Mellow Yellow

ITS NOT SPRING YET! Well at least, it aint here in the cold n rainy UK bah humbug ;) BUT the sun shone in SL and today it certainly brightened my mid week blarghy mood.

YAY, I braved it to the Carwash sim event and just about made it through the lag in one piece ;)) Its an awesome event with lots of great designers putting out a whole bunch of stuffs that is no more than $10 each, often alot less. Can you say BARGAIN ;)) There is TONS of stuff to look at and I am only going to show you a few of my fave bits from some of my fave designers.

Ahhhh now I feel warm and fuzzy and no I am not even enjoying a glass of vin rouge ;P

Beautiful Yellow Skybox, picture frames, golden star, candle, table and benches, chalk board, vase and directors chair all by the wonderful Amalicious of La'Licious Designs.

LOVELY desk, lamp, lights, bamboo plant & cushions by [Mudhoney].

Poster by Sirens Song.

Cactus, yellow and black table and unit are from house on fire.

Finally, the stunning retro gramaphone and records on the table are by *FIN*.

Now thats what I call ANOTHER FREEBIE ROOM

XD! For a birthday a long long long time ago, I got an album, YUS VINYL babies, called *Now Thats What I Call Music Vol 1* haha I was only a wee lil thing but I remember feeling super grown up to have my own album ;P YUS I am that old, NO this has nothing really to do with my post, I am just in that kinda mood. I think all the 80's fashion has made me nostalgic. I never liked it the first time round when I was a small girl n I dont like it now XD XD! Anyway, that is another story.

ONWARDS! The last 2 weeks have seen us totally spoiled with some wunderful household freebies and group gifts that just make me jump up n down like a giddy thing. So as always I am excited to share them with you all ;)).

The awesomely talented and wickedly fantastic wench Amisha March of Insight Designs made this super cute vintage board as a group gift. I have been itching (not literally ewww) to blog it since she released it. It is oh so cute and has many textures you can switch between. I may be biased but I swear that she and Jewell (distressed Textures) make the most gorgeous textures in SL ever between them ;)

AND THEN, LaLicious release a super amazing and generous sofa, table and rug as a group gift! AND THEN, Mocha release an adorable shelf in 4 colours and put them in their LUCKY BOARD (or you can buy for a mere $80 each if you can't wait). AND THEN, Amisha makes another super awesome freebie, the lovely heart pictures. AND THEN (yus more)

I hear that the wonderful LP2 Interiors is back open with YAY an awesome group gift <3>

Ah so, if that wasnt enough freebie gorgeousness I hopped on by Muu's workshop and YAY she has a super cute dining set in her camp prizes. SO I sat n chilled my boots for 30 mins n got a lovely table and some chairs OH and a plant (not pictured).

More gorgeousness with the plant from Muu's, a free jigsaw thats oh so cute, and and freebies from Mocha (shelf), Dutchie (newspaper) AND Via from TLND (true love never die) made gorgeous stripy pots to celebrate the opening of her store at Albero :))

So, phew, as if that all wasn't enough I was a goin through my Starlust hunt prizes and came across this wonderful record rack from pointee :)) Free pics YAY from OHMAI! and double YAY. THEN Mocha then released a super cute notice board as a group gift :))))

LOVELY beautiful and gorgeous free tulips from the ever generous .Nocc and are all lucky board prizes from her stores in various sims.

More super cute free pots from Dutchie OH OH and the lovely house this is all taken in. POSSIBLY my most beloved freebie home EVER is so lovely and a gift from Zacca ;)

Also cute, this wonderful free swing bench from Nonino.

FINALLY, just as I was nearly done, Lalicious puts this cute cute garden set in their lucky board! The shade changes texture and its just such amazing quality as always.

