Happy and Lucky Halloween!

Hiya everyone! I really enjoy checking out lucky boards to see what treats they hold for us, and I have some Halloween prizes to share as well as some non-holiday goodies for whenever. Since one store's lucky boards need a group tag (their group is free to join), I am even showing a group gift that is right above their lucky boards.


This adorable Halloween dress is available in different colors at different *Sweet CAT* locations, but they each come with the playful hat you see above which has a resize script built in. They each also include a pair of system gloves and socks, not shown, but if you don't wear mesh feet/hands then they are a cute optional touch :) The style of the dress is unique too, with the bell shaped skirt and the thin strap across the back.


This fantastic duo is a lucky board gift found at POTETO, where you will find several lucky boards that are group only, but fortunately said group is free to join. This is the .:piyori:.Sweater&Skirt and I can't even decide which part I love more! The bows, the ruffles, the splashes of plaid...this is an instant new favorite.


This adorable coat is a POTETO group gift right above the lucky boards, by Ambrosia and perfect for Halloween or any cool fall evening. The style would work well with some tights or jeans perhaps, plenty of colors would suit this soft ombre look.


This dress is yet another POTETO lucky board prize for Halloween, and a quite creative one at that. The mesh layer consists of the top and bottom bands with a sheer middle, decorated by a spider and its webs. The tight inner layer is created with a system tattoo layer up top and a system underwear layer below, and one of each is labeled hallowin dress for the version on the left, black dress for the look on the right. If you're feeling particularly naughty, try it without any layers beneath.


One last lucky board prize for the night, this charming frock is from ++My Dear++ and is called hurihuri. It reminds me of something from a fairy tale, maybe a peasant dress of some sort, and is appropriate for many seasons. You only get one mesh size with this one, but it fit me really well.

Nail note of the night: once again I went with the Slink default HUD, a cute and simple French manicure to match anything and everything. My new hair is from Wasabi Pills at the Geeks'n'Nerds event, which ends tomorrow but hopefully will be available at their main store after. 

I am quite sleep-deprived today, so I'll wrap this up with another wish for a Happy Halloween (I know plenty of countries don't celebrate, but it looks to be very popular in SL which is its own world and culture) and I hope you're all having a beautiful weekend. Magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Swank Event Treasures

Hiya everyone! I had the pleasure of visiting the Swank Event and exploring their hunt as well, and I have some goodies to show you from both the hunt and the group gifts found at the main event. Their group is free to join and there are several signs scattered about to click, easy peasy. This month naturally has a Halloween theme, along with the majority of the grid it seems :) Here are just a few treats to be found...

First I am sporting a prize that can be found in the hunt area, which can be reached by teleport pad at the front door. You are looking for slowly rotating witches (flat prim) black with a slight orange glow to them. The best advice I can give you is that things that look solid in SL are not always so, and the figure at the other end of the room is actually a guide to a portal (just walk through!). In the hidden prize from RGDW you will find this very cute Ruffle Denim Short Shirt and Skirt. The seasonal pattern on it is quite subtle, but I really like the mixture of pumpkins, bats, and fall leaves scattered about the fabric. Standard mesh sizes for each top and skirt, and wowie is that a short little skirt!

I showed that first so I could then use the skirt for modesty's sake to share some of the free group gifts, lots of great tops. This sweet sweater is from DaneMarkZ and is called Swank Sweater in Blue Pine. Such a terrific color, and I'm a big fan of the soft ruffles.

This pairing might not have been my best idea ever, LOL, but please ignore the skirt and focus on the stunning gift from *HH* :) Their Ladies Mesh Boyfriend Blazer n Tee with the Sugar Skull design are a group gift and in several mesh sizes, with amazing colors and a great vibe of casual but quirky.

