Get one of these free, but which?

I promised my subscribo group a gift this week, so... I kept it. Thing is, I made two versions and liked both of them, so ONE is inside and the other isn't (a transfer version).

So hop over to Fleurs du Sud (part of the Vent du Sud mainstore) and get one of them free! The subscribo is just out front. But do it quick as I'll be taking it out again this weekend.

The idea is a useful flower trough that looks just as good on a wall as it does over a balcony or on a front step. Superb, clear textures with lots of detailing as always.

Just ask if you want other plants inside and I'll happily do you a custom version or different sizes (store owners or people with rentals, please note!)

Copiable versions of both on sale at Vent du Sud for 129L (7 prims).

In fashion news, Alain Papp's carnival costumes, masks, fans and parasols are attracting a lot of attention. If you've ever dreamed of a sumptuous, unique treasure (for both men and women), now's the place and time!

Photos can't do them justice... but come and at least take a look. Alain is more than happy to model them for you or to make a really special, one-off version just for you.

Right now, there's a whole lot to see (and do) at Vent du Sud, so drop in for a quick visit!

Tuesday treats and a small dose of political incorrectness

Y'know if February is a dreary month, Tuesday is a dreary day.

So to cheer it up a little, here's some really pretty, detailed specials from Fleurs du Sud: the rose in the glass vase is still at 1L (boy, it's popular), and the two heart boxes (pink or sober silver) at just 5L... not bad, as the lid opens on click and a second click on the heart inside gives you a (discreet) shower of pretty glass hearts. A fun little gift, because it's transferable.

I'd say buy a dozen and hand 'em out to your harem but that would be sexist, yes? (Yes). But hey. who wouldn't like a little token of appreciation, even if they're just a great friend?

Moving on (good idea, Ari), I've also put out one of our new, also transferable, oil lamps at half price - 49L: click the control and the flame lights or goes out, and click the chimney for a lovely soft glow. Just 3 prims!

And finally, for that zen feeling so hard to achieve on Tuesdays, the incredibly pretty tabletop pool with candles (you can blow them out too) is also at half price (just 29L).

All great gifts (or one for yourself) to brighten up a Tuesday. But don't wait too long: they'll be there for just a few days.

Get them at the newly refurbished FLEURS DU SUD right by the Vent du Sud mainstore.

Not forgetting fashion, did you know that Rett's very sexy Valentine's lingerie is also transferable? Get to it, guys. Click right here!

(And a PS: click on the Vent du Sud subscribo outside the main store today, as there's a gift in store for everyone later this week!)

Hauling prims

February is often such a dreary month but fortunately there are things that make it a lot better.





First up, this month we're focusing on carnivals, Mardi Gras, whatever you want to call it. And as we're lucky enough to have Alain Papp - THE specialist for carnival costumes, you can check out his jaw-dropping masterpieces, or even just treat yourself to a superb mask or a fan for that special event. Check out his luscious, extravagant creations on the square.





Then there's Menthal who is offering what can only be called the ultimate in atmosphere...

Smoke or mist? Click the box and choose a colour. Bubbles? Yep, those too. Try them out on the square and buy one for your next party.

They give out... er... a LOT of mist or bubbles, and click on and off (useful, that). He's right next door to Alain now!






We've called this series... OH! (His name is Menthal Oh, and eau (prounounced oh) means 'water' in French. Not sure you needed to know that, but hey... direct tp to OH!)







I just love the helix bubble lamps... and they're a steal at 100L - great gift, too.


Great for parties, no? Or any modern build.



Me? I've moved the flowerboxes beside my Vent du Sud mainstore, and put in new ones (with a couple of dollarbies and more surprises to come. Think 'VALENTINE GIFTS' with a touch of class - go check it out!






And just to make sure there are always lots of surprises here, Ferri Lane has put out a superb pair of classic white stilettos for FREE (and yes I know the photo is red).
Grab them at Ashton and Lane, as well as their welcome gift (see Sunday's blog)



So as always, lots of newness, lots of superb, unique things... and lots of fun. All at Vent du Sud!

NEW! Fleurs du Sud flowerboxes

Back to lots of activity at Vent du Sud after the summer. Rett is muttering and fine-tuning some brand new outfits, Menthal is spreading smoke all over the square as he works on a plane (more about all this later as the flight scripts are... not quite ready, meaning - well - you can imagine but be prepared to duck).

And me? Well, after a little gentle persuasion on the lines of 'less gossiping, blogging and go and make something' from my much-loved friends... I did.

I still need to take some decent photos... OK I need to learn to take decent photos.

But after all this rambling, here's a preview: FLEURS DU SUD and a line of 'flowerboxes' and other floral arrangements that are - I think - unique in SL. Find the new store on the main square!

Why? Because just popping a pot in a plant anywhere near a window and the delightful SL alpha-issue immediately rears its head. With a flowerbox on your wall, that's one problem less, eh?

What? Elegant frames, a mix of sculpts, soft lighting, water, superb textures. Bring greenery and elegance, nature into your home for a real touch of class and a statement piece if ever there was one. (Pumpkins: note the pumpkins...).

How much? Prices are all below 200L (some well below and one is marked down to just 50L - go look!). Prims: from 7 to 16. So far, 8 to choose from and more on the way

(Note:) My subscribo people will be getting a special flowerbox FREE as soon as I have a few minutes. Find the machine outside the Vent du Sud shop, also on the square.
