Small Pleasures

Beware of lazy cat!

What does Lludmila keep in her shed?

L2 Studio put out a new house, which Lludmila had to go see because she's addicted to houses and one of her favorites came from there. The latest creation is usually set out a short ways from the shop, all kitted out with furnishings to inspire the buyer. Lludmila didn't stay long looking at the Padre Island house because there was a couple on the bed sexting each other ... in chat and not IM. Sheesh.

Anyway, while trying to escape from an embarrassing situation, Lludmila saw an open storage locker-type thing. Wondering if it were part of the house and if the doors worked, she clicked on it. It's a free broom cupboard! You can bet she "bought" the freebie and took it home to stick on the outside of her current house as a garden tool shed!

On the side of the shop (near where you rez) there are some cute signs that are freebies as well. Lludmila chose the "Danger: Beware of Killer Cat" to go with her new static cat feature (that came from the Dreamland Designs fireplace collection). The cat looks just like our RL cat, Collage. The only thing you need to beware of Collage is to be sure to be out of her way when she tries to run away from you. A truly scaredy cat.

The many sleeping positions of Collage.

OMG! Just like the static cat! And about as much movement!

I have to keep cat beds at the desk to keep them from sleeping
on the scanner/printer and breaking it like the last one.

Amazing Things

Annthrasite doesn't look out of place or anything. 

Annthrasite was innocently trying to wrangle some freebies out of Paisley Daisy when she saw a gorgeous fountain out in front of the shop. She clicked on it to see where it came from and got the landmark for the shop. Wow. The role-play oriented furniture is beautifully textured and detailed and low land impact - but not cheap. However ...

Hmm, seems to be available for another 18 days ...

They are holding a one year anniversary celebration with some snazzy freebies. So, hop along to aisling and just gape at how beautiful things are. Oh, and play Las Vegas with the gachas. There are some really cute vintage office accessories for 50L a try!

Sweet Revolutions and Independent Objects

All the hunts still going on at Sweet Revolutions/Independent Objects and the nice sim make it fun to poke around. The prizes are fairly large constructs. Lludmila had to rez them at Waldinsel for the room.

Oh. Em. Gee. This thing is huge.

Basic house above.

Climbing animation with varying speed. Lemme tell you,
choosing "very fast" was a mistake in reference to photos.

Ginormous tree with treehouse - Medieval Fantasy hunt.

Climbing up the pier. Some of these guys should eat more cookies.

View from the top. Love the swirling water!

Mini pirate island - Skull and Bones hunt. A larger, more elaborate version is available in a sale version for those who like the prize sample.

Where's Cal when you need him?

Ooo, changing some tree leaf and fern colors.

Romantic campfire scene with seasonal color changes - The Renaissance Hunt.

Nice stained glass.

With a little cemetary and some pines.

Small medieval church - Medieval Fantasy Hunt.

Standing on glass that high up makes Lludmila nervous.

Sweet Revolutions

Goodies From the Ren-umm Mediev-umm, Whatever Hunt

Sherwood Forest outfit & Lindy boots.

Wow, they must've been right about that mini-ice age.

Lludmila, still being punished for screwing up the hunt info.

Kathy's favorites: circus themed curtains, chair,
knife-throwing wheel.

Piddling Around

Skull and Bones

Hot Summer Hunt

Season's Palette Hunt

This is the last day of the Skull and Bones and Hot Summer hunts, so it's your last chance to pick up the decorative rowboat and loungers from Piddler's Perch for 1L each.

Still going on will be the Season's Palette Hunt with a storyteller rug prize. Don't be late!

Virtually Dreaming

Brown Cottage Chair set from the Lucky Chair.

Kathy dropped by Dreamland Designs just to take a gander, and went home with an inventory full of goodies. The furniture is stuffed with animations that give props when necessary.

Cozy Attic Chair set - FREE!

Lazy Days Beach Chair - 10L (just outside main door).

 While gathering information for this post, Kathy forgot which one was free and which was Lucky Chair, etc., so she scurried back and realized she missed the Sweet Candy Vintage Chaise for 10L.

Sweet Candy Vintage Chaise (just inside door), also 10L!

Rustic Blue Plaids Bedroom Set - alternate in the Lucky Chair.
"Where did all my clothes go?"

Plenty of naughty anims in the bedroom set, but also some
tame ones. Perhaps Kathy is reading a naughty book.

There's a Midnight Mania and a Mini-Mania board, so if you're persistent, you can really load up on some nice furniture. Oh, and I guess you could also buy some full price. Huh! Who'd do that? Oh, right - me.

Dreamland Designs

A Little Beach House

Heh! Polynesian Gothic design!

Available at her shop, Anarya Design inworld, or on the Marketplace, Anarya has a free beach house fully furnished (205 prims) with a pool!
We just can't resist another house!

Spring Has Come ...

New item is on the leftmost lucky board.

... to the +9 mainstore. It's such a pretty little island in the sky just to visit, but there's also something new in the non-group lucky board. You have to be quick, though, because all the boards are set to one minute. You snooze, you lose. There would be a photo of the new item, but SL turned into Crashopolis for no apparent reason. I can understand how it might get annoyed with me camming around like crazy, but it stood still for that and crashed instead right after delivery of the lucky board prize. The "box" is now hanging in midair in my skybox and, honestly, I've had enough crashing for this morning.

Instead, here are some more photos of the mainstore:

Such a lovely, peaceful place.

A Tisket, a Tasket ...

A free set of baskets! Now all we need is something to put in them.

In celebration of being chosen as "Designer Of the Month" at the Home & Garden Market, %Percentage is giving out this set of free baskets at the Home & Garden location. All five come with and without shadow and vary between 3 and 4 in the land impact department.

Congratulations, %Percentage!

It's still winter at the +9 mainstore, so dress warm. Lludmila is amazed by all the things that are free there: shoes, tsochkes, food, poses.

If you find yours is "locked" - unlock it and it's modifiable. 

Make them whatever size you want!

 She did manage to find two things that were actually for sale, so you have to look carefully, but it's worth a trip.

Find the food that actually costs something!

Join the group and get gifts sent to you and a chance at the group lucky boards.

... but watch out for that vegetable patch.

Leave a tip on the stuffed bear if you find some freebies you like. Or just wander around. It's just a small skybox, but there's plenty to look at.

Pick up a free cushion with 6 sits. Ooo, that soup looks good!

Cozy up with some friends.

Gah! This water is cooooold!

A little back support. More tea, please!

+9 is more an experience than a shop. Find the teleport and visit Cafe Cherbourg where there are more lucky boards.

Set to 3 minute intervals!

Visit the pond area, where winter still clings on like grim death. But not far away is a beach bar.

Skate a bit, or trip next door for a bit of summer.

Just be careful about that "swimming" animation.

Rubber Ducky didn't want to "get involved."
