Weekend Haul! 8/16/25

Hello there! I have some new things to share with you from this weekend's sales! As happens, one of the items I bought turned out to not be my cup of tea, but that's OK. I knew I was taking a chance on it when I bought it. The other things turned out to be pretty fun, so let's hop on it. 

So, this was the one item I opted to not keep. It's the Bodrum Kitchen (90 L$) from Canarun. I dunno...the lower cabinets seem to have a baked in shadow of the kitchen island which I'm not jazzed about, I thought it was going to be a lighter color, and this just seems to be made for a specific build which I don't have. All in all, it just wasn't for me. BUT! Canarun makes amazing stuff, so I'm certainly not going to let this keep me from buying from them in the future, this was just a miss for me. 

Next, we have the Airlie Bedroom (100 L$) from Kraftwork. You get everything pictured, and there's a HUD to let you customize the bed, side tables, and hanging lamps. It's a super little set, and well worth the price! 

Oh. My. God. These jars. This was actually a weekend sale offering from last week, and I was SO upset that I was 1 L$ short from being able to get these, so when I saw they were still out this week, I cheated and bought them. These are the Frog Jars (100 L$) from Pitaya. They are so stinking adorable, and I absolutely had to have them. I picture them in a row on top of some kitchen cabinets looking so silly and cute...they will be in my next house, I guarantee it. 

Everything from here down is a package from Your Dreams for the incredible price of just 89 L$. First we have the Industrial Bathroom, which comes with shower stalls in three different finishes (white marble, grey marble, and off white granite) a single sink, a double sink, two rugs, toilet, hamper, and a crate with some pillows in it. This bathroom alone is worth the price, but then you also get a revamp of one of her Petit Home in a bunch of different finishes, shown below. 

The footprint is the same for all, but the exterior finish and the inside tile is different on all four. It's a cute little place with an Art Deco flair, with a larger living area, and three internal rooms. I'd probably use the front room for a kitchen/dining area, then the back rooms as a bedroom and small bath. It's small and cozy, and really cute. 

Lastly, as a bonus with the houses, you also get this cute chair, side and coffee tables, and a small rug. It's a stupid generous offering for a ridiculously low price. I had previously bought the house before, but I liked the idea of getting some different looks, so I opted to re-buy it. 

So, that's it for this week! The FLF Birthday Bash just got started this week, and it is PACKED right now, so I'll probably hit that up next week. If I get anything from there, I'll be sure to post it. I hope you all have a great week! 

Creator Showcase - Fancy Decor

So, there's no Weekend Haul this week...I spent my weekly allowance on things for my avatar for a portrait picture, and didn't really have anything left to spend on weekend sales. Sorry! So instead, I decided to do something I'd been wanting to do for a while, and feature one of my favorite creators. 

So for this post, we're concentrating on Fancy Decor. I decided to rez a skybox from Ambice, and see if I could rustle up a couple of rooms using nothing but FD items in my inventory, and the pictures below are the result. Now, this isn't all of my FD items...not by a long shot. And the only thing in the room that was from another creator was the TV set, but I'll link that in the credits, as it's pretty cool. 

I LOVE Fancy Decor. Jake Vordun has put together a collection of amazing furniture, art, and decor, and when I'm looking for something in particular, FD is usually the first place I'll check. There are a number of styles to choose from...modern, vintage, classic, you name it. His attention to detail is unsurpassed, and now that he's expanding into PBR items, I know things are only going to get better. And I need to buy more of his plants, as I only have a couple, and I'm a sucker for plants. 

This post is not sponsored, so while some of the items I've featured are group gifts (Jake is very generous with group gifts!) everything else I've purchased over the years. I have gacha items, collaborative items, and things from his art museum The Vordun. If you haven't been there, I highly recommend going, and it's accessible from his mainstore sim. 

And now for the pictures...and there are quite a few. I'll have all the credits at the end.

Weekend Haul! 8/2/25

Hi Duckies! Back for another installment to show off my weekend sale haul. I know weekend sales are going through a bit of backlash and angst, but I'm not really wanting to go too deeply into that. I know that through these sales I have found a lot of new stores that I hadn't heard of before, and that I keep in mind to check out for further items, on sale or regular price. If something is released on a weekend sale that I already bought for full price, I don't stress about it. I take advantage to maybe get additional colors that I couldn't decide upon and/or afford previously. 

I enjoy scanning through the sales on Seraphim, and use those to find the items that I'm blogging for this series, so I'm obviously going to keep doing so. If the sales go away, that's fine. I have a record here of things I've gotten in the past, and stores I'll want to keep shopping in the future. 

So without further ado, here we go!

First, we have the Ruffle Curtains (100 L$) and the Antique Wall Mirrors - Fatpack (150 L$) from Pitaya. Y'all. These are gorgeous. The curtains also come in sheers, but for this, the opaque photographed better, so I used them. They're frilly and lovely, and beautifully made. The PBR texturing gives them a silky sheen that's really lovely. And the mirrors are amazing! I've included a detail of one of them below. 

This is PBR done right. The subtle shine on the mirror frame, the slightly old and stippled texture on the mirror surface, and the way the light refracts off the mirror's bezel, it's all just *chef's kiss*. 

Next, I have The Boho Cabinet (75 L$) and The Boho Wingback Chair (99 L$) from Dreamland Designs. The cabinet is delightfully quirky. The pictures come with it, but are separate, so you can choose to use them or not. The cabinet comes with the decor shown, but it's all very cute, and it isn't very deep which makes it a great piece for an entryway or hallway, as it will provide a lot of visual interest, without taking up a lot of space. The wingback chair is fun and funky, and I included a detail picture below. 

I love the details with the tassels, the beading, the contrasting fabric on the chair and pillow, and even the little sag in the seat cushion that highlights the vintage feel. This is great chair for a bedroom or a reading nook. 

The Osaca Rectangular Rug and Osaca Round Rug (90 L$ each) come from The Design Firm Collection. I included a couple of pictures of these to show some of the 14 colors that come with the rugs. Just touch them, and a menu pops up that lets you choose the color that suits your decor. I love the carved design texture on these, that gives visual interest while keeping the rugs themselves fairly simple. They just look so cozy and velvety, don't they? I'll be using the heck out of these.

Lastly, but certainly not leastly, is the gorgeous Draped Crystals Kit (73 L$) from The Looking Glass. These deserve another...y'all. I mean really. Honestly anything from The Looking Glass is going to be amazing. And being that I love me some crystals, buying these was a no brainer. There are nine separate pieces, and they also have a touch menu that gives you nine different colors. I've put all nine pieces and colors in the photo above, and below are some closeups to show off how luminous these are. Put these in a window, and they will look fabulous. 

That's it for this week! It's so fun when everything you buy exceeds expectations. And please, when you hit these sales, give the stores a look too, and consider them for future purchases. These creators put so much work and love into what they do, and the grid is better off because of the creativity they share with us. See you next week!