Combining sexy and spooky, this sheer mesh cobweb lace top is our group gift from Paisley Daisy, and comes in standard sizes (I am wearing the M here). No alpha layer because the goal is to see the skin beneath, although I am not wearing any sort of pasties and it doesn't look inappropriate as far as I can see from this angle. I'm sure I could find some cute jack-o-lantern pasties if I wanted to wear this in public safely, and I'm sure any black or orange skirt or pants would look terrific with it.

A really eye-catching decor item that I couldn't resist sharing, this is a Swank group gift from Snuggles and is the chair, cobweb, broom, cauldron, sweetly carved pumpkin, and bag of candy corn all rolled into one piece. This is simply decoration and can't be sat upon, but I wouldn't want to sit on the cute smiling jack-o-lantern anyway because he deserves to be seen.

No real nail note of the night, as I used the default Slink HUD and chose a simple French manicure/pedicure. It really does make things easier sometimes :) I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, magical magpie hugs to all!!

The Mad Circus

Hiya everyone! I guess the past couple of days I took a tiny detour away from Halloween themed hunts and events, but I have another to share tonight called The Mad Circus Halloween & Gacha Fair where you'll find terrific bargains and a slew of gifts between $0L and $10L. Those gifts are what I am focusing on for this post, and since free is my goal I am showing you only things found in the $0L bags. You'll want to check each stall for a small striped bag with handles, and there are an amazing number of participants so enjoy your visit!

I am starting out with a jacket from [TrevaH] called Akasha in Black, and it comes in standard sizes each for the Gold and Silver detail versions each shown above. As for my sexy pants, those are also a free gift at the event, this time courtesy of Supernatural. They are called Leah Pants Black, and come with an Omega applier for your mesh needs. These pants make a good foundation for the next few photos as well, as you're about to see.

This shirt is a free gift from +Facepalm+, aptly named Killer Queen and provided in standard mesh sizes. While it looks great with the pants from the last photo, I can also see it with a pair of red jeans or even a mini skirt. The only limits are your imagination!

These shirts pair remarkably well with the pants too, don't they? This is our free gift from EMPORIUM, two versions of their Grunge Shirt. You can see Leopard on the left and Love Rock on the right, both in that intriguingly tattered style and in standard mesh sizes. 

You know I cannot resist stunning nails, and even more so when they are free gifts! On the left you can see all 5 colors on the Slink HUD from *LX* called Madness, each with a lovely crackle design. On the right, you can see both designs from !Head Desk! from their Slink HUD called Rabbit Hole. The light blue design says Eat Me, in case you can't see it, and the other has a heart atop black and red stripes.

Another weekend is almost upon us, and I am looking forward to a peaceful time with a hint of fun :) First we have a Friday to enjoy though, and I hope you all do so. Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

The Seasons Story Anniversary Gifties

Hiya everyone! I finally visited The Seasons Story for their 2nd anniversary round, and what a treat it turned out to be! Most of the participating designers have out free gifts for everyone, along with the usual wonderful sales items and gachas. The landing area has a ring of vendors to explore, then you'll want to follow the path down to the much bigger ring down the hill where the majority of displays can be found. Two observations about the gifts: 1) there was no clothing for me to show off, and 2) there were lots of hair gifts which is unusual but delightful. So I am focusing on showing you hair tonight, along with a couple of new friends I made there ;)

First we have the Juniper hair from Mithral Apothecary, which comes in the version shown plus a 'busty' version if you need it. I love the soft fading from ginger to creamy blonde, such a pretty and flattering look.

Another gift of long locks can be found at Damselfly's display, their Anjelica with a Mixed HUD so you can switch to a variety of colors/fades, two of which are shown above. 

Blues is offering two gifts with reversed names but similar styles and ideas...on the left we have Anna Lee in Rainbow: brown, and on the right is Lee Anne in Rainbow: blonde. In addition to the color, you'll notice that one has a center part and the other a side part.

