Just When You Thought Your Lindens Were Safe

1 Summer Romance sm

Maybe you really did think your bank account was safe. Then the calendar turns over to the 7th, and not only does The Liaison Collaborative open, but so does a brand new event, Bon Voyage! And if you make it through those two events, the page flips to the 8th, and Collabor88 opens. Oh well, no use saving for a rainy day – go forth and spend now!

The Liaison Collaborative this month has tons of lovely things, as you can see from my hair, the lanterns, the stool, the gorgeous olive tree and my pose. Dig into my credits, and you will find all of the details on these gotta-have items. I’ve been teasing with stuff from this event, but now that it is open, you can go see for yourself.

1 Summer Sweetheart sm

Do check out my shoes from fri.day for Bon Voyage. This event, which runs for a full month (August 7 – September 7) is themed around a specific country. The inaugural round centres on Japan. Think kawaii, think adorable, think bunny-eared stockings to go with your heels! The stockings are optional so you can choose to wear the shoes alone, but with that wriggly little nose, why would you?

Even after splurging on these two events, makes sure you save a few coins for the 5th anniversary edition of Collabor88. {what next} brings you this delightful summer house, which will perk up any corner of your garden. I simply adore the bi-fold doors and the metal roof with the finials. (As an aside, did you know you could find that term by googling “pointy bits on a roof?” 😉 ) You can also pick up the potted olive trees – obviously the little brothers of the giant version from The Little Branch from TLC – with the summer house.

So, the moral of the story is…your Lindens are never safe if you stop by my blog!

The Hell’s Haven

1 At Hell's Haven sm

I have felt a bit lost since Furillen closed a couple of weeks ago. It is where I would go to just unwind and as it turned out, where I took some of my favourite photos. So I have been wandering around the grid, trying to find someplace that gives me the same inspiration.

I have visited a lot of wondrous sims, but more often than not, I have just been a spectator, never pausing long enough for a photo.

That changed yesterday when I visited The Hell’s Haven. It is misty and haunting, but much more of a haven than hell. Snoobjohnson, the builder, has chosen a very effective Windlight setting – something that I have discovered few builders have done. While this photo is post-processed, I used the region settings for the shot.

The whole point of my trip – other than to explore – was to find a setting to show off the Harper clogs from fri.day for Shiny Shabby. Maybe I’m a bad blogger for not just doing a “look of the day” shot that shows nothing but the fashion l’objet du jour, but that’s just not my style. I prefer to try to make them a focal point in a lovely location.

At Hell’s Haven, I hope I accomplished that.
