Hiya everyone! Tonight we explore one of my favorite seasonal hunts, the Kiyomizu Hunt which is celebrating Winter 2018. It starts at the Kiyomizu Mall, where many of the stores are participating so just look for the signs inside or outside of each. They have scripting that tells you what numbered cat is there (as usual, our hunt object is a ninja cat) and if there is more than one. Some stores will direct you to their mainstore, and the best way to see what you've found and where you still need to go is by clicking a floating ghost on one of the sidewalks. It will send you to a personalized website that will guide you. This is a really tricky hunt since there are no hints and the cats can be hidden just about anywhere, resized or even flattened and buried in a wall. The terrific prizes make it worth the effort though :)
My first look is our prize from ::*Ran*:: called 18-28 Fur coat KIYOMIZU Winter Treasure Hunt, a luxurious coat dress trimmed in fur with a very full skirt. It comes in sizes for standard, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, with a HUD that offers 4 textures. There are 3 solid colors (black, red, pink) in addition to the festive plaid shown, all with the same trim.
M*Motion has this fun padded jacket waiting inside their hidden kitty, with the shirt layer built in for easy wearing. It is included in sizes for Isis, Maitreya, and Physique, with U.S. ARMY on the back and a design on the front. Even the sleeves have designs, M*Motion on one and 2018-9 on the other. We can't fully read all the names on the t-shirt beneath, but they look like a list of cities in the USA since I see New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Nashville, etc.
Another ideal choice for these chilly evenings is the prize from **milky-way called *18-12 Maxi Sweater Black. Find the hidden cat and you can claim this in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, with long sleeves and a plush knit texture. Please excuse my thumbs, which apparently didn't feel like staying inside the clothing...
There are two kitties playing hide and seek at Shiorin's Mart, and they each have a wonderful gift for you when you find and click them. The gift on the left is their =CS= Ladies Hoodie Pullover XMAS104LGR, and on the right is =CS= Ladies Hoodie Pullover GASHO101RD. The patterns are Christmas and New Year's, loaded with cute details, and each gift includes sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique.
My final look tonight is the snuggly looking Happy Start Sweater from Magiclo. In sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, it features an adorable critter in a party hat on the front, and extra long sleeves. You could probably hide or remove your mesh hands if they are like mine and decide not to cooperate. I like the looseness of the rolled neck, enough to keep you warm without being overly confining. These tops tonight will go beautifully with whatever pants you choose to wear with them, such as the Delizio marketplace gift I am wearing.
It was a fairly typical Sunday here, but at least I got more rest before getting my usual weekly tasks accomplished. I can't believe 2019 is almost here! I hope that it provides a fresh start, endless possibilities, and good things for all of us. Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more gifts to share from the Shop & Hop event, which gives you the chance to explore 5 sims filled with discounted offers by 100 designers as well as gifts at every display. All of the gifts I am showing you tonight can be found on the Tinseled sim. I try to keep the various sims separate so you don't have to frantically search through 5 different crowded sims to try to find your favorite present, but I do suggest checking out each sim when you can. The event runs until the 4th of January, so several days remain to enjoy it.
This sim had a lot of tops as gifts, so I am wearing my favorite Marketplace freebie of jeans by Delizio (several colors included, system layers/Maitreya appliers/Omega appliers) with them, starting with the RIOT Nora Oversized Sweater. There is also a mens version included called Nico, and Nora comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. There is even a color HUD provided for both, 4 colors that all have the snowflake knit pattern on them. Please excuse the way my hands have decided to poke through the very long sleeves, which come past the fingertips.
I am still celebrating Christmas, especially in this gift from {ViSion} called Lena Christmas Top. It comes in two versions, with and without the white knit layer beneath, both in sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, and Hourglass mesh bodies. I appreciate having the choice of being on the flirty side or the cozy side.
I got quite a chuckle out of our gift from VINYL, which is called 3AM Knotted Tee. It is included in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, and reads "Dear Santa, I'm sorry for what I said before I had my coffee". Even if you don't indulge in caffeine, you probably have some sort of ritual when you wake up that you can sympathize with the stress if it is disrupted. I do not wake up instantly perky and cheerful, so I do occasionally need to apologize for things I say (or the looks I give!) when bothered too soon after waking ;)
There are eye-catching dresses too among the many gifts found on this sim, such as the duo from ALTAIR called Sukebe Knit New Years. There are gold and silver versions included, each in a Maitreya size, with a daringly low cut rear view. These are the most sparkly looking knits imaginable, and are suitable for a celebration any time of year.