If you are looking for something a bit shorter, maybe this beauty called Karin which is our gift from [DUE], complete with a HUD called Vitamin which has 10 pretty shades to choose from. All my wandering made me glad for the gift from C'est la Vie, the Autumn Mug which comes with the attachment called Beard Cream, most likely a mistranslation of mustache and utterly adorable. With no cinnamon or nutmeg as a clue, I have decided that mine is a nice Chai latte for variety's sake...what flavor would you like yours to be? The hold pose is built in by the way.

Last but certainly not least, I did mention I made some new friends while visiting The Seasons Story, and both of the ones I'm showing you here are free gifts! On the left we have our precious Elephant Doll from Gorodee, and on the right we have Schadenfreude's anniversary present for all of us, named voobou: milaya. From her gorgeous violet eyes to her pop of bright pink hair and outfit to match, she is a real charmer!

Instead of a nail note of the night, I have a dress note of the night...with no clothing gifts to share, I went to a reliable and fun place to find goodies, the Marketplace. This Lina Dress from ~@HYA@~ really caught my eye, and it comes in standard mesh sizes in two versions, a grey belted and a white belted variety. I figured it would make a lovely backdrop for all the hairstyles I was showing, while being neutral enough not to distract from them.

Have a glorious day/evening everyone, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Boho Culture Fair Gifts

Hiya everyone! One style that has always spoken to me in RL and SL is Boho in any of its forms...hippie style, earth mama, flower child, whatever images that conjures for you. So it is exciting for me that there is an event in SL that celebrates that style, and this is the 4th year of the Boho Culture Fair so I have been lucky enough to visit the previous ones as well. Most of the stalls have a gift for $0L or $1L in a nicely wrapped gift box, and I am showing you just a few of the thoughtful gifts tonight.

This is a free gift from Stars Fashion, and is more body-conscious than we might normally see from boho fashions, but everyone has their own interpretations of things and I definitely enjoy seeing that variety. This includes both standard and fitmesh sizes so you should have no trouble finding a great fit. The pattern across the bodice has a Bohemian flair to it for sure.

Another delight I found is this *PB* Floral Mesh Backless Dress, which is $1L and includes several mesh sizes along with a HUD for two pattern changes, both shown here. That rear view is quite the revealing surprise, isn't it? :) Not overly naughty, just an unexpected peek of skin on the sides instead of the bum cleavage that we find more often.

If you crave something pretty for beneath your clothing, or instead of outerwear in the right setting, this set from .sass. is an amazing free gift. You will find inside their pretty gift box the system layers shown along with Omega and TMP appliers, and I am loving that color. I also found a stunning matching ring, courtesy of Duh! in their gift box. This is their Boho Turquoise ring, free and fantastic with the bold look and attractive setting.

J&A Rock Culture certainly has the season in mind as well as the fair's main theme, combining them in this spooky free gift that includes the Fire Spaghetti Strap Top and the Wings Jeans, plus a bonus Halloween necklace in mens and womens versions. The clothing comes in several mesh sizes, and all of this is included for free.

One final goodie for the evening, we have a Boho Ruffle Mini Dress from the gift box at MOoH! and this beauty will only cost you one single linden. The colors and the style are so fun, and it does come in standard mesh sizes. 

Nail note of the night: one of my favorite places to find great manicures is La Boheme, and with that name I'd have been shocked if they weren't participating ;) Of course they are though, and for just $1L you can pick up their [LB Romance Pink] in a trio of HUDs which include one for Maitreya, one for Slink & Omega manicures, and one for Slink & Omega pedicures (but the Slink mani worked for all 20 of my nails). The design is a French manicure in several base colors, with tiny pink roses (stems and all) across the tips. They are sweet and elegant, well worth the single linden.

