SL for Nowt

Alliteration aside, this is a fantastic group gift. Search for Gala and Rita Design Announcements (I used the new search: the first tab on the left, and it was the only result). Join the group (free to join) and check the past notices. Inside you’ll find Free Skin for you all ??? and Hair :D

The skin is a full pack of Gala Phoenix’s ‘Nightshade’ skins, in ten skintones, and including three eyebrow options. The hair is a full pack of Rita Groshomme’s ‘Hipster’ hair, in 33 colours and with a colour-changeable headband.

These group freebies come ahead of the opening of their new sim, Curio, at noon SLT tomorrow (although group members get a sneak preview at noon today). Hurry, because they won’t be in group notices for long!

I took Mar to La Reve for this photo session. She’s wearing the Nightshade skin in ‘opaline’ and the Hipster hair in ‘vamp purple’. Her outfit is the Silent Sparrow group gift, ‘Sylvan’, which I blogged about in my previous post.

As well as the three gorgeous free outfits she has at The Gnubie Store, Hyasynth Tiramisu of Silent Sparrow has put out in her own store a freebie for new avatars less than 30 days old. This was an older group gift, and I can tell you that it’s stunning. I can also tell you to RUN over there and grab it! Silent Sparrow outfits are some of the most beautiful hand-drawn clothing in Second Life, and you want this!

OK, itty-bitty market stall, sweet itty-bitty market stall, but hey… we’ve all gotta start somewhere!

I’ve set out my teensy collection of things in the Baileya Market, which was a part of my rental deal for Mar’s home. I’m still waiting for the rental box to be removed (the owner told me to just set out my prims and the box would be removed) but I can has sales presence? Why yes, I can!

Here’s Mar, surveying her little domain:

The area’s not that great, to be honest: low traffic, and a lot of people on the ban list, so I suspect it gets a few griefers, but since it’s at Coney Island of the Mind, and is full of funfair-type stuff, I guess that’s to be expected. Hopefully soon I can rent a small store in a better area, but while I have so few thing to sell, a big store just isn’t worth it!

To get to the stall, you’ll probably have to take the TP twice (yes, it’s one of those areas that sets you down at a landing point). Either that, or follow the red beam, or… when you land, head North toward the boardwalk, keeping the wooden pier on your left. Once on the boardwalk, immediately turn right, and Del Mar is the second stall on the ground floor on your left, between the voting machine and the ‘new listings at Ravenglass’ sign.

Here’s the SLurl: Del Mar 

I also created a group (search for Del Mar Updates) and nagged a friend to join it, because eek - L$100 to create a group, and it’ll be disbanded if nobody else joins within 48 hours?! I’ll be using it mainly to update in-world about new blog posts and new items for the store as I add them, and also the occasional freebie. Right now, since there should be at least one freebie and an intro post in my new group, I’ve put my garden-in-a-box in there. And yes, I managed to make a typo on my very first group notice… *facepalms*

The notice dropped down: new group freebie at Silent Sparrow. By the time Mar got there, the store was packing out already. A few teething problems with the script (poor Hya, coping with all us lot and not feeling well at the same time) and then we all came away with yet another Silent Sparrow beauty: the Tarnished Suite.

*Note: The necklace is not part of this outfit.
