Home Expo 1...

Home Expo is here!  It's my SL Christmas!  There are so many new designers I hadn't come across and that's only the first day.  Seeing the new manor by Kismet, I had a holy shit moment in real life.  It's breathe taking.  There is also a gatehouse which is the RFL item being sold.

My second holy shit moment was discovering the display by Alchemy Immortalis.  If you climb to the top,  make a donation and release paper lanterns into the sky.  It's for a good cause and it's fun!

Here is another view of the build.  The RFL items are a gorgeous version of their new chair and a Chinese peace lantern rezzer.

If you are a rockin a beach theme the builds by Barnesworth Anubis would be perfect.  The textures are lush with breezy open layouts.

The little cottage by Cleo Designs is adorable.  It's the RLF item and very very very reasonably priced.  There are lots of cute items for sale inside to help you decorate it.

The RLF item from Shoreman design is perfect for an Asian theme or if you just want a tranquil place on the water.  It's only 250, so well worth it and it's for a good cause.  More houses later!
Tp'ing here should get you started.
