the icing on the cake

The icing on the cake ( in Holland we say: the cherry on the cake) is a saying that means: the detail that completes the work or an addition that benefits the whole. Well Nic is a cherry lover😉and she likes details. 

At the Shop & Hop event all those store credits and gift cards that we get are really the icing on the cake too. So go go go and get those credits. List here. With the giftcard of Poison Rouge I bought this dress for Nic. Some details in this blogpost are the beautiful eyes, the "bees" earrings and the glasses. I found them all for free at Leronso, a skin shop that I didn't know about. The milkshake is a present at the SL19B gift area. For me the hair is free, because I am in the Mina Group. If you aren't in the group you have to pay 200ld for the membership. 

The bag and the pose are in the Saturday Sale at heart poses.

More is possible in my country when it is June 1st. The behavior rules to prevent new corona virus victims may become looser. This means we can make trips and vacation in our own country. Just everywhere with enough distance of course.
Because of that a camping scene with Nic. I wanted make the pictures with my friend Chi but he was unable to attend this morning, so i decided to make the picture with Nic alone. His outfit we can use in another scene another time. When we were preparing yesterday he could slap Nic on her buttock  ;).  To show you the interactive like or dislike tattoo looks like. Each person can only slap one time. So the other like was done by myself. The tattoo is available at the new round of the Look event. Nic is showing you a bikini with fishes on it too from that event. Comes with a color hud. Her skin is skin Mariona from 7 Deadly s[K]ins. Nic is wearing skin tone pineapple. The U-bob hair is from Tableau Vivant. A release not long ago at Uber. Now in the main shop. You can wear the hair in several styles. More or lesser blown in the wind styles. All nice to wear also when you not a photographer.

In the decor you see the garden blanket from .:Tm:. Creations. There are so many animations in this blanket. Really astonishing  so much and very good. For solo, couple, cuddles and adult. Because i want use the blanket also at other places then a garden i checked if i could unlink and relink and that was possible. That means too that you can use the blanket with lesser prims. I made a version with 5 prims. The normal version is 13 prims. The blanket comes with the puppets and plants and has white cushions. The other colorful pillows are from Zen creations. From a set with the surfboard, a beach ball, beach radio and the stool and many pillows. The camping stool has animations. The spring Picnic table is from Serenity Style. Released a bit earlier this year but perfect for now. Comes with a good color hud. I forgot to place a nice picnic suit case at the pictures. So scroll to see below. The sitting cats with a bit flowers and grass are from Quality Gardens. A hunt gift at the All Stuff Hunt in June. The cute picnic basket is from CHEZ MOI.

Yesterday i listened to a talk of Steven Grant in sl at the Bhoddicitta Zendo at the sim Hikaru. The topic was feeling incomplete. It was an interesting speech, like the other speeches that i heard from him.
What does it feel like when I believe I lack something? How does my body feel when I need someone or something to complete me? Our mind influences our feelings and the needs of our body too.
We can influence our feelings with our mind.

And it's obvious that Nic is influenced by a very positive mind today. She is grateful for the blessings in her life. Enjoying the good friends she has in sl and the pleasure and love she gets. Enjoying the special contacts she can have here with people from all over the world. It's such an amazing fantasy-and real world in sl. Real because all in sl is influenced by real persons.

Nic is standing on the balcony of a Mediterranean home from the gacha, named Sunny Lombardia,  from Elfico Penso (177 LI). You know may be the beautiflul Mediterranean manor and mansion from the gacha of 8f8. But this is also beautiful but different. This is a large sort of house and the walls inside are different. I placed two houses near each other at picture 3 so you can see more sides of the house. I placed the loggia at the balcony. The gacha has also a RARE Wine Cellar with curved ceiling and all sorts of wines for on the wall in the cellar. You can try the gacha at SENSE. On the picture you can also see the table and chairs, the grape plate, porcelain service, urn with flowers hanging and standing.
The barrels with cats from .:Tm:. Creation are  available at SENSE. The whole set is behind Nic on the balcony. You can unlink the set. Near Nic i placed a part of the set. The set has many animations.
The dog is from TLC, a companion dog available at the Cosmopolitans Sales Room. You can click the dog for more fur options. See behind Nic for example one with another color. The doves from TLC are at Flourish in the package of the wall fountain.( 99ld!)
On the table a bread basket from nutmeg., available at Belle. The Margarita pitcher from Dahlia is available at Uber.

