shape.

Almost everything in this photo comes from Shiny Shabby. And even the shabby bits are glorious. This round has a huge wow-factor, and I have the diminished bank account to prove it.

I think I’m going to sneak into Jane’s bath to soak away the soreness I developed while flitting around this amazing event.

You can travel the world only to find what you are looking for at home

1 You can travel the world only to find what you're looking for at home

Traveling can be a marvelous adventure. An opportunity to experience cultures and visit locations far from your own piece of the world. It can teach you more than any book or university could. It can be a time to relax, recharge and rejuvenate.

Or it can be a journey to find something you seek. Whether that is said adventure, love or simply yourself, it is not always the answer. Sometimes you can travel the world, only to find what you are looking for at home.

The theme for The Challenge this month is “Globetrotter.” Check out the participant’s main stores to find your own travel souvenirs.
