Designer Showcase for the Guys. His story...

Took the Christmas tree down. Time to rearrange the cabin. What should I put in the window box?
Lots of light here even in the dead of winter.
If I put the table over here, I could read my morning paper by the sun's light. DONE!
Who could that be knocking at the door?
(See Her story...)

Prism has warm and comfortable casual sets for men @ Designer Showcase. Merlin offers a heather knit sweater and leather pants or flannel plaid and leather. Great textures and easy fit!

Baby, it's cold outside! Her story...

You know how it is... you slip on your favorite sweater thinking you'll just run out and get the paper off the porch, so no need to put on too much... the door blows shut and locks behind you!
I wonder if that cute guy next door knows a locksmith? (See His story...)

Good thing I had this cute sweater and matching earmuffs available @ Designer Showcase! The really nice thing about this set is that it is festive enough for the holidays, but the colors in the hud will also carry you through the rest of the winter. This has become my favorite sweater; I wear it all the time!

The outfit comes from Solstice. You'll get to explore the entire sim in your search to compete this look.
The dress is in the midsection of shops. The scarf is a gacha item, so you'll need to go down the hill and across the bridge to the gacha area to find it. It's worth the trip because the scenery is beautiful and you get to shop and play gachas along the way. Triple Win!

Weekend of December 9

Winter is well and fully descended on much of SL. As the year draws towards an end, our thoughts turn toward friends, family and... hunting! (You thought I was going to say "shopping", didn't you?)

Here are three hunts that I personally like this month.
I've also given you the SLURL for my favorite hunt starting point, Hunt Headquarters.
Click on any of the Hunt posters on the wall for particulars and the starting point of any hunt that sounds interesting to you. Most hunt items are free or less than L$10, so you can have fun, explore some amazing winter builds, wander around new shops and get some nice holiday items without breaking the bank.

Candy Cane Hunt 8 Dec1-25
Hints: http://kastlerockevents.blogspot.com/
72 stores participating.
Hunt prizes for both male and female.

Nightmare Before Xmas Maze Hunt Dec 1-31
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife//233/162/29
24 stores participating.
Hunt prizes for both male and female.

Peace on Earth Hunt Dec 1- Jan 9
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Tranquility/123/91/3002
136 stores, many with multiple hunt items.
This is the classic SL hunt. In its 9th year, those involved know how to organize a hunt and have consistently nice gifts. Take the LM to the POE sim, join the help group and pick up the hint list.

Hunt Headquarters http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Michigan%20Bay/68/152/25

Gown and pose are hunt prizes from NBX

Gown ~ Emberotics Cowl Top Toga [5 colors / Classic, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink] *
