Second Spaces at HGE!

It's just a couple of hours away! The Home and Garden Expo is about to begin! I wanted to get one last, quick preview in before it kicks off, officially! A store that I was very sad to see close it's doors is making a cameo appearance this year at HGE! Second Spaces was always one of my favorite furniture and decor go to stores. (I do still get an occasional treat from SS on Fifty Linden Friday's!) This is one stop you are not going to want to miss...just look at this stuff! I can't wait to put it in my new house, this weekend!

Oh hey!

You know The Arcade Gatcha starts in just SEVEN short days, right? I've been keeping my eye on flickr and Plurk to see what goodies I am going to need to get my hands on. The most exciting, by far, are these awesometastic squirt guns from MishMish! When Aime dropped them on me yesterday, I swear I squealed, chair danced and hyperventilated all at once! They are so fantastic!! There are 12 to collect, all in fabulous colors....and three of them are rare, a shark, a dolphin and an orca! The orca is, by far, my favorite! They come with a hud to turn the water on and off...perfect for a surprise shot! This is going to be a great summer!


***Edit*** I almost forgot! See that sexy van behind us? You can get that from 22769 at The Home and Garden Expo, starting today!! It's filled with single poses and couples snuggles...Autumn even serenaded us with some Bongo's last night....fabulous!

Mr. Fenix:

The Trees

There is trouble in the forest

And the creatures all have fled

As the maples scream 'Oppression!'

And the oaks just shake their heads.

The guys from 22769 released these amazing headpieces called The Dryad for L'Accessories.  You can get them HERE.  They come in a variety of colors and in gold and silver options.  Obviously anything like this I could not resist blogging and embarked on the mission for the perfect crazy hair to accompany my new found brows.  Thank you Skylar for the hair hunt last night, Boon did not let me down and we had some good laughs along the way.

Take Out The Trash

I'm not saying all the boys are the same

But some boys are the same and it's Thursday now

I know I have professed my love for the boys from 22769 several times before, but they just made one of my life long blogger wishes come true. I have blogged a garbage tote. I can die happy, now. They come in 4 colors and they have close to a bazillion animations in them. They really are my favorite things, ever! YOU can pick up your very own set of garbage totes from 22769 when The Home and Garden Expo opens, tomorrow!

A second thing to point out, my absolutely fabulous headband! It's NEW from Noodles and I cannot stand how adorable it is. You can get an exclusive Pretty Pastel color (not pictured because I'm an idiot) at the Live. Love. Laugh. Fair!

Paradise

When she was just a girl

She expected the world

But it flew away from her reach

So she ran away in her sleep

Dreamed of paradise

Every time she closed her eyes

Thinking back on the meme I recently did I realize how horribly I need to organize this disaster I call an inventory.  For example, I meant to blog this skirt and top from Lacuna oh... a month ago now.  Either way I picked it up at My Attic which is a great event.  Alas it is presently closed until the next round which is due up June 21 and it lasts for 10 days.  For now, you can pop on over to Lacuna HERE to view the selection they have of these cute outfits since they are now in the regular store.

Tattoo:  .:CoLL:. Make You Feel My Love ~ Shirt Layer

Top:  *LACUNA* Bandeau Top - Almond

Skirt:  *LACUNA* Diametric Maxi Skirt - Chocolate & Almond

The Home and Garden Expo - Just A Peek!

I have a general addiction to shopping in SL, however, when it comes to houses and decor...addiction is an understatement. Autumn's favorite story to tell anyone is how, one weekened, I purchased, decorated and deleted four houses. Four. So, I guess you can start to imagine how excited I am for The Home and Garden Expo. You can read about all the excitement, here. And check out more amazing pics, here!  These are just a few, small pieces of what I have seen so far. There will be lots more to come, I promise! Squeeee!!
