This post was inspired by something in real life. My favorite breakfast spot has a living wall near the entrance. I came across a living wall for sale in SL and knew I had to do something with it. I created this tableau using just a few of the green things in my inventory. I collect green things! The bunny is there because I have a thing for bunnies :).
Broken Mesh Wall — Gummi’s Flower Shop. I purchased this as a second hand Gacha on Marketplace
Ivy — Urban Spirit — Mesh Ivy. 50L on Marketplace.
Living Wall — Mithral — Living Wall Display, light
Chair — Park Place — Midtown Egg Chair. Green is one of 6 color options on the HUD
Dress — !gO! — Rachel Apron Dress. This was a gacha prize, 75L
Pose — Lorien — Sweep Chore Broom, Take a Rest. 60L on Marketplace. Adjusted slightly with Animare
Backdrop — Lounge Chairs are by Soy, “Outdoor Chaise Lounger” and the house is Beachcomber’s Cabin by Simple Things.
Location — private home
Lighting and Extra Sand Details — Phototools Epi Vintage Light, Photoshop
Note on lighting: I loved the shadows in Epi Vintage but it has a yellowish caste, as do many of the Windlight settings. I countered this with a blue filter in Photoshop to bring out truer tones.
I am spending the day at home catching up on my blogging. I try to work a few days ahead. I actually write two blogs — one in SL and a real life book review blog. Don’t tell me about any amazing sales and freebies today. I need to get some work done!
I found this place while looking for a pose at Le Poppycock. It is the starting location for the Enchantment event, which begins tomorrow! I’ll be shopping.
Excessories isn’t all about the clothes and hair! I also collect decorative items. While doing the MadPea fishing tournament today (as if I didn’t have enough to do), I came across a Gacha at Lagom that called to me. It said, “Put money in me and I’ll give you a rare….” And it did! Out popped this incredible skybox. I knew it would be the perfect backdrop for some furniture by Chilly Pigeon that I bought at the Boardwalk event.
Skybox — Lagom — Bevamped Skybox RARE 50L per play
Furniture Set — Chilly Pigeon — Stars Set. This is a mix and match set, not everything shown here. It’s absolutely gorgeous!
Rug — BoWillow — Bohemian Rug, stars. I got this in a hunt a couple years ago.
I’m staring into space thinking about napping. Napping while rocking in a boat is the best. When I saw this Nap Boat by Brocante on the Fifty Linden Friday sale, I knew it was meant for me. There are single and cuddle poses. There is also a pool boat version for those who want to just float.
I finally took the plunge and got a Homestead. This will allow me to make my own backdrops, set land forms, textures, weather and more! I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time and today was the day!
Today’s post was inspired by the latest creation from my friend, Sylvi, of b[ELLE]. This top and bellbottoms set has a color change HUD for each section. The pants have the most GORGEOUS embroidery down one leg. You can see some in the photo, but I admit I didn’t quite do it justice with my classic cross-legged hippy pose.
Top/Bellbottoms — b[ELLE]. Side tie sweater and Bellbottom jeans. On SALE for 99L this coming weekend!!
Pose — Sylva’s Animation Factory — Candy Fair Gift, 2015. Sadly, around this time Sylva passed away, according to her profile. Her store remains open and any proceeds go to her family.
I’m at the real estate office buying a new home. I’m moving in real life! It’s an exciting time but there is so much to do. Bear with me– I will write when I can! HUGS, Em.
My biggest thrill in life is to read in the afternoon until I fall asleep and take a nap.

I excel at napping. In fact if napping was a pageant skill, I’d be crowned queen! However, Apollo, the sun god, reminded me I was merely mortal and woke me up with an eyeball piercing ray of sunshine. Will somebody please close the curtains?
Head — Lelutka –Chloe. In case you haven’t already figured it out, this is my current favorite head. Lelutka makes such exquisite Bento heads and the HUD is so easy to use.
