New Releases at Yasum

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is an invitation to the new releases section at Yasum Design, where the fantastic designer offers one color of each for just $1L. We can find which one by looking for a purple balloon animal above it, and the displays to check have a heart shaped balloon floating above them. Now that you've got the details on how to track the dollarbies down, I'm excited to show you some of the current discounted offers :) I'm a huge fan of this brand and really admire their original creations, very stylish and easy to wear. Casual but classy, flirty but elegant, I feel like you can find something to suit nearly any mood. I'm certainly not going to turn down the chance to save this much money and come home with a terrific new wardrobe!

My first look is the one I'll probably be wearing all weekend, the Yasum*Stacy-Set*Rose dollarbie. She's a sweet style with lace trim and a snug fit, whose top and shorts will each fit Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The metals HUD provided lets us choose from 5 metallic hues for the various rivets and clasps on both pieces. Pink is one of my favorite colors, so this pale shade suits my tastes very well :)

We can also look stunning in the Yasum*Jenny-Set*Moss outfit for just $1L. The cropped top is designed with the hands hidden and in the pockets, so you will need to use the enclosed alpha layer and hide your fingernails. The cargo pants come in the original version and one for the belt, so that's a top, 2 pants versions, and a belt add-on in total :) All of those come in sizing for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, along with a metals HUD offering 6 choices for all the metallic bits and pieces. This one feels so playful, and it'll be autumn before we know it (how is it August tomorrow already?) so this outfit is going to come in extremely handy for the weather changes.

The Yasum*Jena*Berry outfit has me humming to myself...I believe in miracles, where you from, you sexy thing? The cropped top has a high neck and long sleeves, and works so well with the low rise leggings and their flirty distressed style. I forgot I was wearing physics so when my avi turned to show the rear, my booty had a little bit of jiggle (through one of the openings) that made me laugh :) For just $1L you'll receive the top and leggings in Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. Now the challenge is to decide if I want to wear a belly tattoo, back tattoo, or navel piercing with this look. 

Next I changed into the Yasum*Shiho-Set*Peach outfit, which is intricately designed to turn heads wherever you go. It consists of the top, panties, skirt, and boots, all in sizes for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The top's HUD offers 6 metals each for the mesh and metal, while the boots HUD has the same 6 options for mesh and buckles. Now by mesh they mean the sections in the panties and knees, mesh like a screen door rather than fitmesh like the whole outfit is :) The skirt being all straps is such a fun detail, like a looser version of the mesh inserts that give it all a breezy cool feeling. This pale peach is pretty similar to the rose color from the first outfit I showed above, and I do adore them both.

My final look of the night is two pieces that are meant to be together - the Yasum*Tender-Dress*Sky and their Tender-Corset*Sky. They are just $1L each, and the dress looks amazing with or without the corset added :) Unpack the dress and you'll find Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu sizes inside, and our corset includes coordinating Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn sizing as well as a metals HUD with 6 options. I can also imagine wearing the corset with some BOM lingerie, like a favorite bra and panty set with some thigh high stockings. 

I'm a little groggy from very interrupted sleep for no reason, no noise or storms or anything like that. So I hope everything I've said here makes sense :) Dinner at my parents' house was really nice as usual, and I was lucky that their very shy birds decided to let me handfeed them a tortilla chip. It's all about trust, and these two have almost none for most humans. They're okay with my dad since they seem to trust men more than women, but my mom and I usually get ignored or avoided. The farmers marker is closed tomorrow (and next weekend) so I'm just randomly going out a few other places in the afternoon. There are always errands to run, and it should be decent weather other than being cloudy. Not too hot and not stormy :) I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

TeleportHub Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we explore to find some TeleportHub.com group gifts, which is always an adventure as with all of these multi-designer groups :) This one has a small $10L fee to join, which keeps us safe from spam and scams, so I've never regretted that tiny donation to the cause. The notices are full of information on new releases and special sales, and every participating designer can choose to offer a gift for the group at their store if they wish. They are usually easy to spot, since most are in a special frame with the name of the group and buttons to click for the website and to join the group. I've been a member for ages and it is always fun checking to see what's new :)

My first stop was BlondeQueen, where their current TeleportHub treat is called BQ::Magdalene Openback Dress FAT PACK. So pretty, with a splash of flirty! The dress comes in baby blue, black, hot pink, nude, plum, powder (pale pink), red, and white, which are each packaged separately. Open your chosen color and you'll find sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Prima, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The back is as advertised, lol, scooped down low enough to show off a little bit of booty cleavage. The embossed floral pattern is such a nice touch too, don't you think?