My final look of the evening is by Valentina E., their lovely Isa Dress Olive. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, with a chic square neckline and delicate spaghetti straps. This is one of those colors that tends to be flattering to all, but especially for gingers I think :)
I managed to get some sleep eventually, then got a burst of energy and took these photos (and corresponding notes), and now I'm starting to feel worn out again. It will be nice to be able to stay home and rest tomorrow. I hope you are all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight we have some exploring to do, at a 5-sim shopping extravaganza called Shop & Hop. There are 100 designers taking part, and all are offering deep discounts on special selections from their stores as well as a free gift for all visitors. No group is required, just buy for $0L and you can claim all these generous treats. All of the looks tonight are from the Golden sim, just one of the five that are part of this fun event.
My first look is the whimsical gift from Bella Moda called Costume della Renna Reindeer Outfit. It starts with the dress, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and classic Small, Medium, and Large. Then we get to accessorize, with a choker and matching bracelets, antlers, blinking red nose, and a fuzzy Bento-animated tail with a HUD to turn the movement off and on. The matching boots are even provided, in Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and resize versions to suit any feet. All this for free, it is truly a thoughtful gift.
Our gift from Evani is their Emma pullover and jeans, which each come in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. There is even a HUD included with various texture choices for the ribbons in the back, 9 velvet and 9 taffeta. This is a great look for when you want to feel relaxed but chic, and either piece can be paired with other wardrobe items if you're feeling creative.
I left the Evani jeans gift on to show you this super fun gift from Caboodle, their Bunny Hoodie - Holo. It includes the shiny shirt in sizes for Maitreya and Hourglass, with the same sized additions for the ears. This way you can decide if you're in the mood to wear it with or without the hood and dangling ears. The shimmery texture means you can dress it up or down, and wear it with just about anything that your imagination can come up with.
I am definitely in the mood for relaxing this weekend, so the gift from OSMIA called Night Party T-shirt & Panties is a perfect choice for me. There are pink and blue versions of both the shirt and panties, with the shirt having a polka dot variety as well as the solid. All are in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizes, and I love the paw prints on each top! The panties have a paw print on the rear as well, and read "yes, daddy" on the front beneath a teeny tiny bow. I felt like mixing up the colors, but you can certainly choose to go all pink or all blue. I'm ready to snuggle with an SL furry friend!
Some of the designers were moved by the seasonal spirit to put out more than one gift, as was the case with {le fil casse}. They have their Boardwalk Summer Dress as seen on the left as one of their gifts for us, in sizes for Maitreya and Hourglass, with a flirty short hem and wide V neck that will frame your favorite necklace beautifully. On the right I am enjoying their Hampton Tarte Romper, in a Maitreya size with 3 color combos: blue-blue, blue-white (shown), and blue-black. The boy leg style and large flower on the attached belt make this feel delightfully retro, like I should be lounging at an exclusive resort while listening to swing music and sipping a mint julep. Why yes, my imagination did run away with me there for a second...
Whew, what a day! I had to follow up with the eye doctor about my vitreous detachment, and this was the 3rd of the three docs at this particular practice that I've been examined by now, simply by virtue of timing and vacations. So she was my least favorite of the trio, and I don't feel like she did nearly as thorough of a job checking my eye as the other two, but I don't need to go back for a few months now so it must be progressing well enough. My pupil is still dilated (almost 12 hours later) and it's hard to see clearly, so please excuse any typos. I'm not certain if I will be able to blog tomorrow or not, thanks to a continuing busy schedule, but we'll see what happens. This one almost didn't happen because of a prolonged visit with my parents, and I feel like I'm running on empty. I hope all of you have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight we go fishing for the newest Fish 4 This set at Sn@tch, which is named Special Snowflake. It consists of 21 pieces you can catch with your 7 Seas fishing rod (purchase one there if you don't already have it, or on the marketplace for easy gift giving) plus a bonus snowball thrower that isn't numbered for a total of 22. There are 8 snuggly looking pastel sweaters, each in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. You will also find 8 pairs of leggings, matching colors in system layers and an Omega applier, among the prizes in this set. There is also a set of boots in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink sizes, and a pair of earmuffs that fit perfectly over the hair prize which comes in 4 different colors. Each tone is bagged with 2 sizes to choose from. There is even makeup to catch, a system layer and an Omega applier for this too. One tip I don't think I've ever mentioned with the fishing but I hope helps is that you can click the rod for the menu, and use it to automatically refuse the 7 Seas fish so you'll only receive the "custom items" that are the Sn@tch prizes. I usually do remember to mention that the pieces are transferable so you can bring friends and swap your duplicates to complete the set faster, and I always have Xan to thank because he fishes with me and gives me anything he catches that I don't already have. Good company and a lovely fishing set, what more could we ask for?
