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. : 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.

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.

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!

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

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

9. Q. : What age group do you gear your items to? ((Examples: All ages, child avatars, X Adult, Adult...))

A. : Adults, mostly, since this is adult literature (and yes, this does mean a coupe of erotic ones).


And lastly....
10. Q. : Do you have an Updates Group? If so, what is the title, or is it a subscription service?

A. : Not at present.

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.

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*~*

*~*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

Free Emoticon Courtesy of www.FreeSmileys.orgOkay 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. Sexy Smileys

That being the case, it has been decided to leave it up to the store owner. Adult Smileys 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. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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! Free Emoticon Courtesy of www.FreeSmileys.org 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.
Free Emoticon Courtesy of www.FreeSmileys.org 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. Free Emoticon Courtesy of www.FreeSmileys.orgPeace out!
