Hiya everyone! If my post's title confused you, I can clear that up quite easily :) The new round of my favorite cart sale is called The Wash Springtacious Cart Sale, and it started today so I am naturally very excited. All the items are $10L with the exception that each cart is allowed to offer a special $50L item (many of these are fatpacks) so there is an impressive selection of affordable clothing (mens, womens, and childrens), home decor, accessories, and more. I like the idea of creating the word "springtacious" for this round, it's fun and unique. As for the Kiyomizu part of the title, well as you saw yesterday it is time for the Kiyomizu Spring 2017 Hunt at the Kiyomizu Mall where I have been enjoying their seasonal hunts for several years now. This year has some distinctly tricky ninja cats to find, hidden extremely well (tiny, underground, outside buildings, etc.) so be prepared for a challenge. It is a rewarding one though :)
The first delightful bargain I am showing you from the Cart Sale is from the Entice cart, their Daydreamer Dress in Pins. The dress is included in standard mesh sizes along with Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions, and is scattered with multicolored bobby pins. I love the built-in belt with bright silver zipper, too. Just $10L for this or your choice of many other dresses (including this one in another design) on their cart. Visit their main store here to see their full array, but the cart location in the credits is the only place to find this beauty at the discounted price.
Maybe you are in the mood for something more casual, for the warm days to come, well allow me to point you towards the Dark Water Designs cart. There you can find this Spring Short Set in Rainy Day for just $10L, a terrific bargain for two different pairs of shorts (striped and plain) plus the tank top with a HUD for 3 texture options as shown. Each part comes in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes (5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink) and there are other color/texture combinations available at the cart too. Dark Water Designs' main store link is here, but the bargains are at the cart sale whose link is in my credits at the end, as usual :)
Over to the Kiyomizu Hunt, this fun dress is our prize from Bouquet of Magic hidden in their ninja kitty. It comes in a single mesh size with the matching alpha, and I was able to use my Maitreya body's HUD to adjust for a good fit. As you can tell, I seem to have broken my phone, which is the Broken iPhone 7 prize from Water Voice. It has a hold pose built in, and I took the opportunity to play with the Bento Facial AO for my mesh head to achieve my look of dismay here. Don't worry, all these cute cats we are looking for in the hunt can cheer us up.
Two more Kiyomizu prizes here, starting with the Noal Spring Check Shirt which is included in standard mesh sizes plus matching alpha layer. I couldn't help but notice that the attached belt is a good match for another hunt prize, the Miyabi Lady's Watch Ryu. This stunning timepiece comes in a men's version as well, and both have a menu upon clicking to adjust the time zone as well as turn hovertext on or off. The dragon design helps make this a wearable piece of art, that just happens to be a fully functional watch.
I hope you are all having a terrific day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! I've got a few more goodies to share with you from the Kiyomizu Summer Hunt, and if you need a new bathing suit you will definitely enjoy this post. Plenty of summery prizes, with a dash of fun at the end, I had a great time preparing this post!
First we have a fun mesh bathing suit with matching pareo from Wish, #67 in the hunt. I did have some issues with the alpha layer (my boobs weren't playing nicely with it?) but your shape might work perfectly with it :) The bikini top and bottom are one piece (linked I guess is more accurate) in standard mesh sizes, and the pareo also comes in standard sizes. The sunflowers are a cheerful addition for sure.
If you need to cool off, this bikini from Shiorin's Mart (#9) is an ideal choice, and I had a blast adding the fans from Bouquet of Magic, #60 in the hunt. Now the bikini is standard sizes of mesh for the top and the bottoms, and the back is narrow but not quite a thong. I gave my bum the night off from modeling, LOL, as I've been taking way too many photos of it lately. How clever is the newspaper print on this bikini? Meanwhile the hand fan with its streamers fluttering in the breeze are so entertaining, and there is a built in pose which is quite convenient. I did an inset of a closer view of the sweet little bunny on my shoulder, who also has a rotating fan to keep you cool while looking adorable :)
I stepped away from the pool to show you a lovely summery dress, this is from shopMinor and is prize #39 in the hunt. The delicate lace and spaghetti straps add a feminine touch to contrast nicely with the rugged denim and seams down the side and at the hem.
Another unique dress you can find in this fantastic hunt is this Gothic Bone dress from 10*4, who are #64 in the hunt. Those skeletal fingers almost acting as a bra make me laugh, and it would work well for Halloween too, so enjoy it now and hang onto it for next season :)
No matter how much fun I had by my pool, the time comes when the night comes to a close and it's time to head inside. Looks like the rain started, hehe, so it's a good thing I visited VJ Eyewear and picked up their Umbrella Pudding in cat #68. It has the hold pose built in, along with the rain you see that can be turned off by clicking the umbrella. The spoon stuck in the side is so cute, and the pudding wiggles when you move :) In addition, I get to show you another gorgeous clothing gift, the tank top from *Ran*. I love the lace and the roses!
Nail note of the night: the cute watermelon designs you may notice on my nails are from prize #71, Frangipani Garden. There are 3 choices on the HUD, with red watermelon and seeds or yellow watermelon with seeds, or green stripes of the watermelon rind with a small flower on it. They are terrific for summer :)
Well, it's time for the credits and then I've got a million things to do...as I am having company this weekend (arriving tomorrow evening), my blog is either taking a vacation for a few days or will have a couple of very small posts if I get a chance. I promise I'll be back as soon as I can, and magical magpie hugs to all of you!!
