Swingingly, swimmingly: swings that swing

There are times when I wish I had a nine to five job with things like weekends and vacations. But my work swings wildly from ridiculously busy to just busy.

However, I am sort of catching up and finishing things, so expect a whole lot of new items arriving at Vent du Sud over the next few days.

Well, unless more excrement hits the ventilator.

But let's get to the swing.  Which is finished.


1L and mod / copy. Colour change canapy and cushions, me or us poses, couples poses.

Prims, you ask?

Six.

And it swings. Very gently. Very soothingly.

Mmm. 

Ah. Forgot to take the other photo with different colours. Bad blogger.

Can you imagine a sort of soft pale aubergine please? Good. And white linen with grey stripes?

Thank you. Or you could, of course, go look. And click. And swing.

Here's the soft blue and green stripes. So you get the idea. Four pretty summer colours. Others on request.

So off you go. Swing. 1L. Here at Vent du Sud. Go get it.

Read the notecard too, please because since the swing actually swings (because they should, no?) the seat part is separate from the frame part (insert unintelligible stuff about hierarchised prims here). And the explanation about rezzing two parts in the notecard is far more coherent than this blog post, I promise.

Back to building and I am having such a good time throwing prims around again.

Two birds one stone, freebie, Tabs, neon carrots and pink

Think serendipity. Think two of my unfavourite colours in a combination I like.

Think free (scroll on for a Vent du Sud freebie also...)

And think Icing, and the various fabulous freebies you can find there, including this dress (and some really superb other things). Go look. It moves beautifully too.


And the freebie? Getting there.

Please help yourself to this deckchair at the Vent du Sud dock.

And no, no direct tp but take this one... which takes you around here...

... then go through the arch (purchasing many many things as you go, of course, including the 50 patio store itself, or the decor for 1L a piece... or the summer cabins, or the hammocks...


...And you will find the peaceful Vent du Sud dock, including a pedal boat ride and dancing and swimming*...

and this.

(and that is Tabs, one of SL's incurable romantics, who lives at Vent du Sud and promotes it - and is happily partnered so you can't have him... but he's great fun to talk to)

But you CAN have the deckchair he is sitting on, for free.  Or splash out on the Cap'n and Mate ones for 1L each.  Copy. Three poses. Custom personalised textures if you ask nicely and pay me the upload fee for the texture...!

Last look at this gorgeous dress?

There you go. Hair by Damselfly (Klavdiya) and Yay wedges from HOC.

And scenery from Vent du Sud (another quiet beach where you can feel free to dance thanks to our well-stocked Intan. Feel free to wander around and find it.

*sit on the little wedge and dive in, or click on it for LOTS of dives. It's wonderful! And having dived in, you can then swim around Vent du Sud and buy MORE!

Weathered newness, olive (52 weeks of colour), dead routers, and Ayla.

I guess weathered feels a bit like me right now. Seen a little stormy weather and a bit worn around the edges but with a certain quaint charm? More on the 50-L Vent du Sud weathered tree platform below.

(And no, no, don't flock to the comments to tell me that I am as young and beautiful as I feel, because that would be around 90 and ugly. Think overwork. Think endless deadlines. But anyway, Vent du Sud (and me) aren't quite dead yet).

Close, though.

And speaking of dead, my router / ADSL box died yesterday, meaning 3 hours on the phone followed by a 3-hour trip to pick up a replacement. No, kind person, posting it to me for 'around Tuesday' when I work on the net...

No.

Olive? Tree platform? Hold on, we're getting there.  This could be an olive tree, if you stretch your imagination a bit. Although never seen one that high...

Here we go. One amazingly low-prim weathered tree platform (16) to dance on, to watch the stars and waves, or to toss a couple of cushions or a patio set on (go look at the Vent du Sud mainstore for those, all at 1L?) and watch the sun set. Haul up the ladders, and relax. Direct tp right here or take a stroll around the island (and look out for a big tree not far from the tree house...

And on to olive. *Cough* yes this is a terrible photo but the others were worse.

And not really enough credit for Ayla's really, really cute Kirsty top in olive so I stole a better one from her blog. She makes other really, really affordable and fun stuff too at great prices. Check out her blog here and her store here.

Back soon when I have wrangled with another couple of deadlines, but there has to be light at the end of the tunnel soon... or will it just be another train coming?
