Midnight Mania meets Vent du Sud!

Vent du Sud finally acquired a Midnight Mania board... and we're launching it with a tiny, tiny target of 20 people for this 6-prim falling water sculpture.

So what are you waiting for?

It's in the Vent du Sud mainstore by the tp point .

We'll be adding new items regularly, and the subscribo members will always be the first to know, so... hit the board (we give away gifts regularly, and we don't spam!)

At Vent du Sud we love to build... so come and take advantage of our great giveaways (fashion, decor... all original creations).

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!

Glad you liked them... and more great news

Fun, fun weekend at Vent du Sud (the flowerbox rezzday offer went down well!)



So... being nice, we are extending it another 24 hours (great wall art - put a little fresh air into your SL!). Prices from 5L to 25L, transfer - good gift! - and remember... plants without alpha clashes! Find them here.



But tomorrow... they go back to the normal prices, with some new ones to come.





As we're in a great mood, though, here's yet another great offer: a really pretty, rustic bench with a couples' pose and shadow for just 10L ALL WEEK. 5 prims, transfer. Find it not far from the flowers...!







Last but not least? Something really exciting: two great, fresh French designers have come to join Vent du Sud, so a huge welcome to Pearl and Ferri (Ashton and Lane), who are friends of ours and wanted to join us. Check out their cute store right here: they promise lots of specials to come.



Right now, though, take a look at their superb classic stilettos for just 120L, not to mention some very classy fashion. A real discovery, and that je ne sais quoi...




We're having such a great time at Vent du Sud. Drop in and say hi?

Rezzday specials at last!

Yes, it's rezzday plus three. I know, I know. But my SL decided to refuse to take photographs unless it turned all my dialogue boxes transparent. Frustration... so better late than never.

BUT...

I've now marked down ALL my 'flowerboxes' from around 129L to between 5 and 25L, today only. Find them here.

The leather one above also comes in bluee, and it looks great on walls (and no alpha clashes!). Check out others with flowing water, candles... I confess to being proud of them!

Great statement pieces, and so much more fun than just a pot of flowers. It includes some pretty, three-prim pillars for just 5L.

Another fireplace at 50% too... and so much more news and things to discover on and around the square at Vent du Sud.

One of them I want to announce in advance is the fact that it's fast approaching carnival time. And Alain Papp is a real genius with costumes, masks, fans... so go check out his store, right by the square (AP Créations).

Another is Menthal's latest stroke of genius. Great gadgets, lots of fun. Not saying more, but go see in front of his store... and laugh. For 10L... believe me it's worth it.

Posting in haste but do go check out the great things and great prices - all at Vent du Sud, of course!

Rezz day...!

Hold tight... there are going to be two Vent du Sud posts today (unless some sort of major RL drama takes place). But it's my rezz day so... bear with me?

So... three years since I leafed through a Swiss magazine, saw an article on SL and downloaded it out of interest. Why? Well, we'd just decided to move countries (to France) so I wanted to take my mind off that for one thing, and my 'me time' needed a change. Mr RL was already champing at the bit to pack up my fabrics (I love quilting) and work was so hectic that writing (my other hobby) seemed like a lot of effort when I'd spent my day lining up words.

SL has been a fascinating journey, and I can honestly say that I've learned a lot: about people, about friendship, about using computer graphics to create instead of paints, fabrics, or even words. No, SL isn't perfect and neither am I (understatement). I've made mistakes and I'll make them again. I still have a whole lot to learn about building, but... I'm having fun doing it.

I'm also planning do so... something to celebrate. Not a party because a) I'm actually a bit of a loner and b) I don't want to look like I'm fishing for pats on the back (for surviving this long?).

My own little corner of SL, Vent du Sud, has brought me so much. Friends around, most of all: that's the best part. I travel for work and logging on to find 'my' bit of the virtual world and my friends is another great thing. The tier is at a level I can handle even if I don't sell much (although right now I desperately want more prims: not for selling space but to make the 'feel' of the place more as I want it). An SL millionnaire would come in really handy right now: a girl can dream, eh?

I'm off to work but in spare minutes, I need to decide what to do: depending on time it'll be something like making lots of things free for a few hours, or boxing some stuff and popping it in my subscribo (hint). I love putting things in there anyway.

The best 'gift' of all to me, though, is when people drop into Vent du Sud, and chat to us (we're often around), dance on the square or by the dock, spend a romantic moment in the lighthouse, go skating, fly a plane or zoom around in a go-kart, chill on the dock or by the pool / ice rink, take a pedalo, or see our latest building fun. Oh, or even shop ;)

So (cue violins) thanks to my friends, to SL, and hope the journey continues!

Pearls of light

I made this for a friend's rezzday (happy 3rd rezzday again, Pearl!). Check out the Sun's, a superb sim she owns with Farzam, dance on the square, and discover a really stunning French village with a friendly atmosphere.

My idea was to make Pearls of light - which of course can be turned on and off on touch.

Set in a bowl of gently flowing, crystal water, it's a great statement piece but offers you soft lighting too. Romantic and unusual, and a Vent du Sud special today.

Just 9 prims, which is deceptive for something so intricate. Transfer, so a great gift for someone.

Great for store decoration too: ask me and I'd be happy to make a custom version of it or a mod/copy version

And as it's the 13th... just 13L. Right by the subscribo, near the TP point.

... but only TODAY at Vent du Sud. Then it goes back to 129L!

Find it next to the subscribo (and have you checked out Rett's store and her subscribo, just across the square? A great free outfit, plus another freebie in the store.

Seeing double, and a new trio

First, huge thanks to the visitors to Vent du Sud who seem to be liking our fires (and I met my double yesterday, which was seriously weird... we've both made our own shapes but we were so alike, right down to hair colour, skins and clothes style, and roughly the same SL age).

So, today: another two items at 50%, one of which is this lovely traditional stone model by Menthal (only 50L!). Low-prim as always, great quality as always.

(And don't forget the free fire pillar in the subscribo just outside the Vent du Sud mainstore or Rett's 'flames' dress on offer!)

And now something different.

Can't get much simpler, but it's really all about the texturing. A simple, 3-prim low table in three types of beautifully shaded wood that takes it from basic to different and special.

A real classic, ideal for displaying anything from a coffee mug to a plant (or a great lamp from Vent du Sud, of course).

Two are copy/mod and a tiny 29L, and one (transfer only) is at just 1L - only today. Grab it quick at Vent du Sud!
