Spruce Up Your Space: [SPRY] grandma’s house

It’s that time again!  Spruce Up Your Space is upon us for November, and this month’s “Flackback” theme was really fun for me!  I wanted to build something reminiscent of a quaint cottage with an old-fashioned feel to it, and the [SPRY] grandma’s house developed sort of naturally.  The [SPRY] grandma’s house is a small, cozy home with warm tones and vintage comfortability.  I hope you like it!  Full details, lots of pictures, and appropriate SLurls are after the cut…

Wallflower

After a few weeks of not changing clothes at all, I decided to experiment with some new looks today.  This was one of my favorites, so I thought I’d share it with you.  I’m in love with every single piece of this outfit, especially the new hair from elikatira, which can be found at Collabor88 this month.  Please excuse my poor shadow quality; the new viewer update has made my pretty shadows go away.

The Story of Us

A best friend is a special gift.  It is the strongest possible kind of friendship.

I am proud that Clementine Ishtari is my best friend.  She understands me.  She listens to me.  She’s always there for me.  She doesn’t sugarcoat anything or bullshit me.  She tells me how it is.  And I am grateful to have her through thick and thin.

The story of us is complicated.  We have hurt each other, but we have also forgiven.  We have laughed, and we have cried.  We have been through a lot, but we’re still in it together.

The last picture we took together was over two years ago, so we were really overdue for a new pic.  Btw, isn’t she cute???

Thank you for being my bestie, Clem.  ILY! <3

Newsworthy

I don’t know what happened to me, but for some reason I had an urge to blog.  I think it’s all this mesh goodness that has been released in the past few weeks.  I just can’t get enough!  So, I decided to dust the cobwebs off this old blog and give it a little bit of attention.

Spruce Up Your Space: [SPRY] tea party pavilion

I’m always excited to take part in the monthly Spruce Up Your Space event, and this month’s “Tea Time” theme is absolutely fantastic!  I wanted to build a fun, outdoor space fit for the perfect tea party, and this pavilion seemed the perfect choice.  The [SPRY] tea party pavilion is a sweet outdoor structure with soft floral interior, open airy appeal, and rustic botanical charm.  I decided to include all the little details that I would want for myself in a tea party pavilion, but I have included two versions for the price of one: one version with all the details and a second version that suits the more prim-conscious.  I hope you like it!

Spruce Up Your Space: [SPRY] the sweetness coastal home

It has been several months since I participated in the Spruce Up Your Space event, so I decided to stop being so lazy and get involved again.  This month’s theme for SUYS is “Coastal Cozy,” and I wanted to build something a bit less conventional than your typical beachhouse.  Some of my favorite childhood memories revolve around our summer vacations to Tybee Island, where we took refuge from the heat in our cozy family beachhouse.  I always spent a lot of time swimming in the ocean or playing on the beach with my sister, but my favorite way to pass the time was lounging on the gorgeous wrap-around porch sketching birds and beach scenes with my cousin.  I wanted to recreate that sort of comfort and familiarity by building something rustic and weathered, yet open, airy, and cozy, and I think the [SPRY] the sweetness coastal home accomplishes exactly that.

52 Weeks of Color: #15 Red

I’m a bit late in posting this red look, but I did not want to skip a week if I could help it.  So I’m playing a bit of catch-up.  Not too much to say about this look, but this red jacket is one of my favorites in SL.  And you definitely need to demo this new Sweetheart skin from Curio.  It’s totally adorable.

Skin Love: DUTCH TOUCH MenSje

I have been casually mentioning my love for the new :: DUTCH TOUCH :: MenSje skin in my most recent posts, but I haven’t really gushed too much about it yet.  So I wanted to post a quick pic of the gorgeous new MenSje face and properly exclaim my love for it.  It has been a while since I found a DT face I just couldn’t live without, but this is definitely one of those faces.

52 Weeks of Color: #14 Black

I honestly did not know what to expect from black this week.  On one hand, there is no shortage of black in my inventory.  But on the other hand, the numerous options can be overwhelming.  Plus, I can’t deny that I have a love/hate relationship with black in SL.  Some creators do a true deep, dark black, but some do a faded, grayish black, so it can be hard to mix and match.  In the end, I fiddled around with my options until I finally gave up and decided to just keep it simple and classy.

52 Weeks of Color: #13 Emerald

I was pretty excited about this week’s emerald color challenge.  I am a May baby, therefore emerald is my birthstone.  Plus, being a redhead, emerald is definitely a good friend of mine.  However, my inventory didn’t have much emerald in it.  I had to really scour my inventory to find some good emerald pieces, but I also lucked into a fantastic new item that I’m so excited to share with you.

52 Weeks of Color: #12 Taupe

I’ve heard that a lot of people hate taupe, but I actually love it.  I’m a huge fan of earth tones, and being able to color block with taupe this week has made me super happy.  Call me boring if you like, but I love a nice, clean look.  And I am really digging the uniformity of this look as well as the simple elegance of these pieces meshed together.  Also, I’m still fooling around with shadows, so don’t hate on my pictures while I figure out what the hell I’m supposed to be doing, k?
