Konoha is participating in this round of FaMESHed with the ‘Platanus Mari – Old Plane Tree T1‘. This is a stunningly beautiful mature Platanus, or plane tree. And if you know your trees you know that this one is big, as it should be. I had to resize mine down a little to fit more of it in my picture. It is 46 Li out of the box, copy/modify, and season change menu upon Touch. A gorgeous eye-catcher, in your park, or in the wild. Other plants in this picture are also from Konoha, see list below.

For this round of the Cosmopolitan event, CHEZ MOI released the Camperini Set. PG and Adult versions. The set contains camping chair, and portable kitchen. Both come with numerous animations; solo and couple, temp attach props, and the kitchen also comes with 11 activity animations. Texture change HUD for the chair. Copy/Modify. Always a lot of fun and enjoyment, with CHEZ MOI creations in your home.

I spend way too much time trying to come up with clever blog post titles. So today I’m saving some time, and maybe, if all goes smoothly, finish the next scene this evening. There are so many ideas for scenes floating around in my mind, that I need more hours in a day to actually excecute them all! 😜

The DaD Courtyard Roman Swimming Pool is available at this round of FaMESHed. The swimming pool includes a jacuzzi, and it has everything you need to have an amazing time with family and friends. This pool comes in both PG + Family and Adult (MF, MM, FF) + Family versions, and it’s packed with nice animations and fun activities. 2 sizes included, and extra tiles to put around your pool. There’s also a bonus tile textures pack included, I used it to change the look of my poolside.

DaD The Courtyard Roman Swimming Pool details: 21.2 x 13.5 regular size – 20 Li – tap light switch on the corner near the stairs for light and light color options – Copy/Modify

The beautiful little Mediterranean inspired terrace villa, is the Djerva by Scafall. It’s just the perfect little crib for warm regions, where you can enjoy the sun on the spacious rooftop terrace, or the cool and equally spacious ground floor studio. I wouldn’t mind living here. The Djerva is now available in the Scafall store, and it’s 10% off if you’re wearing the Scafall group tag when you shop in the mainstore.

Scafall – Djerva / Terrace Villa details: 15.5m x 12m – 24 Li – Copy/Modify

Konoha has some gorgeous old olive trees in the store. The Olea elena comes in 4 different shapes, and moss/no moss versions. All Konoha plants and trees are copy/modify.

Getting a closer look of the Bricolage Chichi Bamboo Chaise Lounge, that I first featured in this post. The chaise comes in two versions, with and without umbrella, and is available in both PG and Adult versions. Texture change options for pillows and blanket. There’s a wearable umbrella included in the pack, as well as a decorative beach bag, which comes in 4 different textures. The Chichi Bamboo Chaise is available in the Bricolage store.

Just be.

Let’s sit outside, and enjoy a cup of coffee, and just be. Listen to the waves lapping on the shore, and the seagulls squawking in the distance.

I’m blogging some nice things for your patio today, from Bloom! The Outdoor Seat is available in PG and Adult versions. The fatpack offers 3 color choices for the pillow, and 3 choices of wood for the seat base, and table. Also available in single colors.

The Bloom! originals – Ground Vases is a wonderful decorative piece for your outdoor (or indoor) area. The vases come in 3 different colors. Fatpack also available.

Of course, you can’t be from Norway and not drink coffee? Well you can, but then you’ll be given a side-eye. Anyway lol, the Coffee plates from Bloom! are not only nice to look at, they also dispense a temp attached cup of coffee for you and your guests when you touch them. The coffee plates are available in 3 different colors.

The Jacaranda kayla is a previous release from Konoha. The pack offers a set of 4 Jacaranda trees – 33Li, 21 Li, 12 Li, 8 Li. This gorgeous tree comes in 5 seasons and 16 textures and two separate stem textures as well.

In the fae forest.

There’s magic in the forest, hidden to the human eye, but a bit fickle. Maybe you catch a glimpse of a shadow through the veil, hear a twig snap, or a quiet giggle? It might very well be a fae, playing with you. Because that’s what some of them do!

The Forest Nook is a new release from LORE for Hexical’s Light of the Earth event. This is a cozy tree stump hideaway for fae, forest folk, and nature lovers alike! It’s available in PG and Adult versions. It includes 4 season textures for the stump and ladder, as well as 15 colors for the blanket, mattress, and pillows separately. The nook is 16 LI. There are physics on top and a ladder on the side to climb up so you can put a table or other items up there too.

You can also find the LORE Fae Lantern while at Light of the Earth. These lovely lanterns come with 4 seasonal textures for the wood as well as 6 metal textures for the lantern. There is also tint/glow control for the lamp part so you can customize it to your color palette! I’ve tinted mine purrrple-ish! Pink?

The rest of the items used in this scene are previous releases from Konoha and Yugen. See list below!

  • Konoha – Jadite tree
  • Konoha – WildlyFluffy Natoma Grass
  • Yugen.// noori.// with fireflies

The Path

Never follow anyone else’s path. Unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and you see a path. Then by all means follow that path.

Ellen Degeneres

Yeah, I’m not big on inspirational quotes but give me love songs, poems or some wise words and I’m listening… Especially if the wise words are coming from Ellen Degeneres. It’s Thursday, which means it’s almost Friday. I might celebrate almost Friday by posting two blog posts today! This first post is featuring the majestic looking American Chestnut tree from The Little Branch which is available at the Man Cave event. And the flickering Mystic Lantern by Refuge you can find at the Refuge mainstore. All items used are listed in the credits below.

A Long Winter

Sander Sunborne 2 Comments

We’re not even half way through January and I’m already waiting for Spring. It’s a while still, until April, which is when we can maybe start seeing any signs of Spring here. We might even get a couple of feet of snow in April so the patience game is real now!

The Young Ginkgo Tree by The Little Branch is lightly animated and comes with a season changer menu. You can just touch it and the menu pops up and you can change from Winter to Spring in just a couple of seconds. It’s Land Impact is 7 out of the box but as it’s Copy/Modify you can resize it to fit your needs. The Young Ginkgo Tree is available at the January round of Equal10 which opens today!

Want a small, open plan house with panorama view? The DaD Glass House is small, only 18.2x 11.2 and 37 Li (resizable, Copy/Mod). It even has a round window in the ceiling so when it’s not covered with snow you can watch the stars from the comfort of your living room. Touch any of the switches inside the house to turn on or off the snowy windows. The snow roof add on is sold separately. You can find the house and the snow add on in the DaD mainstore and marketplace.

January

Sander Sunborne Leave a comment

It’s not exactly looking like winter outside my house right now, but this is how January usually looks where I’m from and if you’re wondering, yes it usually takes a while for the plow trucks to clear all the roads after the nightly snowfall. The rainstorm I’m experiencing right now is a blizzard just a little further north. I talked to my mum on New Year’s Eve and she’d given up shovelling snow for the day; she lit the fireplace and settled down indoors for the rest of the evening.

At Uber you can find a new release by The Little Branch; the Forest Pansy Tree. While it is the perfect tree for small gardens and courtyards, it is also found in open woodlands, thickets, woodland margins, limestone glades and along rocky streams and bluffs. The tree is lightly animated, 6 Li out of the box but it’s Copy/Modify so you can scale it down, or up, to fit your needs. Touch it for a season changer menu.
