“Look Mom! I told you I was making friends” Roxie and I met up for a girls night out. The goal was to find twinkle lights, live music and great dessert. We were so thrilled to find all three, plus get front seats right next to this pretty water fountain! I had such a great time and would love to hang out again! I’d say this girls night out was a success.

Thanks to Frankie @simplyimaginarypeople for this fun challenge and to @velvetpxl for sending me her lovely Roxie Winters!
freya is normally such a shy baby but she took the biggest shining to gracie - @simsdeogloria - that she didn’t want her to leave ♥
Office Signs 4t3 Conversion
Two new office signs for your towns. Big thanks to the wonderful @bill-l-s4cc and his TOU that allows conversions. He has so many wonderful signs that I hope to do more in the future.
Landgraab Realty Office Sign: 3,938 polys Goth & Villareal Law Offices Sign: 20,518 polys (Yes this sign is VERY HIGH POLY! It does have a LOD M which is about 6,000 polys which is more reasonable, and I figure this isn't an item you'll use all over a lot, but just realize that is high.)
One recolorable preset, and three non-recolorable presets. Found under paintings and posters for $50 simoleons

As a side project I decided to build in Saint Greer Islands. I was inspired by the latest Syboulette Boulangerie set to build some Parisian style buildings, and it's turned into wanting to try to fill Saint Greer with some traditional French style builds. I'm quite in love with how it turned out, with the bougainvillea on the back and the fountains in the garden (landscaping is still the hardest part for me). The plan is to have the mayor and city planner with private offices inside, with a large meeting room and then a courtroom and law office upstairs. I think it looks a little busy with all the trees in the front, once I've filled in some of the surrounding lots I might revisit it and simplify if needed, but for now I gives it such a lush presence. So for now, here is the finished exterior of the Town Hall (which translates La Mairie in French, how lovely).
Blown away by the beautiful world of Rosewood Park by @gruesim. Fell in love with this little cottage that has a big back garden overlooking the sea and had to start decorating.
In Gracie’s lovestory I had planned that she had broken off an engagement in the past and had trust issues from it. But onto new households now so poor Gracie is in limbo. Maybe she’ll get her happy ending one day
“Wow Nellie, I’m so happy for you and Frank. Congratulations.”
Nellie smiled and blushed a bit, “Thanks Gracie. You know you’re coming to my bridal shower right?”
“I wouldn’t miss it. Plus I want to steal some of that lavender you’ve been growing and see if it will grow as pretty in my garden as in yours.”
“Please do,” she took another bite of her cake. “This stuff is good”
“Not as good as yours I’m sure” Gracie smiled and looked outside, distracted by a small finch.
“So, any guys in your life?” Nellie asked gently.
Gracie shook her head no and tried to hide the hurt in her eyes. “Nope” she said bravely. “Not since…”
Nellie reached out and put her hand on Gracie’s arm, “It’s okay. You’ll find the right one soon enough”
Gracie tried to smile as she finished her coffee. “What do you say we take some pictures before leaving? This place is too cute not to, don’t you think?”

Another old simblrssimplyforfun challenge but I loved the result. Also how pretty does Isla Paradiso look in the background?
Simblr Simply For Fun: Raffle Skins for Make Over
This month in the raffle I rolled a skin for a base sim make over (I won Frankie’s bases in Challenge Two almost a year ago!), so here’s my make over! I’m actually really proud of this one! Meet Malia Kahale! You can see the original base’s thumbnail side by side with the current version. I thought she looked kinda Hawaiian so I used that as my inspo. I used the Fleur skin from the challenges and wow I fell in love. I’ll update soon with a link to download if you want Malia, so the rest of her outfits are previewed under the cut below if you want to see more.
@gruesim @simblrsimplyforfun Could I have the Maisy Skin please?

I can’t ever take a photo without her coming up to see what’s going on! Haha, gotta love this sweet fluffy feline.

Gracie sat beneath the warm sun, her nose in a book and the nagging feeling in her mind that she should put on more sunscreen. She peaked up from her book as a group appeared and began setting up volleyball nets. There chatter slightly annoyed Gracie, as she missed the sound of simply the ocean and seagulls.
Gracie sat up with a huff and switched from her current pleasure read, a Jane Austen of course, to a work book she’d been meaning to read on effective tutoring for struggling students. She pulled out her pencil case of highlighters and note cards and switched to study mode, reapplying sunscreen and begrudgingly trying to keep her hair out of her face.
“Grace?”
Gracie’s eyes widened as she looked up to find Matt starring down, a casual smile on his face. ”H..h..heeey” Gracie said slowly. She suddenly felt very exposed both from his critical eyes of her note cards and in her current lack of full clothing.
“What are you doing Grace?”
It’s Gracie, she thought to herself as she shut her book and set it on top of her supplies to hide her obsessive organization. “Oh you know, a teachers summer life. All play and no work doesn’t sit well with my kind. Figured I’d get ahead on my reading while I still have time.”
He quirked an eyebrow at her and she felt even smaller beneath his towering stature. Her mind filled with excuses but her lips couldn’t swallow any of them. He looked indecisive for a moment before offering her his hand. “Come on”
“Where?” It was her turn to quirk and eyebrow and look at him as if he had a second head.
He smiled and shook his head in unbelief. “Into the water smarty pants. Let’s go, I command you to have some fun.”
She grabbed his hand and took a leap of faith to trust him.
