The Hunt Has Ended!

The has ended! But you can find out more here: http://sl-summerfunhunt.blogspot.com/

Two Hours Left

Only two hours left! Hurry!

Some will be removing right at midnight as they are in the SL Discovery hunt, but me and a few others will be keeping the eggs out a few more days. But don't count on it!

36 is fixed

Sorry sorry, 36 IS fixed. It's HUGE and in the middle of the shop and I'm told you can get a copy.

Two eggs found!

#40 and #50 have been found! They are out. #40 is just upstairs, TINY sign but upstairs, not near the landing point and #50 is by the sign. The person who reported to me that #50 was missing, said the sign was missing, so obviously they had an issue with things rezzing. ;)

Another missing egg

102 is also missing early. Sorry.

OH NO! MISSING EGGS!

Well, it would seem that some of the vendors got ahead of themselves. Instead of going by Second Life time (like they were told) they went by THEIR time... or who knows, all I know is that 3 eggs have been picked up. #40, #49 & #50 that I know of so far. A friend has been trying to go around and get them all, and she noticed these missing.

I am sorry. I don't know why they did it or if there are more. I know I got a message from one person just a few minutes ago asking if it was okay to pick up the egg, so I'm guessing that since another asked, some just assumed it was over. It's not officially over till after midnight tonight.

Sorry for any missed eggs. But other then that, HAPPY HUNTING!

#36 is broken!

There has been an issue lately with some of the hunters buying over 70 eggs. I had someone get that many just the other day. I don't know why, it is a non trans item, and it is a copiable item. But regardless as to why they are doing it, some of the vendors went out and bought a GIVE ONE COPY ONLY script. #36 NDC is such a shop.

And it would seem that now their egg is not working. Which is sad, because it's a great gift. However, I've notified the shop owner and hopefully it will be fixed by tomorrow. In the mean time, here is #37's location.

OOPS! 21 not 22

I corrected the post before, it had said 22 not 21. So got it fixed. But here is the run down.

Dirty Dollies left for petty reasons. They didn't like that they didn't get enough traffic, for one reason. So they just left.

They were #21.

The LM in egg #20 is wrong. You need to go to the NEW location: Market Town

Market Town will take you to the newly added #22: -30 Posters

From there... you know how to get around. :)

#21 is GONE DO NOT GO TO DIRTY DOLLIES

It would seem that #21 has issues with the hunters and traffic. So they have pulled out at the last possible minute. Anyone who gets to #20, the egg is right there in front as you land, but the LM won't do you any good as Dirty Dollies has taken their egg down.

BUT we have something even better then that! Market Town is putting up a very nice egg for anyone who'd like to get a #21 egg. They've put together the cutest thing! So come and get this new one! Don't miss out!

Starting Weds, EGGS LARGE!

Have you missed an egg cause it was too hard? Starting Weds, I've asked all owners to please put the eggs LARGE and in front of the sign so that everyone can go back and get what they missed.

The last two days should be easy for those that missed getting some or getting to the hunt at all.

Now there are some owners that aren't on till the weekends, and I'm sorry, I didn't think to send the note out till today, so there still may be a few that don't even get the message. However, this should make it easier for those that do move them.

Thanks to all the great businesses! This has been a great hunt!

#37 Kisses Boutique is FOUND!

Well, seems there was a misunderstanding. Kisses has MOVED, not dropped out. Because they didn't have a LM giver at the old location and I didn't get the new LM, it appeared they dropped out.

They have been found! Their new location is HERE. If you'd like to pick up your egg, stop on by!

*~Kisses Boutique~* IS GONE!

Well, seems that Kisses is GONE. Had someone jump to #37 just now and it's GONE. So, till I can get another shop in there, if anyone wants in for the last week, just use this SLURL to jump to the next shop!

25 New Shop Bios

Well not NEW. But I hadn't gotten the links on the side panel done up. Tracy kindly added the shops bios to the blog, but as busy (and sick on some days) as I've been I haven't had a chance to add the links to the side panel or the photos. But I'll be adding photos here shortly, sometime today or tomorrow.

In the mean time, you can always check the side panel for the shop listings. There are 25 new ones, and even though they were in the blog, having them added all at once you may have missed your favorite shop!

OOPS! Seems a shop is GONE!

*POOF* The Wasp Nest is GONE! No word, nothing! Just GONE! I know that one of the shops is gone because they closed up, but this is just GONE. No message to me (at least not that I got) nothing to say why they are gone at the site. So... that being the case, there are now only 107 locations since they were 108!

If starting the hunt half way through, and you get to 107 and get the LM to 108, I've tried to contact 107 to put in a new LM. Just come here and use the SLURL for #1. ;)

And HAPPY HUNTING! It's not over yet!

MOVING?!

Several shops have moved while on this hunt. I have tried to keep up with them here, making sure that the LMs are changed and the SLURLs are changed. But sometimes they aren't told to me and I'm not always running around looking. So, if you get lost, there should be a LM giver somewhere at the old location.

