Renting a home in Second Life

When Zan said to come over and check this rental sim out I was there in a flash. Not often we see something that so awesome we call each other to see it! So I was sunk about 3 minutes later and had rented the lighthouse above. Yes, we do have our own sim but I often rent places out to blog or just because I really adore the surroundings – this worked on both counts. $400L a week, 200 prims and a sim of gorgeous locations to take photos – whats not to love!

Got busy rezzing out my gear from Dench Designs – love this picnic table and planty type bits and it didn’t make much of a dent in my prim allowance.

This is the central roundabout, so pretty and plenty of places to park your arse and enjoy the view.

When Zan said it had “so many different types of home” to rent she wasnt kidding. Anything from a Lighthouse, a motel, brownstones, cozy little bungalows and more. They all seem to be $400L a week. I didn’t get a group join when I rented but I was able to place my gear. I sent a message to the owner and a few hours later the group tag arrived. I’ve put the rental office landmark below, although I didn’t see a way to teleport to the homes (?) I just walked about and found what I wanted.

Popped over to Dench Designs yesterday to see if Amanda had anything new for me to snap up (she always does!) and I noticed that the group gift had changed yippeeeeee! It’s a corker this month, this “shed” that isn’t really a “shed” is a fantastic piece of kit for your home. If you’ve ever wanted a little place to hang out and potter in make sure you grab it. So so so the basic shed with no additional decor is 9 prims, it has the couch inside all set up. Thennnnn you can get adding stuff inside and out – indeedy-doo – potting bench, hanging basket, lights,bunting and inside a stove, cat and dog,ceiling lights on a rope, drapes, guitar and on and on and on – its brilliant!

Naturally the more you add the more prims you use and that’s the awesome part – it’s up to YOU what you have out or not. The couch has male and female poses and I have to say – its such a lovely cozy place to sit and chill. Group is free to join, I stay in it as Amanda doesn’t spam with loads of notices.

The Great British Summer? Peace by Peace Hunt

Dench Designs has a wonderful item out for the    hunt. You get this picnic table and the gazebo! Full of hidden delights as well, the table will load up with food & drink – as much as you want prims allowing of course. Table cloth is texture change as is the gazebo, you can also add fairy lights, fancy light bulbs and even RAIN! We always get rained out at our BBQ’s lol.

If you look really really hard you can see the rain around me, the food items are really nicely done and you get to wear them in certain poses. Brilliant gift – thank you Amanda<3 (cost is $1L so almost free! – Hint is “a stitch in time saves nine, better get sewing then”) My hair is new from Tableau Vivant and is called “teri”, you have an optional braid with it plus two versions of the style itself – I loved the “messy” one! Their birthday gift is really sweet as it goes with this hair – wont spoil the surprise.

It starts here (Free gift)

Every Christmas for the last few years I have done most of my decor shopping at Dench Designs. Honestly, you’d miss a lot if you don’t go and take a peek at the Christmas area. Amanda Dench has really upped the anti each year and we are spoilt for choice yet again with low prim goodies packed with seasonal cheer, music and animations! This is not an expensive place to shop at all. If like me you like a good amount of Chrismassy sparkle you will find positively heaps here for not a lotta cash. Join the group (its free) and pick up this group gift sweet chair, crammed with poses for writing your cards, planning your shopping and of course jumping for JOY when Santa arrives! The chair rezzes the props for you (yes, even the Santa) I picked up loads of new items and spent such a small amount, it makes me feel such a spendthrift!

Bring on Summer (hunt)

The bring on summer hunt has begun, and I’ve swiped a couple of gifts to share with you. Great to see Dench Designs in this event, and boy-oh-boy you really need to find this amazing prize! It’s a gazebo but with a difference – when you unpack it, it’s the gazebo & couch. When you touch the item a menu pops up so you can add all the rest of the lovely decorations! Of course adding extra’s mean the Li goes up, so you can pick and choose what you want, then if you need too – pack it away.

I also spied the gift from the mustard seed, this sweet mother cat and her kitten – reclining under a tomato plant. Absolutely adorable!
