A Collector of Mushies

Hi all!  I know it's been a long time since I've posted, and I apologize for that!  I've had alot going on in real life and have just not been able to be on like  I want to.  I'm hoping I can be more regular with my posts again *crosses fingers*.

I'd like to dedicate this post to a precious accessory I absolutely love created by Maena Tammas of Mae Fairy Tale.  First, I adore mushrooms of all sizes, shapes, and colors.  To me, they are so magical and add so much to any kind of fantasy scene you may want to create.  There are so many beautiful and different "styles" here in Second Life.  I decided to go to a sim called Calan Diva to take some pictures for this post, as they have some lovely and colorful mushrooms on display.  I dressed Natalie in a darling outfit created by Elvina Ewing called,  Huldra, then I added a new accessory designed by Maena called Shroom Backpack with Gnome.  It's exactly as it states, a backpack full of colorful mushrooms with a tiny gnome holding a lantern hanging on the side of the backpack.  It is just wonderful and so much fun!  Thus, the little Mushroom faerie starts her collection of enchanted mushrooms.....with the little gnome's help of course!  :)

At the Cottage Boutiques: Mae Fairy Tale

I'd like to recognize another shop at the Cottage Boutiques of Enchanted, that is Mae Fairy Tale, by Maena Tammas. I visited her store not long ago and ended up spending about two hours there taking in all the magical delights. I also ended up spending alot of Lindens! Quite a few of Mae's products can be found on the Enchanted sim. What I love about her items are how unique and interactive they are. One thing I noticed throughout her whole store was BOOKS. Mae Fairy Tale is definitely a book advocate! That's a good thing, because I love books :) She just has an amazing and creative imagination, which truly shines when you visit her main store. Not only does it have wonderful products for sale, it is also worth a visit just to see the store setup and magical touches here and there. Mae is also very artistic and has an art gallery there displaying her very own artwork, and it is for sale. She does beautiful work with all her many venues!
The pictures in this blog are some of the items I've purchased from Mae's store and most are displayed on the sim. Be sure and visit her store at the cottage when you are visiting Enchanted, but also be sure you see her main store :)
Here is a link to her blog: http://maefairytale.blogspot.com/
