Cleo’s Fairy Tale

1 Cleo Fairytale

It’s that time of year when most sales events in Second Life are centred around winter and Christmas. If you need a break from the cold, festive season, yet want to spruce up your home, the theme for The Challenge this month is “Fairy Tale.”

My favourite this month is the Ice Fairy Princess Daybed and Fairytale Book Table from Cleo Design. They are whimsical and pretty and fun.

Have Ruby Slippers, Will Travel

1 Something Fishy1

If you read my in-world profile, you will see this:

I’m an American who clicked her heels and landed in Oz. I’ve found the world looks remarkably similar from down under (and I don’t get dizzy hanging upside down anymore!) Maybe one day I’ll find those ruby slippers and end up in Kansas, of all places!

It used to say something different, but being an American in Oz, the theme has always been the same. Finally, I found those ruby slippers…now just to figure out how to program the GPS so I don’t end up in a cornfield and I’m all set to go!

These shoes have featured in several of my blog posts. They are a lovely little prop, part of a long-ago-purchased set from Cleo Design. I think of them as my link to home whenever the distance seems to be too great. I use them in a photo shoot and I imagine there are no such things as witches (wicked or otherwise), yellow brick roads fraught with danger or talking Tin Men or Scarecrows.

On another note, I wanted to give a big thank you to Fae Eriksen, owner and designer of *Fishy Strawberry*. I recently applied as a blogger for her brand and while I wasn’t selected, I received a lovely thank you note and 500L in store credit. I only ever expect to hear back from a designer if I am chosen to blog for them, so this was a very sweet gesture. I was truly touched. Thank you, Fae, and I’ll still keep buying your pretties…and your little dog, too!

Memories In The Attic

1 Army_018

A trip up to the attic to clear out the cobwebs turns into a visit down memory lane. She can hear the whispers of forgotten ancestors in the letters and mementos she finds. This is not junk to be discarded; this is a personal history of those who have passed.