Let's start from the top here, with the Sn@tch Phoebe Hair in White. The style is a partial updo with thick bangs and long layers, and this particular color works so well with the wintry theme of the fishing set. On the left I'm wearing the Sn@tch Fuzzy Sweater in Pink, and on the right you can see it in Violet, two of the 8 colors you can catch. That texture is fantastic, and I love all the different colors.
Here I have changed into the Ash Blonde shade of the Phoebe hair, and the White version of the Fuzzy Sweater. I also added the Sn@tch Pastel Solid Tights in Violet, using the Omega applier that holds all 8 colors. For the system layers, there are 2 bags to catch and unpack that contain all 8 shades in total.
This hair shade is the Red variety of our Phoebe style, and it is a favorite of mine since it is my usual RL and SL preferred color. I also get to show you two more choices for our sweater and leggings: Seafoam for each on the left, Peach on the right in both. I even added our Sn@tch Isabelle Boots which come in white, to match everything wonderfully. This is the Maitreya size to suit my legs, so I just hid my Slink feet for now.
This charming hue is Jade, seen on both the sweater and the leggings. Just because I am pairing these with their exact match doesn't mean you have to, you can certainly mix things up and experiment with these delicate tints. I also added the Sn@tch Snowflake Earmuffs, which are a snowy white to match the boots as well as the theme.
For my final look, I am enjoying the Phoebe Hair in Black, the Fuzzy Sweater in Blue, and the Pastel Solid Tights in White. I have also applied the Sn@tch Snowflake Makeup from the Omega applier, and it has added the flushed cheeks, creamy lipstick, and even a snowflake beneath my right eye. It certainly does appear that I've been playing out in the winter air, doesn't it? Most of my body is warm, with the toasty earmuffs and plush sweater topping those tights and boots. It reminds me of playing in the snow as a teen, snowball fights with the neighborhood kids that could get a little bit flirty if someone got snow down their crush's shirt. I just got lost in memories for a moment there!
It was a busy, chilly day that included two appointments for me, so I am a drowsy magpie tonight. Tomorrow I have another appointment, an errand, and dinner with the family, so plenty on my plate again. I'd better try to get some rest sooner or later, huh? At the chiropractor I was in a dark room on a heating pad and it was so soothing, I'm surprised I didn't doze off. It's hard to believe the year is almost at an end, but honestly I am ready for a fresh start. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight we will take a look at more selections from the Wash Cart Sale, which is still going strong until the 2nd of January, bringing you dozens of carts filled with $10L items and a special $50L offer per cart. Our other destination tonight is the SWANK event, where you have until the end of the month to claim many free gifts for the holiday season. There are gift boxes of various colors, shapes, and sizes, all set for $0L and scattered around the snowy land. I found the ones I'll be sharing tonight in the landing area, near the Womens department since they are female clothing. There are gifts of home decor as well, and lots to do at the event including some very tempting gachas.
First we see some wonderful choices from the Moondust cart at The Wash, which I paired up but you can wear with whatever you wish. On the left I am wearing their Vixen Sweater and Starr Skirt in Frost, while on the right is the Noel Sweatshirt and Starr Skirt in Snow. They all include sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, and are all Wash Cart Sale exclusives. They are also just $10L each, so we can pick up several without hurting a post-holiday budget ;) You can visit the Moondust mainstore by clicking here, and the cart's direct link is in my ending credits as usual.
Moonlitecat Creations has several exciting versions of this beautiful Heather Harness Gown waiting for you on their cart, so I randomly selected the Green 1 and the Pink 2 to display for you in this photo. The colors are all contrasted by black, giving these an edgy beauty that is also evident in the dark harness and straps. It is elegance without being girlie, and just $10L each for a bevy of choices. You will find the link to their mainstore by clicking here, and the cart's direct location is in the ending credits.
