Welcome to the Coven, enjoy your first tea party! Featuring LiViD

It has been over a year now since I have blogged anything from LiViD, and whether that has been unconsciously on purpose, of if I have just missed the deliveries with my absences, I don't know. But for the year prior to that, almost every post I did for LiViD I did in combination with one of the most amazing women to ever walk this planet. Last April she left this world which was filled with pain and illness for her, and entered the world of angels, which is appropriate, since that was her name. When I saw the delivery at the end of last week from LiViD I actually smiled and got excited about doing a post with my friend on my mind. I could hear her in my ear as I decorated this scene, "put this there", "that looks stupid woman, move that thing," and instead of feeling the intense sense of loss that has accompanied my thoughts of her over the year, I was smiling and blew a kiss to the heavens, it was refreshing, to say the least. Grief is a fickle flower in my opinion, because it often jumps up to bite you at the most unexpected times, and it isn't until a moment like this that you realize you have moved past the grief to a better place. I miss her terribly and every day she is on my mind but it no longer paralyzes me, and I hope those who shared her light are starting to feel the same way. And to celebrate that, let's have a tea party with your local witches or the Coven next door.

LiViD has released two different tea collections in April, the Coven Tea Party set is a new release in the store that comes complete with tables, chairs, tea, as well as Tea Leaf Reading and Rune sets, and an adorable black cat curled up on the ottoman. Also, the Witches Tea Party set is party of the Egg Hunt going on in the store, which has several pieces not featured here so make sure to "hop" by the store and get your hunt on to check out all the truly fabulous pieces from LiViD. Every piece in both collections is incredibly well made and textured with an amazing attention to detail. Check out that leather texture! It is truly gorgeous and you can count on these chairs becoming a permanent part of my home (when I finally get one set up again)! I love all the little details in these sets, like the Raven holding the invitation, tea leaf reading cups, to the Black Hat Society Memorial which I thought belonged up on the mantle, but of course pick yours up and decorate until your heart is content! Be sure to check out the list below so you can also pick up the altar from Soy as well as the pentacle rug from unKindness, a past release, which happen to work quite nicely with the sets from LiViD. Enjoy your shopping and remember being a witch isn't just about Halloween, so invite your favorite witch over for some tea and make their heart happy!

“When the world is itself draped in the mantle of night, the mirror of the mind is like the sky in which thoughts twinkle like stars.” ― Khushwant Singh

From time to time, over the years, I have gone through bouts of insomnia, usually when under severe stress. Which means I am not exactly surprised by the fact that I have been waking every night between midnight and 2 am and staying up for a couple of hours before being able to snuggle back up in bed. Time seemed to have gone into fast forward the past month and the stress of finalizing the move, my soon to be landlord making things a bit difficult, health insurance being, and a sudden health crisis have me pacing the living room in the wee hours of the morning. If you have ever suffered from insomnia, then you know your brain seems to be running in the highest gear possible causing you to ruminate over even the most mundane of topics. I try to keep those demons at bay by reading, or playing pool on my phone, which has become a new addiction, or doing a bit of yoga, and often a combination of all of the above! I realized very early this morning, as I stood on the porch watching a Red-tailed Hawk eye the birds flitting around for their breakfast in the newly mowed field that one thing I haven't managed to put on my new phone is MUSIC! I am starting to go through a bit of withdrawal since I am used to having Spotify, Youtube, or the radio when at home, and the new house still has no net so two of those things are out of the question, as is a radio since I still haven't found where I packed mine! Soothing techniques are important when you happen to be a late night, early morning, restless and anxious person; and I have an arsenal at my beckoned call, but sometimes your brain just doesn't want to sleep. When I saw my Doctor the other day, I told her about the most recent spell of sleeplessness and she told me to wait about 10 minutes before getting out of bed, and if I am still restless to then get up and take a bath and relax and just let my brain do it's thing. I was kind of amused, to be honest, because that is really the last thing you expect from a Physician, but then again, I picked her for that very reason. So I guess, until the stress subsides, or my brain decides it's time for a full nights sleep, I will be tossing and turning all night! (You had to know I was going to end up tying this up to a song, right?!)

