The Elven Girl

Sander Sunborne 2 Comments

It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.

J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

Being an elf, Tamuril Oronar was light on her feet and in just 1-2-3 quick steps she had climbed up and now she was sitting atop of the Sari-Sari Ale Barrel Cart, smiling and waving for him to join her. Hildigard Sackville of The Shire was not only impressed, he had never seen such beauty before and since he was a hobbit, too short to climb the big ale barrel in a graceful manner, he stepped up on the drivers seat and stood on his toes to be able to look at her. “Here, let me lend you a hand,” Tamuril reached out her hand and smiled even brighter when she saw Hildigard blushing as he took her hand and let her help him up.

The Sari-Sari Ale Barrel Cart is available right now at The Solstice: The Fellowship Event. It is original mesh, textures and bento poses. 15 LI. Copy/Modify. Can sit up to 4 sitters: Each sitter has their own 2 unique poses + 2 couples poses. More from Sari-Sari also at The Solstice: The Fellowship are the Rustic Road Sign and the Village Notice Board.

Summer Forgotten

and all at once, summer collapsed into fall.

The Forgotten Summer Pool Set by DaD is such a treat for an Autumn scene, I love it! In the set you’ll find everything you need for your pool and pool area, although a bit weathered and worn from months of neglect…

The Garden Chess set from InsurreKtion is beautiful in Autumn, Spring or Summer alike. This 8-piece set is decor only. You can’t play chess with it but you can decorate the board with the pieces however you like. White and Black texture change upon Touch for the planters/chess pieces.

Oh The Leaves Are Turning Gold

I don’t know how it is everywhere else but way up north where I live, the birch trees are now yellowing and soon the rowan trees will follow, turning yellow and red. Fall colors are amazing.

The L’Auzon is the most recent release from La Petite Vie and it’s another addition to their line of Provencal style buildings. The L’Auzon is available at the early September round of Cosmopolitan. Rez it with or without the pergola. The vines are tintable, so instead of green I made them orange for this scene. Color HUD included for Exterior/Interior Walls & Shutters/Door. Full version is 43 Li and 10 x 8,5 m.

The Little Branch always include a season changer menu in their trees, which you bring up by clicking the tree. In this picture I’m showcasing their American Chestnut Tree v2 which is available right now at TMD. The American chestnut (Castanea dentata) is a large deciduous tree of the beech family native to eastern North America. The American chestnut was one of the most important forest trees throughout its range and was considered the finest chestnut tree in the world. The species was devastated by chestnut blight, a fungal disease that came from Chinese chestnut trees introduced into North America from East Asia. It is estimated that between 3 and 4 billion American chestnut trees were destroyed in the first half of the 20th century by chestnut blight after the blight’s initial discovery in North America in 1904. Read more on Wikipedia.

Our Cabin Getaway

Sander Sunborne 2 Comments

I’m not planning on going on a vacation this year but if I was, it would be to stay at a cabin or a house far away from people. Oh, that would be no different from where I live!

For those who wants their own little getaway cabin, there’s the Summer Tree House Patio from Crowded Room that’s available right now at Summer Camp, it is surprisingly roomy! Get to your vacation spot in the classic summer mobile; the [777] Wombi by 777 Motors, which is also at Summer Camp. Splash around in the Oval Frame Pool by CHEZ MOI, you can find it at Cosmopolitan. Keep the puppers cooled down with the Doggo Sprinklers from Krescendo. Yes, yes, they will water the grass as well. Yes I mean the sprinklers. The Doggo Sprinklers are available at Black Fair. I found a nice outdoor shower for my cabin getaway over at the InsurreKtion mainstore; the Ibiza Set. And hey, Muniick has made a Classic Webstrap Lawn Chair and Campfire Set bundle for Happy Weekend, only 60L$! This is the final weekend for Muniick’s 2nd anniversary sale which ends Sunday night so hurry on over to the Muniick mainstore and grab some deals before they are gone!

A cabin vacation is more fun if your special person is there and… Puppers! Which brings me to a new release by Jian! You can find their Akita Summer Collection at the anniversary round of The Epiphany. Collect all 30 varieties of Akita Inu pups and adults (plus VIP lantern akitas!) and celebrate summer with Japanese-themed goods to eat and comfy yukatas to wear. Don’t wanna play the gacha to get your akitas? Okay, don’t! Buy the FATPACK and get all of the items in the collection in copy permissions with HUD driven scripting instead for a one-time price. Now, there’s so much goodness in this collection and for this picture I’m only showing a held pup, a wanderer pupper and a wanderer adult. The collection contains so much more be sure to check it out.