Snug as a bug in a rug in ma SNUG

I have always wanted a snug of my own. Its kinda like a cross between an art gallery and relaxing place. Well mine is anyway. I fell in love with this picnic prefab and had to have it. Having already set up a veru happy home in my Y's house I spent a while thinking how best to use this lovely building. As you can see, its pretty big for a snug but hey, the beautiful of SL is not being limited by such things ;))

So, I filled my snug with some of my favourite artwork in SL and then set about decorating around it. Items on the table are from Picnic, Second Spaces, What Next and Lalicious Designs ;)

Lovely muted snowy pictures. The first is from [What Next] & its only $40 I do believe and it is just lovely. The 2nd picture on the easel is by the ever so talented Jewell Lamourfou and is a rockin $25 and oh so lovely. You can add your own picture but I loved that one so much. Old frame is another $20 bargain from [What Next] and the lovely candle lamps are by *Lotta and are only 3 prims YAY.

IF you havent ever been to Kalavinka Gallery then I recommend you do IMMEDIATELY ;) Caca's artwork is not only stunningly beautiful but its so thought provoking PLUS she is an absolutely the sweetest person too. I wish I owned all her artwork but I can't wait for her to paint so more. The cutest ottoman in the world is by Trash Wahwah and has lots of colour options and is cheap, I think it was $50 (I may need to check) but wow, great job Trash. Lil sparkly incence is by Urbanized & I SLOVE it.

of Caca's artwork with the beautiful Calm Wood by Neom Grut, another amazingly talented and lovely artist. The big squishy sofa is by sTwo Acker and is colour change and 6 prims! The lovely rug, I spent ages looking for, is from Dutchie (of course). Finally, for this pic, the cute antlers are also from Trash and the lovely picture of St Catherine is by Andie Button. WHO I WANT TO MAKE MORE THINGS PLEASE! KKTHNXBAI ;))

YAY more of Caca's art ;P AND the lovely and snuggly alpaca rug from *Plaaka* and the lovely lamp n log thingy set from [pda] which was a $50 friday but is out for sale again in an updated version ;) And....... one of my angels which I love and have them all around my home. They are from LPHS and were.... gawd..... $200 tops for 3 and are copy so YAY, love em.

And a final look, the lovely picture in the middle is also by Neom Grut and again, more sparkly incence from Urbanized.

Cupids Garden

OK so I totally FAIL at resisting the urge not to blog and although I have done a run of Freebie Rooms I do promise I will get back to blogging other items not just freebies soon. So on my last tip o the cap to valentines day I created not a freebie room, more of a freebie garden. Enjoy ;)

Gorgeous swing bench from Rucott in the Cupids Heart Hunt. Tree with the rose petals Valentine gift from BCD I think it was the starlust hunt gift.

ROFL so cute, I tried not to scare my good guy pal Kael who valiently volunteered to humour me and show off the poses in these gifts. He is a good sport. Cute cushion free in the M2M hunt, which varies from 0 - $10 but has cute stuffs.

Ahhhhhhhhh I love this, cute cute garden with balloons n poses n flowers YAY, a super generous group gift from MB-CrationZ <3.> Finally, 2 scenes from the stunning Starlust hunt gift from Kusshon. Its so cute and comes with candles, rose petals, rugs n smoochie poses galore. I am showing you the tame ones cos yanno, poor Kael ;))

And even though I know how very far apart we are, it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star.

I really was trying not to do another valentines room but there were so many gorgeous things still in my inventory I couldnt resist.

The bed is BIG, and has 2 poses and is another generous group gift from A.D.D Andel who I first found during the Haiti Relief Fundraiser and quickly fell in slove with the store. Lamp is a fave freebie from Jordan Giant, Birth Of Venus art print from NN museum lucky board and the gorgeous frames I got from the Loft mini store at Albero YAY $1 bargains. Whats in the box? A present? FOE ME? Why yes, yes it was a gorgeous group gift from the lovely Eliza at Patron. Not only is the box itself stunning but it had the beautiful dragonfly cushion inside so so beautiful.

Fly me to the moon :) I love this moon seat and thought it looked good on the wall ;P part of the starlust gift from the wonderful LeMelange. Table MMG's yes I use it in every post I make it seems but it is so awesome how can you blame me. Petals on the floor were also part of the Patron Valentines Group gift!

Love letters straight to my heaaartttttt, OH I am full of the songs today I apologise ;) Ahem, the pretty pot is from Bettiepage Voyager whose work just gets better and better, starlust hunt. The candle is one of the gorgeous ones in the True Love Never Die feb group gift set. I just love the mish mash of letters and things on the desk, its another V Day gift from +Olive+ and they have one for boys AND one for girls in the pack YAY.

