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.

1 Cake Dreams, Diet Nightmares 2 1024

This was a very happy, very busy weekend for me! I was accepted to blog for two of my very favourite, all-time, super-in-love-with stores, fri.day and [ keke ]! I have blogged plenty of their stuff before, simply because they are two of my very favourite, all-time, super-in-love-with stores, but being all official and stuff just made my weekend 🙂

(Clever segue way coming up)

On top of that Salt & Pepper has just released this awesome corset for We < 3 Roleplay. It all combined to spur me to create a surrealistic bakery dream/nightmare scene. Oh, the joy, the horror of being surrounded by a dozen cakes and being torn between the temptation of diving face first into these delectable tortes or denying myself the pleasure so I still fit into these leggings!

Meh, screw it. They’re stretchy.

*mmfph umm yummmmmm*

If you hurry, you can find the shoes at this round of Kustom9 and there is still plenty of time to get into The Arcade for these scrumptious cakes! You can pick up the bar stool at the [ keke ] mainstore exclusively for the September round of MIX.

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.
