Garden in the Rain

“‘Twas just a garden in the rain
Close to a little leafy lane
A touch of color – ‘neath skies of gray

The raindrops kissed the flower beds
The blossoms raised their thirsty heads
A perfumed thank you they seemed to say

Surely here I was charmed beyond compare – to view
Maybe it was just that I was there – with you

‘Twas just a garden in the rain
But then the sun came out again
And sent us happily on our way”

I do not know how you like old movies and music, but i got this old song stuck in my head while i was wandering through the a Dark Fairies Dream Sim. Among all those beautiful flowers, ponds and trees the rain was falling on me. I love rain in all lives, walking in it, dancing in it, feeling the cool drops on my skin, soaking through my clothes. So I just had to make pictures.

It was a perfect opportunity to show off some of the things I’ve got lately on hunts and shopping tours. And because i could not decide which photo to take, I’ll show more

And i really love this jewelry set from Phoenix Rising I got on their closing sale. It won’t be there any longer after this month, so do yourself a favour and run there. All the clothing, Gowns, Jewelry, Lingerie.. for only 100L$. That’s a steal. Oh and not to forget that you really should do the Iconically Sexy Shopping District 2010 Summer Hunt on the ICON sims for awesome gifts of some very generous designers.

A little close up of the jewelry so you can see some of the lovely details.

Gatcha Bubblegum Skater

So, yesterday I was – like half of the grid I assume – at the Gatcha Festival. I thought I’d stay a couple of minutes, take a short peek and then hide again on my land. Well.. thought is the magic word.

Actually when I teleported in and saw that my good friend SySy was just tping in as well, i knew that the idea was doomed, and I was right. I think we have been close to two hours and spent tons of money for stuff we found cute and wanted and was silly enough to get and had TONS of fun.

I can honestly say that I never had so much fun while being surrounded by so many people. I got so much stuff I will show you, but not all at once, a little bit of what I got you will see in today’s post

I cannot explain why, but i had the urge to go pink – I never do that, I do not like pink personally but I wanted this time – must be a phase. So I grabbed my skateboard i got from one of the Gatcha Machines and turned into a Pink Bubblegum Skater

First I had some problems to stay on the board and almost fell…

But not long after I was surprised that i could do tricks – wohooo!

And just because this is another great make-up I’ll show you a closeup of this lovely face, glad i did not get hurt while skating or it might show some bruises now.
