This is a lovely gift from Noveny and since it was automatically sent to me I wanted to make sure it was something we could all get so I went over and unsubbed then resubbed and another one was sent to me straight away.
I know this shop because of a couple of the other freebies I’ve blogged, a bike both for decor and poses, plus little tin cans with plants in and I’ve kept all of them).
It’s not a big shop as of yet which I like as I remember some of the BIG SL shops when they too were small ones.
We all know that last year Cory Edo the owner of Trompe Loeil was so generous with full quality builds and a piece of furniture as gifts for the “Stay at the home club” and since the world, on the most part, is back to full lockdown just look at whats out for us.
Yeah, this is a FREEBIE!
I clicked on the window and you get the wood screens up. It’s these small touches which really make a build stand out.
Today my first post was going to be those small plant pots on the fireplace. You can also see my horses bum through the window as I had to rezz this house on the field he runs around in.
This staircase is just so well done.
The stairs lead up to a bedroom which is pretty big, big enough for bed, shower, lounging area. Nothing has been skimped on this build.
The chair is the extra gift, you get 2 shades and I think this is the dark one. Excellent poses as expected with Trompe Loeil.
The table in the background is a Christmas Gacha freebie. You will see that there is a stand showing you all the prizes in the Christmas Gacha’s, only 25Lds a pop. NOW PAY ATTENTION because you do need the table to get the Cacha prizes.
The table is the “2020 calender” and when you play the Gacha you get a “key” which you then rezz next to the “calender” ie table and then “~ Then, rez your 2020 Key next to the Calendar. (You must REZ the key – it cannot be attached to your avatar.) The corresponding numbered ornament on the Calendar will light up, and you will be given a surprise gift!”.
Don’t worry it’s all in the note so read that and I think when I log back inworld I may just give it a try as at only 25Ld for the Gacha even though Christmas is over I’m happy to hoard my prize till next year.
I was going to have, another, lazy day but sadly I now have to adult which means I have to put on my pants, brush my hair etc.
Before I log off to go to do all that I made my weekly visit to Apple Fall so I can be entered into their weekly draw. The prize of is of either 2.500 in lindens or shop credit and all it costs you is a TP so it’s worth it.
It was unusually quiet in the shop esp since it’s a monday so I could finally have a nice lag free walk around to see if there is any hidden new freebie.
These magifying glasses are not new, I think they have been out almost as long as Apple Fall has been running. I’m using these as an example of what you’re looking for as you can see they don’t have the price tag over them plus when you hover your mouse pointer over a freebie it shows it’s priced at “0”Lds.
I was actually a bit disapointed as I didn’t find anything new downstairs so I decided to TP to the outlet department. You will find this poster/TP on the wall at the back of the shop and when you click on it you get TP’d to a LOT of new freebies. So many of them I thought for a moment that the whole floor was going to be a freebie department, it’s not but you will walk away with a lot of Apple Fall quality decor.
PS. Don’t forget all the group gifts in the main entrance as well.
Before I settled down to work through my Raindale stuff I decided I should check the shop out and was happy to see a lot of old and probably new group gifts.
The tent is of course an old freebie which I can imagine everyone has in their invent. Next to it is an arch way made up of twisted branches, new? I’m not too sure. You get 4 versions in total, basically with or without snow and with or without lights.
I definately remember the teapot with flowers, maybe even the cake what I don’t remember is that plate of “Lembas”.
I was so curious as to what exactly “Lembas” is I googled it and it turns out that Lembas is the name given to the bread baked by the Elves in Toklens Lord of the Rings book. I’ve never read the book, watched the film or intend on reading/watching Lord of the Rings so all I know is that one click on the plate and you get a quality slice of Lembas sent to you to wear.
There are quite a lot of other gifts now at the Raindale shop inc some Christmas themed ones so check them out now.
PS. I may never read Lord of the Rings but I whole heartedly suggest you read To Kill a Mocking Bird, it exceeded my expectations.
I thought the Cosmopolitan event had just started a new round so I was surprised to see that the Christmas Tree is still out and even more surprised at how many gifts there are for us.
This jacket is just an example of the gifts and it’s from a shop we should all know, Miva. I’ve only unpacked 1 other item and it’s a decor set which is also a keeper so I for one can’t wait to log in and chill out unpacking the rest of the goodies and since this event has some of the biggest shops in SL selling there I can imagine the gifts are going to be really good quality.
A quick check of the group shows that this event is almost over so go NOW and not tomorrow!
PS. The gifts are the socks on the tree and not the parcels under the tree.
Since it’s Monday it means I will do my weekly visit to Apple Fall so I get registered for the weekly “Mondays Perk” draw.
All you have to do is pop in, you don’t have to buy anything or click anything just being there will automatically register for the weekly draw and if you’re lucky you could win either 2,500 in cash(Lindens) or 2,500 in shop credit. Pretty darn generous.
Not sure if you have to be in the Apple Fall group, since it’s free you may as well esp as you will want to check if you have won in the group notices and of course grab the new freebies which as you can guess is the muffin and bundt cake stand. Each is only 1 prim.
I thought I’d picked up the other new gift which is a bureau/desk but it looks like I didn’t. This bureau is perfectly proportioned and you can chose from 3 shades of wood. Even though there are a couple of items of decor on it I’m pretty sure the whole thing is just 2 prims.
Don’t forget to check out the book shelves at the LM for other slightly older gifts and of course have a wander around as there are hidden freebies dotted around the shop. I’ve not had a chance as yet so I don’t know if there is anything new but half the fun is finding them.
I had such a lovely time yesterday just wandering around checking out old LM’s and shop and on my wandering I spotted this random gift.
A quick check showed me that this is a Cinoe gift and fortunately it’s also in the mainshop as a “New Years Gift”. Very detailed, excellent texturing and only 1 prim.
There is another gift in the Cinoe shop which is their group gift. A wearable chocolate latte and you get a his ‘n’ her and a rezzable option.
The group gift poster/board is at the LM and to find the New Years gift just head into the shop and it’s on the wall to your right.
Cinoe(It’s a new, to me, LM so use mine just in case you only have the old one).
