Market Day

1 Market Day

The apples are picked, the harvest is done. Now it’s just a waiting game until I can load my wares and head to the market.

If I were my mother, I would have made apple butter and pressed cider to take along; but I’m afraid those skills passed with her. Instead, I’ll just sell the fruit, fresh from the trees. They are juicy and sweet, with just a bit of a tart bite to them – perfect, in other words.

And no, I didn’t do my picking in this outfit; it is special, just for Market Day. I have donned my new hat from JfL, and of course, these boots from fri.day are made just for looking pretty in; I would have scuffed the heels if I had tried to climb a ladder while wearing them!

The hat is a new release you can find at the JfL Hats mainstore and the boots are available at the September round of Collabor88.

Before I go, I will let you in on a secret. I tucked a dozen or so apples aside in my kitchen for when I return. I may not be able to make cider, but my mother’s pie recipe is one that I have ingrained in my memory.

Tired of Waiting

1 Tired of waiting crop

Just look at me. Gorgeous! Check out those shoes – aren’t they everything delicate and feminine and girly? I’m just spectacularly pretty in pink today!

Yet, here I sit, waiting. For…I’m not quite sure. But I’m tired of waiting. Time to get off my land or platform and DO. Something. Anything. (Besides shopping.)

Taking pictures has been great therapy, but I’ve kind of forgotten why I originally joined Second Life – to meet people, have fun, socialise. Well, not exactly forgotten…just forgotten how to.

I’m digging through my “Little Book of How to Have Fun” and reading the instructions. I’ll be there, I promise.

Soon.

Speaking of soon, if you want these shoes, you need to hurry! They are from fri.day and available at Festival of Sin II in the Vanity section until tomorrow.

Stunned

1 Stunned

Thousand-yard stare. Blunted affect. Stoned?

I wasn’t quite sure what to call this picture. It really was a photograph I stumbled upon while shooting this new sweatshirt by Apple May Designs. I wanted a set that was kind of dingy and dark. I rezzed the skybox and began pulling out stuff to furnish it. One of the first items I grabbed was a stool…which you can’t actually see in the photo. While digging through my inventory for more clutter, I plopped down on it. As I cammed around to find the box I had down to rez things on, I happened to see this image.

The angle was right. The lighting needed just a bit of tweaking. Click. Click. Job done.

Yeah, that was it. Shocked, aren’t you? I was.

So the title is actually quite simple:

Stunned.
