Battered and flattered

Battered...?

No, not so much me in RL any more - I'm feeling less battered by the day. So much so I found myself taking vain, vain photos of myself in SL last night (see at the end) rather than getting on with some building. Bad me.

THIS battered.

It's one of the things I made on a whim, and liked (despite endless fiddling with offsets). 

Whims are good.

Prims? 4. Price? 1L.  To be found, of course, at Vent du Sud at the front of the mainstore.

Flattered?

Oh yeah. 

See, Terry (Wumpole) and Mike (Stonesoul) offered me a booth at their home accessories exhibition, which was, I think, the decisive kick in the thing I can't say on a family-safe blog that I needed to get me moving again.

(Terry and Mike are lovely and I'm delighted to know them. And not just because they seem to have acquired a taste for provencal builds and decor). 

So I put the table there, along with a few other things, all at 1L.

Like the 1 prim bench (which is normally part of the greenhouse set but I should sell it separately, maybe, and in other colours?).

Yes. (Adds to to-do list).

More on the greenhouse set on the Marketplace.

It has anims. Couples and singles.  Look.

Please do go and have a look around at the expo - it's something they're doing for the sheer love of decorating. It's fun, it's not huge, but there are some great things to be found.

The vain bit? Here you go.

Tuli Audrey skin, with a lipstain from MOCK that I adore. And a lovely messy hairdo from Damselfly.
 
So vain. But probably better than a shopping spree which I would love but then I'll never get any building done.

Off to work and to cross fingers and toes I get some building time in later.

The ideas, they are a-coming.

People in glass houses. Surprisingly non-ranty post. Freebie.

Greenhouse, 3 prims, 1L, plus lots of accessories at 1L

I had fun making this (sure I bought the sculpt but I had fun texturing it and doing the doodads that go with it! And hey, 3 prims! Bench 1 prim! Potting benches and stool 1 prim! I think the WHOLE LOT = 17.

(See, I want a RL greenhouse. Mr RL rolls his eyes and reminds me of my working hours and the amount of stuff to do already in the garden).

Rather boringly, by the way, it is called the Vent du Sud greenhouse (I did consider calling it "Tilting at greenhouses" but that could have been a little obscure, but thanks, Ossian). Here is a direct TP to it.

Click on the plants to change what's in them (1L each). And lo! A riddle!

And lo! A bench! With a nice conversation pose and singles poses (up to 3 people may dally here and discuss the difference between pumpkins and squash, lighthouses and windmills, etc. etc.)

Bench, 1L, couples and singles poses (seats up to 3)

And lo! A watering can and trowel and some basil (or rosemary or parsley should you wish to click).

Watering can, trowel, pot with herbs (different ones), 1L

And lo! Whole little corner of gardening happiness. 

Pardon me while I speak to Mr RL about some potting benches, would you?

The whole bench, 1L, 1 prim. With sits on the stool! (Plants etc. not included)

Oh, and lo! pssst... I made this little sign (YAY GRAPHICS SKILLZZZZ) that says (in French, how chic) "my very  own garden". Yours for free by the greenhouse until I remember to put it back to 1L.
