Midsummer Enchantment: Dark & Light

Like the rising sun on Midsummer morning, the Spike Crown from XAnSa represents the power of light, as do the wings from Psycho:Bytes. The Lucretia dress from Oubliette and the nails from DP represent the gentle dark of night. The Joined Hands Bracelet from C&C indicates the unity of dark and light for a total look that radiates power. 
This look and many more are available @ Midsummer Enchantment through July 9.

Midsummer Mystery Masks

There's a hunt going on @ the Midsummer Enchantment Event June 21-July 9.
Many of the designers have put lovely gifts inside a mask for you to find and hidden it somewhere on the sim. Not all the masks are in the shops, so look everywhere! Each mask costs just L$5. Some designers give you hints in their shops, others trust you to use your powers of observation.
If you notice someone wandering among the trees or poking behind the buildings, you can bet they're on the hunt.

Just to help you out a tiny bit, in these pictures I'm wearing one of the masks you're seeking. That won't make it any easier for you to find them, because they do blend in with the scenery, but at least now you know what you should be watching for... Don't forget to do some shopping while you hunt.
I found these cute separates while hunting in the Sn@tch shop and just couldn't resist!

Midsummer Enchantment June 21- July 9

The celebration of Midsummer's Eve (St. John's Eve among Christians) was from ancient times a festival of the summer solstice. Bonfires were lit to protect against spirits which were believed to roam freely when the sun was turning southward again.

Many people are familiar with some aspects of Midsummer's night from Shakespeare's play.
It is a time when the ordinary and the mystical coexist and when the fae may play a trick or two on unsuspecting travelers.

Join many of your favorite fantasy and Gothic creators @ Midsummer Enchantment, where you will find wonderful clothing, jewelry, home décor and more!
25% off  on Exclusives and a L$5 hunt as well!

Bring your own Puck or Titania and wander among the shops. You never know where you might find the magik.
If you find yourself falling in love, there are even wedding planners among the shops.

Scars

“My scars remind me that I did indeed survive my deepest wounds. That in itself is an accomplishment. And they bring to mind something else, too. They remind me that the damage life has inflicted on me has, in many places, left me stronger and more resilient. What hurt me in the past has actually made me better equipped to face the present.”
― Steve Goodier

Only those who get close enough to really see you notice your scars. In most cases, they will see those scars as part of what makes you unique. Do not hide your scars. Wear them proudly as a sign that you survived.
