Cozy Getaway


We have all seen the Facebook meme’s about “You get to stay in this cabin for a week all expenses paid, but you have no Wi-Fi, would you do it ? ” I have to say that if the cabin looked like this one, I most certainly would accept, as long as I got to bring Troy with me for that front porch swinging and fireplace snuggling. This Bracklinn Fall Lodge by Why Not ? comes with everything seen in the photos ( outside landscaping grass and trees not included. )

Always Be My Puppy


When we talk about children, it is often said that they will always be our babies. With pets, the same is just as true. No matter how big, or how old they get, they will forever be Puppers and Kitties, and whatever other cute baby names you have for your fur babies, or scale babies, or whatever kind you prefer.

This adorable pose from Hexposed may be called Goodbye Summer, but to me it screamed leaf pile and the ever playful Shelby just had to come along to play and poor Goober just needed a good snuggle nap.

You can find the HexPosed – Goodbye Summer set ( 3 pose set ) at Liaison Collaborative from September 8th – October 10th.

Ahoy Me Hearties


Monday, September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Created in 1995 by John Baur and Mark Summers, of Albany, Oregon. The duo proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate. It is the only known holiday to come into being as a result of a sports injury. At first an inside joke between two friends, the holiday gained exposure when Baur and Summers sent a letter about their invented holiday to the American syndicated humor columnist Dave Barry in 2002, who liked the idea and promoted the day.

In honor of this auspicious holiday, I decided it was the perfect time to show off the Pirate’s Bedroom from InkMe, which is available at the mainstore.

Retro Vibes


I am dedicating today’s post to a dear friend Abbey Jenna, because the song that was playing on repeat for the duration of shooting this photo is one that she posted on Facebook.

You can find me at the bar, shuttin’ down Broadway
Going too hard, bat shit crazy
So, turn the night up to ten, the whiskey’s fine, jump in
Going off, off, off, off, off the deep end

The vibes from this song brought me right back to the me I used to be, in my much younger years. The song mentions whiskey and Busch Light, but I was usually drinking Tequila and Natural Light ( I was a broke college student in those days, don’t judge ! ) Drinking and getting bat shit crazy was my signature move for any form of stress, or well, I never really needed a reason.

Maybe one of these days
I’ll pull all my shit together, sit down and do whatever
People do these days
‘Til then, you know, I’m doing okay

I have reached a point in life where I may still not have my shit together, but it is a hell of alot more stable. I am doin’ more than okay, I have reached the stage of my life I like to call “Responsible Adult” – ish. It has been 24 years since we have had a drink, and you could not pay me enough to ever want to do my younger years again. We were a train wreck in our 20’s, we worked way too hard to get where we are, to ever want to go back and have to figure it all out again. Being a responsible 47 year old, is nowhere as boring as we ever though it would be.

I can still listen to the song and enjoy it without wanting to grab a drink and party with the crowd. I can appreciate the music and the waves it is giving off, without wanting to dive right back into them. There are parts of that former life that I do have some really fun memories of, ones that make us smile, and laugh till we have tears, and well, there is a reason we are still known as Crash in the small town we were living in, but I won’t go into that here LOL.

What I will go into is this super cute pose and prop from Something New that they have released for the Spoonful Of Sugar event that is running from September 3rd – 18th. The lifeguard chair comes with 3 poses, lifeguard board and binoculars.

Also, I am going to mention that our dear Abbey is the owner of Abbs-olute Brat and LEVEL UP. You can find her items on marketplace and in your Zooby Animesh Texture HUD. And if you are so interested, she will also pose for taco’s, just check her Flickr, just take note of my ** ADULT CONTENT WARNING **

Summer All Over Again


In recent posts I have mentioned how the end of summer is upon us, and autumn is getting ready to take over. While this is true for those of us in the northern hemisphere, the southern half of the planet is just now sliding into summer. The beauty of Second Life is that you can live your best beach life all year long if you wish to!

This super cool Beach Days set from Bee Designs is available at the mainstore and is sure to help you enjoy the surf and sand, or even around a pool in the yard.

Understanding Magic


Magic, is simply something we can not comprehend with science or logic.

Many moons ago, knowing which herbs and plants would heal you and not kill you, was considered magic. You possessed knowledge that the masses did not, and therefor, the logical explanation, was that you were practicing magic ! Even worse, you got labeled a witch and burned at the stake.

Part of why the world seems less magical, is because of our drive as a race, to prove or disprove all things with logic or science. This drive for understanding, shines a light at those dark places where magic lives. Not necessarily a bad thing, and the advances in medicine, which is a topic for a whole other post, have saved lives, through logical scientific magic.

You can still get your medicinal magic on in SL by popping over to the Cerridwens Cauldron mainstore to pick up this super magical Apothecary Arcanum Rack that is out for the Farmers Market Event ! You can even get some crystals, herbs, shrooms and dragons while you are there too !

A Little Addition


Sometimes it is the little things, that go a long way. That saying applies to say many things in our daily lives, and it is often said so often that we stop giving it any real thought, and the little things get taken for granted, more and more. The little things, are different for everyone. What may be a little thing for one person, may be a huge thing to someone else, and vice versa.

It is that ‘I love you’ text just before you go to sleep, so that your partner on the other side of the ocean knows that the last thought you had before you went to sleep, was of them. It is waking up to an ‘I love you’ text the next morning so that you know, you were the first thing they thought about when they woke up.

It’s remembering what they were wearing the first time you noticed them, at a live music venue, over 4 years ago. Things that make no difference to anything, other than that it makes you smile.

The Kilrenny Conservatory Set from Why Not ? is the perfect addition to your already perfect home as it is created to be placed against the exterior wall of your existing home to add a cozy sitting area, or with its glass walls, the perfect green house addition.

The set includes the seating and interior decor shown with the exception of the white table with the bird photos above it. Those items belong to the Finnart Hall Table also by Why Not ?. Both items are available at the Mainstore.

Doin That Thing We Do


There was a time, when homestead living, was the only life we knew. We loved spending days and weeks landscaping, decorating, taking pictures. Then, pick it all up and start all over again ! We absolutely love the setup and design part of it, but once it is done, we are ready to do something different.

These days, we live in a skydome with a much more limited prim allowance, This has not removed our love for landscaping and decor setup, it just means we do it on a much smaller scale, but we still pick it up when we are done to do something new.

One of our favorite things about decorating, is picking things from multiple sets that still all work together. There are bits and pieces in this scene from the Bee Designs – Southwestern Living Room set that I picked up a couple years ago, that I knew immediately that I wanted to mix in with this pool set.

When it works, it works !
