Bringing Spring To A Close

I thought since Spring is just about over and Summer right around the corner, I would focus on a springtime outfit. When I was visiting Elven Glen the other day, I found a design in one of their elven shops that I thought was particularly pretty. The designer, Lilah Fairey, had made several other choices, too, but this one stood out. I liked it because it was definitely unique, had alot of class and an innocence about it, along with being simple and lovely. It's called, Elven Lore Spring, and consists of shirt, pants, undershirt, spring skirt, underpants, jacket and gloves. The "pants" are a white flower vine crawling down each bare leg, while the "undershirt" is a grouping of beautiful white flowers sprinkled here and there all over the bodice area. The "gloves" are also little white flowers on the hands, while the "jacket" is of a sheer chiffon. A pretty, feminine belt surrounds a lovely flexi mini made of the same chiffon giving the look a sweet, sexy touch.

Shopping Spree

I needed some new clothes in a most urgent way, so decided to do some shopping the other day. I happened upon a store that carried all varieties of elven and medeival enticements. Yes, I indulged in a few new outfits, well, I'd say about 7 or so. I tend to spend alot of time in one place until I know I'm making a good decision and getting the most for my money. I finally arrived back home with my purchases and could hardly wait to try them all on! That's what I spent the rest of my evening doing. I took my time with each outfit, looking at each one in the mirror as I did a few model spins per piece. I loved all of them, although there were a couple that were my favorite, so I know I'll end up wearing them twice as much or more than the others. Now I feel prepared to explore Elven Forest, a place I'd heard so much about. I think I'll sleep now, and do that tomorrow. Yep, shopping is hard work and tires a girl out!

My Home

I have been so happy with my home this time after moving several times before. I've lived on the beach, in a snowy cabin, with my elf friends, and now, on a beautiful island called, Isle of Kellamore. I happened to run across an ad for land on the island through SL search and went to take a look. The island is owned and run by a very nice couple who have built a "central park" area in the middle of the island for anyone to enjoy. It contains wildlife, beautiful trees, plants, flowers, a quaint chapel, and more to explore. They own another island called Isle of Ballymore which is devoted to art and music.

I've always changed my decorating style over the years from rustic, to contemporary, to traditional and now I'm trying out old, medeival style and I rather like it. It goes well with the house, which is a Tudor style castle I discovered shortly after I found the island. It's built by a very talented creator named, David Avedon, who owns Old World Creations on Delight Land. It's called Wizards Keep and is only 99 prims total!! Amazing! I love anything with low prims, because I tend to use every last one! On top of being low in prims, it's unbelievably overflowing with features. You get ALOT for your money...what I call a great buy. You know how alot of homes you look at are so plain and the layout is too simple? In otherwords, just a square room with a fireplace and all wood walls and floors...maybe an upstairs with one extra room...that kind of simple. Not Wizards Keep! It was full of surprises when I looked at it. In fact, I didn't buy it the first time because I always look at several options then narrow the choices. When I went back to look at it, I found new features I hadn't noticed before. Those that stand out in my mind are the trap door in the floor of the living area and the ladder to a third bi-level upstairs. If you click on the trap door it opens and you can do whatever you want within that. Of course you have to dig the land to the size you want and that's just what I did. When you open the trap door, all you see is water. Once you step in, you fall into a magical aquarium! It's a little haven of it's own, with places to sit and watch the fish or be a mermaid if you so desire. No, if you enjoy castles and old styles, you'd love this home. You're welcome to come by for a visit anytime and I can show you around :) "Creoso, a'boramin!" This means, "Welcome to my dwelling" in Tolkien's Elven.