The HORL - Poppy Outfit is an eye-catching gift in black leather. The halter top and side-laced skirt are each designed to fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. It is so detailed with all of the straps, rivets, and even a tiny buckle on the lower strap of the top. I'd like to wear it to an 80s club on rock night!

Next I've slipped into the gorgeous TOG STORE . Berry Set crossed halter dress. Its front opening is loosely held closed by two slender straps, and the back is completely bare which means it's a great time to show off a tattoo if you've got one. We receive sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu bodies, along with a HUD offering 9 texturing options. Each button is split to show that there are two colors or patterns in each, one for the main dress and the other for the trim. We've got a great variety here, as you can tell from just the two I'm sharing above.

Sometimes we need a smart casual outfit, and the GGVG ELA OUTFIT GROUP GIFT is certainly ready to fit that bill :) Its knotted top, jacket that ties about the waist, and snug shorts are each included in Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, with an adjustable hat in a visor style. The HUD offers 14 main colors and 8 edges each for top and shorts, plus 14 colors for the jacket and 8 for the hat. I'll be wearing this quite often this summer, with or without both the hat and the jacket :)

My final look this evening is fantastic for summer too - the Belle Epoque - Carol Bikini - GIFT. Our bra and panties are separate pieces in sizing for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. The floral pattern really pops against its dark background, and the rear view is a bit cheeky so this is best reserved for mature rated destinations. My skybox apartment has a hot tub, so that's the first place I'm headed in it :) 

Whew, so my visit about my glasses was effective but challenging. The original prescription was very strong and made me excessively dizzy and nauseated, so I was hoping they could make sure things were aligned properly with my pupils and if so (they were) if the doctor there could adjust the script. Well she was hard to explain, and I'm trying not to be rude which makes one of us. Said my usual doctor sucks at refractions (??) and asked if she overheard me saying I didn't like the other doctor. I did not say that and told her so, and she snapped "oh just SAY IT, safe space in here!" which was bizarre. No ma'am, it does not feel like a safe space if you're mad that you misheard me saying that I wouldn't be able to see them for several weeks and needed the script adjusted sooner than that. She then insisted that I must have a metabolic disease if I have cataracts so young without diabetes or eye trauma since there are only 3 causes at my age. She was going to call her mom to ask what I needed blood testing for from my primary care doctor, LOL, seriously her mom is an eye surgeon so that isn't quite as weird as it sounds, but I don't think she did call. End result - I am now waiting another 2ish weeks for a new pair of glasses to be ready, and then I'll try again. Life is so weird sometimes, isn't it? I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Off-Line Gifts for July

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I am finally able to share the July group gifts from "Off-Line" :) Their group is $99L to join, and there are 5-7 gifts for each month as well as an Advent calendar in December with daily treats. That is certainly worth the fee in my mind, and if you agree I do hope you stay in the group for year-round goodies. I'd been checking every day or two and today was the first time the July gifts were active (scripting in SL can be glitchy) so I am eagerly sharing while noting that I'm expecting the July gifts to be active for a while now :) I know it's close to the end of the month, but hopefully you still have some time to stop by.

My first look of the evening is our gift called "Off-Line" x "Silvia" Dress / Fatpack. The long sleeved crop top and sleek miniskirt are tied together to create this flirty dress, in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. Each size is packaged in black, buttercream, cantaloupe, grey, lavender, lemon, lime, marzipan, nude, periwinkle, pigeon, pistachio, rose, salmon, spring, taffy, tangerine, thistle, turquoise, and white. Can you guess which colors I'm wearing? It's buttercream on the left, and tangerine on the right :)

I really enjoy the "Off-Line" x "Summer" Set / Fatpack gift for this time of year, but probably also spring and fall :) The top and skirt (with jacket tied around the waist, attached) are each included in Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing. There is also a HUD enclosed for each - the top's HUD has 20 color choices in solid, thrasher logo, or palm angels logo (Palm Angels on the left above, Thrasher is the flames logo on the right) while the skirt HUD offers the same 20 colors for skirt, jacket, or jacket prints which is the softly tie dyed texture on the left above. The versatility always makes me smile, and I really like their color palette. 

For something formfitting from high neck to below the knee, with the added appeal of a corset waist, you'll want to open the "Off-Line" x "Gigi" Dress / Fatpack :) The dress fits Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with a HUD that offers 20 colors each for the dress and corset. It really hugs our curves in all the right places, doesn't it?

