Roawenwood: Design & Craft

This week I’m giving you the weekly newness that is hunts, store news, contest winner and other goings on!  I don’t have a new item for sale BUT I do have two new hunt gifts and a CoLab release!  I missed the 60L list this week however on tues. I am doing the 25L list.

·!¦[·      CANDY CANE LANE - COLAB KIT #35        ·]¦!·

CoLab is a great group of people who work with a theme every couple of weeks and then offers that piece for no more than 60L during the round.  It’s a lot of fun and the theme this time was Candy Cane Lane.  My offering for it is a little rp item or whatever you’d like to use it for.  A sweets trolley or handcart to push around during your festive season.   Near the new arrivals section and marked for 60L, I still have the previous rounds fireplace down there for the 60L too if you want it.

·!¦[·      RENAISSANCE & TENTACLE ADDICTS HUNTS     ·]¦!·

Greetings Happy Hunter types, for those so inclined two hunts started on the 1st.
The Renaissance hunt started and I have an item hidden inside a tiny gargoyl at my landing.  This hunt also has a ‘faire’ for the starting point with a mini-hunt going on to get it going. (The prize is a nice set that’s a bit rustic looking too but I didn’t take a pic of it. heh)

The Tentacle Addicts hunt I’m on the adult path.  There’s the PG, and the adult…. of course I had to have some fun with it.  I made up a tentacle trap just for something different.  If you’re interested that’s hidden down here too.

Don’t forget the other hunts running… Candy Cane 3, and the Traditional Christmas hunt.

It’s here!!!!!!!!!

Ok, maybe you didn’t hear me….

IT’S HERE, IT’S HERE!  *bounces around in circles eyes shining before collecting herself, clears her throat fluffs her hair a few times then settling upon one of the perches around the landing before jumping back up with a bell in her hand clanging it madly.*   IT’S HERE!  IT’S HERE!

·!¦[·      TWISTED HUNT FALL 2011 - UNSEELIE        ·]¦!·

I have had SOOOOOOOOO much fun with this theme you can’t even imagine.  I might have gone a little overboard but I had planned on doing this stuff for the most part anyhow.

The main prize is twisting and turning not too far from the landing point for you to find… I had to be a teeny bit devious, there’s a couple decoys.  *coughs* but I was nicer than some folks, least mine don’t tp you to different spots around the store!

The starting point of the hunt is if you want to go from the beginning:  http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lasombra/121/170/25

|I{•——» COURT OF THE UNSEELIE MINI HUNT «——•}I|

Over tucked along the flagstones there’s a small space where you will find a set of dark ruins where the Unseelie hold their court.  There are NINE gifts hidden amongst the rubble and grasses…. Seriously, I wasn’t planning on quite that much but then I couldn’t decide which ones to not use so you got them all.

|I{•——» TWISTED GACHA «——•}I|

The CUTEST little sit spot for foresty types or whoever, perfect for your garden and they’re in the gacha so each one is ONLY 15L, the BEST part?!  I made them transfer so you can collect, or trade them up as you get them if someone else is nearby who wants the color you have.  Each one has a different sit or fun pose to play with.  There’s 7 different colors

╚»╚»   They’re in the Twisted Skully Gacha Machine near the Twisted Easel at the landing point  «╝«╝

|I{•——» TWISTED SOUVENIR «——•}I|

I’ve been contemplating rotating out the souvenirs each week so there is a new one each week for the hunt, which would make 4…. so in that spirit here’s the first one.  Twisted Hunt folks will appreciate the fun in it.   It’s out for sale at the base of the easel at the landing point.

·!¦[·      LUCKY CHAIR UPDATES        ·]¦!·                                               

It’s the first, which means I like to update this anyhow but also because of the start of the hunt it’s -perfect- timing.  I left the Faylinn outfit in there for now but added two other little accessories in honor of the color scheme and hunt theme.   There’s a pair of wings, and a new set of leggings.

Yay!! Congrats and Thank You for being a part of my SL!!

I’m going to get my backside around and do the 60L weekend sale again too so you have that to look forward to if all this isn’t enough.  Other than that… I am not sure what else to say.  I stayed up wayyyyyyy too late trying to get things done for the hunt, and things will be shifting and changing throughout the month!!  Take care and have a great rest of your week!

This week I’m not doing much of a big update… I’m really really busy.

