New Store - New Land - New Gifts!

Greetings Everyone ;-)

As always, I hope you're all keeping safe!

Laminak has moved! The new store is on the ground, in the open air and I've room to grow! 

I made the decision a few months ago, but, I've been looking for the right land to buy and I finally found it three weeks ago.
There are a few reasons for leaving the old land, the main one being because it is a very residential area and it didn't feel right to place the store on the ground, and that was what I wanted to do, I've hated being in the clouds, way above the sim. 
 I love the new space, even though it looks empty at the moment.
But that won't be for long, because I've got two new events to start making for and while I wait for those to start I'll be adding in new furniture as it's finished.
I've also, thankfully, caught up with the group gifts! 
Real Life has been so busy lately it's been a little tricky to do something, but here are the gifts for May and June, and when I've finished the July gift I'll put that out too - hopefully before tomorrow (the 1st July, New Store Launch)! ;-)

I hope you like them, and the new store!

I'd love to see you if you drop-in, so do say hi if you visit and I'm there. ;-)

That's all for now.
Stay safe! 
Much Love and Many Hugs to you all.

1 Liner Manor - Brand New Role Play Sim

Greetings!!! 

So, I've been hinting on and on about this in previous blogs and I can finally now let you all in on what has been a seriously big secret!

'1Liner Manor' on 'AFAR' sim, is now OPEN! and I'm thrilled to have been asked to help the sim creators - Cira Emor and Tahiti Rae - by creating a few props for the 4 main characters along with a few extra props for everyone who visits to use. 

Where do I start?! 

Maybe with showing you the actual Manor? 
If I said it was absolutely incredible! it would be a serious understatement! be prepared for a lot of adjectives here! hahaha
The grounds too are also spectacular and perfect for taking photos, something the sim owners would love people to come and do. And it's practically lag-free. They've paid great attention to every single detail to make sure there's nothing that could possibly spoil your fun, which leads me on to the next point... ;-)

What's it about?
The idea is, that instead of long, drawn-out, and tiring roleplay you only use 1 line of text!

'Now isn't that refreshing?'
'Did you say this place is meant to be fun?'
'Yes, I DID!'

See what I did there? ;-) it's actually easier than it might sound at first! and for those who give the best '1 liners', there's a gallery specifically for 'Epic 1 Liners' - those who make everyone laugh the most. Because that's what the sim owners are hoping for, lots of laughs, tons of fun, and for everyone to have the best time possible there!

Are there rules?
Well, apart from the dress code - loosely, Elizabethen to Jacobean, circa 1500 to 1700 - the main one is that you only converse in 1 line. There's far more information at the landing point, but let's just say there are repercussions for speaking more than 1 line! ;-)

Can you live there?
Absolutely! There are suites specifically designed for the 4 main characters, but they also have rooms you can rent or sublet!

What else?
They have a dueling area between two oaks on the grounds.
Beautiful gardens to sit and relax in.
Music rooms, a bar, and a ballroom. There's so much there they've had to create a museum with information and a floor map of the house and grounds!

OK, onto the 4 Main Roles!

I'm not going to give too much away regarding the specific character traits, for that you'll need to speak to Cira or Tah, what I can do though is show you what I've made for each character and perhaps whet your appetite to learn more?! ;-)

Please note that they're looking for 2 people for each role, 8 roles in total, so you'll need to be quick if you'd like to be a major player at the sim. ;-)

The Gardener.


The Lord's Daughter.
The Handsome Cousin.
and Finally ....
The Butler.
Each Prop is specific to something of importance for that character ;-)
The other props I've created are for use by anyone and are on sale at the AFAR sim landing point. 


There are of course other props, including a Prayer Book, a Tobacco Pipe, Toots! a Rose, Cleaning Cloths, and a Cap to wear that have been created by Cira and Tah, and together we'll all add to these when time permits. For now, though, I hope this has perhaps piqued your interest enough, even just a little bit ;-) to pay Afar and 1Liner Manor a visit. 
For more information click on the links below, or better still! teleport in-world to experience the sim and the manor firsthand:

That's it for now, but I'll hopefully catch some of you at 1Liner Manor soon!
Huge hugs, and lots of love, as always.

SL17 - Birthday - Exclusives and Free Gift

Greetings Everyone ;-)

I hope you're all well and keeping safe. 

It's Second Life's Birthday!! 

17 Years! I joined in 2007, so I've been in and out for the last 13 years or so and it still fascinates me ;-)

I was accepted to be a part of the Shop and Hop event! and have created the final version of the Antique beds - Dreamy Creamy White Oak. A new range of furniture is now in the making ;-)
I've also created 3 new bedding and curtain options, Lemon, Pink, and Blue, and the furniture to match.
The Birthday party is open from the 19th June to the 12th July 2020, and apart from the shopping and over 150 free gifts to pick up, there's a pile of music events happening and of course the chats with the Lindens. 
Here's a link to the various things going on:

The free gift for Laminak is a small garden set. I've created a new set of textures, exclusive for the event - this set will be retired on the 12th of July - for the boho stools. A grungy white and grungy weather-worn 'Second Life' blue, lots of animations including drinks, and there's also a texture changer with 7 different texture options for the cushions. 
Laminak's little store is on the Jubilant sim, link to the LM below, and there's 25% off everything that's on display there.

I think that's it for now, I'll be adding another blog after this about the new RP sim I've been involved in! but for now, stay safe, sending big hugs to you all!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SECOND LIFE! ;-)

Love
Casey
