Ole Times

By Lili B. ⋅ August 2, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

So, I was just visiting Tatty Soup, where I had never been before, and camming out on their homestead I spotted this house and started snapping away. It’s really, really nicely decorated. The house and most of the furnishings are from POST by Van Auster, and everything else comes mostly from Kopi, Clutter, North West, iTuTu, LISP Bazaar, tram, Y’s House, nordari, Second Spaces, Picnic and Tatty Soup (love their rusty tub at the mainstore, by the way). Sorry for not listing exact credits of everything, but there’s quite a bit, plus you can teleport and check things out yourself anyway, at least as of this posting (of course there’s no knowing that this will all be there forever, BUT THAT’S LIFE). I guess also there’s not much point in blogging edited pictures of stuff; but I was looking to age or distress the pics a little bit and when I tried black and white, I just thought, this looks, woah… nice. Noir and just slightly moody. I wish the SL viewers had a feature to see everything in black and white with adjustable contrast, grain and sepia too.

The Stuff Store

By Lili B. ⋅ May 12, 2011 ⋅ One comment

The Home & Garden Expo is around the corner, and with that, I wanted to make a little highlight on one excellent store I didn’t know before that specialises in retro furnishings: the Stuff Store. It doesn’t have too many items and it is fairly new, although once I had a moment to open the few packages I received, the name of the creator, Crias Rowlands, started to ring a bell to me, and indeed ! Once upon a time, years ago, as I was walking around the Wastelands I saw something I liked very much, so much I had to ask for it, even though the creator didn’t appear to have a store at the time (and that was Crias Rowlands, in case that wasn’t clear).

Knives Out

I’ve had many bits & bobs accumulating for months now because I’ve not really felt like doing a big décor post lately. But, enough ! I’ll at least air some of it out now, throw it together in a jumble even for just a snap or two, because I wanted to show this really, really pretty gift just out at Kari, for Christmas. Oh, and I apologise in advance for anymore gifts that may no longer be available…

Be-Bop-A-Lula

I’ve been looking forward to the opening of Lamb Bellic and Julliette Westerburg’s sim Lula for a long time (or Belmar as it was called then), ever since hearing that Turnip Sorbet was building a French village for them. It has been long in the making and so well worth the wait. I was excited for it, and the result goes way beyond my expectations ! So much attention to detail, down to the custom made fields, stone walls, shutters, etc…

This bitter earth

While working on my mainstore, I thought I’d make a little update post of sorts with some stuff I’ve made, and a few cute things I’ve collected in the past week in my inventory. Particularly this couch from ::POOKEA::, which comes in a bunch of colours, and whose shape and fabrics I love.

Nemo

I’m taking advantage that shadows appear not to crash me at the moment to do some sightseeing again and fluff up this present section a little ! Nemo is a steampunk sim that just opened.

DCCXXIII

By Lili B. ⋅ January 9, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Natu Ellils makes some of the best steampunk articles I’ve seen on the grid. What a discovery ! Some of the watches at DCCXXIII had me wish that I had them in real life. I also loved that you can demo everything, and they also have lots of gifts lying around as well as two lucky boards. The suitcase below is last month’s group gift, but you can still get it now.

Turnip’s™ Homes and Stuff

By Lili B. ⋅ December 4, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

Oi, Turnip Sorbet makes the cutest stuff ! I already had admired the shop that she built for Julliette Westerburg’s Très Blah mainstore, but I didn’t know that she had her own shop until I saw it participating in last week’s Black Friday event. So I went to Turnip’s Homes and Stuff yesterday, and oh my, have a look here, it’s just clap-your-hands fantastic.

Touching the curtain closes and opens it. Each of the two faucet knobs fills the tub with a different type of bathwater and of course, the shower head works, too. Everything comes scripted chock-full with goodness. 2500L for the tub, sink and toilet together, which can be bought separately too, no mod/no transfer.
