Tea with the Bonny Black Hare


Spring decorating and Ostara's Altar are synonymous. I dragged my rather dark and gloomy witch's house into the light using some of the home decor items from Ostar's Altar


The Petite Mort Wonderland Tea Party Collection includes several different styles of animated chairs, the cloth-covered table, tea sets in pink or white and lots of yummy-looking cakes and cupcakes. It even includes a Mouse sitting on a pile of books to reach the table and an animated cup for you to hold. Components sold separately.

Wildflower Wabbit Planters from *Paper Moon* decorate the table and the corners of the room. I'm using pink and blue ones, but the Wabbits are available in 4 color combinations and hold 4 different plants.


Lunar Moth Collection from Dragon Magick Wares brings a vibrant touch of color to the wall. The frames can be displayed separately.

Moth-attracting Carriage Lamps from Devilock add a touch of light as well as movement.

The square pink BamPu Legacies Easter Breach Ostara Fur Rug comes in 3 sizes. The [QE Home] Nouveau Spring Rugs come in rectangle and round. Each [QE] rug includes a touch hud to change sizes and textures. The Elisium Round Rug from Witch in a Box comes in 14 textures.

Hidden under the table, a Crate of Eggs from Old World finishes off the spring decorations.



Another angle of the room shows you the influence of the Bonny Black Hare. Listen to the song HERE while you examine the unique goodies from BamPu Legacies' Easter Breach Ostara set including touch lamps featuring Bunny and Raven, a Side Table full of eggs and the very posh Bunny Parlor Chair. 

The Florence Accent Table [10 woods, 6 metals, 5 flower colors, 4 vine colors] and rectangular and circular Nouveau Throw Rugs [7 patterns] are from [QE Home].

  • Pastel Goths, look no farther! The Springy, but still Gothic, Eilida Dress from The Little Bat comes in 9 pastel colors + Black and Gray 
  • Bunny Egg Earrings from Rainnn come with 8 egg colors + 8 metals. I'm showing white eggs w silver
  • Solar Moon Nails are pastel lovelies from Eventyra in 3 heavenly mixes with either gold or silver sun and moon.

River Mermaid

  • The snow has melted and the hoarfrost is gone from the river rocks. Some mers leave their deep-water homes to travel up the rivers to bask in the sunlight. They find the residents of forest and field fascinating as they watch them scurrying to and fro on those things they call legs.
  • You'll find the goods @ Ostara's Altar fascinating as well! Scurry on over to find unique items for all your fantasy and esoteric needs. There are only a few days left.

Ostara's Altar ~ Flora


We hail the Goddess of spring, of vibrancy, of stirring bounty,
of the waking earth, that readies itself for the seed.
We hail the Goddess of sunshine, and cycles, 
and changes, and all good and terrifying things.
We pray for fertility in our works, 
of minds, and hearts, and hands.
We pray for blessings, and the gift of hope’s manifestation.
We hail the Goddess of spring, as Her bounty covers the land.
Ostara, be Thou praised. ~ Galina Krasskiva

Ostara's Altar April 1 - 15


It's time once again for Ostara's Altar, a seasonal event featuring your favorite Gothic, Fantasy and Alternative creators, who have been working hard to bring a touch of spring color and lightness to our magical world.


Ostara's Altar is being held in the brand-new Dark Passions shopping region which is absolutely gorgeous! 
Come spend a day wandering through the market and discover all the hidden photo spots.


Besides offering unusual and EXCLUSIVE merchandise at wonderful prices, watch for eggs like the one I'm holding. 
Each merchant has put out at least one egg, which could be hiding anywhere in the event. Hunt Eggs might be any size and are usually fairly close to the merchant's booth. Pay a L$10 finder's fee to take the egg and get some wonderful extra goodies!

Aii & Ego Twilight Ink Tattoo


Aii & Ego offer something truly unique in the MAIN STORE

Twilight Ink Animated Tattoo comes in 23 shades. The full-body tattoos are in constant motion. They first appear at the root chakra and then grow in intensity as the color moves over the upper torso, arms and legs and fades almost immediately, creating a sense of movement that is as mesmerizing as a tide.


Last Kiss Outfit is the latest clothing release. The outfit includes Suit, Sleeves, Stockings, Shoes, Horns, 
and Jewelry, all of which can be worn together or separately in a huge variety of colors, metals and gemstones. I covered it extensively HERE .
