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!

A Winter’s Eve

1 A Winter's Eve sm

I’m sorry for the delay in posting the interior of the 22769 ~ [bauwerk] Little Winter Cottage (Snowtop) by Paco Pooley, available at Wayward Market Dec. 12, 2015 – Jan. 10, 2016. I just couldn’t quite get the photo to look the way I envisioned it. Two days and several hours later, here it is.

There are so many things in this room that I love – the decor, the furnishings, the puppies and the footie pajamas (although they are called Onesies by The Annex, if you’re shopping for them at Christmas on 34th Street). Many of the items come from Wayward Market and Christmas on 34th Street, so you can easily recreate this scene without having to jump all over the grid.

Be sure to check the credits for those other treasures to be found at other shops and events. You can while away your own winter’s eve.

A Winter’s Day

1 A Winter's Day sm

I feel like I’ve been on the top of Santa’s Nice List the last couple of weeks. In addition to Christmas on 34th Street opening last week, the December version of Wayward Market has just opened the gates for even more holiday shopping.

While I don’t usually take wide angle photos, when I saw the Little Winter Cottage from 22769 ~ [bauwerk], I knew I wouldn’t be able to get away with just using a room of the house in my photos. It is just so perfect! It comes in both a snow-capped an no snow version, so you can use it all year round.

I started adding landscaping and external decorations, but realised the atrium couldn’t be photographed bare. So I had to fill it up, too. Which led to another set of photos, showing the interior. I was going to blog both outside and inside today, but I decided I will dedicate a separate post to the indoors. Stay tuned for that one in the next day or two.

I tried to create a picture postcard type scene; I hope I was able to convey the spirit of the season with this shot. I wish you all the blessings of this special time of year, the joy that can be found on a winter’s day.
