Never You Mind – Free

I was at Sway Dench’s store and saw this sweet little snail roaming around – zoomed in and found out where its from- et voila thats how I ended up at Never You Mind ! I had to buy him ! Just 2Li and you get three copiable snails in the pack – 1m range, 2m range and 3m range – dead cute.

I also joined the group ($25L) and helped myself to a load of group gifts. What I hadn’t realised at the time is you also get a transferable version in the box – so fantastic to give as gifts ! I know Player will adore the little kitty in the box – all of these are animated, some fly around, some wriggle and move , the little guy & girl toss a heart in the air- the little kitty is hiding under an envelope then pops up! Really whimsical and such a delight. I had a look around and was SO tempted by a few of the builds, all seemed around the $150L mark and all low prim – will be heading back later as I also spotted a bridge that I really liked.

Never You Mind

It’s time to “Shop & Hop”. (Mention of Oodles of Freebies ‘n’ Bargains).

If you tried to do the Winter Shop & Hop Event but the lag caused by the sheer busyness of the crowds made you give up I’m happy to tell you that it’s time to go back.  It’s so much quieter now you should find it much easier to get around and grab all of the amazingly generous gifts.  I’ve hardly had the chance to unpack them but even from picking them up I can see there is such an excellent mix of gifts that there is something for everyone.

The only downside is it’s over…tomorrow…or today depending on which day in SL the 6th lands on.  I do know from past events unless they block access to the sim we do have a bit of leeway as it takes sellers time to log in and pick their items up but I’d not delay and go now.

Also, remember to grab some of the bargains at the same time.  I know I picked up at least 3 fab items as such low prices it made my Cheap B* heart sing.

Shop & Hop

What did I buy ? (And the gifts!)

Love a bit of Fameshed, its one of my fav events. This round most of the designers have pressies out for you – just add yourself to the free to join group – et voila. I’m going to start with a paid for item from Valentina E. The tux dress is just a stand out for me. Traditional but with a twist of sparkly sequins and a loose hanging tie – I thought it was dead gorgeous so bought it in this lush dark plummy colour. Look closely and you can also see my new necklace from Avaway , also at this round. Now Avaway is a revelation for me as they make Maitreya rigged jewellery  mmhmm just slip it on, no editing required – what a life saver. You can use the Hud to remove strands, change stone colours and metal colours – so flexible ! Both these items were under $300, so good value.

Nowwww there were like a serious amount of gifts, and I trawled through them allllllll – loads of keepers hurrah! I think the most blogged one will be this off the shoulder sweater dress from Coco – its just deeeelicious. Maitreya fit only sorry ! You can also buy various other colours at the event. The boots are also a gift from Utopia, several mesh feet fits in the box.

Free hair by Limerence in all colours and a sweet seasonal themed bra and panties set by Belle Epoque, the scrummy red shiny boots are from Garbaggio, as I’ve fooled around with my graphics in a vain attempt to look all arty – you cant see but the boots are really red and really shiny. Theres loads more and even gifts for the guys wooo!

The Cookie Jar – Freebies & good shopping

If youre looking for some GREAT Seasonal shopping, a hunt and free gifts – get yourself over to The Cookie Jar! its got the lot – I will leave the landmarks below to each location and let you have the surprises. Above is the giving tree gift from HJM Designs – gawd I adore it, it plays a lovely Christmas song too, the snow flurries look realistic so you could hang this on a blank wall to get a real seasonal effect.

Of COURSE I had a few turns of the gacha machine for HJM Designs in the Christmas market durrr – I won exactly the scenes I wanted hurrrah !

Then I snapped up the free gift from HJM Designs at the market – and got this sweet little sleigh – it comes with a light switch for twinkling lights etc.

Im not entirely sure if I picked this up from the tree or at the market – but it was from LpOca, you get two o these dear little reindeer candles, the flame effect is especially lovely.

Anyway have at it – use the LM’s below to navigate around and enjoy your shopping ! There are free gifts at most stalls in the market. I didnt have time to do the hunt – so let me know how you get on!

Highligh this.(dollarbie).

C!L has a few hunts going on and I will admit that I didn’t find the prize I wanted and just walked away with this “Sinister Hunt” prize not really expecting it to be much good but I’m more impressed with this dress than I thought I would be.

The dress and those leggings are the only things I’m showing you but you do get bat wings and an eye mask which are pretty good.

I have a sneaky suspicion this maybe a reblog or it maybe simply a case of blogging a similar design as the dress is ringing a bell but the addition of the wings, stockings and mask doesn’t.

For this hunt prize it’s a curled up snake you’re looking for, I thought it was a turd at first till I zoomed in on it lol.  As mentioned there are a few hunts going on and I have a feeling a notice has just gone out somewhere as when I logged back in to LM grab it was starting to fill up.  This prize is at the LM given but the C!L shop is on two floors and you take the elevator to the next level.

PS.  Yes, it’s “Blair again one of my all-time Fav Mina hairs.

Can you blame me? (Freebies).

These trainers/sneakers from Vale Koer are just so good they deserve to be blogged and reblogged until every AV has them.

I remember when I first grabbed these how pleased I was because these are in a male clothing shop and it’s not actually clear that you don’t only get all the male fits BUT also all the women’s fits.  I think these are examples that before you bin anything to open it just to make sure.

This is the second pair of trainers and you can just see the amazing attention to details and both pairs of shoes come with damned big colour huds.

Vale Koer is a shop packed with classy, hip and sporty male clothing.  I swear if I still used my male AV I’d be treating myself to clothes from this shop.

I’m (not) sorry but I do judge male AVs and when you see a Cheap Assed Gorilla Man in some basic wear you know they’re only SLing for one thing.  Just as much as I judge Gorilla Man when I see someone who has spent a few Lindens and time and effort to make their AV look good I judge them in a much more positive way…I still wouldn’t “scr*w” them though lol.

As I was looking around I spotted near to the gifts TPs to 3 builds, skyboxes which have been created with unfussy, manly mancaves. I love them, as much as I like Froo Froo and clutter I also admire clean lines and quality.  So you will find the Group Gifts inside the shop on the shelves near to the customer desk and the TPs to the skyboxes are there as well.

PS.  Only 6 prims rezzed, I didn’t check the other shoes prims.

6th Birthday @ The Liaison Collaborative (Free & New)

Oh gifts galore for you @ The Liaison Collaborative! I had a whale of a time there yesterday – free gifts and NEW items I had to have. Valentina E are giving this gorgeous dress as a gift – pretty floral print long length – adorable. Iconic have this neat bobbed hair do as their gift in a whopping pack that includes ALL hair colours. My pose and prop are a new release from Poppycock – only £69L a pop on their gacha machine – I think I picked up everything except the rare – being Poppycock though – it didn’t matter they are ALL sweet!

I HAD to buy these “ear climbers” from Earthstones – super pretty earrings , loads of different colour packs on offer. Not the cheapest earrings I’ve ever bought at $399L,  but boy-oh-boy they sure are gorgeous. Did you spot the teeny tiny ladybird?!

Not all the gifts are fashion items, plenty of home decor. This detailed stool from crate, just 3Li with male and female poses built-in – it’s already found its place in my Second Life home ❤
