Sail Away, Sail Away

1 Paper Boat

Sail away, sail away.

My boat may be made of paper, but I am setting off into the mist, ready to face whatever crosses my path. No anchor, no life vest – just me and the open sea. No storm is too fierce, no gale is too strong to keep me from sailing wherever the winds take me. Across the seven seas or into a secluded lagoon, I will be a valiant sailor.

Come along with me, as we sail away, sail away.

This photo was inspired by Johnfrancis Laville’s latest release. I have more than one sailor hat in my inventory, but none as perfect as this. You can find it at the JfL Hats mainstore.

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.

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.
