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.

Do What You Wanna

1 Do What You Wanna sm

That’s right. If you want to decorate your bedroom in contemporary, shabby chic and Victorian…do it. If you want to wear a revealing top with a sky-high mini skirt and gartered stockings, do it. If you want to shop and style and take pictures and blog…do it. It’s your Second Life. Do what you wanna.

Personally, I chose all of the above.

There is lots of newness in this photo. Check out the credits for what and where.

You know you wanna.

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.
