Mushroom Harvest Starts, The Celebration Begins!

My working week is finaly done and it's the weekend, so I'm going to let my hair down and have alovely, relaxing party - Pyjama's and Relaxing Time YAY! - there hasn't been much time for that this week and I truly need a rest at the moment. I don't know why, I'm exhausted... It must be the time of year as the season is beginning to change... 
I get home and I'm about to head inside and relax when the fairy senses inside me started tingling... There was something going on in the fairy grove and I had to go check... 

When I got to the fairy glade, having morphed from standard boring human to something a little more magical, I stumbled upon a different kind of party. Not the relaxing pyjama party I'd been hoping for, but a Mushroom Buddies - a new release from Pitaya for The Fifty - have been picking Orchand mushrooms to get ready for the Autumn feasts and hibernation preparation... Now I KNOW I wasn't keen on the idea of having to do anything more than relax BUT I can't turn down this kinda party, they have tea and CAKE!!!

Chocolate & Cookies

I've been having a very lazy day today, the last few days at work were bonkers due to a Spanish National Holiday which saw a lot more Spanish tourists in Amsterdam and therefore the shop was insanely busy... Don't ask me why it got so busy, I don't think all of the shops in our brand were that busy but we were crazy... 
Today I wanted something calming to do and that meant I was going to start my Christmas decorating... 

After the weekend I'd had so far, this couldn't be a RL think since I was aching all over, but my SL space is different... I started in the kitchen and planned the perfect happy place...
I LOVE having a place to make something delicious, and Hot Chocolate feels like the perfect Winter treat. While shopping in the sales this weekend, I got my hands on a new Slowcooker - from Movement as part of the Licor Chocolate Set - and decided to set up my own Hot Chocolate Stand - thanks to a set from Junk Food at Santa Inc until January 2nd - in my kitchen... 
Adding a handful of cookies and cakes, with a handful of decorations for Christmas cheer and I'm a happy girl...

The Mourning Moth and her Pets

I felt like it was time for a little dark magic... Halloween is getting closer and closer, and so far the magic has barely been grey let alone dark... I think the Halloween spirits are beginning to get a little twitchy... 
There are spirits stirring in the deepest parts of the darkest forest... Monsters are getting restless and beginning to crawl out of the darkness... 

In the forest it feels like you are being Watched - a backdrop from The Bearded Guy - yet it is not the eyes you need to watch out for. The dark Mourning Moth - a release from Faunus that is still available until October 24th at Kawaii Secrets - is lurking, her dark magic having lured the Arachnid Belle - a gorgeous outfit created by the amazing Eliavah in a brilliant collaboration with everfaery for this month's Kustom9 - to create her a magical outfit made with dark magic in mind... 
She and her wonderful pets, the pack of Paimon - a pose prop included with the pose set from Fashiowl - and the large black Forest Spirit - from Tardfish - are preparing their arrival... It is time for more black magic...

Time for Mitzy Ditsy

Over the Hills and far away, Teletubbies come to play... I know I've been playing dress up in some adorable things that remind me of my childhood, and I have to say that the I was a little bit too old to love the teletubbies, they were always something I thought was pretty cute.. Lala and Dipsy, were definitely the bestest... 
Today for my 31 days of Halloween - although I'm missing more than a few days now - is less scary, more cute fancy dress... Today we're going to Teletubby land... 

I think that Teletubby land looks like the kind of place that I want to get myself lost in, it's so pretty full of flowers and bunnies and I LOVE the colours and fun. Not so sure about the creepy baby in the sun, but I guess that makes things a little more Halloweeny... Though I couldn't help being the coolest of the tubbies, Dipsy, though a little more Ditsy in this case due to the costume from Rosary being named as such... I'm going to be dancing around like Mitzy Ditsy - thanks to a pose from Secret Poses...

