THE HOUSE OF DESPOND

I figured, if I'm going to spend a ridiculous amount of time decorating my little place for Halloween, I might as well take some pictures and blog it, right? ... Disclaimer: Just because I am blogging it doesn't mean I'm done. I'm still looking for some ground covers I like, and I may set out my skelly flagstones if I have any more prims left.



Come on in! I don't bite ... hard.



I've been collecting Halloweeny bits for years, and this year I finally found a low-land-impact treat bucket to rez. The kicker is, this kitty bucket is a duplicate of one I have in real life :D Instant favorite!

BLANCHE FRAICHE

I am so enjoying the Truth District opening … Lovely designers, beautiful scenery, and the buzz of good company. Standing room only.

Several of the designers timed the release of new creations to coincide with the District Opening; in particular Gala Phoenix released three new skins, with six makeups each. As soon as I saw the Curio sign, I knew I was in big big trouble. You know how am about her skin, don't you?

This soft, glowing, beautiful skin I am wearing is a gift. (I would have paid!) *happy sigh* I'm still trying to choose one or two more ...

HAPPY MOMENT

I was poking around feeling blah, clickety clack, ho hum, whatever ... when I wandered into this shop and saw this sweater jacket. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in shopping therapy, but I stood there for a minute and there was this odd blend of nostalgia and whimsy. I bought it and ran off to find something fun.

So certain that I will land upon my feet.