As I have said in the past, I absolutely love blogging for the We Love to Blog group mainly because I get to see creations from new designers before most people know their names, and so I feel a bit like I get to introduce them to everyone! Which, is a tad bit self centered, since there are plethora of amazing bloggers who are part of the group who showcase these Creators as well. If you don't know anything about We Love To Blog, then make sure to click >HERE< and check it out!

I had never heard of I'piteme until recently when I started receiving boxes to blog, and I have to say I am truly impressed by the textures and wonderful attention to detail that goes along with every piece. I have not taken off this jeans and tank combo in more days than I care to admit, but they are perfect for ME, and the ensemble has made it's way into my daily wear folder, which means if I saw it at an event, even though I had never heard of the designer, I would be buying it for myself! The Whiskey Girl Tank and Jeans come in a wide variety of colors, and you can choose to have "Whiskey Girl" written across the chest or not, which when paired with the jeans, they are a must have addition to your closet, so head on over to the store and see for yourself all the fantastic creations of I'piteme!

"What you had and what you lost. They're all memories in the wind. Those days go by, and we all start again." The Offspring

Not quite sure what has me reminiscing today, but I have been thinking about the years I spent traveling back and forth between Phoenix and Huntington Beach, California back in the mid-90's. I met a lot of interesting people and had a lot of fun, though there was a lot of pain in my life. After all these years I can look back fondly, instead of seeing only the painful things, and it's a lot like looking at old photographs; the memory remains but the raw emotions have now faded leaving only a dusty imprint on my soul. For some people, this never seems to happen, and I wish there was a magic switch to flip to reveal to them the lessons they learned instead of them becoming a slave to the pain of the past. But I guess that is part of what makes us all so very different from each other, and I wouldn't change that for the world. Since I seem to communicate better through music than I do verbally, at time, I recently shared a song with my son that touched on this exact topic and decided to use it today for my post so I could share this sentiment with all of you. Every moment of your life, no matter how hard it may be, is just a passing moment. When things seem a bit too rough, and you have lost even a pinpoint of light at the end of the tunnel, remind yourself that this too shall pass, and that sun will rise again tomorrow bringing with it a whole new light and new perspective. These days will go by just like those magical moments you wished would never end, but the photographs in your mind will always take you back, if you want to look.

If you read my earlier post today then you know I have fallen in love with this adorable new dress from POSH Pixels, currently available at Swank, unless they have closed up shop for the month, then check the main store, I have provided both links below. The Hair Fair 2016 is in full swing which means you just have to head on over as soon as you can to pick up some fantastic new creations as well as donate to a good cause since a percentage of every sale goes to benefit Wigs for Kids. I fell in love with this hair from ICONIC as soon as I set my eyes on it and well I haven't taken it off unless having to do a post! It lies wonderfully over the breasts and along the back without breaking, which is always a plus in my book. So head on over NOW, you won't be disappointed!

I am so excited to announce that unKindness is in this round of Shiny Shabby with fabulous new pillows and benches all in the classic boho styling which is the main influence for this round of the event! The benches come in 3 different color combinations and the pillows come in Boho and Shabby, which I think work perfectly together in my little retreat at home. The textures and color combinations are to die for and the more pillows the better, in my opinion, so hurry on over and grab yours today! Peeking down from the ceiling is something I picked up at The Epiphany that I adore! Foxes gacha has all kinds of goodies for your home as well as a Rare cottage in Dark as well as the special exclusive being the cottage in Light, with every piece in the gacha available in light and dark so you can furnish each one! Poke me in-world if you are looking for any pieces of this, I will gladly negotiate, as I have a couple of the Rare Starlights pictured here, as I am sure they would make a great addition to your home today!

