The Little Big Hunt starts today and in this hunt you will find little or big items.  I thought these items were perfect to show you the theme...a little hemp bikini by Sakide and a big flower hat by Half-Deer.  Both are super cute!

Fantasy Faire - Mindgardens Creations

It's so exciting...as of last night 4+ million lindens has been raised for the American Cancer Society.  If you haven't been...what are you waiting for!  Head on over and get your fantasy on so we can make this a record year! Check the Fantasy Faire Blog for complete information on event activities.

Mindgarden's Creations has three amazing Cloud 9 fantasy pods.  These have specific themes, special features, sounds and furnishings.  All 3 are enclosed in a 30x30x30 sphere.  These pods have too many options to list them all so covering the basics.  Of course my pics do not do them justice...they must be experienced inworld.

Arctic Temple Sphere - features a mountain with a hidden tunnel, beautiful winter trees, floating pods, multi-posed seating and majestic archways.  The outer shell of the sphere can be touched to enhance or dim the lighting of the pod. You can click the white orbs at the base of each pod for a boost up. There are also color change options for the starry skies.
FantasyFair3-Mindgardens Collage1

Orbital Space Sphere - gives you the feeling of outer space. Has soothing sounds that adds to the ambiance. Includes a dance pod and dance animation at the center as well.  The pool has a couples animation.  There is also a glass sphere for meditation.  Also can turn shooting star particles on and off.
FantasyFair3-Mindgardens Collage2

Blue World Sphere - features a relaxing and soothing environment.  Equipped with adjustable ambient sound scheme. This pod also features a floating rock with multiple poses, furnished floating pod in the sky and two moons.

Additional Mindgarden RFL items are:
- Pandorian Gazebo (pictured below/bottom left) - includes meditation pose in sphere above the gazebo
- Pandorian Arch - similar to arch on the gazebo but only the pink floral portion
- Pandorian Dance Cage - similar to the dance cage in the orbital space (pictured above/top right) except with a darker rock color.

Fantasy Fair - Fuubutsu Dou

Fantasy Faire is going strong!  I encourage you to go see the 8 themed sims and donate.  Chapter one of two Hunts begins today at noon slt.  You can find complete information at the Fantasy Faire blog for the hunt, entrainment schedule & funds raised so far.  This is looking to be the most successful year yet!

One of the shops I was assigned to is Fuubutsu-Dou. Being able to see the work of this designer has been great experience.  She's very talented as you see.  The kimono available in 4 colors and the petite cottage in 5 styles are the RFL vendor items.  Also, her auction item is the Petite's Fantasy Town that includes the 5 cottages with the addition of a bridge, wishing well, street lights and market stalls.  Amazing details!

In The Garden

My little basket has a notebook so perfect for Strawberry Singhs Monday Meme "Why Do You Blog?".  Visit the link above to see other responses to this meme.  Below are mine :)

WhatNext+Kanou Collage
  1. How long have you been blogging? Started January 2011....a little over 2 yrs.
  2. Why did you start blogging? I was talked into it by a former friend because I styled well and liked taking pics.  She persisted and I blogged for her for awhile before saying to myself I can do this and do what I like.
  3. How many times a week do you post an entry? 5-6 days a week
  4. How many different blogs do you read on a regular basis? A handful not too many.
  5. Do you comment on other people’s blogs? I've done this twice I think.  I'm a shy one so feel odd commenting.  But I think out loud a lot they just can't hear me.
  6. Do you keep track of how many visitors you have? Nope only if I'm applying to blog for an event and they ask for that information.
  7. Did you ever regret a post that you wrote? No...I'm not a strong writer so don't write often unless I'm excited about something.  So mostly feel goofy writing the same "great, wonderful, fantastic" etc.  One thing I guess I regret is not writing enough...many times I read and re-read my writings I end up deleting it all and just provide basic info.
  8. Do you think your readers have a true sense of who you are based on your blog? I have no idea...lol I know people tell me how much they like my blog and I'm grateful for the feedback.
  9. Do you blog under your real name? No
  10. Are there topics that you would never blog about? Yes.  I don't like to post contests/beauty contest type stuff.  I've had some send notice to post their event on my blog and I definitely will not do.  I'm sure there's more but this is what I've been asked to do more than anything else.
  11. What is the theme/topic of your blog? Fashion blog but since I'm no longer an active model I've been blogging my second love which is Home and Garden items too.
  12. Do you have more than one blog? If so, why? I started setting up on WordPress some time ago but ugh...sending notice to all the feeds to add the new one stop this one....just easier to stay on blogger. lol 
  13. What have you found to be the benefits of blogging?  I can express myself through the photos.  It keeps me out of trouble.  I can work at my own pace.
  14. So, why do you continue to blog? Well one reason I became a more active blogger is my rl job has slow periods and preparing a blog post helps the day go by faster.  I truly love to see what designers come up with next...and each time it's 'oh wow look at that'.  I'm fascinated by the whole process and putting my interpretation on what a designer has created.  There is also a story in most of my pics but not a writer so I entertain myself with them. lol

Simply Simple

I have to say how much fun I've been having lately with blogging...going from silly fun with Kawaii, fantasy fun with Fantasy Fair and just pure fashion.  Gotta love it!

Molichino has released their full Spring collection in the store. There are many wonderful mix and match pieces in a wide range of colors.  I've added this American Bazaar top that is available at the Kawaii Fair.
Molichino+Kawaii+Handverk+7DS

For accessories...HANDverk released 3 new items this week available at their NEW store that is now open. One of the items is this strand necklace which was a prior release in bright colors but they have now released in natural stones and colors that I absolutely love.