Next we take a look at the cozy "Off-Line" x "Nelly Essentials / Fatpack gift, which is comprised of crop tee and panties in sizes for BBL, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. Each package contains black, buttercream, cantaloupe, grey, marzipan, pigeon, rose, salmon, tangerine, thistle, and white versions of each piece. The various colored tops all seem to have a different logo or image on the front, like the salmon I'm wearing on the left (with white panties) says Tokyo, and thistle (worn on the right with grey panties) says Day Dream. The tops give a very busty appearance, so people will probably be trying to read your shirt or at least pretending that is why they're staring ;)

My final look of the night is called "Off-Line" x "Stassie" Bikini / Fatpack, and this gift has me feeling like heading for the nearest beach or pool! We receive an unpacker HUD each of Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya body sizes. Open one up and you'll find black, buttercream, camo, cantaloupe, cobalt, grape, grey, lavender, lemon, lime, marzipan, nude, passion, periwinkle, pigeon, pistachio, rose, salmon, spring, taffy, thistle, turquoise, and white inside. I'm wearing the turquoise on the left above, and passion on the right. The back cutout makes it look like a two piece from the rear, but a one piece with pretty slender belt tied around the waist from the front view. 

It was a stormy evening and we lost power for a little bit, while I was in the first half of typing this post out as a matter of fact. At least it came back quickly, and I am not too far behind :) Tomorrow I'll be going back to the Target optical department to try to get the situation with my glasses resolved, so no blog post since I'll be busy and/or dizzy. Yep, I rhymed that inadvertently ;) I am looking forward to finding out why they made me so dizzy and queasy, if the prescription is too strong or something is out of alignment. We'll still have storms off an on for the next few days so I am mindful of that as well. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Fitmesh Fanatics Freebies

Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to explore some gifts for the Fitmesh Fanatics group, which is currently free to join. That means that everything you see featured in this post is free just for visiting the stores :) I'm always interested in seeing what these places have on sale or as new releases, so these multi-designer groups just give me an extra excuse to go browsing. I'm very grateful for this type of group, and for all the participating designers who offer treats for the members to enjoy.

Our first stop is ANGEL"s JEWELRY to claim their glittery AJ_dress ANDREA bw flower gift. The style is stunning, with the diagonal hem that goes all the way up to the left hip (showing off some cheek in the rear view) and the fun strap holding it in place. There are sizes for Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. The most noteworthy feature is probably the animated glitter, hard to see in still images like this but there are tiny sparkles that you can see in person :)

I also visited Yuni where their terrific gift for us is called Taran Outfit. I'm loving the Chinese style with mandarin collar and frog buttons, modernized with bared midriff and extra short skirt. Both the top and skirt will fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. It isn't very noticeable in my photo unfortunately, but there is a subtle swirly pattern embossed on the fabric that reminds me of clouds or windy weather. 

I really adore the [ARTi'S] SpringTime Dress because of the floral print and the way it skims along our curves, but I do have a confession - the rebel in me wants to remind you that flowers aren't just for spring ;) I can read the name, lol, but I'm going to wear it in the summer too, and probably other times of year because it is simply too lovely to leave hanging in a closet. We receive sizing for Erika, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Nhumana Lively, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, Reborn, Waifu, and Rebirth Petite mesh bodies. Whew! That is an impressive set of sizes, so if you have any friends with one of these bodies and not enough clothing for it, please send them here!

Next we take a look at the gorgeous [LRS] Irem Dress, which is similar to the first one I shared tonight with some notable differences. Instead of being strapless, this beauty has spaghetti straps where the left one has slipped off our shoulder, and the diagonal hemline is cut to provide more coverage of our bottom. The dress and matching garter are each provided in Erika, Gen X Classic/Dainty, Gen X Curvy/Dainty, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The garter has three chains draped from it that alternate between gold and white, so pretty! I also got a kick out of the fabric's childlike pattern, with whimsical sketches of hearts, stars, stick figures, and XOXO colored in bright scribbles. 

My final stop of the evening was *Stars*Fashion* where I gratefully grabbed their Bea gift for the Fitmesh Fanatics group (on the wall with several other treats for various groups). The strapless dress with drop waist comes in sizes for Freya, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy Boobs, while the coordinated boots will fit Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. Then there is a HUD enclosed with 15 colors each for dress and boots, 3 metals, 5 for the straps, and 3 for the soles. I had a lot of fun playing with the HUD as usual, lol, since I simply can't resist that urge ;) That dark purple is an instant favorite color for me, but variety is the spice of life, even Second Life. 

