Updates, new releases, gifts, and more!

Rose Manor Update!

If you own the Rose Manor and would like to be on the update list, send your name to Turbokitty in IM, with info about approximately when you purchased it, to help her confirm the purchase.  Here are a couple of pics of the newly updated version:

This week's new release is the Silver or Black Modern Dinner Party Table

I made two dining tables for 6 this week, a sort of mesh update of my modern black and silver tables. The tables are sold separately so you can pick whichever chairs you like or use some you already have. Please read the Mix n Match signs in the store to see how to get a 25% discount off dining sets purchased as individual pieces.

********  CLEARANCE ********
We have made a clearance section in the dining dept., like we have in the Living, Kitchen, and Office depts.  These are not displayed inworld except in boxes, but on the marketplace you can see the listing with pictures.  Because you cannot inspect them inworld, they are at a reduced price.

 ***********  GIFT ************
I found this really cute 4-panel picture frame -- comes with black or white frme. It is copy and mod so you can add your own pics by dragging them to the picture panels.  With the new dining furniture S of the Landing Point.  They are copy and mod.

New releases/ updates/ promo/ gifts!

I am still working on the Rose Manor update (to mesh trim), but this week in anticipation of Valentine's Day (oh I will have so much in the coming weeks!) I also updated my Lover's Table for two, with all kinds of gorgeous things that rez from a menu, and fabric change choices.  It is now mesh (tho most of the rezzing items are sculpted).  The new table is only sold separately for now, so you can choose whichever chairs you would like to go with it.   Exclusively at La Galleria.

I do take note of customer requests, although at this point my "To Do/ To Make" list is several pages long. One request was for a curio cabinet to hold the boxes in your La Galleria Box Collection.  I came across a simple mesh curio cabinet and thought it had possibilities, so I retextured it and added legs and a back to it, and I think it looks pretty good.  It comes in three colors but it is copy mod so you can tint it any color you like. Only 49L!  Right by the landing point.

*******   Tips of the Week  **********

To see the new materials, which make things look shinier or have more 3D texture, turn on Advanced Lighting in the Graphics tab of your viewer. Will really make things pop!  If you have a less powerful computer or graphics card, it will not cause lag if you do not turn on shadows and other features.


Also lots of good tips on my Homeowner's Guide http://lagalleriasl.blogspot.com/p/sl-homeowners-guide.html  , including how easy it is to re-rez a house in the exact same position.


If you can edit a linked prim you can mod, unlink, copy etc just about anything!  And it is SO simple. If you dont know how, take a look at my instructions  here: http://lagalleriasl.blogspot.com/p/learning-how-to-modify.html   You will be glad you did!




*******  Gifts ********

I made this new Marble and Copper Compass box to add to your La Galleria Box Collection, but could not decide which size to make it so I made three. They are copy, and inside the display cabinets by the landing point.

House Updates, Gift, and New Release!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season :-) 


I took a little time off but this week while I am working on a Rose Manor update* I did make a new Mix n Match dining set out of a high-style glass top black marble pedestal table.  Exclusively at La Galleria.

The set is not boxed yet but under my new Mix n Match policy you can buy a table and any 4 chairs -- not just the ones I have displayed  with it -- and receive a 25% discount off the individually purchased price.  More info is on the Mix n Match signs in the dining dept.

You can find it in the dining department.



********  House Updates ******

If you own the Somerset or Midsomer Cottage, leave your MAIN house box rezzed inworld for at least 24 hours to receive your updated house.

* I am working on an update for the Rose Manor -- stairs, columns, windows, loft -- which eventually will extend to other houses with the same floor plan, as well as the Rose Mansion.  It will take me several weeks to finish the Manor, but if you are a Rose Manor owner, please IM Turbokitty to 1) put your name on the verified update list and 2) tell her about when you purchased the house so she can check records,  and when the update is ready you will receive one.

BTW, if you are a non-mesh homeowner and notice an updated version of your house, just IM me with approximate date of purchase and  I will send the update.

**********  Gift **********

I came across this lovely ginger jar by Katelyn Barom, and bought it to pass along to you. It is copy so you only need one.

It is in the room setting with the new table.

SO much going on this week!

Happy Holidays!!

***********  New  Mix and Match Policy ************

I like to encourage creativity and individuality in decorating.  To do that I am reintroducing an old La Galleria policy:  Mix and Match.  Want to put together your own room sets but still receive the discount of a set?  Now you can make your own set and receive a 25% discount:

* Buy five pieces of furniture individually from the same department.
* Rugs and accessories do not count as pieces of furniture but are discounted with the set.
* Send Turbokitty a notecard with your transaction info.

In the coming weeks I will be putting together pieces from different sets to give you some ideas.:-)



**********   New Mix n Match Dining Rooms **********

I made some new dining tables -- both in distressed wood, contemporary style, one with glass top, and console tables to go with them.  I also made a new less tailored style slipper chair and a Parsons chair, in a bunch of different fabrics: linen, suede, leather, prints. From these you could make dozens of different dining sets! 

*********  House Updates ********

The pretty all - mesh English Cotswold Cottage and the updated Somerset and Midsomer Cottages are now available in the vendor-rezzer, just north of the landing area. I will be sending out the updates this week so keep your main house box rezzed to scan for updates.  It will scan once every 24 hours.

Also, to add to your La Galleria coffee table, kitchen island, patio table, or rezzing console, cocoa and cookies, with display mug (which does not rez). Touch for a cookie and mug of steaming swirling cocoa with gently rotating marshmallow.  Find it near the Party Table, by the kitchens.

On the same table, two free sculpted snow globes, and a pretty Christmas Tree mesh one, in copy version, and a trans version for a keepsake gift.  Look closely to see the snowflakes.

*********  Holiday Ham Dinners for 4 ********

On the wall by the kitchens you can now find the Holiday Ham dinner for the small square or round Dinner Party tables (only for Dinner Party tables).  Has six different china patterns, including Christmas. To get items to "wear" and eat/eat with, touch something and it will go directly to your hand, no digging in inventory!  All exclusively at La Galleria.

**********  Gifts ***********

See above ^^. 






Above the front porch is a Christmas Windchime -- touch to turn chimes on/off.

Also, I made this cute mesh plaque to hang by your doorway,  on the front doorframe of the English Cottages just North of the Landing Point. Exclusively @ La Galleria

Out front of the English Cottages, a Christmas mailbox:

BTW -- I make a lot of the gits and promo items myself, just because it is fun for me to make gifts, but when I see some cute full perm mesh kit I think you would like, I will buy and texture it and pass it along!

This week's gifts and NEW/UPDATED Cottage preview!

My computer graphics card died so I didnt get as much work in this week as I wanted, but you can see a preview of my new house, the Cotswold Cottage, which is an updated, white version of the Somerset and Midsomer.  It is just North of the central landing point.  I will get it packaged up in the next few days -- I have temporarily removed the vendor that rezzes the other versions of the cottage until I do.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/LaGalleria%20Prefab%20Homes/251/7/29

In the next couple of weeks I will also be updating the Somerset and Midsomer, so make sure you have your house box rezzed to scan for the update.  The house has new windows and doors, new texturing, and the ability to tint the inside walls separate from the outside one.

Gifts are out front of the Cotswold Cottage -- take a look:

Plus a snowman!!
