If you haven’t heard of Harmony Hunts yet, you for sure need to add it to your hunt rounds every month. All items in the hunt are only L$10. You can view their website HERE for more details. The hunts last from the 15th through the 30th of each month. Follow them on FACEBOOK too!
For this first post today, I decided to get all cozy. I’m definitely ready to float away into dreamland right now. And doesn’t that fluffy cloud and soft pillows look perfect for just that?
My comfy robe is from UwU Kawaii Store and comes in the purple I’m wearing, pink, green and light blue. They each fit Belleza, Maitreya, Slink and TMP bodies. I love the contrast between the robe print and the edges!
The pillows I’m snuggled up in are from Charmerize. They come as the 3 pack with the blue, pink and purple. Aren’t they beautiful? And fluffy as the cloud! Each one is only 1 land impact and they are copy so you can put out as many as you’d like.
Finally is my makeup. How unique and cool is this?! The eyeshadow and the under eye lightening and rain are from Kex. It is BOM for Lelutka Evo X and comes as one whole tattoo or you can wear each piece separate as well.
The hunt ends in 2 days so don’t delay in getting on it! Be sure to grab up all the goodies and then join again for next month.

Well, I’ve finally taken a break from the FabFree anniversary posts, but I imagine it will be a short one. I had to get a word (or many words) in about what is going on at Raindale this month. This is a long one, so grab a tea and come sit.
What’s up?
Raindale released information to their group members earlier this month that there’s going to be a lot of changes happening in their store. Due to unfortunate circumstances and political issues that I will not go into detail about here, the creator has not been able to withdraw funds from their SL account to real life. While the designer was able to make a living off creating products in SL previously, this is no longer possible due to this issue. As a result, Keira Raindale has decided to scale down their store and turn their business into more of a hobby. The store is not closing, but at least half of the products at the store are retiring. Raindale is going to transition their store to focus on creative projects and “fantasy and whimsical items” in the future. The creator described this transition as “more of a fresh start, as it will benefit everyone, with more gifts, affordable products and charity projects”. If you would like more information, you can find a detailed notecard about the store’s transition in the Raindale group notices.
Please try to support this creator in any way you can. There may not be much we can do, but we can show our support and let Raindale know how much we appreciate their beautiful creations. Right now, Raindale has a number of awesome things going on which you can go do to show support for the creator and I’ll walk you through them now.
Retirement Sale
Raindale is having the biggest sale in their history until August 6th. All products are discounted 20% off in the store and retiring items are reduced up to 50% off. In August, the store will close for renovations after the retirement sale is over. This is what Raindale states about the sale in the group notices:
“Over half of the products will be gone soon! The outlet will be gone too – get those old products while you can! Since SL is now just a hobby, I’m getting rid of most of the “modern” and older items, and going to focus on fantasy and whimsical stuff in the future. The store will be closed for renovation in August! Some retired products may return in some shape or form, but it’s not guaranteed! And some unmarked products may be gone too, so get anything you need till the sale is over!”
So stock up while you can, because a lot of these items will be gone for good very soon!
You can show Raindale support by joining their group. Group members of the Raindale group will receive 250L store credits until the end of July. The VIP group currently costs 250L to join, but it is so worth the join fee, and you will see why as I show you all the great things you could buy with the store credits and the wonderful gifts they have available at the shop. Raindale group members also receive 15% back from their purchases in store credit.
Get it Before It’s Gone
In the decor scene shown at the top of my post, I am showcasing an amazing house that can be purchased with the 250L store credit at the retirement sale. The beautiful “Gracewoods Teahouse” is the building in the centre. This was previously from the Gracewoods gacha, and it was a “rare” item. The house now costs 160L on the retirement sale for the copy version, leaving you with some additional credit to spend at the store. You can find the teahouse in the Raindale Outlet. The Outlet will be closing when this huge sale is over in August, so this is your last chance to get items like this and anything else in the Outlet. Any items marked with a “Final Sale” tag at the Raindale mainstore are also retiring and may not re-appear ever again. If you want them, now is your time!
Wanderlust Weekend
The pretty water fountain shown in my picture at the top is Raindale‘s current offering for Wanderlust Weekend. You can get 3 colours of this fountain -white, pink and mint- for only 50L on the sale for a limited time. The fountains come with sound on or off versions and the sounds are very relaxing. This has been out for a couple weeks, so grab it while you can at an amazing price!
There is also a huge wall of past group gifts out for Raindale group members. I have added some of those group gifts into my teahouse and garden scene, including:
The canopy tent with pillows, which you can see next to the house on the grass.