I can't figure out if I need a nap, a few minutes of stretching, or a really good piece of dark chocolate. I don't have the chocolate and not really time for a nap, lol, so I'm going to do a little stretching when I finish here :) It was a decent day and I am still unsure if I'm going out Wednesday or Thursday, as that will be determined by the weather. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Ewa Boutique Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd realized that the Ewa Boutique group was free to join (usually there is a fee) so I couldn't resist sharing a few of the many group gifts you can find upstairs. My link should bring you directly to them, a few dozen treats that range in style and season. Many of them are fatpacks so we get to play with HUDs and change up the colors, which is always appreciated by making it feel like several outfits in one. 

My first look of the evening is our gift called {EB} HARUM FATPACK. The top and skirt are linked into a one-piece outfit, which fits Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn Waifu mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD with 24 colors each for the top and skirt, so we can mix and match to make the look our own :) The top is partly open but tied at the bust, and the pleated skirt gives me school uniform flashbacks, LOL! I am far enough past that point of my life where that is not a bad thing, by the way, just an amusing one. My skirt was never that short or low cut, in fact we had a rule of 1 day detention for each inch above the knee you wore the skirt. This outfit was certainly not made with dress codes in mind though, and I'm glad!

Another flirty find from the group gift wall is this {EB} CHARLENNE FATPACK. This time the top and skirt are separates, in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The enclosed HUD lets us pick from 15 colors each for the top, top trim, skirt, and skirt trim, plus 5 metals for the clasp in front of the top. The style is so playful, and I do love a nice halter top :) 

{EB} SASSYL FATPACK is one of my favorite gifts tonight, simply because I'm in the mood for ruffles :) This pairing of halter top, detached long sleeves, and buttoned wrap skirt are all linked and worn as one easy piece. Along with the Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, we receive a HUD with 18 colors apiece for the top/sleeves and skirt. Maybe you're in the mood for a sleek monochromatic look, or perhaps you crave a couple of bright colors to liven up your day :) Either way, they've got you covered.

Two things that I mention my fondness for quite often here are denim and animal prints, so imagine my joy at finding them combined in one terrific gift! Our {EB} LUCIA LEOPARD outfit starts with the tied tube top (reminds me of a scarf) in a big cat print, then continues with the denim miniskirt which has cutouts where the front pockets go and a heart shaped charm on the left one. They both come in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. Since they are separates, you can wear either piece with other wardrobe staples, and maybe even find a fun match among these generous gifts :) 

Finally, I'm wrapping up the evening with a glamorous minidress with feathery wisps that make the skirt even more eye-catching. The {EB} MARRYE FATPACK includes Gen X, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes of the dress, as well as a HUD to select from 24 colors for the dress and 8 choices for the chains at the top. This is such a stunning look that it deserves a spot in your inventory for those days where you want to look chic but still a bit sassy. 

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was busy but mostly in a good way. Saturday was a beautiful day for the farmers market, and I was glad to be there even if a few favorite vendors weren't. Today was mostly focused on a therapy session, which ran longer than usual and was very in-depth. I really respect that my therapist was willing to take the time to reassure me and make sure I was going to be okay instead of just being like "alrighty, session time is over, suck it up till next time". I'd seen a therapist many years ago who would have done just that. We had a few rounds of thunder tonight that startled me a bit, although for the most part the weather has been decent :) I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Cream of the Crop

Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is another handful of gifts from the calendar at Cremosas store, where there is a new gift for their free group each day of July. They do these all year round by the way, similar to an Advent calendar and so amazingly generous :) I've shared 2 posts full already, and we are getting to the end of the month so this is probably the last one for this month. As I mentioned last time, each date's gift folder contains 2 gifts - new ones (the ones I'm showing you) and the older one from a prior round. Yep, even more generosity for us to appreciate! My randomly chosen treats tonight are of a more flirty nature, so maybe your weekend can get a little steamy if you visit soon :)

For my first look of the evening, I'm wearing the Cremosas - B 16 bodysuit. Actually it could be intended for use as a swimsuit, but I sometimes find them to be interchangeable in SL. There are sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, which is the same set of sizes you'll receive for all of tonight's looks. I really like the sheen of the material and the fun white sections, so pretty!