I started this earlier in the day than usual because of a busy evening, and I'm glad I did or else I'd be tearing my hair out right now even if it was a good reason and a fun evening :) Spent time with my adorable 89-year-old grandmother, we played Uno and chatted so it was very heartwarming. I'm the only granddaughter (out of 3 grandkids) and she's my only remaining grandparent so I cherish time with her. So extra mushy magical magpie hugs for everyone tonight!! ;)

Pumpkin Hunting at Nerdy Girl

Hiya everyone! It's no secret that I am a huge fan of Nerdy Girl, so I was very excited to see a group notice about a hunt at her main store (as well as her BHB collab store) to find 6 free pumpkins. What will you find inside, you wonder? I am pleased to report that there are goodies for the guys as well as the gals, so bring your favorite male avi along and search the adorable store together to find 4 shirts (2 male, 2 female) and 2 pairs of leggings in seasonal designs.

Perfect for those days when you're feeling a little batty, this is prize #6 and #1. The Women's Bats Tee is found in pumpkin #6, in standard mesh sizes plus a fitmesh version. The leggings are prize #1, Bats Leggings with an Omega applier, which are a great match for the tee. I'm also always happy to see purple showing up more and more in Halloween items, or showing up anywhere in general :)

Here we have another wonderful pairing, starting with prize #5 which is our Women's Pumpkin Tee with standard mesh sizes plus a fitmesh version. The coordinating Pumpkin Leggings are shown in their system layer but also come with an Omega applier for your mesh body needs. They look so comfy, and the orange of the shirt is just the right shade to be flattering on a wide variety of skin tones and not clash with my auburn hair.

I decided it would be fun to share a closer look at the Slink nails HUD used tonight and yesterday, the Marketplace freebie from G O S H! called Halloweenie. Don't forget they also have a Hallow's Eve free gift in their marketplace store, along with other freebies, so it's well worth the look.

Finally, I couldn't resist showing you the cutest packaging that the Nerdy Girl prizes are safely tucked into :) We've all seen plenty of pretty bags and gift boxes when unpacking things, but this is unusual along with being adorable! All you need to do is right click, "Add", and you will get all your goodies in an appropriately named folder while snuggling your new friend.

Today was fairly decent for a Monday, and there is plenty of week left to enjoy, and find a way to make someone smile. Magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

The Little Black Witch Hat Hunt

Hiya everyone! I am bringing you another Halloween hunt tonight, this time an in-store hunt at The Broken Glass Boutique called The Little Black Witch Hat hunt. There are 10 hats scattered about the outside and inside of the store (which is situated in a lovely beach house by the way) and another for group members only. Just find each and click it for your prize, totally free and filled with clothing and jewelry and seasonal decorations. I am showing a bit of each tonight, so you can get an idea of the treats you can find.


Two of the prizes can be seen here, the Halloween Shirt from #5 and the Orange Denim shorts from hat #4. They look terrific together, but by all means don't have to be worn together if you are used to Halloween costumes needing heavy jackets underneath and therefore think of pants rather than shorts with your Halloween shirt ;) Here we rarely had snow yet this time of year but the temperatures dipped quite low for trick-or-treating. One of many wonderful things about SL though is that weather is relative and if you wanna rock shorts in SL even when you need to wear 6 layers in RL, it's all good!


Here is a look at two more prizes, another pretty pairing starting with the Caught In A Web Dress. It is prize #6 and like the other mesh goodies, comes in standard sizes. I really like the delicate spider webs along the hem, a subtle nod to the spooky season. My earrings and bracelet are prize #3, and would look delightful with the casual outfit also or anything for Halloween you already have in your inventory that needs a little something.


Hat #10 has a great decoration for your table or porch or wherever you need a bit of seasonal pizzazz. Halloween Candle Display has a range of various height candles all in black, plus the colorful leaves and the pumpkin with the creepy carved smile, all in one easy-to-place piece. 


Our final item for the night is another Halloween decoration, found in hat #1 and simply called "Boo". I love the handcrafted look of this, and it features a sweetly smiling jack-o-lantern and a cute ghost who looks like he could be made from a handkerchief. This is smaller than the other I showed you and could easily fit on a shelf or end table.

