When I came back to SL, I was living in my free Linden home for about a week while I was thinking what I should do for a more permanent home.  I lived in a private island for a very long time and I loved the privacy and the freedom to terraform the island to what ever I wanted.  So at one point, I had a medieval village.  At another time, I had a modern house with a beautiful garden.  I loved how I could make anything and change it when I got bored.  But this time, the situation was a bit different.  I needed a house that I can feel comfortable in immediately.  I didn’t think I had the luxury of time to terraform, build a house and decorate it but I still wanted to live in a beautiful environment.

One day, Aris came home all excited.  Apparently, he had gone wandering around different sims and somehow ended up in the sim where the Rose Theater was located.  He then told me that there are furnished apartments we can rent there and he wanted me to come see it.  I fell in love right away and we decided to make this place our home.  So here we are in the beautiful sim owned and built by Kaya Angel called the Angel Manor Estate.  We love strolling around the beautiful garden where there is a riding stable, clay pigeon shooting, a mini golf course, a sanctuary where we can sit down for a nice tea party, an art gallery…there is just so much to enjoy and explore.  We even found a bath like the ancient Roman bath in the basement of the palace!  I am sure we haven’t even seen everything yet.

Another thing I am loving is that being a resident of this place, I can rez my pose stand anywhere on this vast estate!  So today, I decided to use this grand staircase to shoot a picture for my blog post for the lovely Rita gown in champagne colour from Azul.  It seemed perfect for this elegant gown.

Now if only I didn’t get lost every time I take a stroll…  These are the moments I curse my horrible sense of direction in both RL and SL. 😦
