A Lavender Moment

Today’s the last day of the Lavender Hill hunt, organised by Monochrome Hunts. You can do the hunt in any order (all SLurls are on the website – as are hints and gift previews), and with about 20 stores, it’s short and sweet. So whether you’re a lover of all things lilac and lavender, or you just want small touches to brighten your look (with hair, make up, apparel and jewellery) or your living room, this is a wonderful way to add radiance to your (SL) life!

My little russian chapel hideaway

My Little Russian Chapel Hideaway

Ooops, I believe today is the last day of the With Love hunt, and therefore the last day to pick up the gorgeous pocket size Russian (Polish? Lithuanian? Hungarian?) Skov Kapel that is the hunt gift from Post. Hint: Quoth the raven, ‘Nevermore.

The rest is basically shopping my inventory, except the radio from Tee*fy, originally from The Arcade Gacha, but I bought it at a yard sale. (A huge Yay!!!! for those…)

Spring into action

I confess, I’ve been a really bad shopper of late. Partly that’s because I’ve been hibernating and haven’t logged in much, and partly it’s because I look at my inventory, and the last thing I need is MORE stuff. Yeah, yeah, I know, it doesn’t actually take space (the way in does in real life), and I have a reasonably organised inventory, but it’s psychological, you know?

So for anybody who feels the same way I do…

…welcome to a monthly 6-monthly& VERY occasional post about rearranging the furniture and combining old favourites that you may already own.

New Home Christmas

Ain’t it typical? You move into a new place, and your furniture gets lost somewhere in between here and there, apart from a few cherished pieces. Thankfully, what you’ve got is enough to cozy up with a cup of hot chocolate in front of the TV watching James Bond reruns, so all is well in the world after all.

New Home Christmas

PS: most of this stuff isn’t new, and some of it might not even be still available (although some of it will be); I just wanted to share a feeling more than anything else.

PS2: when it comes to decorating for Christmas, I’m a great believer in less is more. (Actually, I’m a great believer in less is more at all times.)
