A Little Green Magic!

What is a girl to do with herself when that vacation feeling hits... Some people like to travel, others like to do crafts, I personally love to get lost in a good book more than usual, but there are others that LOVE to garden... I'm never going to be a good gardener, I've not got greenfingers or thumbs and even though it seems to be something all my family are good at, I'm not even able to keep a cactus alive... 
I'll stick to gardening in Second Life, it seems a little easier and if my fingers and thumbs don't work then there is penty of magic to aid my desire to grow... 

I will say though that even in Second Life I have problems when I'm growing things... HellBone is in charge of our beautiful garden and although I pretend the vegetable plot is mine, we all know he's the one in charge of it. When I attempt to grow things, using a little magical touch to get things to sprout, there is always an issue or two.. Carnivorous plants, bulbous plants, plants that inspire magic and even the Honey Bees are a little bit Bunny-like - but they are such a gorgeous cute little pair from YOKAI at Collabor88 - can be found in the Greenhouse - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis...

Questing Souvenirs

The picture that I came up with in my mind today seemed to come from nowhere but somewhere buried deep in the hidden recesses of my mind... It was based around the thoughts of when you get a reward after setting a goal and completing it, which is something that I have been trying to do more of this year. 
I think in the back of my brain, I associated it with some kind of fantasy quest that a knight might have been sent on by a king with a problem... Maybe an ogre problem, maybe a witch problem... Ooooh Maybe a Dragon Problem... 

I've loved films and books and even the odd game like this, I remember having a bit of a addiction to the original Baldur's Gate games when they first came out... I have always loved knights and dragons and the medieval aesthetic. 
I keep having this weird almost Dad joke running through my mind as I was setting up my epic blogpost today. I kept thinking "If you have enjoyed your dragon slaying quest today, please don't forget to stop at the souvenir kiosk on your way over the drawbridge"... I chuckle but the She Merc - an outfit from Pucca Firecaster Creations at the Engine Room - in me, did make a pitstop at the kiosk, loading my Alchemist Pack - from Static, also at Engine Room - with books and dragon plushies but did I REALLY need that special looking Eyes of Eldritch Grimoire - from Aardvark at the Wizarding Faire - it's a must for every wizard but that would mean taking up a totally new profession?!
