To put myself in a holiday mood, and to have someplace to wear all these wintery holiday outfits I’ve been collecting (You see me here wearing a free LVS outfit I have previously blogged), I decided to hit a few spots on the Winterfaire Second Life Grand Tour. These are primarily private parcels that have been turned into winter wonderlands.
This snowman throws big snowballs at gingermen on the ice below and knocks them down!
I invited the never-dull Evo Witte to accompany me to the first destination on my list - Blythe Bracken and Wulfric Chevalier’s Second Life home at Samhain. Blythe says, “Wulfric builds the homes, and then i work around on the rest of it.” These kind souls keep their acreage open all the time, and they change it with the season. So go now to see the icey paradise described here!
Trail to unexpected discoveries. Notice the dragon in the water to the left.
Sapphire Jetaime: they leave no detail undone. Who ARE these people?
evo Witte: crazy winter supporters
(Evo’s from the north and is already tired of the cold this year!)
evo Witte: these people are way too productive, i’m sure we’d clash
Spring is coming! The end is near!
We ran across some rather depressed snowmen.
I was charmed when we happened upon tiny bears and tiny snow people dancing upon a frozen pond. Evo? Not so much.
Sapphire Jetaime: winter munchkin land!
evo Witte: they look dangerous… like evil ewoks
evo Witte: this is the horror part of the sim
Has anyone else noticed? Every other sim I go to these days is heavy into meditation.
evo Witte: i think buddah is smirking. its a trap!
Sapphire Jetaime: hahahahahaha
Sapphire Jetaime: The ewoks are coming! The ewoks are coming!
evo Witte: we might be sitting on a sacrificial altar
I saw light and color pouring through a door in a stone wall…
Sapphire Jetaime: It is SPRING OVER HERE
evo Witte: they are already planning 6 months out!
(Actually, it was more like autumn on closer inspection.)
Sapphire Jetaime: The mushrooms are multiplying
evo Witte: oh yes, those are not mushrooms… it’s an ewok factory
Sapphire Jetaime: omg.. they are like ewok pods
When I talked to Blythe later, she said that even as she changed the landscaping every season, “I have to have my mushrooms, I always have my mushrooms somewhere! :)))”
We found an igloo!
For those who are so inclined, there were some very snuggly looking pose balls inside.

Evo, who apparently can scope out everything that’s on a sim in 1.5 seconds, found a hidden cave. Below you see what we found inside.
Blue room inside a hidden cave
Evo, of course, jumped on the bed.
evo Witte: The bed is sneaky. the pose balls are protected!
Sapphire Jetaime: lol
evo Witte: guess they don’t want strangers making a mess
Sapphire Jetaime: Understandable.
So since the pose balls on the bed were protected, what else was there to do? You got it. Ohhhhmmmm…
I am very impressed with what Blythe and Wulfric have done here, and I encourage you to go. They love visitors! If you feel you want to help support their efforts, there’s a little donation box inside the mansion, but all are welcome. I was expecting a skating rink and a few snowmen. But this place is phenomenal. It has everything from Stonehenge in the distance to sunken viking ships. I’m mentioning these things ’cause you’ll have to go see them for yourself, as I only have so much room for photos here. 
If you’re wondering, I’m wearing fur-cuffed silver and white ice skates and matching bunny ear muffs from Chapeau tres Mignon in this post. I LOVE these skates. I’ve had them since last year, and one of the joys of the season is gliding around SL in them again.
Since unlike RL skates, I can go up and down steps with them, I’ve been wearing them for a couple days now! They come in all kinds of colors, and you can also get them in gold.
Evo is wearing their blue men’s hockey skates. Both men’s and women’s skates are very detailed, and I mean everything from the blades and laces to the fur. That’s the kind of detail which makes all the difference in Second Life fashion.
