Hope Floats
So the other day I mentioned how I was blown away by some of the animations in the items that are available at the Home & Garden Expo and having way too much fun with them… well, “Hope Floats” (how cool is that name for a Relay for Life item?!!) is the name of this little raft by PRIME that is being given away at the Home & Garden Expo Hunt and it has some of the most adorable animations!
We have since moved the raft out of the mermaid lagoon and over to the beach after clicking the “shark” animation! A giant shark circles the raft and the avatar in the pose is frightened. It is hysterical….. go get one! I promise you wont be disappointed and you can’t beat the price with a stick!

My wish…. Be my mirror, my sword and shield…..
Your Tunage: Coldplay – Viva La Vida
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry chiors are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
(Lyrics by Coldplay – Viva la Vida)
A Drift in the Dark
I have been having way more fun than is probably normal with all the animations in the items I have acquired from the Home & Garden Expo! The creations are jam-packed with top quality animations and the couple poses are so realistic and soooo precious! This driftwood swing by Wet Cat Builds & Poses now lives at the end of our dune covered beach. One seagull is perched on the swing and a second flies around the edge. There are both couple and single poses and the swing has a nice rocking motion that is as silky smooth as the sand between my toes! I am a smitten kitten!
And for the ladies who are wondering what swimsuit I am wearing, here is an image of the two piece. I love the unique design and dare I say….. the elf like styling * smirk * Proving you don’t always have to let your jugs hang out to look super smexy! LOL

Presenting the Duke and Duchess of Ippos
The guest list was filled with names of fae friends far and near who gathered to celebrate the joining of two life long friends and lovers, Duchess and Gopu.
The clans of Victoriana, Dalish, Merkitsa and Teleri were well represented and the dark and light settled merrily on neutral ground. Fairies fluttered and goblins gobbled. The event was held on the sacred grounds of Ippos at the Cherry Blossom Place provided by the creative designers of Two Moon Gardens.
Duchess wore a stunning gown by designer Caverna Obscura and precious roses arranged by Wishbox. As night fell the festivities were a typical all out elven party!
The princess of Elephante lent her posing wand and the event went off with a hitch!

Spring Symphony
Gopu and I took a break from our current design project to check out the Home & Garden Expo since we are in the process of renovating the entire Ippos sim. The event raises money for a charity that is near and dear to the hearts of many in Second Life, Relay for Life. Over 100 extremely talented creators have graced 8 sims with their fabulous items! The Breedables Fair is on 2 sims and there is one sim set aside for entertainment. Whew! Nothing like a RFL expo to get your avie’s legs in shape!
This piano by ionic was just the item we were looking for to fill this little nook. The poses are adorable and the color and distressed look fits in great amid the wild flowers. The lanterns emit a soft glow and are just beautiful – I have a feeling I will be stringing them up all over the place {grins} I plan to try out a breedable…. so stay soon and see what I decide to raise.

Dupu’s Isle of Dreams
We’ve been spending the last week revamping our sim and moving in to our new home, the Chateau La Lutiniere. I absolutely adore our new abode! The lavish textures and attention to detail really sets this build apart from all the countless builds I’ve encountered. I knew before I hit the top step… it was THE one! I couldn’t be happier. Chateau La Lutiniere is the creation of builders BlueSean Yiyan and Silex Zapedzki who have brought magnificent high quality haunted houses to the grid…. and now this fabulous French castle that is every princess’s dream! Our sim is no where near completion but I wanted to take a few portrait shots to line our halls…. and I just love these outfits…. so I decided to plaster them up here for all to see. The dress is a real show shopper (literally I was stopped 4 times and asked where it was from when we ran into the Armory for a moment!) and the outfit Gopu is wearing is fit for any duke!
