Finally!

After much sweating and swearing, I finally got my ass in gear. Dobby is on his way home. I think he just wants his feed.

But I have to tell you, this is the most amazing makeup. Despite all of the work it took to get Dobby going, my makeup is in perfect shape! I heartily recommend the designers.

Move!

I… have got to… get this…stubborn beast…home! My donkey, Dobby, wandered off the ranch early this morning while I was busy putting on my makeup. I finally found him, but he absolutely refuses to go anywhere! I’m hot and thirsty and have another mile to go. I brought a few carrots, his favorite treats, but he’s eaten all of those. I need a donkey whisperer!

Lovely Lavender

Happy First Day of Spring! Spring makes me think of all of the lovely floral colors, especially lavender. I found this dress on sale this weekend at Just Because. As of this posting, the dresses are still available at the Saturday Sale price of 100L each. The single color options were all lovely pastel shades, but this one found its way into my shopping cart.

The earrings by Dark Mouse are also still available at the weekend sale price of 50L.

I Love My Plants

My houseplants are starting to look a little winter weary. After a brief morning shower, the sun is coming out and it is predicted to be a fine day. I’m taking my houseplants out onto the front porch to get a little sunshine.

My dress is an absolutely wonderful FREE gift for anyone in the FabFree group, which is also free to join. The HUD has colors and patterns for just about any mood. There are solid, gingham, polka dot and tropical options. Just wear your FabFree tag and head over to Petry Model Store. There are more group gifts and a ton of discounted items there, too!

Also note that the skin I’m wearing is the current group gift from Seven (7DS). Currently the group is 425L to join.

Green Fairies

With a garden this magical, surely a leprechaun will be attracted to it. I’d love to find a pot of golden Lindens buried in my yard!

I don’t usually do two posts in one day, but this lovely emerald green dress by PM got my attention. It is on sale TODAY, for 50L during the Hello Tuesday sale.

Martini Time

My hubby and I have a Friday night tradition of listening to Dean Martin and sipping martinis. This morning at The Willows, Jaffee Gaffer will present two hours of music by the Rat Pack. I love it when real life and virtual life blend so nicely!

Wishing for Spring

When I was little, if my mother was cold, she made me put on a sweater. I hated that! But, here I am making Em do that. It’s a chilly and breezy day today, so Em has to stay warm too.

I purchased this sweater and skirt set from Beyond a few weeks ago. It was on sale, with each piece priced separately. I couldn’t make up my mind which ones I wanted, so I ended up splurging on the fat pack. It was also sale-priced, so it wasn’t too much of a splurge!

I chose transitional colors — a bit of gray for the sky (and my mood) and pink for comforting hope of spring.

Summer Candy

The latest creation by b[ELLE] made me think of summer candy — the candy necklaces, dots stuck on paper and strips of sugary gel.

The Sweethearts Dress comes with a HUD and all of the patterns are unique and fun. I had a hard time choosing my favorite, but the 3D look on the hearts print really stands out.
