WEEKEND BARGAINS

Arya Braveheart

Summer has hit SL, and that means it is time to change over from green grass and trees to sand and sunshine. It is also time to rez the pool and get out the palm trees.

But how do you spruce up your home without spending loads of Lindens? Easy! You just need to take advantage of the amazing weekend sales and bargains to be had. Loads of these events take place around SL, and today I am going to show you four events that I always check out as each one contains high quality home & garden items. It is the perfect way to do a home makeover without breaking the budget.

The first is a long-running event in SL called Fifty Linden Friday.The name explains the event, as each item is priced at 50L and it starts and ends on Friday.

The second falls on Saturday and is called The Saturday Sale. Items are no more than 75L, and it is a HUGE event. The notecard drops for group members around 9pm on a Friday night.

Wanderlust Weekend is the third event, with items at the 50L mark. I also like this one as the items hit the fantasy mark, which is handy if that is your style or if you just want some cool, quirky pieces.

The last one, and by no means the least, is 60L Weekend. Again, the title says it all, with items being 60L or less. This event starts on Saturday and finishes on Sunday.

Just so you know, all of these events are not limited to home & garden items: they also contain fashion, accessories, hair, poses, and everything else. However, I will say that most of my shopping items are for my house or blogging purposes— although I am partial to some shoes, hair, and poses as the mood takes me. The photos I am including with this article are of some of the items I picked up over the weekend, and I made sure I have included at least one item from each of the events mentioned above. I have put them in the garden at the back of my house to take the photos, as I wanted you to see each item as a stand-alone. I didn’t take the photos at the event so that you can see the items easily with only trees and grass to provide some ambience!

I hope you discover for yourself that these events provide great quality items at a fraction of their value. I also hope you take the time to look at each designer’s store while you visit, and see what other amazing items they have on show. It is a great way to find new stores.
