One of the many creators that is participating in the Expo this year is KraftWork who is also an Emerald level Sponsor for the event.  KraftWork has created the Kozy_Fireplace set exclusively for the event.  It includes all the things – a fireplace, an advent calendar, art frames, candles, greeting cards and stockings!   You can set it up as you like but KraftWork also provides a linked version of all the parts.  So if you already have a fireplace mantle or would prefer to set the items on a shelf, you CAN!  The set is bright and cheery and will bring a very happy Christmas spirit into your virtual home!  I would actually love to have that advent calendar in my first life home!

.. remember the sound ..

In Second Life, we always have places where a formal gown is appropriate or even required.  This could be for a party, a night out dancing, a show or maybe just hanging out alone in the snow.  This beautiful gown from Fuzz Lennie over at Zanze would be a perfect addition to your closet.  The gown hugs your curves and I was able to wear it with my mesh body from Maitreya very easily.  The straps wrap over the shoulders to end in a beautiful detail – a metal scroll and a dropped gem!.  Not only will you look ravishing as you enter a room, your exit will be just as engaging!

There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you….
In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other;
only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches
when you can savor belonging to yourself.

Of winter’s lifeless world each tree
Now seems a perfect part;
Yet each one holds summer’s secret
Deep down within its heart.

.. secret’s safe with me ..

Winter is really an awesome time to take pics in Second Life. The clothing options are fun with the great textures and designs that we find across the grid.  And the holidays often bring other fun things like gifts and such.  Because of a group gift, I decided to pull my malt Sol out and snap some pics with him.

If you ever need me
Just tell me and I’ll be there
Cause I was built for you
Yes I was built to carry all your feelings

Cause I won’t let them know
I won’t let you go baby
I don’t care what your past is
I don’t need no answers
Just have faith in me

Don’t you know your secret’s safe with me
All your worries can be put to, can be put to sleep
Don’t you know your secret’s safe with me
All your worries can be put to, can be put to sleep

No need to step back
Don’t be scared, I got you, you know that
I’m here when you are sad
When all of your clouds turn black

Cause I won’t let them know
I won’t let you go baby
I don’t care what your past is
I don’t need no answers
Just have faith in me

Don’t you know your secret’s safe with me
All your worries can be put to, can be put to sleep
Don’t you know your secret’s safe with me
All your worries can be put to, can be put to sleep