Time to head over to SWANK, where I found this lovely gown hiding in the snow and decided it deserved a nice warm home in my inventory ;) It is the Sascha's Designs gift called SAS - Linde Baroque Moss Gown, and it starts with a mesh gown in a wide range of sizes: fitmesh S, M, L, Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. It also includes a boob ruffle and a fluffer skirt, both adjustable flexi for fullness and movement.
Another gift box holds this striking WILD Fashion & Beauty "Christmas Gift" SWANK in fitmesh standard sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. I was very drawn to the sequin texture and the vibrant coloring.
My final look of the evening is the gift from LUXE Paris called Poinsettia Dress, and it is a delightful mix of pink and red with a pattern of seasonal flowers on the skirt overlay. It includes standard mesh sizes along with Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. That deep V in the back makes for a real focal point of an all-over terrific look.
I hope you are all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some more treats from the Wash Cart Sale to show you, with just over a week left to take advantage of the wonderful bargains found there. Several dozen carts to browse with items for $10L or a special selection for $50L per cart, and a few gifts here and there to celebrate the holidays. I also have more of the Disgruntled Elf Hunt prizes to share, since you know by now that I love a good gridwide hunt :) You'll be searching for gift boxes in assorted colors, based on the hints found on the website or at the signs in each store, most of which have a sample box set up as a hint giver on touch. I am also thrilled about a new VIP group gift for Truth Hair, very appropriately named Joy.
Our first stop is the Baci cart at The Wash, on which you will find several styles such as the Rio Roses I'm wearing above on the left, and Xmas Wish Glitter on the right. There are other versions of each of these too, so you can choose whatever colors and textures suit your personal tastes. Rio comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, while Xmas Wish comes in the same sizes but with the addition of the Santa hat and a HUD that offers 80 different color choices for it. You can have fun and tint your hat however you wish. These are each a mere $10L, so you can pick up both and still have leftover lindens to splurge on other selections. The link for the Baci mainstore can be found here, and the ending credits whisks you directly to their cart.
Mishmash Fusion has several seasonal offerings waiting for you on their cart, like the lovely ~*MF*~ Feeling Elvish Dress in Green/Red shown on the left, and ~*MF*~ Warm Ways Sweater and Skirt - Blue I'm looking cozy in on the right above. They each have other colors available on their cart too, all for $10L each. The Feeling Elvish dress includes standard mesh sizes plus Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions, while the Warm Ways outfit comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. You can visit the Mishmash Fusion mainstore by clicking here, and the ending credits has your limo directly to their cart at The Wash.
This look combines two Disgruntled Elf Hunt prizes, starting with the top from Ambient Fashion called DEH Bandara Corset. It includes standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. The golden rivets and maroon belt really caught my eye. I am wearing it here with the prize from Razzles called Leggings-Christmas 01, which you will find in system layers along with an applier for Slink, Belleza, Maitreya, and Omega. Just find those hidden gift boxes and these are both yours for free.
The prize at MadCatCreations is a flirty one, a backless sweater in bright green that has been dusted with intricate snowflakes. It comes in sizes for Eve Pulpy, Eve Slim, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. This revealing look is not for the faint of heart, LOL, and not suitable for every venue you might visit in any given day, but you can wear it to a mature/adult rated location or try layering clothing beneath it for a bit of modesty.
My final look of the evening is the Christmas Elf outfit from Dallas MacKenzie. The top and skirt are each provided in standard mesh sizes plus eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP versions. There is also a HUD included that lets you change the outfit, trim, and ribbon colors between red or black. They have such a fun jester feel when you contrast them as I have above, or you can give it a more subtle quality by going all red or all black.
Hair note of the night: as I mentioned in the beginning, this is the newest VIP group gift for Truth Hair, the gorgeous Joy style. It comes with a full fatpack of color HUDs, and there is a stylist HUD that lets you wear it up or down in the back, and change each side of the bangs to tucked behind the ear or flowing down and curled. The headband I was wearing in the first couple of photos is included, and there's an accessory HUD for coloring it to match your personal preferences or your outfit. I really love this gift, and it brightened my Christmas as much as anything I received in RL :) The group is $350L to join, but there are gifts each month and contests to win new releases or store credit very frequently.
