New Stuff

DINING

I have several pretty new Dinner Party II dining sets -- touch the table top and choose dinner or dessert for 2, 4, or 6, along with wine, glasses, cups, coffee, bread, salad, etc! When you clear the table, rez the centerpiece.

You can now buy two food boxes to add to the Dinner Party II sets -- one is steak, baked potato, salad, and French bread, and the other is lasagna, salad, and a roll. These are for place settings for 2, 4, or 6, rectangular tables only. More boxes are planned, but these are a start!

Most items in the store are now sold individually, but you can still get the set discount --if you buy a complete set -- 6 or more chairs, table, rug, two other pieces of furniture -- you get a refund of $500, so even if the sets are not boxed, you still get the set discount. There are signs in the store explaining how to get the discount. Just IM me when you have bought a set and I will refund!

BARS

I have two new bars -- one a Tiki with a detachable covered deck, so it can go indoors or out (and a matching patio set is available), and one a Soho in gleaming steel and granite. You touch the top of the counter and they rez various bottles and drinks, and when you touch those, you get one to sip!

They come with lots of linked copyable glasses and bottles, and a copyable matching stool. The Tiki comes with a lighted ceiling fan and the Soho with two hanging lights. I also have my original "Cheers" bar that looks like an upscale pub, and comes with a stained glass surround.






RUGS

I got a new rug shipment in -- some really pretty ones, especially Aubussons! My rugs have two prices: if they are the highest resolution that SL allows, and will stretch to any size without getting blurry, they are 98L; if they are lower resolution, they are a little less. I will not sell rugs that have too low resolution to look good in a normal sized room arrangement.

La Galleria gets a new home!

There is a (short) story behind La Galleria's move to its own island. When I started getting low on prims and thought about getting my own sim, I told myself that I could not have a sim of my own until I had used the prims I had wisely and well.

I made myself get rid of anything that was not selling (no matter how much I liked it) and I looked at everything in the store very carefully to see if I could improve it. And guess what? There was a lot I could improve! So that's why I am so focused on upgrading and updating - it is a way to keep creating without using more prims! In fact, a lot of the updating was finding ways to cut prims.

But finally I ran out of prims. Now that I have prims to spare, though, I have discovered the value of making good things better and I intend to continue.

Have it Your Way

I am very aware that many of my customers are artists for whom their home is their artistic medium. They have a passion for creating a beautiful environment. This is why I like to offer lots of options, and have signs all over the store saying so. For example, I use a lot of light fabrics because they can be tinted any color. (Much of the wood can be darkened or lightened as well.) This is also why I have not boxed up all the Dinner Party II dining sets -- so people can mix and match tables and chairs of the same woods. (And I have been known to change the pillow fabric or even the fabric on the entire sofa or chair.)

Coming Soon

I started out making the Dinner Party tables with either lasagna or steak dinners, but soon I will box these up so that whichever one is not in your table, you will be able to buy and add to it. It's a pretty simple procedure. Next will be another dessert besides cheesecake. I have several but have not decided on one. Options for the Hostess tables will be next. And eventually I will have more for the Dinner Party tables: Greek, Asian, Tex Mex to begin with.
