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!

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!

Jaw-dropping!


February's coming fast: time for carnivals and of course Valentine's day. And we can't miss either at Vent du Sud!


So here's a taste of things to come (OK, they're already there - just pop over and take a look - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the place). Our prices are always reasonable and we are all original creators (not to mention friends, which counts for a lot).


First up, see the costume above? Alain of AC Créations makes them, with stunning attention to detail (and that includes the masks sold separately). Believe me, these are unique. I could lose myself in adjectives when he pops in dressed in one to put something new in his store. Worth a look to start planning your own festivities. Find his place on the square, and let your jaw drop!


And Rett? Well, the picture says it all, no? Jaw-dropping in rather a different way. Find this cute outfit at her lovely airy store at Vent du Sud. There's an optional short, sheer skirt, too.


Rett (she who doesn't do sales) also told me that anyone who buys two outfits at Vent du Sud can contact her for a third one of your choice free for the next couple of weeks. So get to it quick!




Last word? Well... the 'fire' special is still going on (check out previous posts). Still great bargains and original, beautiful things but only for the next couple of weeks: we're already thinking ahead to the next theme we want to share!