Also, AmberMyst is moving! Yep! At the end of the hunt, we will be moving from the location we are at now to a new sim! Look for us in the next few hunts.

What does this mean? It means I won't have the time to do a Summer Hunt. It took a LOT out of me to run this hunt, and with just a little help, there is just NO WAY I can organize another one for a few months. And I know the Summer one would be in 2 months, but things just aren't going to work out that way. As much as I've gotten slaps on the back for a good job, I've gotten slaps in the face for failing in some way in someone's eyes. And moving my whole shop, re-crating everything with new landmarks in them, and all the work that goes into a move of this size, there is no way that I can do it.

Unless something happens where I get more help, the next hunt I organize won't be till Fall.

See you in the hunt!

Tether's End Designs has MOVED TOO!

Hey there! Tether's End Designs has moved to a new sim! They've gotten a new place to house their great items and would like you to check out the new digs!

Yesterday's Closet has moved - Use this SLURL

Well it would seem I spoke before I heard the latest news from a hunter. Seems that 106 has moved. They have a new shop. The problem is, their egg is the OLD egg for 107, not the NEW location. So you must use THIS slurl until I can get them to change it. If it's working, it will have "new location" on the 107 LM. Thanks!

Still Going Strong

Well the numbers may have dwindled, but they always do with hunts as they get on. But you can still find plenty of people doing this hunt. And enjoying it. April Jodra is going to report on her hunt experience, as soon as she can get back online to do it. So watch here for more on that.

Got a fun hunt experience you'd like to have included here? Send it to me along with any photos you'd like included and I'd be happy to post it for you.

Lost?

Now if you are lost, check the side panel for the number of the shop you are on, the next one and it's SLURL. This will help those out that might otherwise have quit. :)

DO NOT BUY FAKE EGGS!

I just got word someone is going around placing fake eggs in the shops and setting them to sell for $10L. At no time would ANY egg in this hunt be set for $10L. All are FREE.

If you run into such an egg, make a comment to this post with the shop name and when you found and any other important information as well as leaving a note card in my inventory (Tiea Aeon) so that I can take care of it.

Thank you and happy FREE hunting!

#88 is fixed! or ALL EGGS NOW WORKING AGAIN

Okay, looks like ALL the eggs are now working. Yeah! Seems that #88 was never really broken, but that there was a "fake" egg sticking out of the barrel. If you go there, and see that, ignore it. The real egg is around. I'm trying to reach the shop owner to remove the egg. As the rules state, NO FAKE EGGS. So let's hope this one disappears soon.

In the mean time, know that there is a working egg. So you can come back and pick up your gift.

New Element Added & News

I've added a "Blogs" link area on the side. It has different freebie blogs as well as some blogs that current store owners in the hunt have. There are a few more that I need to add, but the blogs URLs are in-world and I'm not able to get there just yet. But when I do, I'll update it and add them.

Also, April Jodra has been away for a few weeks, but will be back later today. When she is, she's going to go around and do the hunt and take photos along the way. Which she's going to post for us here. Should be interesting.

Hope all are enjoying the hunt this weekend and I hope things are working out good. I'll be on later as well to make sure things are working smoothly.

One last thing before I go... I went ahead and started a blog for the next hunt, Summer Fun. So keep track of that if you are interested in the next one. Since I don't really have a lot of time right now, it's just a totally basic layout. But will get all that fixed up later. :)

Till later... TTFN!

The Weekend Has Arrived!

The one thing that I liked about starting this hunt mid-week is that the rush to get through it first was a small one. We didn't have to worry about 200 people in one spot having a problem with a single egg. Now that MOST the eggs are fixed, and everything is MOSTLY working, I feel confident that the weekend will be a fun one. Not only for the designers but for the hunters.

Seeing as I haven't had the time yet to go through the hunt, but have had the opportunity to see a lot of the gifts listed on the Flickr page, and those given to me before hand, I know that there will be something for everyone on this hunt.

The gifts vary in style and kind and most have put their best effort into getting you a gift that says "This is who I am, and what I can do for you." I know that with every hunt there are some that don't like a gift they got. I have heard complaints and it saddens me. Not because I think that the designer didn't do good, but because I know they did and that that person just doesn't like that kind of thing but is giving negative feedback to people who might normally like it when that person didn't because tastes all vary.

So don't take someone else's word if you'd like a certain gift. Go on the hunt. Have fun. See for yourself what you like and don't like. And check out all these neat new designers!

OH NO! One last broken egg!

Here I thought that I was going to be able to post that everything was fixed. But it seems when someone moved their egg, they didn't set it back to sale.

#89 "nuvolino" IS BROKEN.. :( Use this LM to get to the next spot. A-Bomb

Neweset Corrections

Okay, I'm back, and checking for those corrections.... Here we go!