Cremosas - B 16 is also a bodysuit, technically a bikini but one piece rather than two. It's also got several chains draped around it, with one on the ribs having fun little charms dangling from it. The X tape pasties and thong bikini bottom are all attached too, so this gift is just a single mesh piece with plenty of stunning details. I feel like it should make a jingling sound when we move, lol, wouldn't that be funny? 

If you need another fantastic swimwear look, be sure to grab the Cremosas - B 20 bikini with bonus. The bikini is one piece in the usual sizes for the evening, then the pool float is a separate add-on that you can choose to wear or leave off if you prefer. It attaches at the waist and looks like it's been slung around our hips, just as I used to wear/carry a similar inner tube floatie on the beach :) Since all of these gifts are black, I feel like this could be a Goth girl's dream wardrobe. 

Next we see the gorgeous Cremosas - B 21 dress, which caught my eye with the tulip shaped bra cups and soft pleats on the front of the skirt. I'm also a huge fan of the thin straps winding their way around the waist and holding up our little skirt :) Halter necklines always make me happy, and the mostly bare back is a great way to show off a tattoo if you've got one in your inventory that you need to show off.

One last look of the night, we have the Cremosas - B 23 dress which is hot off the presses :) That asymmetrical style is such fun to wear, and I appreciate the magic of SL making this type of clothing so wearable compared to RL. I just got the giggles thinking about wearing this in the sun and getting the strangest tan lines imaginable! Don't worry, my RL outfit planned for tomorrow's time in the sun is much more sensible...shorts and a short sleeved tee. 

I'm excited for the farmers market in the morning because they will be closed the following 2 weekends for the owners' daughter's wedding in Italy. It sounds beautiful, and I can't wait to see pictures :) I hope you all have a lovely weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

SL Frees and Offers

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was inspired by finding one amazing SLFO (SL Frees & Offers) group gift, and it just led into a whole adventure of seeking out more to share too :) The group is free to join, and there are so many talented designers who send notices to the group to update us of sales, new releases and the like. They are also able to offer a gift for group members at their store, which is what I'm sharing a handful of this evening. You know by now how much I enjoy the variety of this type of group gift, and am thankful for all of the stores who take part.

My first look is the charming Patty CK Gift #3 dress, and it's actually $1L rather than free. Obviously I took one look at that great denim texture and decided it was well worth it, lol, and hoping you do the same. The dress comes in Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. I love the way the skirt is lifted on the left thigh and tied with a loose bow, very flirty detail.

Over at Violet Skies, I found the lovely Xara Dress - Black as our SLFO group gift. The style is a very flattering tube dress with unique pattern that looks like sequins and beads. There are sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Prima, Prima Petite, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies provided. There are so many ways we can accessorize this, with black or silver heels coming to mind first. Anything beaded, footwear or jewelry, would be a nice touch too.

Next we have the stunning Intisl red dress & black boots gift, which you can claim by clicking the black gift bag on the floor next to the photos of the dress and boots (beneath the SLFO sign). It pops up a menu to choose your size from Lara X, Legacy, or Reborn, but you can also click again and pick another size if you regularly wear more than one body. It would be tricky to match the exact shade of red, so black is a terrific choice for the footwear, and these add an edgy vibe that I am definitely enjoying.

GET THE LOOK is offering their Maria Outfit upstairs as their gift for us, and it is a summery dream :) The bra top and slit shorts are each provided in Legacy, Legacy Free, Perky, Lucybody, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes. The shorts almost look like a skirt at first glance if you catch a glimpse of the side openings, but a front view makes the drawstring bow more noticeable. It really makes me think of beach vacations, even if it's just a virtual daytrip.

For my final look, I kept those shorts on to help me show you the ::MM:: Leaky Cauldron Women's cropped top gift from Max Magic. This short hoodie comes in sizing for Freya, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with a HUD that offers 3 background colors for the "Leaky Cauldron" take on a popular coffee shop's logo. I feel the urge to reinforce that while I love the Potterverse and the way it brought fans together, I do not support the way its creator thinks or behaves towards a segment of the population around her. The fans have done amazing things to expand and breathe more life into her concept, and that is a special thing. 

I've just finalized my plans for tomorrow, which will prevent me from blogging in the evening because they won't leave me time to prep any photos and notes. I'll be back Friday though, and haven't yet decided what I'll be blogging so it will be a surprise to all of us ;) Sometimes I feel like midnight mayhem would be as apt as midnight magpie for the name of this blog, LOL, but I am encouraged that I actually look forward to leaving the house sometimes. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
