New release: love mugs and winter skybox

Valentine's Day is almost here, so I made some love mugs!





Mmm... delicious hot drinks with a single easy click in mug menu. You can choose tea, espresso, cappuccino, cocoa or steamed milk. The mugs are 25L$ each, or 95L$ in a fatpack of five, but for two weeks you can get the fatpack cheaper, for 50L$ only, at The Dressing Room, how cool is that? :) With the fatpack you also get a cute one-prim sculpted shabby mug rack for FREE!

There are two types of mugs - with drinks, and just empty one-prim mugs for decorating purposes! You get both types with your purchase.

I also released a winter skybox some time ago, but forgot to write about it on the blog (yay, me! :P). It's still so cold here in Poland, but I feel the spring is coming soon! But until then let's enjoy the snow :)



Beautiful frost patterns on a window, soft snow falling outside and a warm cozy place to stay - what more would you need in winter? Perhaps just a cup of hot chocolate at hand and a comfortable armchair too. Winter Skybox is inspired by snowy but sunny winter days, that make winter worth having :)

The skybox is sized about 10m x 10m x 5m and it should fit even small plots of land. It is packaged in a rezzer for easy set up. Skybox window is controlled through a scripted menu, which allows you to change inner and outer window opacity. There's also a particle snow emitter included with three options: light snow, heavy snow or no snow at all, and finally there are icicles and sunlight beams, wee!

Happy living! <3

The Seasons Hunt Winter has started!

Yay, winter edition of The Seasons Hunt has just started! There are fantastic gifts from so many talented designers! You can refer to hunt blog for full list of participating stores.



My gift for the hunt is Sleeping Basket - always ready when you need a quick nap. And dreaming is so sweet when snow is falling outside the window!





The basket comes with sleeping animator, which will make your avatar 'sleep' - together with snoring and zZz... particles if needed. And I also included an AFK sign to be worn when seated at the basket, to make sure no one disturbs your dreams ;)

The basket is hidden in a cute snowman, somewhere inside the store (you don't need to search the garden or the porch, it's definitely inside). And here's a little clue for you: "It's going to be a warm afternoon!" :) Good luck and happy hunting! ^^

The Seasons Hunt has started!

It's here! ^^ The Seasons Hunt has started! There are amazing stores participating in this hunt so if you're looking for something fun to do, definitely give it a try! :)



My gift for the hunt is Autumn Skybox.



You know that moment in autumn when it stops raining, and the window is still covered with water drops, but the sun starts shining through... You sit by the window with a cup of raspberry tea, a book and a warm blanket. This is the moment I tried to capture when making Autumn Skybox. The beautiful, golden autumn.

The skybox is hidden in an orange leaf, somewhere inside the store (you don't need to search the garden or the porch, it's definitely inside). And here's a little clue for you "Where are all the magic sweets?" :) Good luck!

New release: Summer Skybox and Dandelion, Dandelion at [MAGIC NOOK]

Please welcome a new release at the store: Summer Skybox! Pastel colours, a large window and a lot of sun - this skybox is inspired by summer!



The skybox is sized about 10m x 10m x 5m and it should fit even small plots of land. It is packaged in a rezzer for easy set up. Skybox window is controlled through a scripted menu, which allows you to change inner and outer window opacity. And it's got sunlight beams too!

There is a teleport to DEMO at the store, right next to the vendor, so come and take a look!

I also released a dandelion wall decal, for just 25L$, if you're looking for one, or ever wanted to buy the one I placed at the store some time ago ;)

My shabby chic apartment

I have this thing with interiors in SL, that whenever I start decorating, I end up with shabby chic style. I love it all - white wood, soft floral fabrics, vintage accessories... Plus, I adore all things country when it comes to home decor. No wonder this theme often sneaks in :)

I recently switched to a smaller and more cosy skybox, which I built myself, and which by the way I am going to release in my store very very very soon (update: it's released now!). And you can definitely notice shabby-chic-country-love influence in my decor. But I really like it - it's so mine and so comfy! In fact, I like it so much, that I'm going to submit it to 'Tiny, cozy space' contest organized by SL House & Garden Group.

Enjoy the pictures, and if you happen to like the items I used, you will find credits below.

New release: chocolate box!

