No more disclaimers.(Freebies & Bargains).

I’m going to try not to say when something is a “Reblog” because although a lot of people may have seen the item before or I definitely know something is being reblogged I’d like to assume that to someone the item is NEW or you may have owned it but it’s now lost in your invent so it’s a reminder of something that you may like to get again. So in future I’m going to try not to use the word “reblog” and just do the post.

These “Steel Head” gifts are a prime example.

Who does not own or has owned a pair of these Timberland style boots in RL? Damnit I swear I even have the same coloured laces.  Anyhow these ones from Steel Head also come with a hud so you can change the colour and the fit. They do come in a man’s size and it was easy for me to edit them to fit my feet.

I actually won a very similar pair of these from a Lucky Board which acted as a reminder to see if they’re still out for us.  A bigger hud of colours options for these fashion sneakers.

There are a few more gifts for us in this shop also what looks like it may be pretty handy and that’s a “script cleaning” set of scripts.  Use these with caution and practise first on a copy before you do anything with it.

Now for the “cheapies” and a totally random picture.

Let me explain.  I called into the “LOVE” landscaping shop/sim to see if there was any new discounted items, the new Autumn stock and if there were any new Group Gifts.  Yes to the first and second and nope to the third.  I bought the wild grass pack, only 50Lds for 10 different shades and you can just about make out the brick and iron fence set.  This Graveyard fence set comes as in a fatpack.  Each bit is only 1 prim and 2 prims if you use the linked gate.  Such excellent quality and low prims for only 50Lds! Don’t let the fact it’s labelled as a “Graveyard” fence set put you off as this makes for a great fence for someone living their best Victorian/old SL life lol.

There was another 50Ld offer and as for the Group Gifts, I didn’t really see anything new but check em out esp the Yoga rugs.

I’m logging off SL and binge-watching horror movies.  I indulged in a Shudder subscription and I can’t think of anything nicer than pulling the blinds down and chilling, geddit? watching horrors.

Steelhead Outfitters. (Hop on the TP).

2Li and just $10L

They are calling this a “house” on the market place but I’m using it as a barn or storage shed. Fantastic deal from Landscaping by FelixvonKotwitz. Haven’t looked at this store for ages and decided to take a wander around the main in-world store. Whoa ! Lots to see, some totally gorgeous homes and of course plants and sim decor. The house has no door which I preferred as I was using it as sim decor, I’ve added some nick knacks to the interior and placed a good scattering of sheep and bunnies around, it just is so pretty ! Only 2Li its unbelievable ! Copiable and modify btw.

I’m shameless! (25Ld Tue).

I loaded up my 25Ld Tue hud and started to click through and was delighted to see this twiggy garden structure for sale at such a low price.

I have seen this structure before in the Simply Shelby shop but I don’t think it was a 25Ld offer at that time as I would have snapped it up straight away.

Now for the shameless bit.  You will see in the shop that you get a choice of Spring/Summer or Winter and I couldn’t make my mind up which season to buy so since I know the Simply Shelby range pretty well  I zoomed in and spotted the magical words “copy & mod”.

I am always truly grateful when a shop either intentionally or accidentally leaves something as Mod because it means if you’re a fiddler like me then you can adjust something which is pretty darn good as it is but you may want to tweak it and tweak it I did which is why I know you can remove all of the plantings and just leave the twiggy frame for you to leave either bare or using flowers/planting of your choice you can also change the season.

This inc a small little hanging tea light which isn’t linked.  Going by memory, it’s 22 prims complete, stripped down to the twigs only 16 and there is an 18prim version which is a “lower Li and No Physics”.

1 2 3 VOILA! Free

I was looking at the July section of the Stay At Home Club home & decor and spotted this statue at Wishing Well Fountains. I saw it was 9Li which actually isnt all that high BUT I nabbed it with one purpose in mind – to strip it down and make it lower Li. You will find this right outside the entrance to the store.

