I'm just joshin' you. It is the week of bookshelves and I'm not complaining; did I mention I adore reading? Between my idiosyncratic desire to obtain more houses than I can feasibly use in SL and the need to fill said houses with bookshelves; I can keep myself entertained.
Remember that the Neighborhood runs from 12:01am to 11:59pm (yes, this is a habit) every Saturday with items marked down from their usual price (whatever that might be) to only 200L for ONE DAY ONLY, and these are just a taste of the things I found fun so far. This week, the stores included are: Trompe Loeil, Floorplan, Kuro, R(S)W, DIGS, Eleventh Hour, Pixel Mode, and junk.
From Eleventh Hour, a Streamline bookshelf that sits on a pipe! Excellent shadows, and the light bulbs do in fact function!
...as in they turn on and off.
...I don't want to know what it is you do with light bulbs in private. These are for illumination.
I don't know if I'm the last to know about Junk, but I rather enjoy their style. Wandering around the store I found a dozen pieces I'd like to add to my home, but for the Neighborhood they contributed an alphabet chest and a pair of apple bookends. For the returning student, of course!
From Pixel Mode this week, we have 'Thought Bubble Bookshelf'. I don't know about you but I get a kick out of inspecting the titles on books in SL, and if you're the same way; this bookshelf will not disappoint. One title: "Cooking for Avatars". Why? Why not!
Mot Shark's quirky finds from Fifty Linden Friday!
Remember: Fifty Linden Friday runs from 12:01am Friday to 11:59pm Friday (okay maybe it's midnight to midnight, but remembering it like this helps ME remember!), so you have to be quick about picking up your sale items!

First of all these Fat Bats from D-Lab, which I want to say come in 'his and hers' judging by the colors but frankly I'm just tickled pink by their adorable hats and goofy smiles!
While you're here, don't forget to check out the group gifts... A little pair of garden gnomes and an 'Uncle Fester' style holdable doll that is a part of the 'family' gacha collection D-Lab has at The Arcade Event this month (running from 9/1-9/31)!
D-Lab always has something delightfully fun up its sleeve, so it is most assuredly a group worth joining and staying in if you enjoy offbeat toys and outdoor decor.
Then we have a fun photo display from Sway, a fluffy 'Memories' cloud that you can set down and add three of your own photos to!
Up next we have two finds from Conspiracy Theory, both of which made me giggle. Naughtical Art, which is some pretty bad innuendo (in YOUR end-o) with a seaworthy theme that you can hang (twice over if you're of the male persuasion) and call your own.
As well as... it's more of a notice from Conspiracy Theory, really. You just lost the game. What is the game? It has just one rule: if you think about the game, you lost the game. While you're chewing on the cycle of defeat, swing by and pick this up to better tease your friends!
More to come later today, I hope!