Time for a quick 50 winks as we say in the UK and where better than on one of the lovely chairs from itutu and the cupid hunt. The table is a lovely shabby red from La Flat and is free. Bottle of wine and glasses freebie from Drobak and just so pretty. The rose in the vase and red candle and petals were also in the lovely gift from What Next that I blogged yesterday. Art prints again NN museum lucky board.

The LOVE ornament is $1 from PopArt and the key which I use alot but again, I love it so I dont care is another cute free find from PATRON.

Rug an dposes from **Nikukyu** in the Cupid Hunt, Choc $1 from MMG's and lovely red tulips in pot are free at {{{nocc.}}} FREE I tell you FREEE to celebrate opening of the new store.

Finally my Love Shack which gave me the inspiration to do a more decadent valentines freebie room is the dreamy Hidden Sunrise Skybox by *NUT*. Its really cosy and lovely and rock n roll shabby I think and is FREE in the starlust hunt. I wish you all a very happy Valentines day or Happy New Year ;)) More about that later.

Twas the day before Valentines

and all through the house, not a creature was stirring not even a mou......... NIMS!

Ssssssssssh, don't wake her ;)

I have been planning on doing a Valentines Version of a Freebie Room but was lacking inspiration until I received the wonderful group notice that Amalicious Destiny had put her gorgeous Dreams sky box on her lucky board for a limited time. YAY so I grabbed me some of that stylish pink loveliness and I was off!
The plant is part of the valentines freebie set from Urbanzied, its not around for much longer so grab it while you can. The planter changes colour so its great fun. The bed and lamp are from PopArt which I discovered through the lovely Jennaa Loire whose blog I have admired for ages. Imagine how happy I was when she took up the freebie room challenge YAY. See her gorgeous room here http://jennaaloire.blogspot.com/. The bed and lamp are $1 each, EVERYTHING at PopArt is $1 I LoVE IT! The pictures are a group gift from a place I just discovered called *Le Melange* and are so cute, I took a close up so you could see them better.
Ah so back to the day before valentines and what to wear? XD! The cute undies and shoes and bracelet worn here and above are a gift on the Starlust Hunt which rocks. The stool is a camp prize from one of my faves Muu's Workshop. Oh and rug is from Y's, I never get bored of these rugs and are still at Albero, although I am not sure for how long.
Still sleepy and a big stretch before chugging that cup of coffee and writing all those last minute love notes and valentines cards *cough*. Table MMG's. Plant and books from PopArt, Candle is a gift from What Next OMG I love that store. Picture board is the starlust gift from Molto Bene and you can add 3 of your own pics. Love notes are from Atelier AM and are part of their Cupids Heart Hunt Gifts. So I finally wake up that sleepy head and wander into the lounge, just enough time to stretch out on my new sofa and daydream about all those valentines I am going to get.../me watches that flying pig fly over head XD! Sofa, Rug, Shelf & items, Cushions ALL yes ALL are a gift from What Next gorgeous gorgeous GORGEOUS <3>

So a while later I have got my lazy ass into a dress and layed the table with valentines goodies and lit the fire and now all I need to do is wait for my romeo (whoever he may be) to appear ;)) Well you never know...................... ;))
Table & chairs and valentines goodies all a gift for the lovely Beolas of Kusshon ;)) Rugs Y's and fire from PopArt <3

There is music in the beauty, and the silent note that cupid strikes, far sweeter than the sound of an instrument; for there is music wherever there is harmony, order or proportion; and thus we maintain the music of the spheres.

This isnt the post I was intending to add today but I always get distracted especially like last night (my time) when Hart Larson of PXL spoiled us with an amazingly beautiful and perfect valentines group gift. The gift incldes the lovely skin, bow, quiver and wings and is just sooooooooo cute.

Close up on the quiver so pretty.

and on the wings

and on the bow <3

Cyber Cupid heads off into the sunset to harass I MEAN shoot her arrows of lurve in the general direction of SL couple in despair *apparently*.