Pumpkin Carving on a Sugar High

Halloween is coming and it's getting closer and closer, there is no stopping the snowball effect of th arrival of the Spooky Season... I LOVE this time of year, it's been fun to decorate, it's been fun to get into costumes and I have 22 more days of Halloween looks still to come...
Today I've decided to prep some of the decorations for my home, I wanted to start carving pumpkins to make my house feel more festive... Carving pumpkins can be a little messy, and since it's Halloween I get messy with candy too, but since it's so much fun, when the big people leave the room, the little spirits come out to play... 

Once the big people have gone, and the spirits come out to play in the pumpkins... The adorable little Cute Spooky pumpkin ghost - from YOKAI - was dancing around his favourite veggies, while the Little Crows - also from YOKAI but available at Satan Inc until November 1st - get silly and search for their own fab little Halloween costumes... If you look closely, you will also spot a cheeky little Pumpkin Fae fluttering through the pumpkins, laughing at the carved faces and indulging on the sweet treats, like the Pumpkin Candy Latte - from Junk Food - and the delicious donuts that were left by the Big People. She got such a fit of the giggles, the sugar instantly making her high, and she couldn't help but  sprinkle some of her fairy dust to go for a little "Pumpkin Ride" - an awesome vehicle from Ananas, available until October 22nd at Salem.

The Engine Room is just the start of the Adventure!

You may know that I have a guilty pleasure in watching all different kinds of ghost hunting shows, but when I'm watching TV with my other half it can be hard to find something that we both want to see...  Dr Pimple Popper is an addiction, and we're excited about various new series, BUT we both love to watch the show Expedition Unknown with Josh Gates... All the adventures he goes on, and the archaeological aspects excite me, I've always wanted to go on a big adventure, I'd love to see some of the things that he gets to see... I'm going to let the Engine Room be the start of the journey...

I'm going to plan my journey in the warm luxury of the Clock Station - a backdrop from Synnergy - Lounge where the furniture is made from a gorgeously comfortable Barrel Set - available from Krescendo at ALPHA - and I dressed for the part, a Steampunk styled version of Indiana Jones... Ready to set off on a Steampunk Adventure - in my Art&Ko dress, with my Ministry floppy hat - people tried to warn me that it wouldn't be safe. That handling the Crystal Visions Orb - a pose prop in the full body pose set by piXit - was dangerous, but they didn't realise I'd be wearing my Barclay Hands - from Wicca's Originals - luckily the steampunk prosthetic helps me to grip the orb without threat of it's mystical powers...

Waking the Mushroom Fae!

It's so freaking hot today, another bloody heatwave and I'm desperate to get out of the heat. My office is under a flat roof, and there's no avoiding the heat upstairs, so I'm hiding down in a cave of my living room with everything closed. 
I'm craving Autumn, I want the cool crisp air, the feeling of leaves falling and that beautiful frost that settles over the ground I want the cold air, and the fact that I need to wrap up warm and snuggly... 
I've heard that things are changing, the fairy folk are preparing for their winter sleep whilst others are starting to wake... It's almost the time of the Autumn Fae... 

In the deepest, darkest parts of the forest, by the dark pond - a backdrop from Synnergy - there is a perfect environment for the hiding place for the Mushroom Fae. These pretty little dark fae need dark damp places just like their moisture loving fungal friends... These pretty little Autumn Fae decorate themselves with their favourite mushrooms, some are into the red with spots, others like the frills that grow on trees and the Rudhie version who loves the cute little brown button cups... She loves them so much they adorn her body - thanks to the amazing new release from Quills & Curiosities at the soon to open round of Enchantment - you'll have to excuse her mess though, she's just waking up from her Summer Slumber...

Gotta love a picnic, gotta love teddybears, and for some reason today my jammies seemed like the perfect disguise to sneak down to the woods today, and search for the big surprise... 

As the bears gathered under the flowering trees, in amongst the daisies, I snuck into the clearing and became one of the group. My Fuzzy Wuzzy Pj Set - from STOIC - were apparently he perfect disguise, I think it was a perfect added touch was attaching my teddybear around my leg - a MOMOCHUU "Jana Bear Garter" - like my baby...

