An ever-expanding directory of quality content in Second Life, for the Tasteful Shopper. We cover fashion, places to explore, avatars, furniture & prefabs, and other neat things to have or see, pretty much since the day before yesterday. All on the fly!
A friend was showing me the new skybox which she got from Rez, and going there for a slurl I saw they had a bunch of new stuff at the shop. As usual from Yuki Aabye, it’s all really well baked and also fairly low-prim. And I absolutely love the shed ! Read more…
Toraji Voom sent out a very pretty little skybox to members of the Double Paradox group. I grabbed it today and as I thought it would be a little boring to feature it just as is, I decorated it a little for a change. The skybox is 16 prims, and copy only. I absolutely love, love the textures in it. I might just wish each wall had been a separate prim instead of one single megaprim being used for all four walls, as it makes it a little odd to cam inside. I know, it’s a gift, and that I shouldn’t complain, though ! But really, it’s so pretty, I think I’m going to keep this skybox as I decorated it and keep it around a bit. ❤
Oh hey, while I’m on a roll, this is Lisp bazaar, a really cute store with exactly the kind of whimsical stuff I like, by Pandora Popstar.
Furniture that works, by Thaumata Strangelove, at Grindstone. I had spied some of these on flickr at the time of the opening of the store late last year and had it since in the back of my head to go and check it out, here I’m catching up.

Kellie Iwish just put out a very cute skybox at Elate that comes available in two themes: Daylight and Midnight. For 750L each, they both include a matching set of furniture with a tree, a swinging bench, a flower-shaped hanging light, floor pillows and a bed with some excellent poses. The textures are lovely and well-shadowed, with sunlight effects on the floors, and I particularly liked the stars on the ceilings. You can check out the demos here !

I don’t think I had seen anything from this shop, Crownling, before and indeed inspection says most of these were made during last February to March. There are a few other shops already with cupboards and shelves in this style but I really liked the table with the glass top and the seats have some absolutely adorable poses that you can page through (only wish they had an ‘adjust’ option, maybe). The furniture is mostly no mod and you can buy it either copyable or transferable. Also, the outside of the shop is really quite cute, with the handmade tree shadows on the sidewalk and exterior walls. 03 Ling’s shop takes up a quarter of a full sim, if he would get a homestead instead and design it all around his store, it would make a great photo location, I’m sure !
I was browsing xstreet yesterday when these couches by Brookston Holiday caught my eye. The black leather club couch has me especially smitten ! They’re sold as full perm maps here, with texture maps that seem easy to recolor.
Exactly a year ago, as I sat there being very, very bored, I pretty much decided overnight to start a blog about the nice stuff in Second Life, and within 24 hours, the first post was up. I can’t believe I stuck to it that long ! It kind of proved addictive, who knew ?
Anyways, after 3 years in SL, I also have finally decided, as well, to start making stuff. And so to mark the day, it so happens that I have something I made to give you ! Me, myself ! I made this set of decorative plates, that I put out for free at the shop I just set up at creators pavillion, for all of today. Afterwards, I’ll be selling them 25L apiece. I think I may make more plates later, but for now this set will do. I sculpted and baked them, and learnt a new texture technique, yay !
Oh, and also I made these lamps, with a cloth over it. I’ll probably make variants later as these were really my first attempt at making cloth, and I kind of rushed production a little. And I ran out of prims already at the shop so I put out only 3 colours.
Update. I moved my shop to Cupcake, and anything I make will be found there for the foreseeable future. And thank you, thank you to everyone who came and bought something or was interested enough to pick up my modest gift too. :)
Here comes my last furniture spam of the day, I promise. And it starts with beautiful lamps from Phi. 150L, no mod/no copy.
Ishi I didn’t know and I think it has pretty awesome stuff and there are going to be so many more good things to come from it in the future, I’m sure. I got pretty enthusiastic today about their cottage. There was no demo, but the owner, Butterfli Summers, was kind enough to rezz a copy so I could look. It is pretty primmy but really detailed, and if you don’t have to count your prims, you might very well fall in love with it. It is so cute and charming. There are recesses perfect to place a little bed or a rug or cushions on and dream inside, while looking out the window… Butterfli also has the best pricing system as well. Her prefabs (she has two so far) cost about 1L per prim ! So this cottage is only 850L for, that’s right, 837 prims. But that means she has another build, a skybox, really cheap for sale next to it too !
Trash Wahwah, from the blog “Blah to wah“, has put out some really cute things of his own for sale, and this is his ottoman, I love the colours !
This table I made ! And I’m selling it at one of the stands at ALBERO, too. There are 9 colours, 75L each, and there’s a texture-change version too that costs 325L. The menu is slightly cumbersome to use, I’ll admit, but I’m hoping to replace it as soon as the texture-change script I got gets an upgrade. The tables are no-mod but I included three sizes. They’re kinda like stools in proportion. I had started to make those a couple of days ago and I kind of put them out on an impulse during the night and I didn’t even have time to think of a proper brand name. I didn’t want to be lame and sell them as “Lili’s tables”, though, so “North West” will do for now.
This week-end has quite a bit going on, home interior wise, with the opening of the Home & Garden section at ALBERO, and the debut of the “Spruce Up Your Space” monthly event, which has a variety of home interior designers each put out a creation at a discounted price, according to a proposed theme. Zedellbee Zuhal is part of the first round of designers to participate and here’s the vanity dresser that she has made in response to the “Cupid’s house” theme (with more of her other things below). You will find it at her ALBERO outlet, for 125L only this week-end !
