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!

This item will be sold in a 100% vendor so that the entire purchase price of $250.00 will go to Relay For Life of Second Life.

.. a day at the beach ..

/ Sunshine / Leave a comment

Summer is here.  Temperatures in much of the world went from overly cool to steamy hot in just days.  Many places went from winter right in to summer!  When the temperatures rise and we have a few days… are you like so many, and head to the nearest body of water  – beach or not?

Sometimes when you sit at the beach, the best part is watching what is going on around you… right?  So when an elephant and its baby walk by or a dog flies a kite… it’s just all in “a day at the beach”.

“We are tied to the ocean.
And when we go back to the sea,
whether it is to sail or to watch –
we are going back from whence we came.”
                                                     ~ J. F. Kennedy

A day comes in the springtime
When Earth puts forth her powers,
Casts off the bonds of winter
And lights him hence with flowers…

the Farmer, the Nature-teacher, the Naturalist, April 1902

Is wholesome even for the King.
