Hope Springs Eternal

Happy Sunday!  The SL Home & Garden Expo 2016 will come to a close this evening.  If you haven’t stopped by yet, this is your last chance to grab some 100% donation items, hunt for home decor treats and be inspired to re-decorate for spring!  There are so many wonderful product, I wish I had more time to share.  Last night, we learned that Relay for Life of Second Life raised over $15,354 or a little under $4 million Lindens ($3,838,469L), so let’s join together and push the grand total over the $4M mark, I know we can do it!

For my last post for The Expo, I wanted to showcase the lovely Spargel & Shines Homes (Hope 1) Bocas Belle Cottage and both of Tylar’s Treasures 100% donation items: Spring Chalkpaint Bench and Spring Gazing Ball.

Completing the scene is What Next Spring Garden gacha items from the current round of The Arcade and Doormat with Wellies (past FLF).

Also shown are Lunar Seasonal Designs Menu Driven Blooming Shamrocks in Basket, Finishing Touches pastel For the Birds Garden Set featuring repurposed fence & birdhouse armchairs (so cute) and The Mustard Seed Greenhouse/Cottage, Weeping Willow Tree, Hydrangea Planter and Wall Fountain, all available for 50% off at Perfect Ten (3/1-3/15).

I converted the inside of The Mustard Seed greenhouse into a relaxing hideaway with Circa Living Bon Vivant Cafe Set in Florals & Colour Frames (50% off at The Expo -Hope 7), and Jolie spring ottoman in aqua, yellow polka-dot area rug and chest cabinet with flower vase in delight serving as a buffet table for sweets, available at the main store (pic below).  Flanking the buffet table inside and over the planter boxes outside are Finishing Touches Wall Mount Half Bird Cage (50% off at Perfect 10).  All the flowers displayed in the greenhouse in pots, milk cans or watering cans are part of the new spring garden collection from Finishing Touches available at the main store (there are some very specials items, please stop by to check them out).  Finally, at the foot of the bistro table is TMS Curious Kitties with Bunny Baskets and Carrots…..just in time for Easter.  Hope you have a nice end to the weekend, stop by the SL Home & Garden Expo and take advantage of the great deals at Perfect Ten!

I’m late! I’m late! ….for a very important date!

Today, I feel like the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland clutching a giant pocket watch.  First, I hope you and your family had a nice Easter weekend, and for those of you that celebrate Passover, shalom.  I unfortunately had a nightmare weekend filled with unnecessary SL drama and RL family illness.  So, I texted EB and we are planning the bunny hop, egg roll and tea party next weekend in both worlds.  All are invited!  If you are in need of sweet treats, or adorable Easter Spring home decor, I have a few finds for you!

More Easter Egg hunt gifts

Limitless Easter Egg hunts taking place this weekend.  If you know of any you would like to share, please add them to the comment section.  I am a lover of hunts.  It is a great way to find new stores, score free gifts and have fun without spending money.  Today, Friday, March 29, 2013 kicks off Morea Style Easter Egg Hunt.  There are four egg baskets hidden around the first floor of the store, free for all!  Collect all four baskets to make the sexy teal keyhole sweater dress below (bottom left).  For group members, an extra basket has been hidden that contains the casual Jeanet sport set (bottom right).  While at Morea, don’t forget to pick up the March group gift, Fleur.  Fleur is a sexy black & white floral print gown perfect for spring & summer’s steamy nights.  Morea Style cost 100L to join the group.
