Bo's Bargains - Sunday 28 April 2019


This week I am featuring a great find from Fifty Linden Friday, 19 April, 2019 from Consignment. Judie recommended I have a look – which I did mainly for the kitchen set, but at the landing the Dust Bunny bicycle caught my eye immediately for the happy colors! And I knew it was a must have for my new suburban house.
Meantime, I didn’t have time to spend online with exception of the occasional popping on, and it wasn’t until a few days ago that I finally opened the bicycle with full expectation that it was décor only. BUT I was pleasantly surprised to find that there is also a ride-able version. Later that same day I see that Isabelle Cheren found this wonderful bicycle and did a brilliant tour of the new Linden traditional neighborhoods on her vlog whilst riding this same adorable Dust Bunny Bicycle!

GGC 110 American Bazaar


Marketplace_banner

I found this store a few weeks ago when i was reading group notices.
 I have been back and checked a few times to see if another gift appeared but always just this one top. 
On a final inspection this week i found that not only the gift had gone but the store too.
With a quick look through notices i found the new store and she is obviously in the middle of moving.
I have sent a note card to ask if this gift is still available , or if a new gift is coming out. 
To date i have had no reply. 
I will update this page if i get any new information.

Despite the 'fail' in the fact that this isn't a Group Gift Challenge as the gift doesn't exist (sorry), there are some really cute things in the store and it's worth a visit. I'm sure things will sort out after the shop move has been completed.

An Easter hunt ended up as a shopping trip.


Moz_banner_small

This has always been a favourite store of Judie's and Bo's because Mo really takes time to look after her customers and keep in touch, and regularly gives out gift cards and there are new items in the store on a regular basis. Also great customer service.
The group is still free to join (atm) and if you wear your group tag you get a discount on the items you buy.
All the items are unique to MOZ Designs and they are really well made, casual and classic and the sort of thing that a lot of us wear in RL.
I decided to do the Easter Egg hunt one afternoon and some of the eggs had vouchers in as prizes and some had cloths.
So a simple hunt turned into a shopping trip as i fell in love with a leisure outfit that was new since i last shopped there and of course what better time than to shop with a handful of fresh vouchers.

"✿ ()()
  (*-*) MOZ Ɛαstєг EGG hunt is on!!  
❀(")(")
 Free group & gifts on table! NEW ZOYA ankle boots!
❀ There are a total of 24 Eggs or Egg Clusters with several items inside. ✿ You may receive a clothing item, a gift card (different increments packaged) or a fun poofing Easter Chick.
❀ Each egg can only be touched once by each avi and there are a few decoys... don't give up! "

GGC 109 GuiliaDesign


Logo-giulia-1

I found this store when i was reading through my Group Gift notices.
 It has a small selection of Gifts and a Store GG that changes occasionally. 
 There are 3 LL chairs and 2 MM boards. One of which gives you a 150L$ gift card which Judie has won twice.
As you walk in the main door you are greeted by a MM board and a gift.
It's a great store for new residents as a lot of it is still classic.
I had 2 outfits that i had deleted and re delivered for the purpose of the blog. I had them when i first started out and only classic was available. The pictures are below. I can fit them on Judies Maitreya body and they work ok with a bit of alpharing ( a new word i have just invented).

A gift from THE THIRD LIFE Group

Bo's Bargains... erm... coffee time!

Lauren's shop and flat… for the moment I am finished decorating the shop for Lauren located at The Whale/Sinchester. The shop is not set up to sell anything for the time being. Instead, it is set up as a studio to inspire a 100 Day Challenge - 10 minutes per day minimum for creativity or learning something new.

Thanks Judie for stopping by (first image on left of collage) and giving some input! ❤

Pending links and set item details...

GGC 108 BEYOND



I found this store when i was camming round at SCANDALIZE and waiting for the LL boards to change. The store is based on the same sim.
You can use Scandalize Gift Cards at BEYOND.  
The look of the outfits and templates they use are very similar, but this is a bit cheaper and no group join fee. The owner of BEYOND is the partner of the owner of Scandalize  and all the stores seem linked in some way. It's a good idea because you can still get 'the look' but for less money.
 There where only 2 gifts available when i first visited and then one arrived for International Woman's day on March 8th. Judie was wearing a gift outfit from Scandalize at the time and the skirt was obviously from the same template , but the textures are very nicely done. I did a last check of the store for details and updates a week before this is published and they have released a Spring Group Gift which is identical to the Womans day gift, it's just using different textures.
 BEYOND has stalls at a lot of the Events such as 'Vanity' and 'Tres Chic'.
 Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a marketplace site for this store.

 All the gifts shown here are still available in the store.

This top contains sizes for
Belleza Freya / Isis
Maitreya
Slink Hourglass

Victoria Is Wearing(Maitreya) 
Outfit:-Skirt : Laura from Beyond (The skirt from the March women's day gift)

Deirdre used Hourglass to take a picture from the back and Isis for the sides and front.. Both sizes didn't fit well of course because she wears the Slink Physique body, but they were the best option as there wasn't a size for Slink Physique.

Bo's ideas ... as opposed to Bargains

This is a shop front in the works… creating for Lauren, who will manage all.
The point in creating this shop is to learn how to create textures and small garden items as a Florist Shop may be, and combine it with art. The art work will be from real life and include some photography.
Although this post is for a Bo’s Bargains Sunday… I haven’t really a bargain to demonstrate because I haven’t had time to shop without feeling a tad frustrated for finding terrific sale items from some incredible designers – BUT I didn’t find anything unique that I haven’t already got in my inventory or can easily create myself. Not to say the bargains and special objects or clothes aren’t out there… it’s just that I have had limited time to hunt around and was not in the mood to spend too much time bouncing around. Instead… I went in to that grand world of drooling creative zone – where time does not exist.
It makes me think that perhaps it will be a good idea to create a 100 day piccola sfida (small challenge) each day – and subject matter very broad. I will think more on that and discuss more with Judie and Till as well.
So here is a preview of what I am working on gradually for Lauren. This is VERY basic and pending name, but incredible potential and gorgeous view!
Shop front:
[ zerkalo ] Mademoiselle - Dress form Jewelry Display - RARE
[ zerkalo ] Mademoiselle - Mannequin w/Hat
[ zerkalo ] Little Love – Box
dust bunny . hanging plants . double planter
[ keke ] tall bottled flowers – blue-
[ keke ] sphere bottled flowers – blue

GGC 107 Elegance Boutique


2elegans_logo

I Found this store in the Maitreya gifts note cards.
There where lots of gifts in this store. Most of them where for classic and where double boxed and had no hud. Each colour was packed individually. Older players will remember this from a few years ago when most items where packed like this, pre mesh.
 I tried on every single gift and only found 2 i could use on my Mesh body due to skirts being short and the mesh body alphas where not in the right place. It's a great gift board for new residents or non mesh body players.


This outfit is made to fit
There are 5 colour options in this outfit. I left the girls to choose which they wanted to use.
Maitreya

This was another outfit that fitted mesh. It had a good selection of colours and very good texture. It might not fit you all but it fitted Judie really well. I didn't enjoy opening all the box's one at a time though. Don't you just love huds and we take them for granted now. And having to find a sandbox to rez and open box's!!