#3: Cammi's Creations - People have had a hard time with this one and we do apologize. You are looking for a LM in the box and it's a note card. You need to open the note card to find the shop. When you TP in, turn to your left about half a turn, you will see a shop with surf boards. You want to head towards it and at the end of the pier there is a shop with the Spring Hunt's sign over it. That is what you need.

#8: Yellow Jester - Another one that isn't easy to find. Read his hint. Yes, the egg is REALLY in the house. Promise.

#16: KatKreation - COPY given by accident, not CONTENTS. You need to WEAR it on your hand to pull out LM. Or find a sandbox to unpack. However, to get to #17, just look to the next one to the right LM. ;)

#21: Dirty Dolls - I've gotten complaints that the store is hard to find. Try this: First, when you TP in, you will be facing the wrong way. Turn around and look behind you. Walk forward, following arrows outside. You will come to a wall. Go AROUND the wall. On the opposite side, on the opposite side of the wall, is a PINK area. That is Dirty Dollies. HERE

#49: Sugar Holic: FIXED - Come back and get your gift!

#60: Hectic Moon - FIXED!

#83: Gemmini Genesis: IS FIXED!! Come back and get your gift!

#99: Kyoshiro's Corner : FIXED (hint board removed that had the bad hints)

#107: Yesterday's Closet: FIXED correct LM now to next store.

There are 108 eggs total. Have fun! And if you have a problem with an egg, try the Hunters' hint group. Always check here for updates.

Are You Going To Do Another One?

I keep getting asked this. Or told "If you do another one, I'll be a part of it again."

With everything that has gone wrong, and everything that has gone right, I've had to think seriously about it. In the end, I decided that yes. With health and everything permitting, I will do more.

In fact, I'm going to keep doing them like I have. With a seasonal theme. The next one will be SUMMER. And will be titled: "Summer Fun - A Day At The Beach". To keep them within the seasons, at least the USA seasons, and keep them spread apart in the right order, they will be for a full month, every 3 months. The next one will be in the month of July.

Will there be a limit? I don't know yet. I'm still working the kinks out. But I will take offers to help, as I now know that you can't do something, even this small, by yourself. ;) So help can always be offered before hand.

Am I taking applications? Not at this time. Not till this hunt is over and I'm sure I'll do the summer one. But you can always make them and keep them handy, same info as last time.

Will I let bigger named stores in? I don't know yet. I kinda like having the smaller stores. To show off the talent of some of the lesser known shops. So we will see. Maybe a couple that will help bring in more hunters, but don't know, we will see.

So, if I'm not sure, why am I telling you this now? Because I know how it can be. I want to make sure that people know I plan one, and will know more by the end of April, then have it down the line and find out that since I hadn't said anything, someone else decided to do the same thing. I don't want the same problem I had with this hunt and the Bunny Hop and the issue of eggs happening again. So best to make intentions known now, the type, and that if done, we will use beach balls as the gift boxes, then to have another issue where hunters don't know which egg they are looking for.

And now... on to the corrections in the shops. I've been to some and will now post about them.

Some Fixes and Changes

We have some links that were broken when I went to bed, but this morning they are working!

I didn't have a chance to check all the broken eggs in the last post, but will tell you the ones I know are working that were broken then.

#49: - FIXED

#83: Gemmini Genesis: BROKEN - Script doesn't work, trying to give only to owner. So use this link to get to Selbo Designs.

Current Missing or Lost or Important Information

First off, I'd like to say... Great start!

Missing Links & Problems

Oh boy! Seems that no matter what you do, something will break.

I had several people trying to help me make sure that all the links worked. That nothing would be broken or missing. But we couldn't get ahold of everyone in time. So, things aren't completely there.

Wanda's - Store Bio

Hello! My name is Wanda Umarov and I'm going to tell you a little bit about my shop: "Wanda's".

I started at the end of 2007 in a very small vending spot in a club's mall. I had only one item by then: a shape. My idea was to create a shapes shop. I haven't made a single shape since..

Instead I got interested in creating handbags, this after a special occasion handbag I had made. It gave me a number of good reactions, which encouraged me to push on with this in a small store on Paradise Isles. By march 2008 I had moved my main store to a larger plot on Saint Trinian.

At present I have a relatively large store on Plush Giga sim, where I have about 80 items. Besides my handbags I have a small collection of earrings and accessoiries, boots, one building with pasties. I have a number of exciting projects on the shelf, some of which I hope to be able to finish soon.

Feel free to drop by and have a look at any time.

A. : Since Sept 2008

A. : Clothing for ladies, girls and tinies both male and female as well as tshirts for all sized human AVS. I also sell photos that I have taken in RL and framed in Photoshop. Fabric textures for many of the dresses and some other textures are also on sale.



4. Q. : Do you make everything you sell or do you have a partner you create with?

A. : I have created all of the outfits for ladies girls and tinies and the photos. MY RL Brother in Law Skyler Goode created the Fabric and other textures as well as the T-shirts.



