What's been going on and where have you been?
So, the questions I have been asked a lot is where have I been and what's been going on, so I figured I would answer it here for those that are curious. Well, first off, my first life has gotten very busy. Between work and taking care of my elderly mother, who just had an operation and getting my own health back in order, my time became very limited. Also, within SL, things were changing. I loved my little shop at the Medieval Fantasy Market, and I became the last tenant of my landland and hostess, Eldo, from United Inishcon, so she changed the sim name, which is her right, though it did confuse some people and I did have to change my links, but that is all good, she is a very sweet lady and a friend who I thank her for giving me a place to start my journey in selling medieval and rustic furniture and props to people who wanted such. I also had to be in her lands group so I could not offer special deals or freebies for group members at what was the main store or be in search. The short version is, I had outgrown my store there and needed to find a viable solution. I had a few little stores in other places. My shop at Haifa closed because they closed the sim, then they reopened somewhere else and I went back, only to have them close on me again but this time with no warning, no response to my messages, no nothing and not even returning my things. So I lost money and things both there. Very disappointing. It used to be a great place. I also had a store at Kassau Village, which also had closed just days before Haifa in its own emergency situation. So with two stores down, I needed to figure things out. I also had a cute little store at Lil Munckins. She is great and her spots are a great price, but in having to make some tough decisions, I had to let that one go for now, but I kept my G&S store and outlet of main products at Talbot because it is still a good spot for me.
So the decision I made was that I got new land and put my store on another sim. As I was setting up and about to open, the neighbor who was on two sides of me decided to not be such a nice neighbor and so rather than hassle with it, I moved again in a short time, deciding to pick up my workshop and home on one sim and my store on another and put them together to make a bigger spot. That was great, I was then on 1/4 of a full sim and I was just about to open again when I was asked to move to a different region by the estate owner because the old tenant wanted the name back. It was painstaking picking the name and spot to begin with for me, as I chose carefully because of the name. I don't know how everyone else chooses where they live, but for me and my friends, the name is very important. I was not a happy camper with being asked to move so that someone who evidently was more important than those of us currently on that region are and feel if you leave a name, its not yours anymore, but I was told that they would change the sim to a horrible name if we stayed in order to try to get us to move. So then I ended up trying to get a homestead, but I learned within two days that it did not have the capacity for scripts that a full region does, by a long shot and had to figure out what to do. So I learned my other neighbor was not willing to move (thank goodness!) and so after all the hassle to begin with, went back to where I was and started putting everything back. I was then just about to reopen and had been giving thought to taking more of the sim if it ever did open up and since the one neighbor who originally had half the sim did decide to move when asked, it opened the door for me to be able to fulfill a desire and I took a leap of faith and got another 1/4 of the sim to create the shopping experience I would be happy with giving people. So with 1/2 the sim, I have been working on creating the vision I had for what I hope becomes an awesome shopping experience for everyone who comes to my store/workshop/home. It is also really great having some awesome neighbors!
So, while it is not complete yet, after moving several times in two months, I am working on getting it done. I have also had a lot of visitors that are arriving for whatever used to be in my spot, so, just today, I put a border around the entrance area so people could get to the sale boards, the midnight mania, lucky chairs, redelivery crate, mailbox, subscriber and group joiner, this way, people can still enjoy sales and I will try to get a few boards with everything in them in that area too, so you can scroll through things to purchase them until I can get the rest of this all worked out.
When I open, actually open the store again, I will have a hunt with lots of little gifts to find to help you learn your way around the new store, which is also my home, so while I am inviting everyone in to enjoy it, to even hang out for awhile and RP if you want, just remember, this is my home as well as my store and workshop and I ask please be respectful. Also no nudity, that is the region rules, not my own.
Also, when the store opens, boards will have two prices, regular price and a group member price, which will be discounted 50-90% off the regular price. Perks for being a group member. There will also be more regular group freebies coming soon!

My 60L Secret
While I will be doing some upgrading on these items soon, upgrades comes to you automatically or you can get them from the redelivery crates. This week, I am putting out some older harvest items for sale, and while I set these items out last week, had issues getting them out so they were not in the sale list and since I have not actually opened my new main store yet but people can get to the sale boards there, I held off posting to anyone about it, but they are there and available now!