My Christmas Eve did not go as planned, thanks to my health, so I did not go to my grandmother's house like I was supposed to. I feel guilty and disappointed in myself, but I'm relieved that I was able to send the food I made with my parents for everyone to enjoy. I hope to go visit her this weekend so I don't completely miss seeing her this holiday season. I am doing okay today, and have one day to relax and recuperate before several busy days in a row attack me ;) I am glad to be able to blog tonight, and hope you're all having a wonderful evening. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight's post brings glad tidings, well it certainly brings news of wonderful bargains from The Wash Cart Sale and their Winter Wonderland round :) You have over a week left to visit, and I still have plenty of lovely $10L or $50L specials to show you from the dozens of carts there. I also have more Disgruntled Elf Hunt prizes to share, not just because it is a holiday about sharing but because they are fantastic and free when you find the hidden gift boxes at each store. Their website will help you with hints, landmarks, and information on if the prizes are male, female, unisex, or if there are multiple boxes to find at a particular stop. The hunt runs until the end of the month, so just about a week remaining.
My first look this evening features two of the selections from the -CroM- cart at The Wash, their Coryna - Christmas on the left and Shelena - Christmas on the right. Coryna comes in standard mesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, with a HUD that offers 2 color choices (the one not shown is red). The snowflakes and the color options are nods to the holiday, and the bare shoulders give a playful feeling. Shelena is a cropped hoodie with a familiar snowman face peeking from the shirt layered beneath, included in fitmesh standard sizes as well as Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. These are both $10L each and are just two of the terrific choices you can pick from on their cart, found at the link in my ending credits, and you can visit the -CroM- mainstore by clicking here.
Our next stop at The Wash is the Sweet Willows cart, for several cozy offers and even free gifts. These pajamas are the (SW) Gingerbread PJ's Onesie on the left, (SW) Plum Plaid PJ's Onesie on the right, each in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, all with those peekaboo toes. There are other versions available too, just $10L each, and the gifts I mentioned include the My Little Reindeer who is seated on my head on the left, plus 3 candy stick mouthies like the one I'm enjoying on the right. Those are like candy canes without the curved part, in red/green/white stripes, red/white, and green/white. They are thoughtful gifts to help you celebrate Christmas, although I'm loving that reindeer too much to stow him away right away ;) The link to visit the Sweet Willows mainstore can be found here, and your limo directly to their cart is in the ending credits.
Next we have some hunt prizes, starting with the Applique` Chic outfit DEH Jolly Sweater & Leggings. DEH stands for Disgruntled Elf Hunt, and the gift box you will find there contains the sweater and two pairs of leggings- solid and patterned as shown above. The sweater comes in sizes for Small, Medium, Large, Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous, while the leggings are sized for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, and 5 classic sizes. The patterned leggings have the same tiny dots as the sweater, and the solid carry over that lovely blue background shade.
Cats n' Kittens Boutique has a special gift for us in their gift box called Happy Holidays Dress, and as you can see it has a little bonus as well. The flirty dress comes in sizes for standard, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, and the festive Santa hat is included too. The green bows on each gathered hip and the red bow on the front of the hat's trim caught my eye as being very complementary.
My final look of the evening is one of two prizes found at Fukin Cute, and the store name could easily describe this FC Aurora Sweater Red. It comes in sizes for standard, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. How fun is that ombre knit, and the snowflake-adorned lace? The other gift box contains a treat for the guys, so bring your favorite male avatar wearers and help them find their present too. My jeans in this photo and my first one this evening are my favorite Marketplace gift from Delizio, seen here in blue but they come in several different colors as system layers, Maitreya appliers, and Omega appliers too.
The cooking for Christmas Eve is done, the shopping for people I'll see in the next two days is complete and wrapped and ready to go...I am feeling festive and excited, yet a bit anxious about the traveling and a few family details. Holidays tend to have good and bad aspects, and all we can really do is try to focus on the pleasant parts I suppose :) I will be spending all of tomorrow day/evening with family, as well as Christmas Day, so I will not be blogging the next couple of days but would love to take this time to wish all of you who celebrate it a fantastic Christmas. It means the world to me to have this opportunity to blog and share things with my fellow Second Lifers, and I hope you all have a very happy holiday no matter what you celebrate...Yule, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or simply another week of this wild life we all share :) Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