Very simple to do, click on the item in edit mode, click on edit linked, then highlight the parts you’d like to remove. Go to the upper menu on the viewer Build, scroll down to unlink.  Go back into edit mode on the object and you will see the part you unlinked is now highlighted in a different colour – carefully click on the part you unlinked and delete – et voila ! I always do this routine for each single part I want to unlink and delete – its safer ! Please do make sure the item you are editing is copiable and that you have a copy BEFORE you fool around with it ! I stripped this statue down , removed the plants and base – it is now 3Li – I made it a little larger to fit the spot I had in my garden – made it 4Li.

The countdown has started. (Sorta Mention of Freebie/Reblog).

Urk!! Yet another morning, when the freebie finds have been thin on the ground and now I have to do RL stuff.

What was even worse is that I logged off last night thinking I’d scored an excellent gift from Hilly Haalan only to have second thoughts this morning when I logged in that I have already shown you this off the shoulder pant set.

So if it looks familiar that’s because it is and if it looks new then it’s new to you.

The “Countdown” in my title is because yesterday with a THUNK my Visa bill hit the doormat!  When you see in black and white all those Second Life payments it’s a bit OMGERD!  So tomorrow I’m starting the month off with a 500Ld limit spend for the whole month but it’s not tomorrow yet and already I’m being sorely tempted!

I’d gone to the Cosmopolitan event and on one of the stands is some amazing bamboo plants so I followed the link to the Konoha shop and that is where this picture was taken.

It’s a new shop, I think, although I suspect the designer is an old hand at creating as the quality can’t be bettered.  There isn’t much stock at the moment it’s really just a small platform but even so I have added to my list that tree, those grasses and the bamboo set at the Cosmopolitan event and a Silver Birch Tree set from another top class designer. So before I gird my loins and stick to my budget it’s spend, spend and then spend some more.

UPDATE:

Silly me there IS a New Freebie at the Cosmopolitan Event.  I’d spotted the Lipsticks but it was only on my return visit to buy the Bamboo set that I spotted on the other easel is this grey top.

It only comes in a Legacy and Maitreya fit so my crossed arm pose has come in handy.

PS.  As for the random background, some are the delivery systems for the 3 sets of landscaping I bought from Konoha.  They on their own make for very interesting decor but I’m so excited to start unpacking and placing all my new stuff.

Thank You. (Freebie).

Synnergy is not a free group, I think it’s 25Lds to join, and I am already in the group as it’s a backdrop/pose group and of course I use those sorts of things. It’s also how I spotted in the notice from Synnergy this FREE for ALL gorgeous backdrop.

A panel covered in poppies, ivy and berries and it rezzes as a wall for you to stand in front of it and snap away. Just so lovely and for all that detail and size it’s still only 18 Prims and now for the icing on the cake…COPY and MOD!

Oh my! so I did a quick edit and these 3 large clumps of ivy and berries are only 1 prim! I know I will be replacing the clumps of ivy on our sim with this much nicer patches when I can next log in.

I always really appreciate when a shop allows you to copy and edit an item as it just means that people can have a play around with something and make it more useful to them than maybe the original item was intended for.

BTW I’m not going to be checking out the Synnergy shop as I am too easily tempted and I know for a fact I will end up buying one of the backdrops and instead I’m going to check out the Full Perm shop that this item was created from.

Now, PAY ATTENTION! as this gift is a bit hidden but the Group notice does tell you where to look.  On the reception desk in the entrance are some icons ie Facebook, Blogotex etc and one of the icons is a gift box and you click on that and it’s sent to you.

Spring Spectaculum Hunt

Found this little hunt today – right in the centre as you land. You’re looking for treasure chests and they are not hard to find and cost absolutely nothing! This wisteria tree is by Lady’s Garden (and as I’m so juvenile I had a little giggle about that name) its 8Li and is a keeper for moi.

I also really liked this rose wreath by Delightful creations, just 2Li and plenty of rose colours included by touch. Its not one of those alpha type wreaths, lovely and 3d – kept for my home interior . Also clothes in the hunt – just nothing that suits my style but it might you !