Nail note of the night: I recently blogged a Halloween nail HUD from G O S H!, a Marketplace freebie called Hallow's Eve, and they have another free gift on the marketplace that is called Halloweenie and that is the one I went with tonight. 5 designs for Slink hands and feet, and they offer other gifts on their marketplace store as well.

Wow, where did this weekend go? I hope you were all able to find things to enjoy about yours, and have a pleasant week ahead. Magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Free Dove Hunt: Java

Hiya everyone! As I've mentioned, the Free Dove has 3 hunts this month in addition to all their usual free gifts, and tonight I'd like to show you some of the hunt prizes from Java. For their hunt, you are looking for a very bright pink coffee cup, which makes perfect sense for the store name :) You will find 10 of them, each with a generous prize hiding inside for you, and bearing the cute name Java Diva Dove Love Gift and a number. Let's take a look at just some of the many treasures that await...

Prize #1 is a curious little dress, at first glance it seems a demure cap sleeve dress in a pattern of soft blues, greys and whites. While trying to figure out the pattern, I realized the name being Nicki Scull (skull?) Dress most likely means that those are a kaleidoscope of skulls. I really like the V in the back, and the overall style is lovely. The prize includes a pair of system layer blue stockings, not shown mostly due to no appliers but certainly optional. 

For something considerably less demure, be sure to find the mug containing prize #5, Java Try Me Bright Brown which comes with Slink high heels and earrings to match the revealing dress. This is definitely meant for a special occasion, but the fun part of that is that you get to decide or even create your own occasion :)

It is probably not much of a surprise that shades of brown are prominent in gifts from a store named Java, so this golden dress with the lacy pattern fits right in. It is simply named New Release Dove Hunt October, so it sounds like it was intended just for us as a special treat for visiting Free Dove and finding these mugs. You will find this in prize #6.

Prize #8 looks terrific both coming and going! Java Rock Girl is sure to appeal to your wild side, with a skull sporting a mohawk and sunglasses that say Rock and Roll on the lenses, and simple yet dramatic stripes on the back. It's remarkable how the same style dress can be so different, when you look at this dress and the one before.

Our final glimpse of the night is a beautiful dress from gift #9 named Chadwick, that seems to have been a Mothers Day gift based on the name. It is another lovely creation textured in lace over a creamy tan color, with a deep chocolatey brown ruffle across the bust. This also includes the bold bracelets shown on my right wrist, a very thoughtful touch as I always appreciate a good accessory.

Nail note of the night: same as last night, I chose to go with the gift from Ezmerelda's found at Free Dove so you can pick it up while there for the hunt. As it is an Omega HUD, you will need last month's Slink upgrade hands/feet which are compatible with the Omega installer to be able to use this beauty.

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend so far, magical magpie hugs all around!!

Entice at Free Dove

Hiya everyone! I did mention the last time I blogged a Free Dove Hunt that there are 3 designers offering hidden prizes this month, and tonight I am showing you a sampling of the 10 gifts from Entice. You will be looking for 10 small trick or treat bags in various Halloween colors, and as with all the Free Dove hunts there are plenty of nooks and crannies to check so I suggest floors, corners, behind boxes on counters, and those mannequins do love holding freebies :) So let's have a look at some of those prizes.


This is their Be My Baby Outfit in Gold, and you will find those cute matching Be My Baby Ballet flats in a separate prize. These aren't numbered, so your best bet is to use a new favorite trick of mine...derender (in the right click menu after hitting 'more' twice, then I choose temporary) each prize after you find it so you won't keep accidentally rediscovering it. If you teleport away and return, the temporary derendered items will too.


This intriguing dress is called Delilah in Orange Tiger, and I must admit my first thought was that The Flintstones never looked so sexy. Once I tried it on though, I was fascinated by the pattern that shows up in certain lights, Xan sees as a maze and I think of a motherboard for some reason. The dress is mesh in standard sizes, the fishnet tights are a system layer and optional of course.


