Blocking the Door

  So, I know this picture is weird with the table blocking the door, but I really liked the way it looked so...whatever. :P
  Anyway, I really love these hunt items from The Artist Shed.  I really could say that about any item they release though so not surprising. Not sure what to say other than much pretty, go get.
  The cross thing is meant to be carried but it looks weird on my avatar so I wanted to use it for something else. It can be found in this really cool hunt on the Hakoniwa sim called The Dark Forest hunt. Grab the hunt and search the sim for lots of gifts. The sim is so cool and the hunt is pretty fun so even if you aren't interested in the gifts you should check it out anyway.

OK, check out the slurls to go get these goodies!

The Geeks Were Right

  Hi all! I decided that I wanted a bit more challenge than usual so I came up with a plan. For my next few posts I am putting my Spotify playlist on random and whatever song plays is the song I will use as inspiration for a blog post. I am NOT going to necessarily use the imagery or literal lyrics from the songs. 
  For this post I ended up with the song "The Geeks Were Right" by The Faint. I just decided to do something science-y and sort of future-y but still with a simple, classic, Halloween look. Most of the items are free/cheap too so even better. Take a peek!

P.S.- I know I sometimes give not the best details on thing. Sometimes I might not say an item name, or get a slurl perfect, or be able to tell if something older is still available. Before I took my long break I was blogging a lot and was very stressed. A game I love dearly had been turned into a chore. I don't want that again. I want to have fun and take my pics and share with the like two people who read my posts. I don't want to go back to the days where I was reduced to tears and was aggravating my medical issues. So, yeah, my stuff isn't always going to be perfect. If you see something you want to know more about send me a note card inworld (my name is Sileny Noel) or send me a message on Flickr and I will do my best to help you out! Ciao!

Batty FOTD

  FOTD=Face of the Day, not "Food of the Day" as one might think, should they know me. Though, I DO have some fantastic s'mores I made in the microwave right now, nom nom. Annnnyway...

  My glasses are a group gift from Leronso. The frames change color and you have the sunglasses lens option as well.  There are some cool gifts from the past there as well. Some unique skins so check it out.

The Artist Shed Appreciation

  Every time I see a new release from The Artist Shed I get excited.  All the items are well made, creative, and affordable.  This season has been so great because not only is the store releasing a lot of items, so many of them are free or cheap. Like...what the heck? How can a store be that generous? I know these things take a billion years to create and to constantly be giving them away (and at least one of her latest releases had proceeds going to charity as well) is a really nice thing to do.
  I wanted to show a little appreciation for all the hard work and generosity I see from The Artist Shed.  Here are some recent things I picked up.  I am not the greatest photographer when it comes to home items (or...anything really lol) but these items are so nice the photo is entirely unedited, aside from cropping. I think the photo turned out decent despite my lack of skill!
  So, yeah, thanks to The Artist Shed for making my SL a little better every month.  Stores that bring originality and creativity to SL is what has kept me coming back for over 12 years!
  Go HERE to get to The Artists Shed. On the wall by the entrance you will find hints and LMs to all the hunts and sales I listed. Enjoy!

Again, go HERE for The Artists Shed. Also go HERE for the store Flickr.
Items: 
Topiary: The Boo Bunny Hunt item, 1L
Lamp: House on Haunted Hill Hunt item, 1L
Shelf: Past hunt item, not sure if/when it will be available for sale
Jar: Cart Sale gift, 0L

Artwork:Cart Sale item, 10L
-------
The Bench is not from The Artist Shed, it is from Love Everlasting for the Lone Oak Harbor hunt. It's a nice bench and I am happy with it as it only cost 1L. I want to take a second though and complain about the hunt itself.  Slurls used on all the hunt websites are outdated. The Flickr account doesn't have every hunt item shown, for one, but most importantly there is no slurl to the sim on any of the official pictures. The sim is massive and semi-laggy and the items are not only hidden but spread out really far between.  The hunt object is very difficult to find not just because it is hidden like all hunt items, not just because it is a neutral color that blends into many of the items on the sim, not just because some of the locations are really stupid hard, but my biggest problem is that it doesn't rez unless you're really close to it. So you can't just wander around and look, you have to zoom cose to everything.  Argh. It took my like a half hour to find two items that I wanted.  Two. I found some other chests (the hunt object) but they weren't items I wanted, and frankly I didn't even find many of those.  I never complain about this stuff, ever. I generally only post positive things. But ffs this was too much not to complain about Bleh.  Sorry to end my happy post on a negative note, I just needed to rant about that. :P
-------
  One more thing: I want to make it clear that this post was not sponsored in any way by The Artist Shed.  I just genuinely appreciate the store and wanted to showcase it. I want to do this more in the future and I think this store is an excellent place to start.  Visit them today!

Feeling Green

  So how excited am I about Halloween coming up? The answer is Very.  I am very excited. October is the absolute best time in SL for me. The events! The gifts!  The shopping!  The spookily decorated sims! Even looking through Flickr at what all the people I am following post is a spooky SL fashion lover's dream. I cannot wait!
  The stuff I am wearing today is a mix of very old and very new. Yes, I know I have been doing a lot of old and some unavailable items lately, but I can't help it. Bakes on Mesh coming out has made me incredibly nostalgic. I keep digging out my old favorites and swooning over them. It has actually encouraged me to start creating again so watch out soon for lots of gifties coming your way, made by yours truly!
  I know the picture is really dark and blurry but...I just wanted to be a creepy green lady, sneaky through your house to get ya. Yes. I'm gonna get ya. Grrr! XD  OK, have fun!
