Christmas Expo: True North Designs, Cozy Chat Corner set

True North Designs has this "wintery but not too Christmas-y" Cozy Chat corner set at the Christmas Expo:

To me, this would work well in Victorian/Edwardian/old-timey decorated houses, with it's gold and burgundy and rich browns.  It comes with everything pictured. Divan, table, teapot with rolls, lamp, carpet.

LI is only 10 total, 15 prims by the old system. The Teddy bear carpet is the most "Christmas-y" part of the set, but as shown it's separate. Cost is 350L$ which is a fair price for this set, considering some divans would cost that alone.  Well worth picking it up, even if you don't use it all together.  Without the carpet, it would even work well as a boudoir set.  Heck, I'd have probably picked it up for just the screen and hexagon table.  Had a table like that in RL a few years back, lost it in a flood sad to say.

Chrismas Expo: Wood Works, Away in a Manger set

If you're a person of a certain age, then your family might have had a set like this one from Wood Works:

A simple console table (console tables are designed to be put against a wall), that you put decorations on this time of year.  My family had a table like this when I was young, it had our record player on it, and it was large enough for the player and decorations.  It wasn't as tall as this one and was black, but was very similar.  This set comes with all seen here, including the wreath and the doily, which is a separate object so you can use it under other things.  The star on the manger twinkles and the candle lights at a touch.  The set is Mesh, and 12LI, which isn't bad at all.  and when the Holiday is over, you can remove the manger and wreath and leave the table, candle, and rug out.  Can't beat a table like this for versatility.

Acquire at Wood Works at the Expo 1 region

As an aside, our record player when I was a child looked like the one in this blog post

The Cheesecake for a New Year

Sometimes it seems like I know a lot of the neo-burlesque crowd in SL...especially the redheads.  Yes I know, but I can't help it.

These are the cheescake pictures I took at my new house.  Yes, I do have a house besides the Linden Home I use for my studio.  No, you're not going to find out where it is, that would be telling, unless you are one of my close personal friends.  And no, it's not at my parcel in Caledon, that's a park.

I still have a weakness for the  Luxuria  "Cherie" set  I found my self a nice dress form on marketplace from Haute House for L$150

Got this nice shot with the window behind me leaning on my old Luth Mein Herr chair.  The hat is the Black Arts "Laima" the gloves are also from the Black Arts, they come with the "Laima" dress.  Hair is Amacci "Eclaire"  "Kennedy" pearl set by Caroline Apollo

This one shows off the depth of field effect on my Dutchie  "Gustavian" Wardrober

I decided to see if I could get a good shot through the window as if some paparazzi caught me posing inside. Not great, but not bad either.

Just relaxing on my "Gustavian" Dutchie bed... yes, its the "Sapphic" version if you get my meaning, not that I'm planning on getting any use out of it other than pictures and it looking pretty.  While Dutchie furniture is reasonably priced and attractive...by my standards...the bed was a bit "dear.  As far as I could tell this is the only Dutchie bed that comes in a "Sapphic" version. Which is a little bit bad, I actually liked the brass bed slightly better.  Oh well, beggars can't be choosers and at least there was a "Sapphic" option available, that was a nice thing.