5. Q. : If you could be known for just one thing, what would that one thing be?

A. : I create nice Modest dresses for the lady or tiny who wants to look nice but wants to be modest also.



6. Q. : Why did you start/open your business/shop?

A. : I put a few of my RL photos up in my house and my Brother In Law suggested that I open a store to sell them. I started making my own dresses so that I could have modest clothes that were nicer than the newbie items and that were modest. Friends would ask me where I got my dresses, and then would want to buy them from me, so I added them to the store. Then my brother in law started making Fabrics and gave them to me. My collection of dresses grew too big for the small store I had so with Skylers help I opened The Dress Barn.

Along the way I met friends who were Tinies and they wanted me to make outfits for them, and my Tinies collection got started. It was a natural progression to add clothing for girls also.

Skyler is an 8 yr old boy so he made T-shirts for him self and has put those in the store.

A. : I'd like to be known for making clothing that is sexy and feminine but never trashy.



6. Q. : Why did you start/open your business/shop?

A. : It's a creative outlet. I need to create to be happy, and my rl wasn't giving me a lot of opportunity. Also, I spent a good deal of my first months in sl shopping. I got to where I would think of what I wanted and then often couldn't find it. So... I decided to fulfill my need to create and make what I was looking for at the same time. I'm always working at improving my skills and the quality of my clothing. It's sometimes frustrating, but a lot of fun too.


7. Q. : If you had to put a label on your brand, what would it be?

A. : Just wearable, versatile clothing I guess. I don't have any preconceived ideas of what I will make. Once I see something that inspires me it just kind of makes itself in front of me. I wish I could focus on a preconceived niche or market. I would make more sales. But I don't seem to be able to work that way.



8. Q. : In the future, what can we expect to see coming into your store?

A. : I'm going to start making shapes and skins, with an emphasis on ethnic.



9. Q. : What age group do you gear your items to?

A. : Adult

And lastly....

10. Q. : Do you have an Updates Group? If so, what is the title, or is it a Subscribe-o-matic?

A. : I don't have an updates group yet. I will soon.

I wanted a classy look that might be considered both fun and sexy without trashy and I hope that will be how my work is perceived.

I love it too because I can send freebies for "group" only members that way too as well as announcements and other freebies, like the fun emitters and poofers I'm learning are a breeze to make. LOL I wanted to offer "rezz-day" gifts to my subscribe-o-matic members and had a database typed put even while the number was still low but recently my desktop decided to take an unplanned vacation without prior notice. Which is why I hadn't answered any of the notices as of late. LOL It's hard for me to be online with the laptop.

Thank you so much for this opportunity. I'm so excited about it,

Secrets of Gaia

I invite you to visit my main shop to view my entire collection of jewelry. I design items with beauty and wear ability in mind and strive to maintain the highest customer satisfaction possible. My line includes both realistic jewelry items and fantasy pieces. I also have a collection of Silks, Unscripted weapons, and other accessory items. I take great care to ensure that my items are of the highest possible quality if you don’t see what you’re looking for or are interested in a custom piece please feel free to IM Rox Arten. I also employ live jewelry models in my main shop to allow customers a closer look at pieces they are buying. Most items are Yes Modify/No Copy/Yes Transfer for easy gift giving and adjustment to your avatar. I also have gift cards available that are accepted for purchases from any of my product lines (Secrets of Gaia, Blessed Clothing, and RT Designs) not just my jewelry.

Secrets of Gaia is a labor of love for me and my whimsical and naturalistic style lead to the name often using flower and leaf shapes. I am not as new as some might think I have been around in SL almost 3 years now and building jewlery for most of that time. I am also Dean and lead instructor of SLCIF&D teaching the Master Jeweler Course originally created by my mentor and sometimes muse EmCee WIdget. After taking a bit over a year off after my former business partner and I split I returned to SL with a renewed sense of joy and creativity for building. I have been frantically building new items and taking great joy in the improvements that have come along in my absence. I take much of my inspiration from nature and build purely from the heart rather then from pictures of items. Sometimes the items come out as i originally had in mind… other times they don’t and still other times a happy accident along the way leads to a series of items that without the parting from my original idea might not have come about. I build 90% of my items ‘by hand’ with no tools to assist in line up and so forth and if you see me around the shop am often wearing one or more of my current projects around as I wear each piece for a few days tweaking it as I see things that need improvement to move better as my avatar moves about. When the shop is completed (I am still filling uot the courtyard) there will be 7 seas fishing, a relaxing garden to hang out in and much more. Secrets of Gaia comes from the Goddess Gaia who is “Mother Earth” the play on the idea that gemstones, metals, and other components of jewelry are truly gifts of the earth ‘the secret treasures’ I strive to build beautiful jewelry both for special occasions and for every day.

