An adventure into space is the perfect way to end the day! - Featuring Aphrodite

Every kid dreams of heading off into space on some adventure, and if you have ever raised boys, then you know this ends up being a daily occurrence. Aphrodite has designed the penultimate space bedroom sets in the past month that were featured at Thimble and Willowvale, two new kids events to the Second Life grid, which if you are raising kids on SL are two events you just HAVE to check out!

If you happen to have kids on Second Life who LOVE a certain set of movies then you need to check out this amazing bedroom collection from Aphrodite! The Glider bed is available at Willowvale, and includes the bed, books, lamp, rug and bookcase. The pieces are linked as you unbox them, but each piece can be moved and put where it fits in your space, making it very versatile, which I know is always a plus when decorating. And you truly need to check out the fantastic detailing on the bed and especially on the Space Adventures desk with its awesome fighter design and galaxy rug. I love every piece of this collection, and you can grab them while Willowvale continues into August. The stuffed toys were just at Thimble but you just MUST get your hands on these accessories to help create a magnificent place for your child to play, dream and learn, and of course explore the galaxy!

Come and sit for a while with me and talk about the good ol days – Kaerri @ The Home Show ’17

I'm pretty sure I was under the impression that life had calmed down and maybe I was hoping for a bit of excitement. What I had not planned on was the sudden trip to the emergency room this weekend, an EKG that looked like someone had zapped it with a taser, the words Atrial Fibrillation, and the days of this week suddenly filled with all kinds of appointments. I have had so many little sticky tabs attached to me over the past few days that I just gave up and if there are anymore I'm just going to leave them on til they fall off, instead of losing skin! This was definitely not the excitement I was looking for as we went on a drive on Saturday up the mountain, but it looks like my body had other things in mind. So now I wait for insurance to approve the rest of the tests I need to figure out what has happened to make my heart suddenly turn blond and not know when to beat, and that is seriously the hardest part of everything, WAITING! So if I seem a bit scattered in my posts and thoughts, we all now know why. I will continue to try and establish some sort of posting schedule, which is always a bit weird over the Summer with two teenage boys, and I promise I won't make you all wait to see all the newest goodies on the grid, including this absolutely GORGEOUS new release from Kaerri, an exclusive for The Home Show 2017.

The Solano Living Room collection comes complete with everything pictured here, minus the curtains. The colors are modern with a twist on the neutral palette, allowing for the addition of other accent colors and designs. Each piece is meticulously created and the textures are amazing!! The little details truly make this set, the candles, the stunning vases, and wonderfully textured books with a cup of tea or coffee, whichever you please. If you don't have room on your walls then take advantage of the edgy styling in Kaerri's set up with the painting leaning on either a chair or a lamp, as I have chosen above. If you have been following my blog then you have already seen the bright and cozy kitchen collection that bares the same name as the living room collection. Do yourself a favor and head on by the Home Show today and see the sets for yourself and be inspired to design a couple new spaces in your home with the Solano collections from Kaerri!

A quiet space - unKindness, Ariskea, Serenity Style, Bee Designs, The Crossroads, The Liaison Collaborative, Collabor88

I recently made a new friend via Facebook, who happens to also be on Second Life, and I have come to realize that after so many years online, I am awkward and jaded when it comes to new people.  Now granted I have always been a bit jaded, thus my name, but it wasn't until the past couple of weeks that I have come to realize I have serious trust issues with anyone new.  I think anyone who has spent an extended time online can tell you horror stories of people they have met, or have heard about, and trust me I have a whole long list of tales to tell, but they seem to have become redundant and I am not one to dwell in the past.  Four years ago when I became a permanent resident of SL, instead of just a passive user, I realized the community is much different than others I had been involved with before, and I was quite pleased.  I won't mention the other 3D chat program I was a part of, but every day brought new drama and no one looked out for each other or helped.  If you were a creator you were on your own and had to teach yourself everything, because no one was going to help you get ahead.  It was exhausting and incredibly stressful.  I used to be a creator of 3D goods on that other chat site, and still make money there but my blogging life on Second Life has been much more rewarding, and maybe someday I will expand into creating.  But for now, I am content to blog and expand my social circle as I seem to spend more time alone than I do in the company of others, unless you count shopping at events!  So with that idea in mind, making new friends is part of expanding my social circle, obviously, and I see now that I have to drop a lot of what I think I know from previous sites and chill out a bit, because that is the only way I am going to discover new, exciting, creative people after all!  You will always run across those people who have nothing better to do than troll, but for the most part, the Second Life journey is a positive one full of people looking to help each other live their best life ever!  And of course, when it comes to Second Life, that means decorating your personal world with gorgeous goodies you might not be able to afford in real life!

 

I guess you could call this an event extravaganza post since almost everything pictured is either currently at an event, or was showcased in a previous event.  With me being gone three months I feel like my home and my wardrobe are already outdated so after receiving goodies from unKindness and Serenity Style I decided to head out to the events to put together an entire scene with new decor pieces from across the grid.  I have been a fan of Bee Designs for awhile now and I was delighted to see them participating in the current rounds of The Crossroads and The Liaison Collaborative, and I was quite pleased at how well they went with the new collaborative effort from unKindness and Ariskea.  The Solace Nook collection is only available at Collabor88 and comes with the intricate Nook, available in different colors, as well as a set of four candles, a chandelier, table and plant; providing everything you need to create your own private retreat away from the rest of the world.  Each piece is incredibly well designed with an amazing attention to detail, reflected by the expert texturing and continuous theme.  If you are looking for well built furniture that mixes and matches well within all kinds of decorative spaces, then make sure to check out the pieces from Bee Designs, Serenity Style, and the new collection from two amazing creators, unKindness and Ariskea!