You want to know one reason why I’m so busy?!  *nearly bounces out of her chair, tries to contain herself*  THE TWISTED HUNT IS COMING!!!  *breathes in through the nose then exhales slowly, grins*  I just simply ADORE this hunt, I have so much fun with it… and guess what?!  I’m one of the sponsors again.  Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee…….

Twisted Hunt starts on September 1st.  The theme this time is “Unseelie”, and I’m already having some fun with it.  I’m working on some awesome gifts, a mini hunt, sales, souvenirs the whole nine-yards…. I think I’m going to see about adding something to the end game too.  Over 300 vendors applied for it this time around though they have capped it at just over 200.  I was floored.  The organizers felt terrible having to turn away folks as it is but had to think of the hunters… more than that is just too big and too hard.

Anyhow!!!  I just can’t resist…. I wanted to give a lil twisted teaser for ya’ll.

·!¦[·      NEW GROUP GIFT        ·]¦!·

This past week I had a long time customer make a request.  It really isn’t anything that major but asked for an icebox type thing that matches the Manor House set in the kitchens area.  Eh, why not… I refuse though to call it a chilla or whatever it is.  *grins*  It’s an icebox!

Now this isn’t that big of an item really, an accessory really so I figured why not.  I’m going to give it to my groupies as a thanks for hanging in there with me.  So group members of the in world group “The Roawenwood” can come down and find it in the Kitchen/Bakery building.  Wear your group tag and click the box on the wall to receive it in a folder.

╚»╚»    It’s in the Kitchen & Baked goods building    «╝«╝

There is also the CoLab kit out for this round… it was a Southwest type theme, I end up reworking my one loom which really was a variant from the Navajo weaving looms anyhow.  It looks really good, very rustic in its own sense with some added accessories.  It is available right now for a limited time for 60L while the round is going.  It will run through this next Thursday I believe so if you want one you have to come get.  After that I will be adding it to the chores section at a normal type price.

That’s it for now.  Talk to you soon.

I know I haven’t updated in a week or two… of course there has been newness in the store.  A really awesome new bed amongst other things but…. but…. I’m sittin here writing because I’m soooooooo excited.

One of my very favorite things in SL is coming!  I’ve been patient, I’ve tried to be good I swear.

TWISTED HUNT IS COMING!

I got the application to apply for it just yesterday.

I of course scrambled to send it in and now there is the wait…. did I get in?  I’ve been in the last two so I’m fairly certain I could be included again though this time they’re capping the hunt at 150 stores.  Last time it was huge, over 200 something I think.  Awesome hunt, twisted fun, lots of trouble.  And the theme…. I’m looking forward to this one.

Last time I did mini-hunts, extra prizes, souvenirs, and sales.  This time I plan on doing a bit again but I don’t plan on rebuilding the store… last couple I actually had the store rebuilt but this time I’m liking how the store is so I’ll leave it.

Keep your eyes peeled though because it’s backkkkk.

·!¦[·    THE TWISTED HUNT KICKS OFF!    ·]¦!·

I am in a –fabulous- mood!  With eyes aglow, deviant grin twisting my visage having finished the final preparations that painstakingly were wrought I welcome you to the spring edition of the Twisted Hunt.  Ahhh sweet surcease of days toil we now embark upon a journey together through a twisted trek that meanders amongst merchant, creator and twisted folk alike… stops along the way, events, surprises and an end game that I hear is more difficult than ever.  I sincerely look forward to this hunt and know that a lot of others do as well.

Roawenwood has not only the main prize that you must find amongst the rubble at the landing zone but a Mini Hunt being held in the graveyard with _FIVE_ more prize sets to be found.  The prizes are ALL EXCLUSIVE to the hunt, and will not be set for sale within the store.   See the notecards and things in world for landmarks and info.  Want a sneak peek of some of the prizes that are being offered?  http://roawenwood.erasthai.net/twisted-teasers/

·!¦[·    TIMELESS ELEGANCE    ·]¦!·

Remember awhile back I released the rugged outdoor shower for rustic rp?  I promised at the time I was working on a more elegant version and I’ve decided to release that this week.  Timeless Elegance is apt for this item I believe having the awesome limited edition shower animations, and a sleek lovely design that I thought turned out real nice.

SPECIAL LIMITED BUY OFFER!!!

Once again I’ve placed out a limited buy vendor… this one set up to sell only 30 copies of the new shower at 50% off!

·!¦[·    GIFT CERTIFICATE SALE    ·]¦!·

Just because I felt like doing it I’ve decided to put ALL GIFT CERTIFICATES near the landing on a 50% off Discount for the next couple days.