The grasses with fairy lights are a group gift. Inside the package, two sets of grasses are included. This was a past hunt prize but it’s now up on the group gift wall.
The ladder with lights, which is resting against the side of the house, is another group gift.
The room divider inside the teahouse is from a past holiday gift.
The table spread with tea cups, cakes, macarons, candles and flowers, which I placed inside the teahouse, are still available for Raindale group members. This entire set comes from the package called “5th Anniversary Gifts”, a past group gift at the store. I thought the tea set matched the teahouse theme perfectly! ☕
June Group Gift
The June group gift at Raindale for VIP members is an exclusive summer collection available for a limited time, which you can see in my photo below. It’s amazing. The collection includes the octopus pouf, the beach ball, the coconut cocktail, the stool, the torches, the swim ring, and the board. 5 signs, including this “Summer Time” one are included. This set is so cute! This collection will not be available after the gift is gone and it is an exclusive made only for Raindale group members. This gift will be available until the end of July. The creator was so kind that she kept it out an extra month longer.
Finally, don’t forget that Raindale is also participating in FabFree at Fifteen the items they have available for the event are absolutely amazing as well. Aline blogged all of those free gifts and promotions earlier this month HERE. Make sure you check out Aline’s post, see all the good deals available, and show your support for the store!
Thanks for reading.

Hey FabFree! I am getting cozy in my PJs and enjoying this pretty new bed set I found! My entire decor scene is made of free hunt prizes and group gifts today. I have some time-sensitive freebies to share in this post, so I’m going to jump right to it so you can get them too!
I Love Kazza
I was delighted to discover that Kazza is participating in the Aurelias Egg Hunt. This hunt ends today, so go ASAP to get their hunt prizes! Both of Kazza’s prizes are free, and you are looking for eggs on the sim to find them. The first prize is the “BytheSea” bed, which comes in Adult and PG versions with options to change the colour of the bedsheets to blue and white or pink and white. The second prize is the carpet, pillows, and table. The pillows include animations that are meant to be used on the carpet. I’m in love with these finds, and they are my personal favourites from the Easter season this year. Don’t delay and collect up the prizes today before it’s too late.
I’m not sure how new these gifts are at Noveny, but they were new to me! All of their gifts are by the landing point. Here are the gifts I am showing from Noveny in my scene this morning:
The rectangular wall shelf with the plant and sculpture on it is a TeleportHub group gift. Just join the TeleportHub group for 10L and the gift is yours for no cost!
The leaf-shaped wall structure is a group gift for members of Noveny’s group. Their group currently costs 30L to join. This is a pretty cool item, because the Noveny logo is a leaf and it’s a nice homage to the store! You can resize the shelves to fit your needs. You may choose to decorate these shelves with smaller decor items (plants, food, books, etc.) to make your scene look pretty.
The little lightbulb sculpture that I decorated the shelf with is another Noveny group gift. If you look closely inside the lightbulb, there is dirt and a small tree growing inside it. This is a “terrarium” and it’s really pretty. The Noveny group has some other group gifts as well and they give out gift cards sometimes so it’s worth the join fee if you love home and decor items.
Enjoy decorating your homes, FabFree! I’m going to go back to lounging in my PJs on this fine morning. 😉

Hey FabFree! I have a quick post for today. I’ll take a quick break from St. Patty’s finds to show you a cute item for your home.
These pillows are a freebie from Kazza back from Valentine’s Day. The great thing about these is that they work all year round- the hearts are subtle and the tones are muted. The large pillow pile includes singles lying animations (shown here) as well as couples and adult animations. It’s a keeper! You will find these pillows for free at Kazzaright here. Just pay the vendor 1L and it will refund you right away. No group is required.
Hello hello Fab Free’rs, of the many many things I love about what I like to call Halloween season are the scary movies. I’m particularly fond of classic horror, and I can’t help but love the horror comedy smashup that is Young Frankenstein. What does all of that have to do with this post? Why the pillows of course! I have a few fabulous freebie finds to share for this post. I hope you like them.
MoonPhase
These too-cool-for-words pillows and the cheeky embroidery wall art pieces are a free group gift at MoonPhase. These decor items are all every bit as awesome in person as they are in photos. The MoonPhase group is free to join. Also, there are other free group gifts available.
ChicModa
In addition to the fantastic decor items, I picked up the latest group gift at ChicModa. My cropped tee reads “Drink Up Witches” and I think it is so so cute. The ChicModa group is free to join for a limited time, so do not wait to join!
