Night Spirits @ Midsummer Enchantment

By the moon we sport and play

With the night begins our day

John Lyly in the Maydes Metamorphosis 1600 (Act II)**

Midsummer Enchantment celebrates all sorts of magical folk and provides for their special interests. As I stood on a hill overlooking the event, I was really impressed at how beautifully the region has been decorated and the variety of talented souls represented in the shops. Whether you need something to augment your magical life or an amazing locale for pictures, don't miss the opportunity to visit.

The EXCLUSIVE Hazel Dress from [QE] Designs sets the tone for the rest of the look. It's not your typical "fairy" dress comprised of a floofy ballet-style costume, but certainly fits my idea of what a forest fae should wear. The textures and openwork bands trimmed with beaded knotwork take it a step beyond the ordinary [6 Classic Gainsborough-style floral prints / 6 trim colors / 8 bead colors] *
EXCLUSIVE Lovelysweet Enchanted Forest Eyes [9 colors for EvoX] *
Exclusive Lolapop! Fuss Face Makeup blue w freckles [6 colors for EvoX with or without freckles] *
MooH! Pearl Headpiece [10 metals / 10 pearl colors / diamond colors ] *
EXCLUSIVE Eventyra Goddess Moonrise Nails complete the look [6 Colors] *

Welcome to Midsummer Enchantment June 24 ~ July 8

Come in, have a cup of tea. We have cookies! We also have the most creative fantasy, gothic and "dark" designers in Second Life, who have gathered to present works of esoteric expression for the magickally inclined. Whether your preference is Fae, Witch, Goth, Gorean, Boho, Mer or Other, you'll find something you'll love at this event!

The event is held in a beautifully landscaped environment that will work magic on your soul and make you forget about the steamy weather as we celebrate the turning of the wheel of the year.

Come shop, relax and enjoy the beauty of Midsummer Enchantment!

In addition to new items, there are EXCLUSIVES, and a L$10 - L$25 Hunt. Look for potion bottles like the one I'm holding in the picture. Potion bottles may be inside the shops or scattered throughout the region. There are no hints for the hunt, but none are really needed if you have a sharp eye. (In fact, if you look closely at the photo, you just might see a hunt bottle hiding in the background.)

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