Nic is wearing the skin Sasia from 7 Deadly s[K]ins available at SENSE. Her outfit from *SK* is also available at SENSE. Available in many colors.

A smile because i got my flickr pro account back yesterday. I asked for help, because i couldn't enter my account, but it took 2 weeks to get personal contact. Probably the Flickr team was too busy because of the changes Flickr made last weeks. For me my Flickr account is important because i have 2.1 K followers. I didn't want to lose them. And my sponsors rely on Flickr pictures.
Another important thing is that the ones that i prayed for in this post are doing well so far.

Click them and you can choose what you want get and accept to wear it. The plateau is a pig kitchen cutting board of RE at marketplace.
The cargo bike, the fence with large cherry tree branches, the grass with flowers, the birds and the birdhouse are from a backdrop of Lop Backdrops at Sense. The scooter and cats are from a set of .:Tm:.Creation from the March round of Sense, now in the main shop of course. The milk churns are from *PC* at Boardwalk.

Nic is wearing a dress of amias, available at Tres Chic ( till June 10th) Available in 12 separate colors. The fat pack has 4 exclusive colors extra.  Also Nic's jewelry is of amias. The bento rings and bracelets are in a gacha at Whimsical ( till June 12th). The necklace you can find in the main shop. Nic's hair is a group gift of Phoenix. You get a fat pack.

Boardwalk

The new event Boardwalk will start in two days. The event will run from November 15 till December 15. On Boardwalk you can find furniture, decors, homes, sky boxes, garden/landscaping, photo props and other creations. I hope the event will be a success. My blessings go to the organizers and designers. Because i am  blogger for the event i can show you some items earlier. Hope it will make you interested to go and shop there.

You can see on the pictures the wishful cabin from Serenity Style. The curtain comes in 3 textures. In the roof are windows. The shed is resizable. The winter garden i made from a rock snow scene from .:Tm:. Creation at the left side on the full scene you can see what the rock scene contains. Snowy trees ( not the huge ones), wolves, rabbits, bushes, plants and a snowy underground. I unlinked all to use the parts everywhere, even as a roof top layer. The topiaries with the flickering lights are from (LFG). you can put the lights on and off.  They are nice near a door in Christmas time. To decorate then you need shop now.
In the shed are some nautic items from Magnum Opus: A wooden bench with cushions, a rug, the ship wheel, oars and the decor boat ( outside in the snow ).
The high cabinet ( i made it bigger) is from %Percent. The stripes are wooden measuring slats. Very cute! Doors can be opened with a hud. I will show the cabinet also in another blog post.

The evening is falling. The shine of the last rays of the sun is reflected by the sea. Nic is happy. She is expecting her special guest. The diner will be served at this beautiful table from Scarlet Creative.  They can relax in the hammock or sit in the grass against the LoveStory cushions from .:Tm:. Creation, a gift at the Aloha Fair. Comes with purple and white flowers and rocks.
Nic's dress is a silk from :::UNA::: for the Kinky event.  No leather  or lingerie this time Una Daxter,  the designer, wrote. I love this top and skirt. Some colors you can get separate and in the fatpack are more colors.
Nic is in a warm red mood. Also the tattoo's are in that color. I used a tattoo from White~Widow, the one with the lions. They seem to be caged behind Nic's top. The under boobs tattoo is from Carol C.
The shoes are from Pure Poison. For info see the post before this one.
