A Shopping Carol Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have several free hunt prizes to show you, from A Shopping Carol Hunt. This special event features a new release from each participating store, and a hunt prize hiding inside a round golden bell on a red ribbon. I suggest getting the free HUD from the marketplace and use the notecard in that folder for hints, or you can use their website to travel from location to location. Either method will provide preview images so you know what you get to claim, and you can see the new releases ahead of time to plan your shopping :) I got some great ideas while exploring the hunt path, and picked up enough terrific free hunt gifts to ensure a well-dressed holiday season.

My first look of the evening is the hunt prize from Faida called Emma 2 Carol Ed. There are two versions included, with and without the adorable baby reindeer on the front, each in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, and Maitreya Petite bodies. The combination of pale grey knit sweater and plaid wrap skirt is a very stylish one. 

I combined two prizes for my next look, and was very pleased with the results :) The top is the Caroline Top from {Valentine}, which comes in Freya, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Maitreya, Maitreya Flat, Maitreya Petite and V-Tech versions. There is also a HUD included with 14 color choices for the buttons. My pants are from Slackr, their Meggins {Sorry Santa} SCHunt leggings. It looks like Santa had an accident and rear ended my rear end ;) The gift includes Legacy and Maitreya sizes, in a snowy white with the Santa image on the back. 

Next I kept the Slackr pants on, but changed tops to the clever Blue Flower prize called Xmas Emoji Top. It comes in sizes for Freya, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Maitreya, and Maitreya Petite, and has a wonderful menu you can access just by clicking the top. Please read the notecard for full details, but my summary is that there are 12 images to choose from for the front that can also be set to change randomly (you choose a time interval) and the shirt can be clicked by anyone and changed too :) You can set the privacy if you prefer so only you can change it, although I think it would be fun to see what holiday emoji other people like too. 

This beautiful dress is the prize from On A Lark called *OAL* Meryl ~ Sweetheart. It has a plunging neckline and intriguing twisted straps in the back, with fun tied belt creating a floppy bow. Find the bell and you can claim this in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. 

My final look this evening is the prize from [ILAYA] which is simply named after the hunt itself. The outfit consists of the cropped sweater and tube top each in Maitreya and Maitreya Petite sizes, with matching sweatpants sized for Maitreya too. The petite only applies to the chest size which is why the pants only need the one size. I really like this combination, so I am grateful that I found this hidden bell :)

It has been a hectic couple of days here, but things seem to be improving today. My grandmother had a medical issue (I am trying to avoid gross details) and wound up being taken to a hospital, but because of the virus spiking around here the three closest hospitals to her home were full. She finally wound up getting admitted to a fourth facility last night, and was released a few hours ago so she is safely home. They just kept her for observation, and she is on antibiotics for an infection we were unaware of that is probably in early stages. She is just glad to be home, and I am grateful to all the healthcare workers who treated her kindly when she was confused and worried. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
