A dream that you have made reality


It's been quite awhile
You've really kept me wanting you
You've got some style, you're so unique
So beautiful, so warm, so deep
Stay with me tonight
Let me know what kind of love
That will remain, forever be
A dream that you have made reality

               ~~ Loving You, Nina

The moon is shining on my guitar


In the still of night, I'm astir alright
With the wind through the trees and the shining stars
I hear the sounds
yeah, there all around
And the moon is shining on my guitar
The moon is shining on my guitar

One waking candle
Won't quell the moon's spell
As autumn's spell spreads it's reach
I've held the sun all summer long
And with my feet touched the earth beneath

Then autumn's wind came
Snuffed the candle flame
Leaving the moonlight and the midnight song
Leaving the moonlight and the midnight song


 'Sun and fire and candlelight
To all this world belong
But the moon pale and the midnight
Let these delight the strong'

I hear the sounds
Yeah, they're all around
The wind through the trees and the wailing owl
The hollow tone off the midnight song
Slowly singing autumn's swollen howl

Without a plan, just this restless hand
Scrawling notions from the whispering stars

In the still of night, I'm astir alright
And the moon is shining on my guitar
The moon is shining on my guitar

                       ~~ The Moon Is Shining On My Guitar, in Gowan Ring

Our place to relax and renew


Pamper yourself with this lovely release by Dreamland Designs, at Swank!  This is the London Vintage Bed.  It contains animations, mostly bento in a new engine, to enjoy your intimacy with a loved one.  It's really beautiful.  The breakfast tray rezzes with the bed, or can be purchased separately.  And, when the crate it arrives in is pretty too, you keep it out.

A HUGE thumbs up!  Don't delay, we're nearing the end of this round and you don't want to miss this item.

Happy shopping!

Fashion date - part deux


Here is the outfit I wore in my previous post.  I LOVE this set by LUXE Paris, called EDGE.  It consists of a dress and long sweater jacket.  These are coordinated separates, so wear together or mix with other lovelies in your inventory.  You can find this set at Swank, but hurry!

My backdrop is again the CEBO backdrop called Fitting Rooms, also at Swank.  This is a pose included in its pose hud.  Anyone can use this but particularly bloggers; I can think of hundreds of ways to use it, adding more decor and props and avatars and, and, and....

One final quick note,.  I am soooooo happy to be able to pull out previous well-made system items with the dawn of BOM.  I think this outfit rocks with tights to complete the look.  I'm wearing the bottom section of the system full body stocking Sn@tch.  Can't wait to find what else is still in my inventory.  Ohhh, Blacklace too.... :p

Happy shopping!

Fashion date with a friend to try on clothes


We're winding down with Swank's theme of "Renew Yourself." At the event you'll find a backdrop by CEBO called "Fitting Rooms."  What an appropriate release!  This backdrop is elegant and it can be used purely for photo ops, or keep it rezzed blending into a store or personal use area.  It does include decor and poses.  I added a lovely cage chandelier by Kaerri, but all other decor is included.  

My next post shortly will show you my outfit.

Happy shopping!

If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need


Cicero, a Roman consul in 63 BC, was quoted as saying "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need."  I think the same holds true today.  Relax in the midst of a beautiful garden and let a book take you on a journey.  Yes, I read on my Kindle, even on my cell phone.  Still, there's something so tangible and REAL about holding a book and flipping its pages.  Have you ever read a book you were so into, you couldn't wait to find out what happened at the end?  Then, you read the final page and feel like you've lost a friend?  I want good books to go on and on.  

Fortunately, some stories are published as a series.

If I could I would, but what I can I WILL


I wish I could wave a magic wand and wish away the devastation of the Australia bushfires, I would.  If I could place the animals near a waterfall with a wealth of clean water and food sources, I would.

But I can't.  And I can't be there to physically help.

One thing I CAN do is something we do in Second Life, every day.  Shop.  Shop stores taking part with their donations to the Australia Bushfire Wildlife Benefit.  I've seen the magic created from our collective purchases for other causes.  THIS cause not only impacts Australia, it impacts ALL of us.  And, ALL of us, need to help.  More info follows.

Original Mesh Kangaroo
100% of all sales goes to the RSPCA.org.au.
This item is on sale at the store until at least the end of January
Noon on Friday 24th January until Midnight Sunday the 26th January.

I feel winter warm with you


It's a snowy kind of blowy day
But your kisses make December
Seem just like May –
Here in your arms I'm winter warm!

All the birds are flying south in pairs
It may go to ten below outside
But who cares?
Here in your arms I'm winter warm!

Tonight was made for lovers to embrace
A time to dream and reminisce
And all the embers in the fireplace
Just glow each time we kiss!

Is it snow or white confetti in disguise?
Strange, but when you smile
The wintry wind softly sighs!
Here in your arms I'm winter warm –
Winter warm with you!

                ~~ Winter Warm, Gale Storm