Many of my items are high prim sometimes marked with prim counts (If not marked I can tell you with a simple IM) and hand rotated and fitted while my lower prim items are less prim heavy I strive to keep them just as beautiful as if they were made of hundreds of prims. I also avoid scripting in much of my jewelry however when asked am happy to script a piece with bling, color change, texture change, and other options. I am always happy to make minor modifications such as gem or metal changes to any piece in the store. Larger modifications and custom pieces I accept only on an as time allows basis however if I don’t have time I am more then happy to reccomend someone who does and can do just as beautiful a job on that special piece of your dreams. My IM's go to email so are not lost (barring SL not actually sending them) if you have further questions or inquiries please feel free to send an IM to Rox Arten. Also be sure to hit my subscrib-o-matic while your at my shop to stay fully up to date on the latest releases, group specials, sales, and more.

Prims 4 u

Hi I'm Sharayah Munro, and together with my SL partner, Gadget Loon, we created "Prims 4 U". We opened our store on the Fairy Unique Sim, just before Christmas 2008, so we are relatively new.

We sell things that come under the Banners of "Gifts, Parties, Holidays and Education". Essentially we make items for most of the Holidays (Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, July 4th, Halloween etc).

We have a range of gifts (which constantly change) including our very popular toy choo choo train (themed according to the time of year), Gadget's Lazyboy chair, our very popular collectable wearable teddy bears and even a fairy flower seat. A lot of our items are suitable for the home.

On the "Education" side our most popular items are our extremely well priced sets of alphabet and numerical textures (not easy to find in SL).

We bring in different stock regularly, sometimes daily!!! If there is something you want, or something you want in a different color, just send me an IM and if it's possible to do, we'll do it!!

Gadget and I make 99% of the items that you see in our store. We make every item to the best quality we can and pay attention to detail. We also have items that you may not see elsewhere - for example our specially textured Old Coke Ad on Metal (texture made for us by RxTopGun Clip of RxDesigns (he makes superb sculpties too!!).

We started our business because we both enjoy creating, and we both have an interest in education, both real life and second life (Gadget also being a RL educator). If you're looking for SL Building Classes check out our very own *Classes R Us* range of take-home tutorials.

If we had to put a label on our brand, I guess "Everything Else" would sum up what we sell. We sell a wide range of items, with many unique items. Our newest creations include "Aussie Muffins" (delicious) and 'drop' earrings. Our collectable teddy bear range happened by chance - someone suggested they would be great for our Midnight Mania Board.

We hope you enjoy our store!!! And a visit isn't complete without experiencing our "Surprise Welcome Mat" !!!!

CatBird studios

My name is AeronAoife Grigges but I go by Aeron. My store is CatBird Studios which is an extension of my real life business where I create products for Bryce, DAZ Studio, and Poser, but also create jewelry and items for crochet and knitting. I also publish an online crochet magazine, Crochet Uncut - http://crochetuncut.com - in addition to designing crochet patterns, writing articles, and crocheting and knitting in my spare time. When not in SL or making craft items, I write user and admin guides for a financial software company in Provo, Utah, and user guides for DAZ3D.com for Bryce, DAZ Studio, Carrara, Hexagon, and Studio plug-ins.

Here in SL, I specialize in hair styles and while I only have seven at the moment, I'm working on several more styles. Each style contains resize and retexture scripts with either 262 or 114 textures, all based on real hair photos. Hair items with 262 textures go for just $L200 while those with 114 textures go for just $L75. I like to keep my prices low so that fairly new avies can afford great hair for very little cost. I also plan on adding skins and jewelry in the near future.

My main store is located in Camlann Tarl but I have shops in the Karamoon2 Skymall and on DAZ Island, where I'm the Estatem Manager. When you visit us on DAZ Island, take some time to explore our gallery, which features artwork from artists all over the world who use DAZ 3D products, our shopping mall, freebies shop, castle, and fairy forest (midnight is best).

Primagine

Hi, I´m Trixie Bumbo. Let me take a moment to introduce you to Primagine.

One day in the summer of 2007 I had some time to kill and was a bit bored, everyone was out doing vacation things and I was home alone (insert the Macauley Culkin imitation here). A friend was teaching a class on how to make belly rings and talked me into giving it a try. Despite the fact that I'd never so much as rezzed a prim I gave it a try and at the end of the hour was totally hooked on building. After taking a few more basic building classes I enrolled in an intensive jewelry making course and at the end of 18 weeks of blood, sweat and tears graduated with a Master Jewelers Diploma.

Trixie's Treasures was opened in November, 2007 on a small parcel on the Arginutti sim. I was still trying to find my niche, working hard to make jewelry that was versatile yet could be a staple of a girls wardrobe. March, 2008 saw Trixie's Treasures moving to the Big Apple sim, which I owned with my partner, Jahman Ochs. In October, 2008 I changed the shop name to Primagine, mainly because I felt I had grown as a buider/designer and wanted to reflect that in the shop name. I'm still creating mainly jewelry and collectibles, such as music boxes and limited edition Fabergé eggs. Due to the economy problems, we sold the Big Apple at the end of the year and as of January, 2009 Primagine is now back on the mainland, this time in Kilmarta.