I know it's late to release a Valentine's Day item, but I didn't manage to finish it earlier. I completely redesigned my chocolate box - and that means new sculpties, new textures, new scripts etc. - and now it is a cute box holding an assortment of veeeeeryyy delicious sculptie chocolates :)



You can use the touch menu to select the chocolate you want. There are six types of chocolates to choose from:

• Milk Chocolate With Cream Filling
• White Chocolate With Strawberry Filling
• Dark Chocolate With Almond Filling
• White Chocolate With Coffee Filling
• Milk Chocolate With Hazelnut Filling
• Dark Chocolate With Marzipan Filling

The chocolates are scripted with 'eating a chocolate' animation (with mouth expression!)



You get two versions of the box with your purchase: one version to attach, with 'holding the box' animation, and another one to rez.






There is also a 3 prim version included for those of you that prefer to save on prims - it's simply a closed box, but it's fully functional, dispenses chocolates and looks nice!



I also included all the chocolates without any scripts for attaching fun. Attach them to your mouth or hands, use silly poses and take pictures (make a copy of all chocolates before doing so, just in case)!



The box cost 150L$ and is a cool way to say 'I love you' to someone (or you can secretly buy it for yourself and eat all the chocolates ;)). The bad news is that I didn't have time to put the box on Xstreet and it's no transfer, so you have to take your love to the shop. Sorry! But it's Valentine's Day and I'm off to drink some mulled wine with my other half ;)

I hope you too have an awesome Valentine's Day!

TAXI to the shop

New release: Study Hard! FREEBIE

Yay, I've finally put the promised FREEBIE at the shop! It's a study desk full of books, stationery, and of course a little snack, yum yum!



With the pack you get a set of cute, colourful pencils, which you can attach to your avatar or use as decor items! The pencils attach to mouth, but feel free to reattach them somewhere else - hands, ears, nose ;)





The desk comes with two 'studying hard' animations - male and female, so there is no excuse for not studying, guys! ;)



The freebie is a little thank you for my dear customers - it makes me happy that you enjoy my items and come back to buy more - so this time I'm giving you something nice for free :)

You will find the freebie at the back of the curtain in the store.

I've also put there the older freebie - 'Natural' modeling pose - so don't forget to take it once you're there!



I hope you all like the gift! :)

New release: cookie jars!

Newness at the shop! I made 2-prim cookie jars filled with delicious homemade cookies!







You can use the touch menu to select the cookie you want. There are nine types of cookies to choose from:

• Chocolate Chip Cookie
• Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
• Peanut Butter Cookie
• Chocolate Walnut Cookie
• Lemon Cookie
• Apple Cinnamon Cookie
• Almond Cookie
• Sugar Cookie
• Double Chocolate Cookie

The cookies are scripted with 'eating a cookie' animation (with mouth expression!)

You can wear the jar - it is scripted with 'holding the jar' animation. It's fully functional when attached. The jar attaches to right forearm, but feel free to reattach it somewhere else (make a copy of the jar before doing so, just in case).

There are 7 colours, each cost 125L$, and you can get a fatpack for 495L$ (wee!). With the fatpack you will get a sculpted 1-prim shabby shelf and a bunch of linen doilies (which are available at the shop as single items too).

Come and get a cookie jar for yourself and your friends! ^^

New release: cute mugs!

Yay, I made some cute mugs with delicious hot drinks! You can choose tea, espresso, cappuccino, cocoa or steamed milk - with a single easy click in mug menu.







There are lots of designs to choose from, each costing only 25L$! You can buy separate mugs or a fatpack for 250L$ - and with the fatpack you get a cute one-prim sculpted shabby mug rack for FREE, yay!

There are two types of mugs - with drinks, and just empty one-prim mugs for decorating purposes! You get both types with your purchase, wee! :)

The mugs are scripted with 'holding' and 'drinking' animations. They attach to right hand, but feel free to reattach them somewhere else, eg. forearm (to keep nails or rings on). Make a copy of the mug before doing so, just in case.

If you want to send the mugs as a gift to someone, just IM me! :) I'll try to list them on XStreet soon, so that the gifting is easier, but for now my stuff on XStreet is a total mess and I need to take care of that first ;)

TP to the shop and see the mugs in person!
