Cranberry Isle

Nothing like the joys of a weekend getaway. Cranberry Isle, a 30-minute ferry ride from the Maine mid-coast, is known for it's quaint streets and sprawling summer clapboard houses, wooded paths and rugged shore. Bikes are the preferred means of travel here and any old rust bucket with a basket will do. Happily, the days have warmed enough to stash the winter wardrobe, but a sweater or jacket is still required. Visit before the summer people come! 

All clothing from the May round of Mens Department, which ends soon so don't miss it, plus two items from the upcoming Men Only Hunt, one of the year's best events for SL males (will show more from that hunt when it gets underway).

Richmond (Part 3)

This concludes my series with a few more random shots inside the Port Richmond skybox from [Deco] on sale at Mens Dept (see Pt. 1 and Pt.2). After the late night shown in the previous post, the morning was a bit bleary, but nothing that cake & presents couldn't fix...

The fashion here is a mix of Mens Dept, some hunt items and two nice group gifts from +HuHu+ (a relatively new store with some cool designs - check it out). For women, English Muffin has an excellent little sweater dress with boots gift that includes six skins. While this is meant as a group gift (and the group has a 100L fee), it is currently set to free (in the Teddy bear under the tree), so don't hesitate. Update: now 75l for non group members.

The [Deco] build is another great offering in a series that have been sold at Men Dept. It features an alcove fireplace, skylights and an open upper level. Overall it has a cool loft feel with plenty of light (see final pic below).
