Leaving Downs

It is close to time: Time for RL to get my attention. It is tinged with sadness, but as I build a new home in RL I must close my homes in SL. I am putting my lovely home at Caledon Downs on the market. I would like to find it a new owner. One who will be faithful, and tasteful and creative and a steady payer of tier and otherwise a genuine right sort for Caledon!

A new space I have created-very restful

Bunnies For Sale

So.. I spent the weekend obsessing about rabbits The bottom line is.. I now know a bit more about it, but the pricing seems quite inconsistent across the grid. Tonight I just TPed over and again. My goal was to try to understand how the prices apply. What the hierarchy of rareness is. To find a pattern. Didn't discover it. There are a couple of things that were obviously highly sought after such as HOTOT (eyeliner bunnies) and Castor.. and a couple of others that I couldn't afford even think about but after that.. then what? Seems two floppy ears are more valuable than one. So I go home .. and I have some. White shiny bunnies attract more advertising... have some of those... A few colours in the Rex line.. tick Jewel eyes.. almost a compulsory for me after my first reckless purchases. I see that black has been retired so maybe it will be scarcer.. they certainly look stunning. So I invest in a couple.. get home to find I already had some. I didn't spend much on any of them except one white so I don't know. Maybe I am just an exceptional shopperer?? I have littered my sims with bunnies. I think I will have to build some kind of book case as I am now completely confused about what I have and where they are :) meanwhile, you can find bunnies for sale at Caledon Downs and Caledon Southend

Bunnies Take Over My Mind

I said I wouldn't
I did
It began like this

Now...out of control

Bunnies Everywhere!

I am now breeding and selling the babies off cheaply to try and pay off an expensive Saturday!

Gardening

I have been pottering around in Second Life today. Not rushing to finish a project but just having a bit of a mental wander. I have been doing some gardening at Caledon Downs and I think that the block is really looking quite nice now.

Down by the house, below the veggie patch I have a workspace where I can propagate seeds and pot up the iris when they need to be split form the sets in the garden.

I have been spending quite a lot of time lately on Moppet dresses and in my absence, a spider took up residence on my trowel. Taz, being a pom and unused to their company, has a reluctance to share his spaces with spiders but I am quite happy with them. I left the spider alone and went about my business.

I will wander round the garden tonight, check that all is in order, then head down to Tanglewood and finish the house there.

Gardening in Caledon Downs

When Des passed the parcel to me, he indicated that the block should have a forresty feel to it. That suits me fine though the orignal placement of the trees didn't work for me. The houses seemed to sit separate to the garden rather than in it.

As they were not my trees, I couldn't shift them, so I have returned a couple and replaced them. I am not finished with this place yet but I have a beginning to the kind of place I want it to be. Last time I got to this stage, Victoriana vanished. I hope this time my garden lasts long enough to finish. Long enough for me to spend some time there. Maybe long enough to coax the tiger to visit.

Under Instructions

I have been told i must post a blog! His regal Highness, the tiger Tzaizqan has insisted that I must blog while he suns himself.
hurrrumph!
I actually have been so busy I do not have time to blog.

I have been busy making things for the Raglan Sci Fi and Space 4th Birthday celebration. And that means I haven't made any progress at all on the new blocks and moving in and making them look inhabited.

I thought I would for the sake of history, show a shot of each of the places I currently have an interest and why I am chasing my tail!

Raglan's 4th Bday
Because I have a shop in Heron Shire, which is part of Raglan, I get to put a vendor up when they hold special themed events. This works pretty well for me as a tier offset as the sales are generally quite good. The Heron Shire shop is slow business so I am looking at relocating within Raglan. Fingers crossed!!


Heron Shire
Today I was busy building tiny things (Tiny Arthur Moppet and the Balmain Space Buggy) at my completely under-developed block at Caledon Downs. It's my main prim home. Lots of prims to play with.
1100 prims
yum

I still haven't done anything but plonk a house there so that it doesn't look abandoned and I am feeling a little guilty about the look of the place. Still, I was building like a demon to get my tiny things done when I got an IM from Kaye Robiani inviting me to join her new sim Honfleur Harbour.

Honfleur is based on a French Provincial feeling

She has let me set up shop in the store, second from the right. It is very lovely and I am again crossing my fingers and hoping that this is another great opportunity.

I have hardly even had time to whizz by Tanglewood, though I did have a long talk with my neighbour from there, Newbitt. And have had many a chat with my next door neighbour, Valerian. It is very very nice to have chatty people round me once more.

And finally I flew by my home, Caledon Southend to take a photo. I still have it set as home. Funny. A sentimental accident. My original home sim in Caledon has stayed my home sim since I first bought land there as Heppi.

Right now I am chatting away with Muse.. and you know.. it is good to be home

Very Happy

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
prims!
Rolls round tossing them in the air!

I landed in SL this afternoon and saw that Des was about and hoped that maybe my Tanglewood transfer was about to happen. Usually though he is drowning in IMs and requests, so rather than jumping on him with another request for attention, I gave a wave to ISC and wondered if I should get into some dress making while waiting for my tiger to stir or prepare a RL meal.
Next minute, Des says to ping him.
Ahah! I think he is ready for Tanglewood!
Nope, that notecard hasn't made it through .. instead he is looking at a couple I sent him about my prim lust and he has a couple of options for me!
He mentions a very delish quantity of prims in Caledon Downs. Downs is right next door to Southend and I have always had a soft spot for it. He TPed me over, and it was a done deal!

Next I send him a copy of the tanglewood notecard, we zip over there and it is all sorted!

Final step is to show the now awake tiger our new home!
Done!

I am happy. Really very happy!
