"Secrets Of A Fairy Garden" by Bambi Chicque

“Secrets Of A Fairy Garden” by Bambi Chicque

For some reason when I saw Mistique’s new mesh Outhouse, an idea popped

into my head and I just felt like setting up a cute and fun spot in my fairy garden for it!

After all, Fairies need their restroom breaks from time to time, right?

Besides, who doesn’t have a picture of Alia Baroque

on their walls?

Morea Style created a new precious very lacey white “Adley Dress”

which includes 8 Appliers for mesh bodies!

I have been a frequent flier to her shop since my first week in SL and

favor her elegance and styles!

Although I am a little bent over in my pose, you should see this full set – just precious!

I love lacey and frilly things myself!

And that familiar thump hit my inventory at the right time with

~*Souzou Eien*~ sending me his newest set of wings as a Sneak Peak

for the upcoming We Love Roleplay!

Once again, the wings come with a Color HUD and I was thrilled

in the detailing of these stunning flight wares!

"Wishing For My Cowboy To Come Home" by Bambi Chicque

“Wishing For My Cowboy To Come Home” by Bambi Chicque

As I was setting up my new ranch area with Trompe Loeil’s new

Raleigh Wedding Barn, I couldn’t help but want to capture the

breathtaking view of the rafters for you to see!

It reminded me of when I was a younger gal playing hide-and-seek

with my cousins at my Grand-Dad’s ranch…….

One day my cousin, Keith, asked if I wanted to climb up in the rafters

of Grand-Dad’s barn and sneak over to his cattle house to see what he does

in there.  I had been told by Grand-Dad that I was never allowed over there, so

as a curious youngster I said “yes”!  We climbed up into the musky and

dusty loft of the old barn, crawled on our bellies to an open window

(watching out for rattle snakes and scorpions) which

oversaw the cattle house.  Just as I peaked over and looked into the

single-lit room, Grand-Dad has just brought a cow through the shoot and shot it!

OMG!

Remember, my Grand-Dad was not only a farmer and rancher, he also

had a meat market that people drove for miles and miles to buy sides of

beef and special cuts from him.

I let out a loud scream and Grand-Dad instantly chewed Keith out for

dragging me up there.  The bottom line to the story is that I have such a heart

for animals – yes, even cows and had no clue how the meats ever ended

up in his marketplace for sale.

I stopped eating beef after that!

The reminder of my family’s many ranches (including the famous 6666 Ranch),

barns, silos, farm houses and country homes is mainly the reason

Trompe Loeil’s Raleigh Ranch

created a pitter-patter to my heart and I knew I would set up a nice

area for my friends and I to enjoy the simple and quainter parts of life

while in SL!  This structure is magnificent and I strongly encourage

you to get one of these, along with his Wedding Decor that he created

too!

I had just received Oddity’s new blogger review package with the

cowgirl style outfit – so this was perfect timing for this photo!

Also, Oneword Round Seven Fairytales is coming

March 1st – March 15th!

Black Tulip will have 4 sets of “Dark Fairy” poses that are

breathtaking for all you fairies and roleplay posers!

Hope you enjoy!….BambiSTYLE CARD by Bambi Banner.PS.

"I Went To A Garden Party" by Bambi Chicque

“I Went To A Garden Party” by Bambi Chicque

Yesterday was a lively day for SL Bloggers, including myself…

Shiny Shabby invited our [SL] Blogger Support Group for preview day

prior to the opening (TODAY NOON SLT) of….

….drum roll please…..

Shiny Shabby” !!

The sim and shops are breathtaking in ambiance, a fresh and rickety flavor…

Lovely!!!  (Great photo spot opp!)

I love, love, love this event!  The talented Creators perform their best

for the boisterous shabby theme in attire, décor, accessories and homesteads!

The clock is ticking to opening…..hold your breath and don’t do anything

else today before you hit this gratifying event!

So here is a SNEAK PEAK!

Make sure to thank me later…*giggles*

Just a little tidbit………..

“Garden Party”

I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again.
When I got to the garden party,

They all knew my name.
No one recognized me, I didn’t look the same.
But it’s all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can’t please everyone, so ya got to please yourself..

Partial Lyrics by Ricky Nelson, R.I.P. 1940-1985

 

Ricky Nelson, singer/song writer & childhood Ozzie & Harriett star,

performed live at Madison Square Garden (1971)

within a venue of music style not to his own and

the crowd began to boo him off the stage.

Soon afterwards he began writing hit songs; including Garden Party

~ which was inspired by his emotional garden experience. 

Moral of the story: 

Never judge or slander a true artist lest they become triumphant

and will prove you wrong by truth and success. 

Besides, who wants to be that type of person anyway?

“Before The Early Ride” by Bambi Chicque

Challenge Me,

Dare Me,

Defy Me,

But Do Not

Understimate Me….

Because

Anything

Is Possible

On The Back Of My Horse

Poem by Cowgirl Way Magazine

Thinking of what event in SL might be my favorite,

It’s hard to say exactly to just one…

But!

I do love the Collabor88 monthly event since it creates

feelings with overwhelming themes and color palettes

AND…

for the super pricing the Creator’s offer before the

items are displayed on their marketplace or in their shops!

I have been wanting to create a fireplace-mantle-style photo

in the equestrian theme – and was delighted when Coco designed

a selection of clothing items and boots for this round!

Happy Me!….And…Soon to be happy you!

Happy Trails!

"From Unicorns To Pandora" by Bambi Chicque

“From Unicorns To Pandora” by Bambi Chicque

We all grow up loving unicorns; but do we ever grow up?

I believe we are all quite young at heart no matter our age and it

seems everyone has an affinity for the sweetness of the unicorn world!

I dashed back home to change into something fitting for this photo…

Hence…………

I was invited to join the Pandora Box of Dreams new sim that just opened

to the public about a week ago!  Beautiful and perfect for photographers!

This scene is found just as you enter…..

…..I hope to see you there, too!

"I Spy Christmas Elves" by Bambi Chicque

“I Spy Christmas Elves” by Bambi Chicque

This Holiday Season has brought more events, fairs, hunts, GACHAS, gifts & surprises

than you can shake a snowflake at!

Dredging through a wee bit of issues with my graphics card driver that

did not update properly – ugggh!,

I am finally posting some delicious Christmas goodies that have made their way

into my precious Rivershire home by

Trompe Loeil!  As I have been steadily decorating and

waiting on my sweetie to arrive, I thought this precious

You Better Not Pout POSE Snowflakes 01” Pose by Eternal Dreams

was perfect to simply stay and stay in while everything landed in their place!

We have a habit of playing “I Spy” when we eat out together,

so I thought with all the spunky Holiday Elves that has hit this season’s grid,

I would just play a little “I Spy Christmas Elves” with you!  Can you find them all??

I hope everyone’s Holiday Season is the merriest ever!

"A Little Respect" by Bambi Chicque

“A Little Respect” by Bambi Chicque

✘☪✘☪

And if I should falter
Would you open your arms out to me
We can make love not war
And live at peace in our hearts
I’m so in love with you
I’ll be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover

Don’t you tell me no
Don’t you tell me no
Don’t you tell me no
Don’t you tell me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me…

show off with my new mysterious Hat

Erasure happened to be playing on my Pandora;

Hence ~ the song title just sort’a fit!