So where will Primagine go from here? Jewelry is my first love and I'll definitely keep creating that. I'd like to branch out, possibly make some furniture or other collectible items that add that something special to your Second Life. I have a Subscriber system in the shop which you can click to join to keep up on all the news. Most of my items are on XStreet SL and gift cards are available in the shop. Come by and visit us at Primagine!

LUXus

My shop opened in august 2008. I started out making only lamps, and later i expanded, so now i am also selling outdoor furniture.

I find inspiration in European design. My creations are contemporary and modern with clean lines, and I work with just a few colors, in order to keep the clean look that im looking for. I combine various metals with leather, rattan, wood and fabrics.

In "LUXus" you will find stylish and elegant lamps and outdoor furniture. I have a some items for indoor, but my niche is outdoor furniture and accessories. My lamps and lights are for both indoor and outdoor use.

I make most textures myself, which means that i am able to make low prim furniture, because i use textures to show details, which normally would take up prims.

5. Q. : If you could be known for just one thing, what would that one thing be? ((Example: I make plants and flowers and botanical things, but if I only were known for one thing, I'd like to be known for making great low prim trees.))
A. : High quality products and excellent documentation to go with each product.



6. Q. : Why did you start/open your business/shop?
A. : Being a RL developer I couldn't help my self starting to build and script in here.. At some point friends suggested I started selling my products.... and here I am.



7. Q. : If you had to put a label on your brand, what would it be? ((Example: Botanical, Neko, Unisex Gothic Clothes, New Age Furniture, Surreal Items, Scripts.... )
A. : Scripts and gadgets with excellent support.



8. Q. : In the future, what can we expect to see coming into your store? ((Example: I'm going to be making a bigger varriety of sculpted low prim trees with real photos of trees.))
A. : More products at a faster pace. RL and inworld scripting commitments has been holding my own products back, but I should get more time for those in the future.


9. Q. : What age group do you gear your items to? ((Examples: All ages, child avatars, X Adult, Adult...))
A. : No age group, but target audience is both old and newcomers to SL.


10. Q. : Do you have an Updates Group? If so, what is the title, or is it a subscription service?
A. : So far only an update group : TVD Group
I might change to a subscription service in the future.

Sky High

After exploring SL, and all its fantastic opportunities and locations for a while in the first half of 2007, I started a little building and trying to understand some secrets of LSL and creating textures. At the beginning I just built for my own needs.
Finally, I had finished several skyboxes and decided to see if others would like them too. So I bought my very first small parcel and started offering them to other residents.
I got lots of feedback that gave me ideas for newer and better products. So I went on, not only with skyboxes, but with prefabs and furniture too.
My partner, Shoya Fellini joined me with her designs for plants and rocks, and finally we had to move to a private region to have enough space to show all of the products inworld.
Today we can offer everything for parcels or whole regions: custom terraforming, raw-files, terrain textures, giant rocks, caves, trees, plants, prefab houses, skyboxes, furniture and more!

Tiger Peak Shop

PICTURES COMING SOON!

Hi, let me introduce myself, I am Huntress Catteneo, and I own a little group of connected shops here on Tiger Peak/Hill. As you can see from the picture below, this area is named for obvious reasons as here there be tigers 
Tzara is only too pleased to welcome visitors, and she can get a little pushy. For those that like to wander, you can visit her mate Khan down on the beach near the meditation cave, and you may even see him taking a swim towards the underwater garden.



Within the tower shop you will find a lucky chair, low/1 prim furniture, textures, large forest screens, and on the uppermost floor little rezzing platforms to see some models of my builds. A couple of these builds can be seen near the tower in there full size form to. I love doing unique tailored builds on awkward plots of land, so if you need something please keep me in mind. I generally work as low prim as I can and use little or no alpha textures (to prevent that horrible inside outside problem you see in some places).



For those looking to decorate their homes a little more you can move down the road to the galleries, but be careful not to wake any sleeping tigers along the way (it can make them a little grumpy). You will be able to tell which stores are my galleries, as they are connected by a rainbow which you can even walk across.



The multi-tiered gallery is a converted home, and you can even purchase this particular building with it’s unique water feature and cozy fireplace. Most of the pictures here are my own photographs that I have taken in real life.



In the second gallery there are a few of my cushions and lamps/chandeliers, along with artworks from many sources. But be warned, the upper most level of both galleries contains the ‘naughty stuff’, so if you are not keen on such things stick to the lower areas.



There are some lovely things to see all around this little part of the world, so please take a little time to enjoy. 

