The 2014 SL Home and Garden Expo opens to the public in 2 days. I had the chance to visit the nine sims today and there is just so much to see.  So many great designers/creators and the layout is very nice… easy to get around and easy to see everything.  The exhibitions are all welcoming with so much newness.  I think you will enjoy taking the time to visit the Expo when it opens on 9/16.  You will have a couple of weeks as doesn’t close until 9/28.  The SL Home and Garden Expo is a fundraising event for Relay For Life of Second Life.

I wanted to share some of that newness with you.  Searlait Nitschke, the creator/designer behind Roawenwood, has created some rather awesome looking items.  Roawenwood is one of the platinum sponsors of the Expo and is a long-time supporter of RFL events in SL.  Searlait often designs items just to benefit RFL and this year is no exception.  She has a set of shop buildings that are great and the single and double versions are on sale with 100% proceeds to RFL.  The third in the set that is also available is a grande shop version which is nearly three wide but one shop.  These would look great for village setting.  The shops come with a great cobblestone mesh path that can be used to create a courtyard or pathway.  I created a courtyard, open area with this cobblestone and placed Searlait’s fountain right in the center.  This set makes me want to open shops!
