Cranberry Isle

Nothing like the joys of a weekend getaway. Cranberry Isle, a 30-minute ferry ride from the Maine mid-coast, is known for it's quaint streets and sprawling summer clapboard houses, wooded paths and rugged shore. Bikes are the preferred means of travel here and any old rust bucket with a basket will do. Happily, the days have warmed enough to stash the winter wardrobe, but a sweater or jacket is still required. Visit before the summer people come! 

All clothing from the May round of Mens Department, which ends soon so don't miss it, plus two items from the upcoming Men Only Hunt, one of the year's best events for SL males (will show more from that hunt when it gets underway).

Pt. Richmond

A few more scenes inside the skybox from my last post, including a general view of this nice build from [Deco] on sale at Mens Dept.

Avis are the same as last time (see my previous post for info on gifts from Essences & Anna Shapes, also check the sale rooms for the new sale items from these designers). I'm not sure if the Golden Apple Hunt gifts are still available, but I hope some of you guys made your way over to the NYC sim to grab some of those items.

The fashion here is a mix of Mens Dept, two really nice group gifts from +HuHu+ (a relatively new store with some cool designs - check it out) and an excellent Christmas gift for women from English Muffin. Note that EM's gift includes the dress shown plus six female skin tones and it is just one of a whole mess of gifts (other skins etc.) that Remain Coy of English Muffin has put out for her group. While the group has a 100L joiner fee, the dress gift is currently set to free (check the Teddy Bear under the tree). Move fast while the gift is available...Update: the gift is now 75l for non-group members.