She's beautiful but deadly

"The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason, he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything." Friedrich Nietzche

A beautiful woman is something many take for granted as being vapid and easily manipulated, which makes her in all reality, incredibly dangerous. But a beautiful and intelligent woman is probably the most dangerous creature on earth, male or female, you won't ever see her coming. She ends up with the house, the money, and the car right before she disappears into thin air, leaving you aching and wondering how you could be so dumb. But don't worry, you won't be the first or the last of her victims so at least you might find someone to drown your sorrows with because this is the kind of woman who will never get caught!

Needing to take a bit of a time out in my inspirational corner

I don't know about most of you but I use Facebook for the majority of my promotional work for my blog as well as for the shop I work for, and the last ten days have proven frustrating. Apparently someone can report you for spam and Facebook just blocks without researching, which means I have had a whopping two whole days of being able to share posts in groups. I am so frustrated at the moment that I honestly am having a hard time finding my creativity. Luckily for me I started designing this space prior to my annoyance, which means I have a gorgeous spot to sit, breathe and relax while I try and come up with some solutions for the issue currently at hand.

As the month comes to a close in a few more days, so do many of the months events as well, which means you better get on your shopping shoes and head on out before it's too late. This gorgeous bench is from unKindness as well as the iron wall pieces and you can only find them at the current round of The Liaison Collaborative that ends on the 30th. The Old World Patio Bench comes in PG and Adult versions and has a LI of only 3, and the art pieces only 1LI meaning they can be added to any décor without harming your land prims, which is always a plus in my book. And if you are looking for another light source for your home or garden then make sure to check out the Lovelace Indoor Trees, also from unKindness, at the Wayward Winter event. You have four different sets to choose from, and each set comes with two trees, one with lights and one without. If wanting to get your hands on any of the goodies pictured here then check out the details below and happy shopping!

This is going to be a Christmas fit for a Princess, and it's about time I had one

I have always wanted my very own fairy tale mirror with lights, and preferably a Fairy God Mother, but we know that isn't going to happen, but as luck will have it, I now have my very own Princess Mirror! I might have gotten a bit excited when I saw this mirror was going to be at The Fantasy Collective and I actually made myself wait to get it until yesterday, if you can believe it, but I was waiting for the crowds to die down and to really have time to look around. That event makes me crazy though because I have a tendency to get lost in all those winding paths and crisscrossing pathways, but when I am on a mission it doesn't matter, that mirror was going to be mine! I happened up on a few other things while I was there, which was a happy surprise as well, so check out the website for the event to grab the shopping guide and get your hands on some wonderfully whimsical items!

I was actually putting all of this together for another post when I finally connected with the wonderful Luana Barzane and got all my blogger stuff and two gorgeous new gowns for Amarelo Manga! The Nilfa Long Gown has a fantastic Teal to Gold fade from the bottom to the top that is flawless and the dress fits magnificently well without breaking or stretching as I posed and moved around. Looking for a curve hugging, cleavage baring dress for the Holiday season then make sure to head on by the store today!

I often think that nail designers don't get a lot of credit for the hard work that they do, so I am trying to make sure I include them in my posts with a close up to spotlight the incredible designs made on such a tiny platform! This release can only be found at the SL 2015 Christmas Expo right with all or part of the proceeds going to benefit Relay for Life, so you get fabulous nails AND get to donate to a wonderful cause! What could be better?!

"The home should be the treasure chest of living." Le Corbusier

"If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace."
Gaston Bachelard


Dreamer's Hideaway

For over a year and a half now, since my return to SL, I have felt very unsettled. I was an untethered balloon being tossed about by the winds of change. Though many a time I have had a place to call home, it was always shared and I felt like a squatter. For a few months now I have had my own land and for most people, a home. Something felt off... The houses were always too big, and I only decorated one or two rooms; or they just didn't fit with "me." I have set up and taken down three different homes now and I was beginning to think I would never feel at home on SL, which was breaking my heart. Last week, the night before FaMESHed opened I wandered by Seraphim to check out the gallery and when I laid my eyes on the the new collection from Tromp Loeil a scene began to create itself in my mind and off I ran to the event to pick up the Tulia Greenhouse and it's accessories. Between the greenhouse, unKindness's release of the Stiks Lights at FaMESHed, last month's round of Epiphany and the Gacha Garden, I realized my perfect attic eclectic style would come together nicely in this intimate space. I greatly modified the greenhouse to accommodate all of my knickknacks, books and various pieces of furniture, and yes I love the cluttered look. I don't need anything more than a small space to entertain friends in, or to just sit and relax.

“Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration.” Charles Dickens

A Dreamer's Hideaway

"The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned." - Maya Angelou

Just in case you all missed the hype from the last round of The Gacha Garden, I am going to let you in on the secrets! The Gacha Garden is a whole new experience where every machine has a Seed of Inspiration gift after 20 pulls! Seriously ONLY twenty plays!! Now I know many are skeptical and I know I was at first, thinking I would get 20 of the same simple item in the gacha and then the Seed of Inspiration. This was not the case, and as you can tell I had a great time and picked up oodles of new items for my home and for my wardrobe. I promise you will not be disappointed, so HURRY!!!!

Getting ready for a little Moon Magick

It has been 10 years now since I had to stop working due to illness but at this time of year I am reminded of the double life I used to lead, well at least it seemed that way. I spent most of my days in a suit talking to Doctors, Lawyers, Police Officers, Judges and people with Serious Mental Illnesses who also happened to have substance abuse problems. It was very stressful but it was what drove me and inspired me. But when you deal with intense issues on a daily basis you have to find a release, and mine was found in my faith and spirituality. I am a tad bit high-strung at my best and I tend to wear masks well, which means that no matter the situation that arose I kept my cool until I opened the door of my home and stepped inside my space. As I kicked off my shoes I lit Sage, or an incense and often ended up standing near the smoke, breathing deeply I would let the day melt away. As I put together this new ensemble from POSH PIXELS I was reminded of those nights as this is something I would have had hanging in my closet for work; combined with the gorgeous Moon Magnifiers from Pure Poison at this round of Collabor88 and the scene was set. Well, I should really say mood, since this happens to be my bedroom so the scene was already set...just waiting now for the moon to rise.

The Peyton ensemble which consists of the dress and boots, and the matching jewelry set, Leaves of Change are currently only at the September round of Fashion Limited, which means there are only 250 copies available! The event started on the 5th and ends on the 30th but with all the items being limited releases the sooner the better! The texturing and detailing is fantastic and the entire outfit is perfect for the upcoming Autumn with its deep reds, golds and browns. Do yourself a favor and head on over to the event today and get your hands on this beautiful ensemble, and if you too are looking to decorate your house in a way that better represents your spirituality then make sure to head to this round of Collabor88. The theme is Muted Coven and you will find this wonderfully mystical table, accessories and rug from unKindness and the Moon Magnifiers from Pure Poison available for you to get your hands on at AMAZING prices, so what are you waiting for?! HURRY!!! I hope you enjoyed another little peek inside my world and don't mind me, I am off to relax for a little bit with a massage and then later tonight, trust me when I say, I will be having a conversation with the Moon.

I have often been called an old school hippie, old soul or a mystic. Throughout my whole life wild patterns, bright colors, and wildly eclectic design styles have drawn me in and held me captive. I hate a stoic home or room, makes me wonder if the people who live in that space are just as bland. Recently I have given everyone a peek into my comfort zone which has ended up in me taking a lot of pictures at home recently, which makes my life so much easier! I thought I had things pretty much set up until I opened this amazing collection from [CIRCA] and KNEW I would be redecorating a bit, especially after my adventure over at the Gacha Garden! The Gypsy MoonSea Collection is currently only available at Swank for 50% for the duration of the event, so HURRY before it heads to the store at full price!

The collection consists of dresser, ornate mirror, bonsai tree, candles, two floor rugs, 2 pillows and 2 chests, one with accessories and one without. The detailing along the trunk and dresser are hand drawn and the attention to detail is truly amazing. If you too are addicted to the shabby chic, or attic eclectic look, as I like to call it, then wait no longer and head on over to Swank, you won't be disappointed!
