Time to go home

I have to actually admit to never having a home in sl. I have always had land. I've always had better use for the prims, than a home. It is a luxury I just can't afford.

I do have a linden home, but really, what can you do with those??? haha

We don't often cover Home&Garden here on Free*Style, but we do try to include it when we can.

The Home&Garden Expo is going on right now. This is a Relay for Live charity event. There are more than a few of them throughout the year, but this one is dedicated just for the H&G category of designers.

I am showing you the donation item, this pale hutch from Funky Junk. 100% of the proceeds from the sales made go towards chairty.

All the items on the hutch come with it, so you get all the books, baskets, candles, flowers, leaves and so on. It's a fairly good deal for the quality and amount you get, plus it;s for charity, so well worth it.

You have until the 28th of September to get to the event and look around. There is a L$10 hunt as well as a L$25 hunt going on, brought to you by various designers and sponsors that are on the sims.

Here is a TP to the H&G Expo

Presents!

Good day! Sorry I've not been posting a lot here but I sure haven't been slacking. In addition to my own blog and other projects, I've been doing a lot of background work for Free*Style, including finding the right place for our new store!  That has been accomplished; and we are starting over from scratch so finding great items will be my next task.  In addition to free items we are including newer items that will be 25 L or less.  I will do an update post on the specifics very soon.  There are great bargains to find all over the grid and I wanted to share of few of my favorites.

Second Life is celebrating it's 9th Birthday and though Linden Labs did not officially sponsor the event this year (hmmmm) a group of lovely people took on the task.  KittyCats has a darling area that includes gifts and a competition for the best KittyCats display.  Do check them out and vote for your favorite.  The gifts are scattered around the area.  Right at the landing point KittyCats is offering a completely free limited edition kitty for SLB.  It comes with a free week of food and other cute decorations.   A.D.D. Andel has a free SLB version of it's kitty bed and it comes in 3 sizes.  Funky*Junk offers a totally adorable cat tree complete with ladder, floating butterflies and a swing.  It's just precious.

Somehow I stumbled upon a cute hunt being sponsored by Rockberry and Twilythula.  The hunt is free and at both stores.  Rockberry has a bunch of skins in the hunt and a huge set of lovely eyes.  Twilythula has lots of goodies, from skins to clothing.  I find that exclusive store hunts can be very charming.  Jane is having a great clearance on all her mesh clothes that predate Standard Sizing and I snagged several fatpacks.  Free demos are available.  I have adjusted my shape for an XS in Standard Sizing and I had no problem getting the two smaller sizes to fit....it all depended on the item.

Couple Of Builds You Need!

Just wanted to show two builds you can get for 10L each in the Platinum Hunt real quick.  I LOVE these!!  I rarely blog non-clothing items because I kind of suck at photographing them but I HAD TO show you these ones because they are adorable and small enough to fit on my land. xD  First this adorable little house from Awesome Blossom with the perfectly weather-worn textures:

Then we have this little place from Funky Junk that I can imagine fitting perfectly in front of a tropical-themed pool or on some Mediterranean style island.

Once again, both are 10L each as part of the Platinum Hunt.  You can find Awesome Blossom HERE and Funky Junk HERE.