Lastly, a new-to-me shop called Project Crystal’s Fashion has a pair of perfect-for Halloween body suits for just 1 linden on the Marketplace. I did attempt to find an in-world location, but was unsuccessful. I’ve always liked the idea of wearing certain more lingerie-like pieces as outerwear in a fashion sense. This is for me one of those “fashion experiments” if you will. I wore one of the BOM layer bodysuits under the high-cropped top from ChicModa.
Hey there Fab Free, I’m glad you’re here. Sometimes self care includes a little romance. Don’t get it twisted, I’m not talking anything tawdry. I mean ambiance, atmosphere, create a place where you feel peaceful, pampered, and can relax. I put on a pretty but comfortable pajama set, lit some candles, and found a soft squishy pillow to snuggle. Don’t forget to take care of yourself, especially during these trying times.
To create my romantic atmosphere I picked up the free Dreamland Designs gift at Gachaland. The Dreamland Designs gift is this beautiful display of lit candles, pink flowers, and petals. The display also has a lovely particle effect to add to the romantic vibes. This squishy pillow by Pillows I’m holding is another free gift at Gachaland. It has a bento hold pose which also worked nicely with my AO. Lastly, my anime-esque girly pink pigtail hairstyle is a free gift at Gachaland by Ayasha. It comes in the single pastel pink color shown. The Gachaland event group is free to join, and you’ll need the group tag to get these and several other free gifts. Just look for the gift boxes (most of them are purple) outside the booths at the Gachaland event.

Hello there Fab Free’rs! Sorry to have been a little absent lately, I’m sure you all know how it is when real life decides to get in the way. That said, I have been a little tired and I think I’m due for a day of doing nothing. In preparation for my day of well nothing I picked up the latest group gift for Fab Free group members at Satus Inc. The gift from Satus Inc. matches perfectly with these inexpensive tube socks from Classy Chics on the Marketplace. I also picked up the perfect pillows for lounging around at Zen Creations.
Don’t Grow Up It’s a Trap!
This over sized pajama shirt is a FREE gift at Satus Inc. for all Fabulously Free in SL group members. An over-sized shirt is my favorite lazy day lounge wear. The Fab Free group is always FREE to join. To get your gift, head over to Satus Inc. and wear your Fab Free group tag. Then just click the gift vendor. The shirt reads “Don’t Grow Up It’s a Trap” and I have to tell you I often agree with that statement!
These whimsical throw pillows are a current group gift at Zen Creations. Each pillow can change color via touch, and can be displayed together as shown or individually. The Zen Creations group is also FREE to join at this time. You’ll need to wear the Zen Creations group tag to get this FREE set of pillows.
Tube Socks
I secretly hope that tube socks never go out of style. Maybe they were never in style in the first place. Either way these socks are perfect for a day of do-nothing-ness. These socks are from a shop called Classy Chics on the Marketplace. They come as a Maitreya applier only for just 25 lindens. The hud has six color variations, five of which are white sock with colored stripes, and one black sock with white stripes.
I’m all settled in to read a good book… or two… or three! And thanks to Sway’s I can do it free! It’s like having my own free Second Life library with comfy pillows!
10th Birthday!
It’s Sway’s 10th Birthday! And they are celebrating with a birthday hunt and giving out a free exclusive prize… this gorgeous reading set which includes the pillows and book stack.
Furniture details:
Pillows = 2 prims
Pillows have 7 poses (including 1 couple pose) and give book props on touch
Pillows do not use pose balls
Pillows have 6 texture options for different color schemes
Book stack = 2 prims
How to get your gift:
Teleport to Sway’s and at the landing point you’ll find a little area with all the information. Pick up the gift hud and wear it. It will show ten blank balloon spaces on the hud. You’ll need to hunt down the ten different colored balloons that are hidden all over the sim. There are not any balloons in any skyboxes; they are all on the ground. You must be close to the balloons when you click them for them to “fill” your hud.
Once you have touched all ten balloons and filled your hud, come back to the gift station and click the gift station to redeem your hud and get your free gift! It’s that easy!
Quick tip: I found that the hud covered part of my screen because of its placement. I edited it by moving it to the far top left of my screen to move it out of the way and that made hunting for the balloons much easier!
The hunt ends Oct 15th, 2017.
Getting comfy
Reading books means I needed a comfy outfit for my reading adventure. I stopped by Kamiri to pick up their FabFree group gift offering, which of course is always free. I really like this little one piece outfit which includes both the top and shorts.
Sizes included:
Classic mesh XS – XL
Maitreya – Lara
Slink – Hourglass & Physique
Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus
Happy reading! I hope you find a new favorite book!
