Fantasy Faire 2013 – Ravenshard


‘It’s a cartoon world!’ is one of the phrases my friend Ratt would shout at me when I got all depressed or too excited and so on about stuff happening in SL. He is right, ya know.. Today I visited the Ravenshard sim on the Fantasy Faire, and ‘it’s a cartoon world!’ Wow and yeaaaaah,…

Fantasy Faire 2013 – Fairelands Junction


Technically I should have started my coverage of the Fantasy Faire on the Fairelands Junction, as this is the main landing point of the event and it has the portals to all other sims. Portals, wonderfully made in trees! The Faireland Junctions is a magical forest, very lush and filled with colourful flowers. It is…

Fantasy Faire 2013 – Crimson Fields


So many sims, so little time! Reason for a second blog-post today, as I am really trying to cover all the amazing sims of the Fantasy Faire before the event ends (28th April, so you still have time left to go have a look and/or shop). This afternoon I went to Crimson Fields. I must…

Fantasy Faire 2013 – Evensong Woods


Another rainy and grey day over here in The Netherlands, and since my neighbour found it necessary to do some home improvement with the loudest.drill.ever. starting at 7AM…I was up early and decided to visit Evensong Woods, another beautiful sim in the Fantasy Faire 2013, pretending not to hear the drilling and sawing next door….

Yeah, why do I blog?


Strawberry’s weekly meme/challenge this week feels like a real interview! About blogging and the why and stuff. I decided to answer her 14 (!) questions. I also enjoyed reading the other bloggers posts, lots in common and also lots of different reasons and content. I will, as always, keep my answers strictly to Second Life…

Fantasy Faire 2013 – Lotus Valley Dream


Oh my, another blogpost on the Fantasy Faire 2013, but hey..I can’t help it; so many gorgeous sims to explore and so many wonderful builds to drool over. And to think I still have not shopped there yet! Anyway! This evening I spent on Lotus Valley Dream, created and designed by Marius Inkpen (who’s art…

Fantasy Faire 2013 – Valley of Ish’Nar


Ah, Sunday mornings…lovely! I woke up this morning by the sun peeping through the curtains, shining right in my face. Well, that and the incredible noise of a couple of Ducks in the river under my bedroom window, f…ahem…fighting! The joys of Spring! I made myself my favourite Sunday breakfast: hot coffee in huge mug…

Fantasy Faire 2013 – Lumenaria


Today the Fantasy Faire opened to the public and what a wonderful day in Second Life it was! Asset server troubles and whatnot with a, for me hilarious, consequence: I tried on the free, low lag, avatar you can pick up at any of the landing-points in the Fantasy Faire and I have not been…

Fantasy Faire 2013 – Titans Hollow


Now, if there ever was a challenge for photographers…..Titans Hollow, created and designed by Elicio Ember from Gerridwens Cauldron, is one! A truly amazing build, a huge cave with the shop hanging on chains like lanterns. The trick to get a good pic was in getting some sort of light in the cave and it…

Fantasy Faire 2013 – a sneaky preview….


The Fantasy Faire 2013 will open tomorrow, but I am privileged to have a sneak preview – and today was the day. Together with Ginger (she is a an official blogger as well, check out her blog for Fantasy Faire items!), I visited the Magnificat sim,  sponsored, landscaped and designed by Alia Baroque, of Fallen…

Happiness is liberty


Earlier this week I ended up in a wonderful place, a new entry in the photogenic section of the Destination Guide, with the poetic name: Happiness is Liberty. The sim is tastefully decorated with a bit of everything: a long coastline with a sandy/rocky beach, a magnificent forest where you can easily get lost, field…

What’s in a name?


Ah yeah, another challenge/meme from Strawberry and oh my, she really tries to let us bloggers tell the truth and nothing but the truth about our virtual life eh? This week’s meme is again a fun one, although I have seen this kind of questions before and participated on it on several online platforms, but…

The Garden is open!


The Garden is another liaison Collaborative, next to The Boutique in The Nest.  Not only does the building look wonderful –  I really got the feeling I was in a real garden centre as I know them in real life – but the items for sale are all too cute….It is amazing I managed to…

GOSH!


GOSH! is a, new to me, delightful place. It is the home of a gesture-shop, but besides that it is just lovely, serene, decorated and great for taking pictures. When walking around you will find sheep, stables and a barn. A farmhouse and cows! Also on top of the hill a snow covered ice-skating rink!…

Shall we dance?


When I checked out Azul this evening, I got a notice about a new release, I immediately fell for a wonderful gown in the colour ‘mandarin’..not the new release I went to see, but a the Jadhe Gown – designed for Miss Brazil 2013. Orange is one of my favourite colours in SL (well and…

Ease my troubles


Have I told you lately that I love you Have I told you there’s no one above you Fill my heart with gladness Take away my sadness Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
