So, completely by chance, I came across Shade Fantasy Outfitters today. Clearly, it was fate. I have absolutely no need for any medieval-themed items, but I STILL spent at least 30 minutes exploring this sim. Therefore, I hereby mandate that you must all go and explore. Go. Now.

There’s so much here that is awesome that I could never really describe it. Besides the fact that the designer, Ashade Sinister, is an absolute genius with sculpties and textures, I love the fact the she’s put so much thought into accessories. My faithful readers (*waves at all 3 of them :) ) will know that I’m all about the details – after all, what good is a kick-ass kitchen if you don’t have anything to put on the counters? Speaking of which, check out Ashade’s kick-ass kitchen – complete with things on counters!

There are tons of accessory items sprinkled around, as well as some of the best looking sculptie food ever!

One of my favorite items is the apple tree, complete with apple picking animation! I helped myself…

When you go, be sure to really explore the sim. There’s a lot to see just in the central shop area, and there’s also some areas that branch off of that central area…like the medieval BDSM cave that I found. ;) There’s a drawbridge to play with on one corner of the sim, a few cows and a windmill sprinkled around, and possibly more that I didn’t even find. Before I left, though, I did spend some time roughing it at the camp site just off the main courtyard. Did me some fishin’. Cooked it up. Yep.

Get over there, check it out. Shade Fantasy Outfitters. Score!

First the snow forts clock has broken! How will we tell the time bacause all the clocks in CP have gone haywire! Im guessing that it has something to do with the new mission (herbert trying to cause mischief!) If you check the snow forts/Ski lodge its gone pretty crazy!

Sorry if the clip is slow!

Here is a mission sneak peak!

Its looks like the sketch is a view from the iceburg looking at CP!

If you check the telescope at the lighthouse Rockhopper can be seen speeding towards the lighthouse!

This is the sneak peak of the new igloo and there will be new furnitur items to buy with it!

Here is the list of events happening tommorow:

When I ask myself what is the most unusual / precious / valuable item in my collection (these terms are not synonymous of course), one of the candidates which has to be in the frame is the above. It comes from Tom the taciturn, and was more or less a shattered hulk when I first set eyes on it. Anyhow, Ton convinced me that he knew a wood turner who could reproduce the turned pieces missing in the sides, put in a floor and of course take the thing apart and put it back together, as would be necessary to achieve a repair. He did not deign to actually put me in contact with said wizard, but acted as go-between. A price was negociated and the work done – and very well done. 99% of the original mother-of-pearl inlay is still intact, which is definitely a result where this kind of piece is concerned.

I don’t know what the market value of this piece with all the recent work now is, but I’ve never seen anything even slightly like it, which is always a good sign. In any case, I have no intention of parting with it – I now consider it to have achieved the hallowed status of family heirloom. Tom, who does deal in this kind of piece to some extent, assures me that it’s as early as mid 19th century because the inlaying is fairly crude, and in the later examples it got more sophisticated. Anyhow, like the Indian hanging I got from him (also a bit knackered - and held together with tape - by the way), I regard this as a real treasure.

I like to indulge my fantasy of this having been lugged around the sands of Arabia or suchlike on the back of a camel, though the fantasy of it having belonging to Bedouin tribesmen is probably just that – a fantasy.

Anyhow, enjoy!
