I love dawn through my kitchen windows

I don't know about all of you, but I see dawn more times during the week than I would like, but the way the first rays dance through the windows into my kitchen always seems to take the edge off of the hour.  There is something magical in those first few moments as the sun peeks her head over the horizon to lightly strum her fingers across the landscape.  The world starts to stir as the warm rays caress the land and all those who live there.  It is the one peaceful moment I have in a day, so no matter how much I might complain, I do truly treasure those first few moment as dawn dances through my kitchen windows.

The Relay for Life Home and Garden Expo for 2016 has almost come to an end which means you have very little time left to head over and wander around all the amazing exhibits from some of the grids most amazing home and garden creators!  I will be bringing you several posts in the next two days as the event comes to a close just to give you all the incentive in the world to head over and take the chance to give a little back!  Every exhibitor has created at least two 100% donation items for the event meaning you get the chance to give a bit to a wonderful cause as well as pick up some great pieces, like the ones featured here tonight!  Do yourself a favor and check out all the wonderful posts listed on the website and stayed tuned for all the closing events, and make sure to join us for the Lantern release everyday at 4pm SLT!  Thank you for reading and happy shopping!

Somewhere along the line my Bohemian life became Hipster?

So for a few years now I have been hearing this term "hipster" and I haven't given it much thought really, why would I at my age?  That was until recently when I saw posts slipping in on some of my favorite "bohemian" feeds on different sites and I realized my style was very similar.  I don't really know how I feel about that, and I probably should do more research since for me it seems tied to a culture I am not a huge fan of, but time will tell.  I spent four hours putting this room together yesterday and I have to tell you I just fell in love with it all!  With the newest pieces from unKindness with their flair and whimsy and the fantastic creations from so many designers at the Home and Garden Expo, all with their well loved, well lived-in looks and lots of knickknacks tucked about the place....I was in heaven!  Everywhere you look there is something new and unique to find with everything pictured here found at Whimsical or at the Relay for Life Home and Garden Expo, keeping the shopping easy for you, with so many goodies to choose from!  To make sure you didn't miss anything, I have zoomed in a bit to give you a tour of my bohemian hipster life!

Whenever I get this much stuff together in a scene I just don't even know where to start with listing items for you all, so today I just started on the left and went from there!  I hope you like my new little space, I know I do as that is where I currently am holed up relaxing and listening to some tunes!  Hmm, maybe I do sound a bit like a "hipster"!

Lots of Shiny Baubles!

Ever since I was a little girl a Christmas Tree had to have a ton of lights and sparkles on it or I wasn't happy.  I will confess that on a six foot tree, two thousand lights isn't enough and my electricity bill during the Holidays, when Jesse and I are home, will attest to that fact.  I mean everyone puts lights on their homes, and around their yards and inside their houses with all kinds of pretty sparkling baubles, so why not make sure the tree is the brightest and most impressive of the displays?  Since we won't be putting a tree up at home this year I decided to put a very bright and glittery tree up to satisfy my need.

If you are lacking decorations for the Holidays then this is the perfect time to head out shopping on the grid as there are several themed events happening at the moment, and as you can tell I hit them all up pretty hard!  The Tannenbaum Holiday Market has been open for a bit and is worth the visit just to wander around, as the venue is well decorated with lots of little attractions, and of course a gacha area as well.  And if you have been looking for a way to give a little back this season then head on over to the SL 2015 Christmas Expo, a Relay for Life production where some or all of the proceeds from certain vendors will go to benefit the American Cancer Society through Relay for Life.  The event covers 4 sims with several stages featuring performing artists so make sure to check out the website listed below for all the details and event schedule.  One of the things I am glad to see this year is the numerous creators with ornament gachas at the events!  I like to decorate my own tree since it's about as crazy as the rest of my decorating, so I loved being able to combine styles and to show off all the little goodies.  I hope I inspired you to have a little more Holiday spirit and that you are planning on doing some shopping in the next few days at Tannenbaum and the SL 2015 Christmas Expo!
