There Is A Story To Be Told

1 Attic Treasures sm

But I’m not going to tell it.

Some of the central parts of the story can be found in this photo. I found them while following the Saint Pete City Hunt that tells the story of Tatiana and Nickolai. Written by Skippy Beresford, it is a lovely little tale that will allow you to wander the latest Neva River Estates sim, enjoy the gorgeous St. Pete City, and pick up a few souvenirs. They are provided by [ zerkalo ], so you know they will be beautifully made.

Also beautifully made are the pendant lights and hogweed accessories from [ keke ]. Yes, Kean Kelly can even make weeds look delicate and attractive. The lights come in three lengths and the hogweeds come in both a plain version (not shown) and a shimmery style. And see the weeds in the vase on the table? That is the gift from [ keke ] for the 2nd anniversary of Kustom9, which begins on October 15th.

In every dusty attic, in every unopened box, in the bristles of every weed, there is a story to be told.

The Tears of a Clown

1 Tears of a Clown_004

Now there’s some sad things known to man
But ain’t too much sadder than
the tears of a clown
When there’s no one around, oh yeah

Smokey Robinson – “The Tears Of A Clown”

Smokey sang about the loss of a love in this song, but these particular lyrics – and the clown’s tears – can apply equally to animals that are lost, abandoned or abused. In the United States, the ASPCA is the group that is tasked with the humane treatment and prevention of cruelty of animals. To benefit this organisation, Seraphim has put together a massive event that will run from November 6-26. Over 100 designers will come together with circus-themed items with donations going to the ASPCA.

You can check out the Cirque de Serpahim blog or Flickr page for a sneak-preview of some of the items that will be available. SLurls to the two (yes, two!) sims will be published there when the event opens and I’ll be adding them into my update posts on and after November 6.

Start saving your pennies for this event; you don’t want to be the one to make the clown cry.

How Does An Angel Hide Her Tears?

1 H22O_035

She always cries in the rain…

I went wandering on the weekend, looking for a suitable location to show off the new rain hat by JfL Hats. I stumbled across several photos of H22O on Flickr, and upon arrival, I knew I had found the perfect place. Designed by the same creator of one of my favourite now-gone sims, 2304 Rain, it has the same haunted yet awe-inspiring feel that had me lost for hours simply exploring, taking photos and soaking in the atmosphere.

It is definitely worth a visit.

Also worth visiting is the upcoming event, The 24 Square. Mark your calendar; it runs from September 5-13 and you can find this beautifully made hat by Johnfrancis Laville, one of six colours in the box. It is Materials Enabled, so it perfectly captures the appearance of being wet. It is available in limited quantities, so don’t miss out.
