The Arcade’s June 2013 Gacha Event is open!

I am SO excited for Second Spaces to be a part of the Arcade this month. This is an amazing event, filled with gorgeous goodness from some of the best designers in SL. There’s fashion, home decor, whimsy, and just awesomeness at every turn. To see everything available, check out the official Arcade Shopping Guide right here!

For my Gacha, I’ve got the Game Night collection – chock full of your favorites and ready for your next night of fun and games!

The games are decorative only – no skills needed. This way, you always win!!

There is also an alternate location for this round, in case the Arcade sim is too full. Try the Gacha Galley – shoppers will be able to cam and purchase gachas from this boat! [SLurl]

The Arcade runs from June 1 – June 30. Have fun!!

You have 9 days left to hit The Arcade. NINE. I think you know what to do.

For this month’s FaMESHed, MudHoney designer Rayvn Hynes has released the Ryan Sectional set. While I am mostly a shabby-vintage-old stuff kind of gal, I have always had a soft spot for a modern couch with great lines. The Ryan Sectional has that, like, three times over. The upholstery texture is gorgeous, and I love the draped blanket and the pop of green on that pillow in the corner. Gorgeous!

Over at The Men’s Dept this month, Isla Gealach and Cheeky Pea bring us a nostalgic little piece of gaming – the Playing Games Console. ♥

And, in case you forgot, The Arcade Gacha Event is still going strong! You can get some cool lamps from Trompe Loeil and some awesome canisters for your “stuff”, from [Commoner].

Did you guys think I was done with The Arcade? I’M NOT.

That’s the Gypsy Caravan from Nalena Fairey and Zigana. I love it. It’s available right now at…go ahead, shout out the answer if you know it…THE ARCADE. Why haven’t you gone yet?

I think it would be so much fun to really deck out the inside of that caravan. I love the little campsite I’ve got going here, but I really do love the idea of tricking out the porch some more and setting up a super cute little sleeping area inside. SOMEDAY.

Also, see that amazingly detailed and awesome picnic basket in the last picture? More to come on that bad boy. SOON.

Stop by The Arcade to pick up your Gypsy Caravan from Zigana! [SLurl]

I got a nice review folder from Lakua Arriaga of *ionic* – I’ve seen Lakua’s work before and definitely thought it was cute. Sort of shabby, sort of simple, just the way I like it. In the pic above, the couch, table, desk, and large chalkboards are all from *ionic*, and they gave me a great starting point for this precious little room. The rest of it is mostly filled up with more amazing items from this month’s round of The Arcade. I seriously could not be happier with all the things. ♥

I love the little inset in the center of the table, the perfect spot for a floral arrangement, as you can see. Love those kinds of details!
