Made by margerita Oh - Store Bio

Margerita Oh loves flowers and cute home decorations, both in real life and Second Life. When she first started to learn to build in Second Life, she learned that she could build the same things she loved in real life, and the best part is she didn't need a green thumb. Everything always was green and never died. Thus grew her passion for making those same things she loved in real life in her 'Second Life.'

So in November 2008 she started made by margerita Oh, where she makes the same cutest home decorations, lovely flower arrangements, and bouquets that she has a passion for in real life. Each season she changes the look and feel of the shop, so that it mirrors the seasons where she lives. There are decorations for home and shop owners so that they too can mirror the season and change as needed.

====================

Nach einer Weile kam ihr der Gedanke, dass vielleicht auch andere Sl-Residents Gefallen an ihren Blumenkreationen finden könnten. Und so eröffnete sie im November 2008 ihren Shop in Wien. Sie nannte ihn ganz schlicht "made by margerita Oh". Dort sind immer wieder neue Pflanzen zu finden, immer angepasst an die Jahreszeiten. Meistens dekoriert sie ihren shop einmal im Monat komplett neu.

Gerne erfüllt sie auch spezielle Wünsche.

We've done it! - The Last Shops Added!

We have reached our limit! I'm finishing up the last of the folders now, and I'll be adding the bios and links here in a bit, or in the morning, depending on how long I can keep my eyes open. But I know that we have at least the 100 limit, maybe even 103. Oops!

So, sorry everyone that didn't get in. There is another hunt going on at the same time called Go Fly A Kite. If you didn't make it in this one, or The Bunny Hop, I'd suggest you go check out the kites.

Men Count too

It is very important that everyone making something remember men.

They will want to go to shops, doing this hunt, and finding something for them too.

You can easily make a unisex item, or something for both. I know that those companies that make something for both get more men coming back then those that don't. They will even bring their women friends more readily to a shop that had a male item, even if they don't normally sell men's things, then to a shop that had them hunt things down only to find a pink dress.

So please, remember the men in this hunt. I'd love for this hunt to be known for the fact that we didn't forget the men. If you can't think of anything for a man, ask me. I'll be happy to help you think of something. If you make clothes, a male t-shirt and pants wouldn't be too hard and they'd have something new. Anything would be nice rather then nothing at all.

Do you HAVE to make something for men? No, I did not make that a rule. I'm just STRONGLY suggesting that you add something, anything, in the egg for men (or a men's egg).

Remember, they will remember you and your business for including them.

A lot of new applications

I have gotten a lot of new applications lately. And I want you all to know that I am going to get to them within the next few days. They are gotten to in the order received. For the rest, keep looking for new shops and for listed shops' bios. Both will be listed soon.

Small FAQ

Recently I've had a few questions that keep getting repeated. So to help with this, I'm going to make a short/small FAQ here and hope to clear up some of the misunderstandings.

• 1. Q: Why is my group invite sign not working?
• A: The group invite sign is not to invite you to the VENDORS group, it is for you to put out and allow HUNTERS to get an invite to the HUNTERS/GENERAL group. You must be a member of that group, then wear the tag while rezzing the sign. That is the way the script works. It will invite people to the group that the sign is set to.

• 2. Q: How can I tell if I'm "small" enough of a business or not too "big"?
• A: Drop me a note card with your information on it and I'll check it out.

• 3. Q: What do I need to make?
• A: Something that shows what your business is all about. Preferably non holiday, though can be for the "spring" season. The reason it is highly suggested you don't make something that is only for Easter is that some people may not get to opening their eggs until AFTER the hunt is all over. And if they find something that can only be used during Easter, it will be too late and the item may not be saved, it may be deleted, thus your business would be soon forgotten. You want them to be able to use your item for at least a short amount of time, thus showing people what you have to offer.

• 4. Q: Does it have to be unisex?
• A: No, it does not HAVE to be unisex, but like I mentioned in the application, you should think about men. Recently a gentleman made a comment about this exact thing. Men like to do hunts too and it can be annoying to get a bunch of dresses. If you do not make something for men, try to make something that you could see a man or woman wearing. Any "male" option will make the men happy and even if your store normally doesn't sell these types of things, they will be more likely to bring their female friends to a place that at least tried to include them in the hunt. You do not have to put them in the same egg. This is the only time two eggs will be allowed. One for men and one for women.
  

• 5. Q: What if my shop is seasonal? What should I make then?
• A: If your shop is a seasonal shop, make something for the NEXT holiday. This way if they are completing the hunt on the last day, or opening the items after the end of the hunt, they can still use your item in the coming weeks/months. Example: You have a holiday shop and would normally give away an Easter banner. Instead make something for Arbor Day which is at the end of April, or May Day (1st of May), or Cinco De Mayo (5th of May). You can find a list of holidays here: April or May
  
  
  
• 6. Q: I put in an application but haven't heard anything back yet.
• A: I am trying to at least notify everyone as soon as I get each application that I received it. If you have not gotten this notice within two days, send the note card again, with the date you first gave it to me at the top of the card. I am trying to get to everyone as quickly as possible, but you know how Second Life can be, it can easily eat a card before I even get it.

• 7. Q: I know someone that has a nice small business, is there still room?
• A: Yes, if the list on the left side of the screen does not say that we have reached our limit, there is still room. Have them send a note card with all the information in the application to me, Tiea Aeon.

• 8. Q: I am in The Bunny Hop hunt, can I be in this one too?
• A: I've spoken with Cutey, who is running the Bunny Hop, and we both agree it is okay to be in both. Though The Bunny Hop has a panel of people that you must pass, and they are being very selective, and there is only one that you have to pass to get into this hunt. So it isn't going to be often that it happens, but it can happen. Just make sure that whatever you make, it must be different for each hunt. If you can not commit to making something different for each hunt, then you need to just pick one hunt to participate in.

If there is something that I haven't answered here, please send me an IM and note card with your question. I have all my messages sent to my e-mail address, so even if they are capped, I should get it. I hope this clears up some of the mis-understandings. Should more common questions start to arrise, I will update this, so check back to this posting as needed.

CFM Inc - Store Bio

Keri is a graduate of the SL CIF&D Master Jeweler Course and has built her business selling to Gorean Markets over the last six months.

Her product lines include Gorean furnishings, Gorean Collars and Bindings, silks, and jewlery items.

Embyr's Inferno - Store Bio

Embyr's Inferno: "You really need to sell your stuff." This practically became a mantra from all my friends when I started building in the summer of 2008. I never thought I would open a store; building was just something to pass the time, a creative outlet to express a different side of my SL. After the frustration of trying to find unique antique furniture, I decided in December of 2008 to share my passion and creations with the entire SL community. Embyr's Inferno is an ecclectic mix of furniture and home decor. The style is a fusion of all the fantasy and history that have inspired and molded my SL experience, from Victorian/Steampunk items to gothic/Gorean/Medieval goods. The store features living room, bedroom, and dining furniture, a bargain bin for sale hunters, and a unique art gallery containing several uncommon pieces.