A Little Peace On Earth

This time of year is all about Peace on Earth, and I feel like this year more than any for me that's a big thing I should be focussing on right now... Maybe not on Earth, that's a big ask in my mental state right now, BUT maybe it's time to think of a little Peace for Me! I'm in a war with my own emotions, missing my family, and I'm kinda wishing I could fast-forward to next year to see them... 
Time to spread a little Peace in my own Earth...

Chocolate & Strawberries; The Perfect Medicine

I'm down with a cold, getting worse and still feeling like all I want to do is sleep. When I'm not asleep, I'm hobbling downstairs wrapped up in a blanket to make myself a cup of something hot and wet to drink... Most of the time I'm drinking tea, but sometimes I find myself reaching for a cup of hot chocolate and as an extra treat some little marshmallows... 

Sometimes I really feel like there's nothing I'd want more than a bath, but as we don't have a bath it was  suddenly so appealling to think of using my mug of hot chocolate as a hot tub... I've dreamt about bathing in a hot tub of hot chocolate before - thanks to the Violetility Hot Cocoa Hot Tub - but honestly I think tea might be better... Maybe though, the chocolate is making me feel better...
Maybe I should have more chocolate... I have some strawberries and other fruits in the fridge, and perhaps if I was able to cover them in chocolate - like the gorgeous plate of them I have them floating with me in the hot tub from Junk Food, available until September 22nd at Kinky - it would be like vitamins and medicine all at once...

Mushroom Tea

It's been my last day off for the rest of the week, I won't have a day to just rest and relax without work getting in the way so while I'm relaxing I'm going to let my mind slip into a fantasy world... 
While I was digging around in my inventory and my mind ended up going somewhere almost Wonderlandy, with a hint of a trip to the Caterpillar's home... 

Somewhere in the Caterpillar's Garden you might spot someone he is friends with wandering around and setting up her own little tea party... The Hatter and the Hare aren't the only ones that love a cup of tea in Wonderland after all...

Tiny Little Mushroom Fairy

So yesterday when the evil looking Sprite disappeared from the doorway into the fairy kingdom I did something bad... I stepped through the door into a world of Chronicles and Legends to find a little magic... 
The world is enchanting, and I'm sure there will be many more trips through the door...
The first being that I encountered happened to be an adorable little fairy with more than a tiny love for mushrooms. The pretty red and white kind, that always make me smile, and she invited me to take a seat and have some tea... 

Her little glade is filled with the gorgeous Red and White Mushrooms - ranging from the giant crystal adorned ones from Granola at Equal10, to the Fancy ones that match the amazing Mushroom Throne from Boudoir - I've never seen so many in one place. She even has the most adorable little Mushroom Head - from Ananas - as a hat!!! While her Seelie Gossamer Wings - amazing wings by the brilliant Celeste - fluttered as the sparkles in the air drifted through the flowers... 
While I'm talking about the wings I have a confession... These beautiful wings are the Seelie Bento Wings from Celeste that are now available at Chronicles and Legends Event - where a LOT of the items in this post came from I should add - BUT I used the hud that comes with them to colour them slightly to fit with my colour scheme...

No More Wizarding School

Wizarding Faire... It was one of those do I want to or do I not kinda moments... I've said it before and I'll say it again, I AM NOT A HARRY POTTER FAN! I did take a sneaky peek and found a few things that are wizardy but not Harry Potter, and then I thought of my RL little sister and well, she's potter mad, so this one is for her... 

This was taken after my years at Hogwarts were over... I tried to shy away from the Hogwarts house colours and ended up with purple... I went a little crazy in decorating my attic room - a skybox from PITAYA - with some very gorgeous and Oracle designed furnishings - available from Oubliette at the new round of Gacha Garden until August 31st - and then I stuffed the room full of some perfect Wizarding goodies, including potions from Disorderly, some precarious plants from random.Matter and some other Wizard Life goodies to remind me of my days at Hogwarts - from Wednesday, and Raindale.

Finding the Magic in Fairy Shoes!

