Roawenwood: Design & Craft

It’s tuesday… it’s tuesday!  **does a lil jig and dance twirling around in the early morning**

Which means it is the first of the 25L tuesdays where 10 generous merchants are picked from a list of participants to offer up something for just a few lindens.  This weeks vendors include names like Little Tasta, IMPulse, Fantasia, and and…. **dramatic pause inserted here** Roawenwood!

Sign up at the kiosk at any participating merchant to receive a list of stores each week that will be a part of it.

Todays special @ Roawenwood:

A previously unreleased chore for sale for the low price of 25L’s just for today… after that it will be released as a normal part of my chore line.

I also switched out the newbie gift.  Residents under 30 days can get a free outfit, this time I picked something a little more versatile.  One of the Gunnhilde kirtle/camisk sets.  It is the one in cornflower, a light blue color but it has a lot of options.  Three different skirts for the kirtle, a rope belt, and the top is a camisk so kajira or bond maid can wear it.  If you’re under the 30 day mark all you have to do is click on the sign at the freebie area to receive it.

Take care and have a great day!

I’m not entirely sure where to start this lil note.  This is the type of thing that really bugs me but sometimes you feel so damn powerless to do anything about it that you don’t speak up.

Copying, copybot type of stuff.  There has been a rash recently even worse than before that has been copying illegally items made by content creators and people are not only scared but infuriated by it.  So what do we do?  We try our best to protect ourselves I suppose but something has to be done.

And they’re off!!

Today’s the day!  Are you going to race and see how many roses you can find?

The grand prize winner receives 45,000L!!

There are over 203 participating locations and Roawenwood is proud to be a part of this wonderful event.  SLURL’s for participating merchants can be found on the Hope Hunt Blog along the side.  You can also search events for the hunt, some have made event listings for it.

There are 10 roses hidden at my main location on the five blades sim.

Lil note (( Sept 28th)) ::  Seems like one of my roses is M.I.A.  While it’s sorted and all I guess there is only 9 at the moment.  Bleh, but at least they all seem to be working right!

Each rose has a gift inside.

You can pick up the HUD to keep track of how many roses you find at the landing point, just click the spot on the sign for the Hope Hunt to receive.

The hunt and race lasts from Sept. 27th – Oct. 17th.

Good luck and cross your fingers that all goes well!

Not much to say because I’m still workin hard on getting things around for October.  Trying to not release too much, trying my best to be patient and not do what I usually do which is to release as I go.

Ohhhh I almost forgot!  The Hope Hunt and Race starts on the 27th.  The concept of it is not only a prize hunt, which I will admit that I have placed out 10 roses… and each rose has a prize.  So that means at Roawenwood you can get 10 different prizes from the roses when you find them to click.  The race part is where you go around to different participating vendors and find their roses too.  The person who finds the most roses ends up winning a prize pot of lindens.

This is a race that had to be redone from earlier this year due to some issues with the database, which is supposed to be fixed to run smoother now.  The prizes are as follows (if nothing has changed, which I don’t think they have.)

The Grand Prize is 45,000L

2^nd Prize is 25,000L

3^rd Prize is 10,000L

So what else am I doing or up to lately…. hmmmm…. ohhhh, well I did get some stuff together and a few ideas for some discount type camisks.  I know that not everyone has the lindens to be able to spend a lot, so I am trying to offer a special selection of items in the clothing area for less than what I normally charge.  The first offering of this type is a set of sheer camisks, 9 different colors.

I picked up one of those lucky dip things from the lucky chair place, I’m thinking of throwing some of them into that too, so then you could get em for free.  *chuckles*

Till next time…. I hope ya’ll have a great week.

Well the Macabre Hunt started this week and I had my stuff out… everything all set up.  Great fun, tried coming up with something a lil different/fun… outside the kind of things that I usually do.

The hunt theme is twisted fairy tales type of deal so I chose Hansel and Gretel, yanno… as a lover of cages/bondage and miscellaneous fun the whole thing where he’s caged up fit right?  Sooooooo I made a thing…… sorta inspired by someone elses idea too…. and then today, when flipping through websites and other blogs found out that someone else within the hunt basically made almost the exact same thing.

Made different… different spin on same concept, but I am alas quite frustrated that it happened.  I don’t know the other person and have never spoken to them or even been to their store… so it is all quite coincidental but now I’m left to wonder what to do.  Do I pull my item, come up with something quick to replace it with or do I leave it… knowing that it is a bit different, my interpretation and was not done on purpose?

I don’t know.  *sighs*

Soooooooooooooo anyone doing the hunt and sees the similarities and if they ever happen across here…. (which I doubt) I know and it sucks.
