When the dogs bark, when the bees sting...

... or was it when the dogs bite?

Never mind. Just imagine me in Julie Andrews mode. Or something.  Raindrops and roses, etc. etc.

But these are a few of my favourite things, or at least in the 'small and pretty' category of what I make.

Those little touches that I love to add to builds, all three. It makes a place look like home.  

The bathtub planter has click-to change plants, and the fire pillar and basket turn on and off. They're usually a pretty reasonable 100L (OK 99L) each. But I've popped them a copiable version of them in a single WHITE box right beside the subscribo at Vent du Sud for just 100L for a couple of days (and also at my display space at Blueberry, here).

But wouldn't they also make nice gifts? (Yes. Really. They would).

So there is also a RED box containing a transfer version. Same price but you can either send the entire pack to a friend or send them separately.

And as I'm still swamped with RL work, here's a favourite outfit for hot sticky days like today to cheer myself up (in RL, shorts and a tee and hair doing frizzy mess rather than elegantly messy):

This was a group gift from MNK, but it's still there in lots of other summer colours. And the bows are just cuteness. Wish I could go hole up under my own olive tree in RL but back to work, so I'll just loiter under the one at Vent du Sud!

Fashion blunder... so have a milk churn

So, I crawled out of bed at 7 on Saturday to take pictures for a blog post I want to do on wedding dresses by the gang, with shots taken in my tower to, y'know, attempt to promote both.

Took the photos, and (fortunately) sent them to Alain Papp of AC creations (he of the sumptuous costumes, remember? - see the photo for just one masterpiece with matching outfits. Check 'em out at the link).

"Nice" he said. "But you do realise you have mixed up my two gowns?"

Ah. Oooooops. Fail.

Back to the drawing board again, then. I admit I was in a hurry. I also strongly suspect that SL had refused to keep up with me clicking 'take off' and 'wear' rather rapidly. See, I don't exactly wear wedding dresses regularly.

Anyway, as I said, have a milk churn. Transfer version FREE in the Vent du Sud subscribo. Click for 3 different flowers. Pretty. 4 prims.

Mod/copy version in the store along with other spring goodness such as the bench below (also click to change flowers).  12 prims only, mod/copy.





Enjoy. And click the subscribo anyway even if you're not a milk churn fan: get news of our releases, regular offers and plenty of gifts.

And did you grab the dollarbie daffodil poofer yet? Just drop in at Vent du Sud and help yourself - near the olive trees - click on the rock and it's yours.

Will spring ever happen?

Yesterday, we had sunshine. Today... pouring rain again plus thunder (yay for lightning-proof socket-thing for the PC) and COLD. Not quite how you'd imagine spring in southern France.

Ugh.

But anyway, it's spring at Vent du Sud... or at least we're gearing up for all sorts of things including some great spring FASHION from Rett, Alan and Ashton &  Lane.

First off today, though, newness and as always a special offer as a kick-off: A whole bench of spring plants (and you can change each sort of flower by clicking - clever, huh?) So lots of combinations of tulips, crocuses, daffs. Including the watering can and the soil riddle. And being mod-copy, you can also help yourself to any of the plants or the watering can separately (the plants and watering can are all 2 prims each). Good deal!

Prims: 12
Mod/copy
Price: normally 195, today at just 100L.
Find it on the square.

Next up, a watering can with three sculpty tulips.  

Prims: 5

mod/copy

Normally 79L, today just 35.

And last but not least, see the rock amid the daffs? It'a poofer and a special dollarbie

Meaning a LOT of flowers for just ONE prim and 1L (and it turns on and off on touch). 

 
Find it near the big olive tree, and help yourself!
 
 
But before you go, hit the subscribo outside Vent du Sud? It's time for another gift in there and I should finish it in a day or two (as my RL garden is a sea of mud...).
 
Hope to see you soon in Vent du Sud!