I guess we have gone in a vastly different direction with this dress, considerably more subtle and quite lovely. This is the Love Song Dress in Yellow, and as you can see there is a slender mesh mini dress beneath a cloud of flexi skirts, three to be exact. There are the main flexi skirt, and two optional for left and right, but my photos of the one vs. three were barely any different so I am simply showing all of them on the right. You would do well to try them all on, twirl around a bit and see what fits your mood the best if you want to decide how to wear this beauty.


Lots of shades in the green family tonight, aren't there? We have another pretty mesh gown with optional flexi add-ons, this being their Lovesick Gown in Moss. This may be one of my favorites of all the mixes of mesh and flexi I've seen, since it is subtle and looks equally great with our without, so two amazing dresses in one, for free!


One last glimpse of green for the night, this one is something casual. Mandi Tunic Dress in Green comes in standard mesh sizes, and for this weather I am thinking a nice pair of tights or jeans would be a good addition. Either way this is a playful style that I am pleased to add to my wardrobe.

My nail note of the night is the same as the last time I blogged from a Free Dove hunt, an Omega HUD from Ezmerelda's called Glazed French. As long as you have the Omega compatible version of your Slink hands/feet,  you can visit the Omega store and join their group for free and buy the Slink Omega HUD for $1L and apply it to all your Slink parts. Then any Omega nail HUD will work on your nails just like this :) Without joining the Omega group, you can buy the HUD on the marketplace for $99L but honestly I preferred and greatly appreciated saving those lindens. I hadn't applied it to my flat feet until this morning as I found out the hard way, hehe, but as you can see I did so without a problem and my toes got a nice matching pedicure.

The weekend is here, yay! I am looking forward to my usual Saturday farmers market routine plus some Yoshi's Woolly World, a deceptively tricky game that is adorable and addictive. We all deserve smiles, things that make us happy, so that is what I wish for each of you this weekend (and always). Magical magpie hugs to all!!

GeMyles Halloween Hunt

Hiya everyone! If you are looking for a seasonal thrill that provides an opportunity to find great prizes, you need to head to GeMyles and explore their maze. It has plenty of creepy visual and sound effects to startle, but what you need to focus on is finding little pumpkins, mostly in groups on/near boxes. Many are for sale ($0L), some have a 'trick' image inside, but 9 contain wonderful gifts.

First we have the GeMyles Halloween Dress found in Hunt Item 1. The pattern and style are both playful and well suited for the season. The ruffles add pizzazz, don't they?

Hunt Item 2 contains this Halloween Spider Cardigan in several mesh sizes, along with Creased Skinny Jeans in 3 colors. From left to right you see black, faded, and slate in their system layers, but you also receive an applier for various mesh bodies. 

Here we have Hunt Item 4, GeMyles Vampire Tank Top off Shoulder which comes in standard mesh sizes, and those same Creased Skinny Jeans as in Hunt Item 2 are included since they match this top so well too, shown here in slate. The same great multi-applier HUD is included as well. 

Yet another terrific gift from GeMyles can be found in their Hunt Item 5, their Halloween Skull Braces Dress. This mesh cutie comes in standard sizes, and is such a perky style that I am definitely a fan.

If you need something a bit more fancy, this is the hunt prize from Telsiope's Couture which is simply named Halloween at Gem. You will find this in one of those tricky little pumpkins and it isn't numbered but by process of elimination it seems to be prize #8 of 9, and it comes in several mesh sizes. I just amused myself by realizing that the top is a bandage style dress...so you can say your costume is a formal mummy :)

My nail note of the night can be glimpsed in the inset of the last photo above, as it is one of the maze prizes too. Hunt Item 6 contains both Slink and Maitreya HUDs from GeMyles, Halloween Nails in a single french manicure style with a skull twist. Halloween sure does bring out a lot of creativity in our fine designers across the grid!

I hope you are all having a fun-filled day/evening, sending magical magpie hugs to each and every one of you!!
