Shop & Hop Gilded

 

This is a totally impromptu blog post about this month's Halloween Shop & Hop. I only planned to pick up the Sleeping Cat, a free gift from Jian at the Gilded Sim, but since I was there, I scouted the Gilded Sim for other free gifts.

Jian Sleeping Kitty Pillow Gift

Magik Pumpkin from [777]Motors

<Magic Party> Halloween - Abracadabra Witch Cake

A closer look at the awesome gifts:

You get a piece of cake on a plate on touching the cake. You also get a fork but Moon is holding the Starry Soda gift from Hangry in the other hand.

And look at those cute little pumpkin rings from Kungler, Payton ring, Halloween addition.

And those adorable Chesnut Companions from Sway's.

On Moon's chest is a purple tattoo from Stardust.

The purple Fluorescence skirt is the gift from Eliavah.

There were 2 free shoes on Gilded, one from Lindy and one from -KC-. I chose to wear the Nellie Wedges from -KC-. It has a 40 color Hud with lots of options and after Halloween, you can change those skull prints. A keeper! And there's the sleeping kitty, dead to the world!

A close look at the Chesnut Companion. ADORABLE!

Thank you for all the freebies! Teleport to Gilded.

Other than the houses... the shape tweaking

When the creative ideas run thin in SL, I would go exploring or start tweaking with my avatar's shape and these are some of the EvoX shapes I thought was good enough for the Marketplace.

These are heads for Fleur3.1, Ryn3.1, Erin3.1 and Lilly3.1. I haven't gotten around to Lake3.1 because that's my personal shape, but I will get to it! I only do the faces, so the bodies are my personal shape and if you like it, all the better. They are slim and medium size.

Please check them out on the Marketplace under Avatar Components. Each shape is 50L. There is no demo.

Gardening is like a jigsaw puzzle

 Other than building houses, I also love lanscaping on a small scale because my parcel is small.

Above is my Country Garden collection. I absolutely love the colourful flowers combinations and I can just imagine walking along their path.

Next is my Stone Border Series which is slightly formal but not really because it's also a riot of colours!

This is my Tropical Jungle Collection where you'd find the dense trees and green foliages with a smattering of colourful plants.

Above is before I even thought of making a series or collection, but when that creative juices start flowing, I knew that I had to have packs. The middle picture is a tropical waterfall for a 1024 parcel and that project started the creation of all the other series.

Please check them out on the Marketplace under Home and Garden.

Judd Modern Rustic Log Cabin

 

This little cabin is my modern version of the log cabin. I wanted to make it to have the most view and so I turned most of the walls into 'windows'. The upstairs open spaced bedroom still has privacy where there is a small window where the bed is placed.

The Judd is only 35 land impact and has a base area of 16x15. It would fit a 512 parcel but it would look better on a 1024 parcel where you can add trees around it.

I have also included a few pine trees and ferns. The pine trees are sculpt so you can stretch it to a big size tree and it would still remain 2 prims. I have also included a base island just in case yours is a water parcel or you want to put the house up in the sky.

The house is partial mesh, copy, mod and no transfer. I have included a rezzer version for the house for easy positioning. The house is UNFURNISHED. The furnitures in these pictures are from Bazar.

Judd Modern Rustic Log Cabin is available for 200L on the Marketplace.

Demo is available at Simple Things.

MaryJane Tudor Cottage

 

MaryJane Tudor Cottage is a cute little brick and timber house. It's been 'renovated' to appear slightly modern with the louvred windows so this house has the best view. It is 14x14 and could fit into a 512 parcel(16x32) but would look better on a 1024 parcel(32x32).

The living area is cozy and snugly. You can, of course, turn this into the entrance area and move the living area further in.

The kitchen and dining area is spacious.

The bedroom attic.

MaryJane Tudor Cottage has a base area of 14x14 and is 56 land impact. It is copy, mod, no transfer and partial mesh. It is UNFURNISHED. Furnitures are from Bazar. I have included the chimney and accessories(6LI) but you may prefer to use your own. I have also included the trees and plants and the island base(24x25) if you need it for a water parcel or sky base. I have also included a rezzer box for easy positioning.

MaryJane Tudor Cottage is available for 300L on the Marketplace.

Demo is available at Simple Things.

Adam Log Cabin

 

Adam Log Cabin is another home for the small parcel owner. The cabin is 13x14 and will fit a 512 parcel(16x32) but would look better on a 1024 plot(32x32).

This cabin has large viewing windows. The living area is spacious enough to have a fireplace, the sofa and armchairs, and even the decorative cabinets as can be seen in the pictures.

The kitchen and dining are combined with views on both sides and from this room, there is the verandah for outside meals and outdoor viewing. I made the kitchen/dining area big enough to fit in the big kitchen cabinet as can be seen in the pictures.

The bedroom attic is spacious with large windows.

Adam Log Cabin is 59 land impact. I have added optional chimney and fireplace accessories if you don't have one. I have also included optional pine trees and fern, and optional island base if your parcel is water base or if you want to put this cabin up in the sky and you don't have your own.

Adam Log Cabin is copy, mod, no transfer and partial mesh. It is UNFURNISHED. Furnitures are from Bazar, Noctis and LIsp.

Adam Log Cabin is now available for 300L on the Marketplace.

Demo is available at Simple Things.

Ridley Log Cabin

 

Ridley Log Cabin is a rustic double-storey home for the small parcel owners. It can fit the 512 parcel(16x32) snugly but would be better for a 1024 parcel(32x32)

Ridley Log Cabin is 51 land impact and has a base of 13x15. It has an open space living and kitchen/dining area, but spacious enough if you like the big kitchen as shown in the picture. I intended to have the optional fireplace in the living area for coziness, but you are free to have other ideas. It also has a small front porch/verandah.

Upstairs, is open and spacious. The windows and shutters are scripted to open and close.The optional fireplace and chimney with accessories is 6 land impact and is inside the folder if you want to use them.

I have also added optional landscaping for a 32x32 area. You can of course, use the plants and trees individually or just not use them at all!

The landscaping is 19L linked, but I have added individual pine trees and ferns and island base. I find the island base useful if I want to make a skybox home for the log cabin. You can also use the island base if you have a water parcel and no land.

Ridley Log Cabin is copy, mod, no transfer and partial mesh. The cabin is available for 300L on the Marketplace.
