Today, while the rain kept me inside, I rummaged around my house, sorting my stuff into two piles: the keep and for Mom's Garage sale.  I came across some old Polaroids from when I was younger, when we went camping every summer - when life was so much simpler.  No, I won't be sharing those here - it was during those awkward years in the 80's.  But I will share with you my Second Life version of them (without the awkwardness). And it will give me a chance to share some accessories and furniture that I've picked up recently. :-)

Here's a quick post before I eat dinner....I had taken this picture of Sweeter Than Candy's Group Gift awhile ago and forgot to post :-(   Bad Trin!

This was an interesting little hunt (20 stores) that I came across.  You had to find the shooting star and try to catch it.  You just waited until it came to you.  Love those types of hunts ;-)

The hunt starts here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Killtower/241/52/3604
Info can be found on the so what? blog

Lots of Swimsuits to show you from Thalia....all group gifts or Midnight Mania - meaning they are all free. :-)

These first two pictures are from the Midnight Mania prize called 'Summer Love'


I think this is my favorite!

The next three are from the group Bikini gift. Join the group and click away :)





In all these pictures I am wearing Magika's Nicole hair and Belleza Elle skin.

I wish I could remember the poses in these pictures.  I'm using a new HUD and it doesn't show the names of the pose - I've got to correct that...somehow.

Just going to blog about the clothing I bought right now.  I'll write another post for the furnishings (since I create furniture myself, I have a special place in my heart for it).

First off, Tiny Bird never disappoints with their 50L Friday offerings.  The hairs are so cute and feminine. And this time around, a lovely dress with pockets, that now has me on the search for a hands in my pockets type of pose (well, it's added to my ever-growing list of places I've got to check out.  I need to start checking places off that list soon before it becomes a book LOL).






















Next up is the very casual outfit from Reek.  I love the color blue so that's in its favor.  Also, the shoes are awesome!  Love that they have different colors for the stripes.  I will be using these sandals and socks through out the summer months.  I had to go with some type of ponytail and this is one of my all time favorites from Magika.












































And my final stop (for clothes, that is) was Sand Shack Surf Co.  Each week they are part of 50L Friday's, I am finding more and more I like there.  This week, my hands were full with my purchases...but I'll just show you the 50L item :)  This gray striped sweater seems perfect for a spring night...maybe by a fire...or maybe at the beach after a long day of surfing...  Boy, as I write this, I so want to start looking into a RL vacation somewhere!

Okay, back to the post.  I've paired the sweater with a pair of Surf Co. jeans I picked up today while waiting for the FLF item to rez.  Do the shop owners do that on purpose?  LOL.











































One more pic...It's not me, but what was in front of me while I was waiting for stuff to rez at Tiny Bird.  Seriously?  WTF!?!  I know SL is not real but how the heck is this a trend now?  It's crap!  (hehehe)  Cover your ass!

I ❤ freebies and group gifts....oh, and hunts!  And today I happened upon a great (free) pose prop by Juxtapose called "Country Days".  It reminded me of summer days, playing in the fields when I was younger, so my look today goes back to those days, and I used mostly free items in creating this look.