The magic seems to be fading, and the Midsummer Enchantment is drifting to a slow close - not that I'm unhappy about it, it just means we're one step closer to Halloween lol - but as the magic of the summer begins to fade we have to start looking elsewhere for our magic... 

While walking around, exploring a little, Rudh came across one of the most magical things... A Fairy Circle... You could see the magic sparkling within, and it was just perfect timing... Magic is something that she needs right now... 

She stepped into the Magical Fairy Circle - a creation by Raindale at this year's Midsummer Enchantment, which actually I should tell you closes it's doors tomorrow so DON'T MISS OUT!! - and sat down on a large wooden stump, kicking off my gorgeous, but not so walking through the woods friendly, Lyndis Booties - from Wicca's Originals - to rest my poor feet... 

It happened a few moments later, I fell into a sleep surrounded by the scent of cotton candy and when I woke after what seemed like an eternity - but could really have just been moments - a pair of the prettiest, daintiest fairy shoes... Like something from a fairytale, princess shoes that are made for dancing - the Viki "Tremane" Shoes, I should add hehe...

One more thing I want to add, aside from the story I'm sharing is a little close-up... You can see hints at my rings but you really need to see these gorgeous Velika Rituals "Eternal Mist" Rings, not to forget my Dark Passions "Lunar Tear" Nails too!!! Hence, a close-up was needed...

When Practicing Magic Goes Awry...

While in isolation, Rudh has been taking the time to improve herself, learn a few new skills and dust off some of her old ones... There's no time for things like that normally, so when you get the chance you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth right?! 
Today it was time to make a little magic, I set myself up a new little cosy, safe space where I wouldn't be disturbed, and then I set to work... It's lucky I was on my own... It wasn't going well... 

I whipped the magic up, and got the room looking perfect, then an oopsie happened! 
The cards that I'd set out for a reading started levitating and swirling around the room, causing chaos before I could even start. It was a little DISORDERLY! 
On a side note isn't my safe place pretty... It's mostly kitted out with some awesome Witchy Hangout items in the Oubliette Gacha - available until the end of the month at Gachaland - and some amazing goodies from Ostara's Altar!

Carving Pumpkins with Magic

So I've selected my pumpkins, and now it's time to take them home to start carving them... I LOVE carving pumpkins, I get all silly as I pull the pumpkin flesh out from the pumpkin and end up making zombie noises as I'm playing with the innards... 
I'm going to hide away in my dark little witch cottage, and while I'm casting a few spells, I'm going to cast a little magic and carve myself a new friend! 

I went to town on decorating my dark little witches cottage... the table was strewn with all different kinds of fun stuff including a cup of coffee laced with poison! I had been out doing some shopping a little Trick or Treating at the Trick or Treat Lane for some things like Candle & Cauldron, Paper Moon and Raindale, with just a hint of other awesome events that are running on the grid at the moment. I admit that I both LOVE and hate this time of year, love it because there's lots of awesome stuff to get my hands on and hate it because I'm broke all month LOL...

Happy Halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! 
My favourite day of the year is here, and I'm happy as a kid in a candy store - not that Trick or Treating happens here but YAY it's finally Halloween!
Today is a day for horror, spooks and... Candy?! So before the horrible stuff begins, I'm going to go for a little walk to collect some of the sweet stuff... 

I often feel bad that Halloween is less of a big deal in Europe than it is in America, we don't get to do all the Trick or Treating stuff, BUT luckily for me Rudh can enjoy it for me in Second Life!
Dressed like a Vampiress - thanks to a dress from RIOT and all her dark and devious batty accessories - she ended up needing a shopping cart for all of the Junk Food she was able to collect. 
While she was out on Trick or Treat Lane though she had to stop and take in some of the pretty décor, A cute little lamp over the door of this house for example, it's a Witch Lamp available from Candle & Cauldron, or the BOO lights in the window - from Raindale - and even the adorable door mat - a PentaMoon Rug from Squishy Fluff - all of which can be grabbed on Trick or Treat Lane until November 2nd!!
