Wonder & Fall Back from vacation last week and it was a busy one. So busy in fact that my holiday feels like it was 2 months ago instead of 2 weeks ago. That's partly because the SL shifted into the whole Fall/Halloween season while I was gone! And, I am here for it! I had seen some wips of this sweater for the absolutely glorious human being known as Emma Gilmour, the creator behind Mellow Elie.

The Kingdom of Bohemia I'm an avid listener of audiobooks. I have one on all day while I work and I'm currently listening to the complete Sherlock Holmes collection read, with gusto and aplomb, by the wonderful Sir Stephen Fry. I had just finished A Scandal in Bohemia when I was decorating this scene. I am seriously running out of time to show everything I want to from Velvet Bohème as not only does the event close on Sunday but I am also dashing off on holiday on Sunday too!

Happiness is Living as Close to Your Soul as Possible. I can't believe there is just a few days left of Velvet Bohème. I have so much I still want to show and share and talk about. The whole dream of this event coming to fruition has blessed me in so many ways.  I've made new friends, been inspired by bloggers and artists, been humbled by designers and revelled in sounds that were new to my ears and touched my heart.

Happiness is Living as Close to Your Soul as Possible. #SecondLife #VelvetBohemeSL

Never Too Late I've had a long friendship with Hunter, the founder and creator of Stealthic. We first met at an event set up in 2017 and almost our first conversation was about the pros and cons of his red pack. This was back in the day when I predominately wore ginger hair in Second Life. That conversation bloomed into a friendship which is heading towards a decade long.

My Space, My Peace Back in the day I knew someone in SL who named their avatar Poise. One day we were talking about names and I commented how the name suited her because she always seemed self-assure and carried herself well in her interactions with people. The more I thought about it the more I liked the word...Poise. It makes me think, calm, composed...graceful and having a touch of class.

Rustic Bites & Wine Nights The very first time I holidayed in Italy, in fact on the very first full day at my vacation spot I had an experience that set the tone for my love of Italy and of the people of the country. We had booked a holiday at a small, family-run hotel in Sorrento and arrived on the Saturday afternoon, 29th June 2002.

New Vlog Series – My Favourite Things Over the years a few people have asked me if I planned updating my video "Top 10 Landscaping Items" and I have considered it BUT I struggled to think how I could come up now, with just 10 items! Then I thought, why not break it down into subsets of landscaping items.... Then I thought....why just stick with landscaping? Lets include homes, shoes, hair, accessories....venues!

that's been around for a couple of years since LL throttled teleports because of the use of TP Hammers

We holidayed a lot in Sorrento when the children were younger. The bay of Naples view is always breathtaking. My fave is from Monte Solaro.

Easy Afternoon It's almost 24 hours since the launch of SeraPlus, the membership perk that Seraphim have curated and created with Linden Lab and 8 of Second Life's finest designers. It's been a lot of hard work and also one of the business projects I have been most proud of in all my years in Second Life. As someone with a love of all things decor I was particularly excited to see what Nutmeg created.
