Yay, banner not buggered no more! ( ‘Cept YES it is a tad fuzzy, something that I shall address at the weekend:)Tell you what elses is though, and that’s my sidebar accoutrements. WordPress, as wonderful as it is, can be a real faff at times to sort out, and to be quite honest yesterday I just wanted a nice early night..because I am lazy like that. However, I couldn’t have my early night until I had ventured into the Moroccan paradise that is Melino. (Owner- Tara Tagore) Backstory: Francesa Cassini, who has been a neighbour of mine for as long as I’ve been in Jasper and is utterly lovely to boot, invited me over to her new place where she is now happily residing with her beloved. I love exploring people’s homes…nosey cow that I am, because I love the way people decorate their virtual dens. How’s this for synchronicity-she’s only living in a Botha Architects ‘Aqua House’ (apparently she saw mine and fell in love with it-told you they were good!) and it was great fun meandering around her home and seeing how she had chosen to embellish it. Francesca is a tad keen on vibrant reds and oranges, which is reflected throughout in her choice of furnishings, and the whole look is stunning. But what REALLY caught my eye were the soft furnishings, in particular a Moroccan bed with ‘special’ enhancements that was just divine. Of course I begged and pleaded for a LM, and lo and behold I found myself literally in paradise. This place is sumptuous, god only knows why I haven’t been here before. I have never seen such a store in SL before, and it captures the flavours of the East perfectly. If you want cushions and soft furnishings in beautiful patterns and colours, this is the place to be. If you want rugs, lamps, candles and wonderful cupboards and dressers come here. I spent an hour and a half just wandering around, it’s that kind of store. Plus, they are so sumptuous and inviting that I saw other couples snuggling down together to enjoy the attributes and sheer loveliness of the creations. The colours make this place an utter feast for the eyes, and don’t even get me started on the tents! If anything has made me yearn for more prims it’s this place..I honestly cannot fault it…….yummo!