*~*HopScotch*~* Store Bio

Warmest Greetings and welcome to *~*HopScotch*~*. My name is Chandni and I own this place. It all started almost 2 years ago with the need for a costume and lack of money. So I created with hours of work my first dress. In contrast to today it looked ugly as hell but it was mine *grins*

Better than clothing i was able to do artwork. Since i work with Poser and Photoshop a lot i express my emotions, thoughts and ideas this way regularly for about 7 years now. And when i saw that my dress was so strange i started my first shop with my artwork in a 15prim booth in a clubmall.

That i kept a while until i learned properly how to do clothes and work with prims and i grew. The growing went on and what you see now is the work of 2 years of learning and creativity that spooks in my mind. I cannot say that i have a special style i just do what comes into my mind and what i am able to do. And if i am not able i put it on a list to learn for later *grins*

Welcome in this very eclectic environment of mine. Where your eyes wander you see different goods and not only for Earth (like some say) also for Gor *smiles*

I offer silks, jewellery, shoes, outfits, costumes, poses and animations, artwork, accessories, eyes and hair, gestures, textures, sculptures and much more. All you need is to walk through the 3 floor shop and take a look.

In addition to what you find in the store some of my items are only available on XStreet SL. Among those are the Seasonal things out of the special season.

Please feel invited to also join the subscriber for updates and every now and then to receive freebies, it does not use a group slot so you can join as many as you like. Do not forget to check out the lucky chair, the Midnight Mania Board, Pick Reward Board and the Mobvend.

Another goodie for my customers is the Avatar of the Month contest. Apply with an image to the month's theme and you can be the happy one to win items worth 500 L$ of your choice.

Walk in and feel relaxed, stay as long as you like and whenever i may be of service feel free to send me an IM and i will be there as soon as i can *smiles*

Enjoy *~*HopScotch*~*
Well wishes,

The Eggs Are Out! Whoo hoo!

Yeppers! I've handed out all the eggs. Current count, 102. There still may be a couple, but right now, it's set at 102. There are a few that are MIA, and have this weekend to get back to me. So will see.

In the mean time, Designers, if you are reading this and do NOT have your egg, you better contact me. :)

There will be a dry run in the next few days. So Hunters, if you see an egg out, clicking it won't give you anything. The designers are putting them out only for me to run through and check them all, with the help of a few friends. We will be clicking and checking LMs to make sure they work, that things are set to sell CONTENTS so no problems with inability to open eggs, and checking that the shops are ready with the right posters.

PLUS, there is a new outfit for Hunters! I'll post it next, need to take a few photos.

In the mean time... I'd like to thank all the blogs that have been notified of our hunt and plan on attending. I'm going to put a blog list on the side, so you can check out what they have to say along the hunt. :)

Enjoy!

Busy Weekend done! Now back to work!

Well now that that busy weekend is over, family visit went okay but ended up painful as the drive just about killed me and the hard chair I had to sit on while there also about killed me. I've a vet appointment in the morning then in the afternoon I'll be working on getting the list complete!

That is right, sometime tonight/tomorrow the list will be complete and the shops will be locked in as to whom will have what number and which stores are still in.

I'll also know by then who is going to stay in and who will be pulling out. Those without the posters up, who can't comply with the rules, will be dropped and the on hold applications looked into.

Till tomorrow... Have a great day!

The vote is in! - New Rules

Okay folks! The vote is in! It would seem that the majority of you would like to make this hunt one where we move the eggs around from time to time, if we have the room, so as to keep the traffic up.

However, some of you do not have the room to do this.

That being the case, it has been decided to leave it up to the store owner. Should you want to keep the egg in one spot, with hints still available, that will be allowed. But I will need to know if you want the hints within the next few days as I need to make sure I have a list of those that are going to do this and those that will be moving their eggs.

The eggs will be moved on a daily, weekly, bi-weekly basis, depending once again on how often the vendor can get in to move the egg.

With this change comes new rules.

Here are the rules, some amended from before and some new.

1. 1. If you have been chosen for this hunt, you must make one special item for the hunt, and ONLY for this hunt. It is not to be something you've given out before, sold before, or are using in another hunt. I ask that you please think hard about this one, as this item should be a nice quality item since the goal of this Hunt will be to showcase just what you can do and give the Hunters reason to come back to your small business. So you will need a quality item that is 'non holiday', i.e. a skirt and top with Happy Easter across it may not get worn at all depending on when they get to your shop, but a pink & green skirt set, though in seasonal colors, would as it is not specifically for Easter. It is advisable that you have something that is unisex, or include something for the men as well as the women. If all you do is women's clothes, then why not try something as simple as a pair of pants and a t-shirt for the men. Or if you do woman's jewelry, try a pair of cuff links or tie tack for his favorite outfit. You do not have to package them together, you can have one egg for the men and one for the women. But it is advisable to make sure that you do something special for the men. They will be more apt to return to your store (with their female companion) to pick her something nice out even if you do not have a men's clothing line, simply because you thought of them during this Hunt. You do not HAVE to, but I can tell you now that most are and that we are being known now as the hunt that is catering to men and are getting a lot of men drooling over this hunt. So, though this last part is not a 'rule' it is a strong suggestion that you don't forget the men.
2. 
   
