#561 Knick Knacks have a place and purpose in your life








We all have many Knick knacks in our house. What I don’t look forward to each year is spring cleaning.  Spring organizing and Knick knacks go hand in hand.  It’s all well and good to have your gorgeous Knick Knacks, but Spring Cleaning means it is time to reorganize yourself, to give your home a thorough scrub and to clear up the clutter.  
I was reading an article the other day that people guard their Knicks knacks like Gollum with the damn ring. and unfortunately that is me.  My Knick knacks are stored in cupboards or some high up so the cat won’t knock it down.  Items like figurines, miniature tea sets, furniture, mechanisms, and wood carvings.  If it can fit in a shelf, I’m sold.


Even though my mother and some family members dislike knickknacks because of the potential clutter and dust (but we won’t hold it against them), I didn’t grow up having any about the house, and just love them.  I’ve somehow managed to slake my little obsession by having a little piece here and there and they are remnants of my travels, my life and some are sentimental to me.  


What I love the most and treasure immensely are my items from Indonesia and from my travels.  I love African timber knickknacks. The figurines are representative of their culture, and are masterfully done. From beautiful carved timber bowls to tiny huts to fishermen in a boat, crafts and delicate embroidery the possibilities are endless. Most of my Knick knacks were affordable, are locally-made ornaments and most from Indonesia, they are special.
I love the fact that someone has spent so much time crafting and designing the delicate features and the hours spent on making that little Knick knack to be perfect and ready for buying.


One of our second life designers have been carefully crafting their way towards some gorgeous items called “Paint your Life” which are available now at Shiny Shabby, this being our own Natacha Haroldsen from her store “Knick Knacks”.

#555 The geese aren't too far away.. returning to Neva River...






When I go out with family or friends, they call me camera happy. I try to make as many photos as I can. I love the art of making photographs through capturing small snippets of the places and lives that I touch. I love that I can have a record of being with my friends and share those moments with them later, a group context that only we can share. The only thing I won’t do is take photos of myself, I am not a selfie junkie but quite the opposite, I love taking photos of everyone else, and I am proud to state I am a photographer.
 
Once upon a time, I started with a junky thing in an old flip- flop-phone, and from there was gifted a nice point-and-shoot. That lasted a few years, until I was again gifted an amazingly lovely entry-level DSLR, the Nikon D60.
 
That camera came with me everywhere, spare lenses included. Once, I was taking photos of everything I could, interesting and not. Having my camera with me was more than a possibility; it was expected, much to the chagrin of my shoulders and the curses from my friends to hurry up and to take that damn pic. J


I go for what I call photo-walks. I love capturing moments of couples glancing at each other in love, birds flickering on a branch, wildlife, and even though I hate crowds I love capturing a crowd moment and everyone busy in their lives. For several hours of the evening almost every day I’d be out, just consuming the city around me, finding little areas that people had made their own, finding places that interest me, intrigue me and most especially the mornings, when the mist is gathering on the fields and the heat is coming from the cows on their backs. Just adore!!


There are places that I return to for each season in Second life and one such place that I truly adore is that of Neva River. The magical way that Neva Zenga transforms her place of heaven for you.  Now housed up in the new area in Neva River Village, I walk around looking at different angles and enjoying the sounds of the serenity. One such sound that is coming soon is the approaching geese as they once again return to the beauty of spring at Neva River.

#497 A dog's love knows no boundaries with Anc, Zerkalo, GizzA Creations, and Scarlet Creative


Two designers have released these amazing creations in Secondlife for us. I was so excited to see these designs in the early stage and how they turned out, I felt like I was a kid in the candy shop when I saw what was going to be released for us all at Collabor88, one of these designs includes the awe inspiring work from Anc. Anc have released these so adorable Flottante Puppies with/ or without collars, either jumping, laying or just being themselves.

#488 Even good girls have secrets with Salt and Pepper, and Fancy Decor


Father did you miss me?

I've been locked up a while.
I got caught for what I did but took it all in style.

Now I'm versed in so much worse,
So I am back again....
