Baby, It's Cold Outside!

I'm loving my little shoppe's holiday theme! It makes me want to curl up in front of the fireplace as the snow falls outside, sip a cup of cocoa and nibble on a cookie - which you can do by clicking on the pot of cocoa. You can also grab a candy cane from the jar. Isn't Second Life awesome?

Most of the items I got were from Black Friday sales, group gifts and events. To get this shot, I used the Coastal Sunset Windlight setting. Please do click on the photo to see the original size.

I simply can't help myself - I just have to blog about the new Group Gift from Truth Hair.

Yes, I would like to get to know you, if I could...

Hi, I'm Fionne Burleigh, your new roving reporter for SL Style & More! LOL! Actually, this is my first attempt at blogging for Second Life and Kai was considerate enough to risk.... er, invite me to post on his blog and give a bit of a female perspective.  I joined Second Life back in 2005 but left in 2009 - back when sculpties and mega prims were innovative! 😶 I recently returned and let me tell you - it's been eye opening! Still, I'm having fun, making new friends and learning, relearning and unlearning the SL ropes. I tend to look for bargains and ways to help new residents. I'm a member of 1 Linden 1 Hour, 25L Tuesday and Fifty Linden Friday as well as several of the best gift giving groups in SL! We have some awesome and generous creators whose talent blows me away! If you know of any I might not be a member of, shoot me an IM in game or leave a message here.

Here's my first photo for the blog - me all decked out for Christmas in front of my little shoppe.
