Get a good rest and have a nice vacation!!! I hope, that you can recover quickly.
take all the time you need, love! and have a speedy and smooth recovery! sending healing powder, lots of love and hugs <3

Good morning, my friends, and a very happy September to you!
I logged in today because friends mailed me yesterday that they left birthday gifts and good wishes for me, and so I wanted to say thank you and give a hug to all of you!
I feel a bit better but not quite as well like before March and will take some more weeks off. I can't sit too long in front of a computer, it still gives me pains. I hope to be recovered fully soon but take it slowly to not have a relapse. So I'm trying to be back mid of October at the lastest. We'll have a big contest then to make up for all the lost weeks, promise!
Dear roseredbelle, thank you so much for looking after the group, I hope it's okay when you do it for some weeks more. If not because you're busy, just tell me and I'll make another arrangement. I know it's a big commitment and I'm beyond grateful.
Sending good vibes, hugs, love and aloha to all of you, hope to see you soon and regularly again,
Birgit


Happiest of Birthdays to you! Please take all the time you need to rest and recover❤
Sending well wishes and nothing but good vibes your way! <3
Glad to hear you are taking care of yourself. Hoping you spend the month celebrating your birthday.

here's hoping you feel much better very soon! best wishes to you, your family, and kitties too :D
I'd love to see what everyone was able to grab from the pawnshop this year. Was there anything in there that shocked you?
There was nothing earth shattering in there for me but a lot of really nice grabs I am glad to have. This is the first year I was able to go from page 1 all the way to the end. I did find some cool CWs I'd never seen before and made my current avatar with my interesting findings.
Going through the pawnshop always brings back a lot of memories. I see releases and designs made by friends and friends that have moved on. There are old CWs I remember when they were released. And, also a lot of fashion designs that harken back to my college days that I can't believe actually look dated now. When I looked at pictures of my dad from the 70's when I was the early 2000's his pictures seems so dated but now I am suffering the same fate (even virtually) haha.

I grabbed these:
I am most happy to snag the moon rays. I made a Sailor Moon HA a while back and fell in love with that item only to be told the bad news it was long retired. So being able to snag from PS made me very happy haha :D
Didn’t have much CSC to spend, but I found two items that were on my wishlist. [Item=Foot popping rose]
I indulged mostly in older but wonderful CWs and one of mayla's gorgeous short dresses I didn't have so far. Not too much purchases, though - since I didn't play almost all year, I run dry of CSC quickly, LOL. I really hope to participate more in 2026! The amount of beautiful CWs I clearly missed this year, I didn't dare to look them all up, LOL <3 Sending love to you all! <3

I haven't spent so much this year despite I saved csc for this moment lol but I bought these two WL items: Then I search for shoes -because I need more shoes on my wardrobe- and found this pair. And finally I got this headpiece I didn't know about its existence but it was like love a first sight . I really love autumnal aesthetic. There'are a few more WL items but they're not my top priority right now, maybe next year. And the last thing I do regret not having bought is 😭😭😭 I hope to find it next year.
This time I managed to get some beautiful items - even some that were on my WL! <3 Unfortunately I had little CSC, but if I had more, I definitely would have bought more lol <- THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
I love your grabs! Can't wait to see your Sailormoon HA. I really like the dark blue sweater with the bunny on the half moon; perfect for winter ❄️
Love your avatar with your sweet new pants and pretty golden eyes! That's awesome that you found that frock; I love that feeling of getting a dream CW out of the PS.
All 3 are stunning! I love getting backgrounds out of the PS; it feels like such a good deal. Can't wait to see how you use all 3 :)
Both are great grabs and I love how you used them in your current avatar! Very dreamy
I've missed seeing you around. I hope that you can play more in 2026 too ❤️ Beautiful dress grabs!
I think there are a lot of copies of that wig on site; I hope a copy crosses your path this next year :) I saw those shoes and was surprised they were in the PS; great grab!
That's awesome that both the right and the left ear was in the PS at the same time! Love both dresses!

I love this shoes honestly and I'm quite fond on doing black and white avvies, so I can't wait to make a new one with them. I've another pair in gold that I bought last year and a second pair in opalescent color I bought in 2023 (maybe I'll give them away in future contests 'cause despite I think they're so pretty, they don't match with the rest of my wardrobe 😢).