I love hats! Lode is one of my favorite hat shops.  Love the new direction the designer has been going lately with larger hats.  I love the shape and crisp white trim...amazing work.

Lastly...this great skin.  Meet Vanity by 7 Deadly Skins.  Really love the freckle option on these skins...they are not just on the face...they are on the whole body and very well done. I encourage you to visit the store to see the many options this designer offers.

Fantasy Faire 2013

Fantasy Faire begins in a few days!  I'm so excited this is a favorite event of mine and for a great cause...raising funds for the American Cancer Society/Relay for Life.  Fantasy Faire will run April 20-28 and will have many activities planned throughout the week...auctions, hunt & entertainment.

For my initial post I bring you Plastik's Vandariel Armor.  It comes in 19 colors/textures and include 2 huds...one to change gem texture and one to change the skirt texture. 

Also, the Plastik Ataciara skin I'm wearing is perfect with this set and used it not knowing it will be included in an auction item donated for the event. The auction item is a voucher for every skin Plastik has ever released, plus every skin release in the future.  Check Plastik's Flickr for complete information and links to see all the great skins.  I've bought several of her skins and they have amazing detail. Most include additional items like ears, eyes, tattoos...etc.  So this is a wonderful auction item.

More to come soon....

At Peace

Needed to relax a bit today so took the opportunity to blog my friends designs.  This is Blueberry's latest releases that has versatile separates like this super cute capri & top.  What better way to relax than outdoors on a great new bench by What Next...I love this pose that is included in the bench. More details below.

While relaxing...thought I would participate in Strawberry Singh's Monday Meme.  This week is about SL names.  It's kind of cool to read about how folks decided on their SL names.  Mine isn't that exciting but nice change of pace from my blogging responsibilities.  Also follow the link above to visit Strawberry's blog where you will find many other responses to her list of questions.

Blueberry+What Next
  1. What’s your SL name? Cindy Gedenspire 
  2. What made you choose this name? Well...Cindy is my RL first name...didn't know if I could get use to being called by another name. lol  Gedenspire was perfect because I came to SL to get inspired artistically...when it popped up I said perfect. :)
  3. What’s your SL nickname, or what do most people call you? (if applicable) n/a unless you count dork. lol
  4. What’s your SL display name? Why do you choose to have one? (if applicable) Display names are a pet peeve...I don't like them so will not use.  I also don't allow them to show on my viewer.
  5. Do you like your SL name? Yes I do :))
  6. If you could change your SL name, what would it be? Blossom Lemondrop. (psst...it's my alts name.) I saw someone with this last name and immediately thought of this name...had to have it so my first alt was born :))
  7. What’s the craziest/funniest SL name you’ve ever seen? ConvergentDynamicsReplicant
  8. What’s the coolest (your favorite) SL name you’ve ever seen? Smiles Oodles

I'm having so much fun!  Kawaii is new to me...at first I wondered if I could do this style but so glad I gave it a try...I'm having a blast looking through items & styling...really creative fun stuff! Can hardly wait to show you more.  The Kawaii Fair runs until April 26.

Also, today is the last day of the Pose Fair and thought this Elymode lunchbox and poses went perfect with this style.  She did so many fun patterns for this gatcha item.  The Pose Fair ends at midnight...don't turn into a pumpkin....hurry.

House That Heals

Had to take a break...I was overwhelmed and not feeling well.  So back with some home goods because I still don't have the oomph to style fashion today. 

I love to collect home items especially houses.  My latest is this cute Zigana house.  Its not new but I went to the store to pick up the 50L sale and decided to take a look at the houses to see if there was one to go with the Cleo Designs veranda.  I modified the house a bit to fit the veranda and included additional items from The Challenge & 7th Unknown Hunt.

One of my fave additions are the bluebonnets...they make me super happy as they are blooming in Texas now.  If you haven't seen the wildflowers of Texas check this link.  I'm a proud Texan and love spring here.  It's not lush every year but just to see even the smallest patch of bluebonnets takes all my cares away and brings a smile to my face.  I've had these for several years and found them on marketplace.  One of the first things I looked for when I bought my first sim.  Priorities ya know :)  more notes below...

[This is a separate piece to attach to your home.  It comes decorated with 2 chairs, bench, porch pouf, shelf with decorative items, 2 floor plants.  Chair has 10 single sits, bench cushions has couple and single animations.(total  21).  With some animations props automatically rez and some are sent to your inventory to wear.  Pouf has 3 sits and 5 texture change options. Veranda has 5 animations just sit on it.  Also I tinted the color to match the house.  It's blue & wood is richer...dulled it down some. Just love all the pieces included....really great idea]

Bird Love

More from The 7th Unknown Hunt.  In my previous post I forgot to mention that there is a bird theme to this hunt.  Also remember these are builders that have new shops about/less than a year old.  Some really creative new builders...so I encourage to visit all the shops in this hunt.

Spring Rain

The Unknown Hunt has started and in love with this romper.  This hunt has a really great concept to introduce hunters to new stores. The stores are chosen randomly and have opened during a specific time period...usually 6 months prior to the set hunt date. I've given the link to the blog below so you can see the prizes, hints & links.

Also, at the Pose Fair HANDverk created umbrellas and parasols to go with Exposeur April Shower poses. Exposeur created a great line of to go with these both individual and couple poses.  I love the parasol animal handles and of course I had to use the one with the owl handle. Cute! More notes below...