3. 2. Hidden eggs, those not moved or those moved, can NOT be made smaller. I am not saying you can not make them bigger, because there are some shops that would like the option to make the eggs easy for the customer to find since they have large sims/shops. So I am going to leave that up to the discretion of the shop owner. But they can NOT be made smaller and harder to find.
   
4. 
   
5. 3. The egg can not be put: under floors, inside walls, inside boxes, anywhere where it makes it very difficult to find unless you have super camming skills. I have heard a lot of complaints lately on a few of the hunts of shop owners that put their boxes somewhere that is near impossible for the hunter to find. Hunters get mad and swear to never come back. This hunt is to show off that your small business is just as good as the big name brand businesses and if you piss off your customers before they can even be a customer, they won't come back.
   
6. 
   
7. 4.The egg can not take more then 15 minutes to find. I know that some have big sims, so in that case, keep it close to the landing point, not clear across the sim up a tree that takes the hunter a hour to fly around the sim to find. If you plan on putting it at the opposite end of the sim, then you need to leave a hint that says what section of the sim you are going to put it in so that it doesn't take more then 15 minutes to find.
8. 
   
9. 5. NO MORE THEN ONE EGG IS ALLOWED HIDDEN ON THE PROPERTY (unless it's two gender related eggs)! This rule is NOT to be broken. You will be given simple instructions on how to make sure your egg gives it's CONTENTS so that no one needs to rez an egg on your property to get at next clue. There are to be NO false or misleading eggs ANYWHERE on the property. This is cheating and will get you kicked out of the Hunt. The eggs will be special so that if you have eggs out to decorate, people will be able to tell the difference. If you have two eggs, one for male and one for female, this is allowed. But this is the ONLY time it is allowed. If you want to give two gifts, put them both in the same egg (unless it's a gender issue). The reason is so that there are no FALSE eggs tricking people into thinking they found it when they didn't. There are newbies out there hunting, finding a false egg and thinking they found it. I know that some love to put out a million false items, and have the people guessing which one it is today, but this only upsets the hunters (at least all the ones I've talked to) and makes them NOT want to return to your store. They much rather be looking for one egg then have to run around clicking on false eggs, trying to remember which one they clicked on already. If you have questions regarding this rule, just contact me.
10. 
    
11. 6. You must have the hunt sign in your shop during the whole hunt. Why am I stating this as a rule, something you'd think anyone might know? Because it seems some do not. They still don't have the sign up and if it is not up the day before the hunt, their shop will be skipped. People need to know that you are the shop they are looking for. If you are having a problem with this, contact me, I will be more then happy to help you put the sign up.
12. 
    
13. 7. Use your common sense. Make this fun for all. I've listed the major rules, the rest have to do with common sense. All you have to remember is that this is to promote your business. Traffic is good, it increases your standing in the search engine, but don't try to get traffic by hiding an egg so hard to find (without even including hints) that it takes so long to find it that the hunter is now cussing your business and never wanting to return. It doesn't matter how good a gift or how long you worked on it, if they are so pissed off at you that they never return.
    

The hunt has been changed to a month to allow for the hunters to get a chance at it. I've got about 20 applications that I put in a 'waiting list', and I may still allow them in in a spot over 100, so those of you that are already in the hunt, no worries. This is still not a big number, 120-125 is low compared to some of the hunts going on right now. In fact we are still half the size of them. So no worries.

Most of all... HAVE FUN! This hunt has changed a lot since I first started it back in the middle of January. It's gone from a hint hunt (I now know that to do that will have to be a much smaller hunt) to one that is almost a free for all. Things have changed because I'm doing this for you, the business owner. To let Second Life residents know that there are good small companies in Second Life that they can find with just a little more looking.

One more note before I close this. Some of you have freebies that you give out normally. During the hunt it would be a good idea that if you have any freebies, put them near your landing point and make it clear what they are. Yes, that means giving away more things, but you would normally anyway if they found them. The point of it is that when they get to unpacking they will be able to see not only the great gift you gave them, but also the gifts you normally give customers and the quality of your items and they will return. A LOT of my business lately has been people that stop while on the hunt or return after the hunt because of what they saw in my shop or what they got while hunting. Or how NICE I was while there. It is very important that you treat the hunters nicely. I know that you will run into some really rotten people during the hunt, hunters that are greedy and all they want is what you can give them for free, but that is just a small part of it. There are a LOT of nice people out there that will be in your shop and how you treat them will depend on if they return. A little bit of sugar goes a long way. That is not to say if you have a really nasty one you should put up with it. Just deal with it in a diplomatic way and the other customers in your shop will see that you aren't a witch even when someone is wrongly attacking you. Peace out!
