thee appreciated | lisp version

Last month we appreciated Art Dummy so it goes hand in hand that we follow up the ever-flowing creativity of Art Dummy with the ever-creating genuis of Lisp. I've watched Lisp flourish this past year. They went from having a smaller store of original themed sets to having a sim full of sets that are appropriate to decorate your whole house with.

Lisp not only cranks out new items on an almost weekly basis but they do it without missing out on the small things. The texturing and details they put into their work is what makes checking out the new releases fun to see. I've seen and picked up many things from Lisp, some of my favorites being an umbrella lamp that had the raindrops as the the bulbs, a book shelf made of books, a hanging lightbulb with a mustache, any and all of their holiday decor is great. If you haven't been before make sure to check out their Halloween set. Check out some of the items Lisp has to offer below and then check them out in world here.

Everything pictured below is from Lisp with the exception of myself and the structure which is from *Funky*Junk* Lil Country Shed. For more pics of the items featured check my flickr.

thee 50l fri 05.27.11

I was really impressed with this weeks 50l fri, so much so that it made me wanna change my av. I don't change on a daily basis, sometimes on a weekly basis, but todays 50l fri made me wanna change twice!

I really liked the boots over at Fir & Mna, I still need to try the jeans but I scooped them up too. Ingenue had some cute flats I bought for me and gifted my kid av =] Kyoots bathing suits, League and Miel's jewelry, Olive Juice's poses, Fawns leggings, basically everything was a win this week. My favorite thing was Miel's jewelry it came with a necklace and bracelet that both had huds where you can customize the beads to say whatever you want. Imma sucka for personal touches. Check out all the 50l fri goodness over at the Rumor blog.

thee welcome home

We change houses almost as much as we change in clothes in sl. I guess its another creative outlet and I love using different items I pick up and fitting them together to make sense in "my world." Below are some snaps of our new boathouse, it feels casual and comfy which is pretty much our style.

Some of my favorite things I found to add to the house include a katana cleaning set, some oreos in a cute little tupperware (its the little things), the lizards that hang out around the house, the chia pet from Intrigue & Co, and of course my pig. I wish Zoobys would make a pet pig that would follow me around already. Then my sl would be complete. There's too much stuff to note where its all from, I'm too lazy for that, if something catches your eye let me know and I'll give you the creator.

Welcome home...

thee home & garden expo

The Home & Garden Expo has tons to offer - houses, home accessories, landscaping, building lessons, entertainment, charity, and scavenger hunts! The best thing so far that I have found is that I don't lag at the 10 sim filled expo nearly as much as I did at recent events. I love expos and fairs and any events with such a collection of great designers but I don't even bother going if I can't move.

There's plenty for everyone at this expo - vintage, rustic, modern, fantasy, etc. I saw some new things from some of my favorite home designers including a new modern beach house from Prefabulous. Dutchie, another store I am familiar with, set up a house and furnished it really well. I also found new designers that I am definitely going to check out their mainstores like Panache and ReBourne Prefabs. And of course there were some great overall creative store set ups at the expo like Lisp & Art Dummy, Artilleri was looking retro as ever, and Fae Faire H & G Owner definitely caught my eye.

So...I snapped a few pics using my Kari photo hud, check em out...

















I didn't get to check out everything yet, when I have time I am looking forward to checking out what the loft, north west, what next, and lalalicious have to offer at the expo.

thee appreciated | art dummy version

I was browsing the sales today and came across a home store (no names, im sure if you're clever you can figure it out) I had never been to before. I love finding new stores because it means new things I haven't seen before that I can buy and add to my ever growing collection of things i dont need but must have for my pixel haven.

I landed at the new store and was somewhat familiar with the surroundings, it reminded me of What Next's overall store set up that creates an inviting atmosphere of reminding you of home. As I start walking into the building I see somthing else familiar, an entrance fixture that I've seen at Lalalicious before. I even inspected it to see who made it because it was so similar, sure enough the store owner was the creator. Then I ran (because i dont walk in sl) thru all the different rooms checking out the furniture and home accessories figuring out that it cant be a coincidence that I've seen these pieces before. From lights, chandeliers, bookcases, cabinets, and more, I realized that I have some of these things in my inventory all ready but not from this creator. There were a handful of things that I hadn't seen before and I liked but it made me question whether I just hadn't discovered another store she had already. I guess its like they say...imitation is the best form of flattery but to me creativity is golden. It also made me appreciate the current home & garden stores that I frequent when I need something for my sl home or the school. So I'm going to try and feature a home & garden store that I appreciate as my time permits. The first in this series will be art dummy!

Art Dummy I discovered while visiting Lisp (another store I will definitely be featuring.)The store started with a few things and has continued to grow and release quality products. Its like the creator has an insight into exactly what I like. Our first transaction was a cute lil goldfish swimming around, a chalkboard bed set, and well...a wooden art dummy. These items reflect my personality and of course that's what I'm looking to do when I work on personal projects in sl like my home. Below are some other find's from Art Dummy.
