Lu Is Back!

After a hiatus from creating in Second Life, Luana Dawg is back with her brand, Kuro. I have missed Lu’s quirky style and I am thrilled to see she has returned with a rebuild of her Microapartment. It is a cozy, two-room build with lovely detail. I am hoping this is just the first of many great things to come.

[ keke ] also has released recolours of her Gustavian console table and the lovely refurbished spring drawer, which was originally found in the February Deco(c)rate subscription box. They work well together or of course, on their own. They are available at her main store, along with a lot of the other things you can see in the photo, so do a little browsing when you stop in to pick up these goodies. In addition, she has created the spring sprout set for the Mad Easter Egg Hunt. I haven’t done this hunt, but it is a collective hunt with more prizes released the more people play and find eggs. Check out the link for full details.

The Liaison Collaborative should be open by the time I publish this post. The theme of “Rainy Days” is perfect for April and there are loads of showery-themed pretties at the event, including these from Serenity Style and Sway’s. Stop by for your April gear, and don’t forget your umbrella!

A Winter’s Nap

1-a-winters-nap-sm

Whether he climbed off the sled or just chose to ignore its pillows, this little fox found a winter oasis to take his nap.

The sled is from Sway’s for the January round of The Liaison Collaborative. There are two versions – the neutrals style I am showing and a muted version, as well. Each sled has three different colours of pillows through texture change. It is a lovely addition to a winter scene.

The screens are from [ keke ] in the January Deco(c)rate. They come as individual items, but there is also a linked example, which I chose to use for my photo. They are typically [ keke ]: pretty, detailed and delicate. The soft blue goes perfectly with the Frozen Roses and LightFrame from Ariskea, also included in this month’s Deco(c)rate. The distant trees are from Little Branch for TLC.

Put off your winter’s nap; there is shopping to be done!

Rowboat Full Of Honeysuckle

1 Rowboat Rest sm

There are two events you don’t want to ever miss – The Liaison Collaborative and The Chapter Four. TLC opens on the 7th and TCF has just opened today.

Endless Summer is the theme for this month’s round of TLC, so take a peek at some of the fun-in-the-sun items available. The rowboat chair from Sway’s comes in three different colours and features texture-change pillows, plus single and couples poses. It is the perfect way to enjoy the water without worrying about seasickness! Also check out the ouchy knees from Izzie’s – everything from bruises and scrapes to bandaids. This set comes with both tattoo layers and various mesh body appliers, so no matter which body you use in SL, you can have your summer boo-boos on display. And don’t miss out on this updo from NO.MATCH that can go from casual to dressy without having to even pull out your brush!

Of course, TCF has four different shopping choices, with the gacha room always very popular. Take a chance on these gorgeous honeysuckle branches in a vase from [ keke ] and you can’t go wrong. With three sizes and five colours, every spin is a winner. The white styles are rares, but the colours are simply gorgeous. They work equally well indoors or out…as I discovered myself.

While autumn is just around the corner, these lovely items can bring an endless summer to your Second Life.
