The ancient manuscript, worn and frail, had survived not just the ravages of time but the trauma of two world wars and the Great Depression. The pages, yellowed and fragile, were etched with symbols and words in a script that seemed to waver like shadows in the dim light. The ink, though faded, still held traces of something vital—a secret long buried in the folds of history.

It had belonged to your grandfather. You'd often heard stories of him as a man of few words, a man who carried with him a sense of mystery, a presence that couldn’t quite be pinned down. He was said to have been involved in things—things that no one ever spoke about in detail. People had whispered of his involvement in covert operations, of missions that seemed too important to speak of, even after his death.

But now, as you unfolded the manuscript, a sense of recognition tugged at your heart. The writing on the pages seemed to call to you, as though the words were waiting for you to decipher them. The first few lines were barely legible, but as your fingers traced the parchment, something stirred within you—a deep, unshakable feeling that this manuscript contained the answers to the questions you’d long held about your family's past.

We're testing PBR textures, and the results are stunning! This ring, originally created in Second Life, showcases Opensim's full PBR support, bringing every detail to life. Interestingly, when I upload my jewelry to Second Life, the scale appears much larger, but in Opensim, it matches the exact size I designed. This ring was one of my first creations and earned me an Avi Choice nomination for Best New Jewelry Store in SL! I had to nano that ring though because of the huge scale and would not reduce down to the SL Avatar. In opensim it has worked beautifully thanks to @FerdFrederix~ PBR is in its earliest stages but I am loving the results so far. This will be in the store soon. 💍💗 This image is inworld with Sunrise lighting. Lighting affects the color of the metal if the sky is red orange sunset the gold will be red, Fred pointed this out to me yesterday, so a bright mid day you will see the brightest results. I have fun playing with the sky to see what the metal will look like each sky it looks different. Fred's ring compared to mine though that he textured is beyond beautiful, he made the diamond glossy, and translucent and it is just beautiful, so gemstones can be transparent with a tint of color, so many options and we are having fun! All this is coming soon...

I'm expecting you this evening.

just in case people dont know what formal is.. its Tuxes for the men and Gowns for the ladies.. if you come not dressed in Formal to the Ballroom you will be to told its a formal venue.. 2nd time I have to tell you you will be ejected third time Banned. The Only Club that has a dress code is the Ballroom, and its listed as a formal venue on all ads and notices. The Train Station, TG.IF and Fetish Factor do not have dress codes.

A special Shoutout to Thirza Ember and HG Safari group! I was honored to be included in your tour and have many new friends.

On your next visit, you can venture into the dark depths of a labyrinthine cavern, the promise of treasure mingling with the dread of what lies ahead. The shadows twist and turn, and soon, you find yourselves confronted by vengeful ghosts, their wails echoing off the damp stone walls.

In a frantic scramble to evade the spirits, you will rush through the narrow passages, but the caverns are alive with surprises. Cobwebs, thick and sticky, cling to your faces, and startled bats flutter out from the shadows, tangling in your hair.

The atmosphere is thick with tension, laughter, and the inevitable fear of what lurks just beyond the flickering light of their torches.

=OUT NOW: Vodern Crown=
Didn't know where to place this one...so goes into the 'odds' of 'odds&decor' store.

Hi there, I trust that everything is going well for you all. As the season approaches, we've been working on some new products for you. Additionally, I have been getting some off-line messages. Beetlejuice is being inquired about. It's located in the Garden and you can access it by teleporting from the landing. The store marked as women is where it's located. At present, there are new items in the garden, as well as this one. May your autumn be a time of fun and happiness.

I hope you all are having a great weekend. I was asked if I would make 

Beetlejuice
outfit.  With just the black and white lines, well, this was the best I could come up with at the last moment, so I will also share here what I made. They will be in the store if you're looking. Have fun and happy shopping. Good night

Today has been a busy day at the mall as not only have we opened our new Magic Shop, but I got a little creative and made these Owl Lamps. I had gotten a lamp that was labeled "Owl Lamp" it turned out to be a Peregrine Falcon lamp, so I corrected the name on that one and made two, what I think are, really cute owl lamps with my favorite bird perched atop a tree and the moon providing the light. There are two versions, one with the owl facing front, and the other from the side and there are duplicate table versions as well. I have all four of them boxed up and waiting for you in the Living rooms Department in our Furniture section of the mall. Hop on over to the mall and use the teleporter to select "furniture" and have fun shopping! Blessings and much love, Lavia

How many "NEW" signs can you spot? I have added many new things to the shop and you will find them all by looking for the red, glowing "NEW" signs from one end of the shop to the other. Have fun "Easter egg" hunting!

=OUT NOW: Adam Skin Megapack=
Another megapack of skins in 16 tones, similar style to Denis megapack. If you can't find neckblend inside, it is available in the pack for the body skin anyway!

Good Day, Friends!

I’m often asked, “What happens to the art when it’s taken down to make room for a new exhibition?” My response has always been that select works from each artist are preserved and moved to another gallery space, becoming part of a permanent exhibition that contributes to OpenSim’s evolving history. Up until now, that was only a vision—a future project in my mind.

I’m thrilled to announce that vision has finally come to life with The Archive Collection. While the name may be straightforward, it leaves no mystery about the treasures inside! 😊

I’ve included some photos—one of them shows me standing in front of the building, to give you a sense of its scale. To enhance your visit, I’ve also added a grand piano I uploaded and added a variety of scripted music that you can play by touching the keys while enjoying the art. There’s even a version of the piano with animation options available at my shop.

As we approach September, those of you with art ready for display are welcome to bring it by the gallery anytime. If you’re not already in the group, please let me know so I can add you to the correct role so you can rez.

I’m incredibly excited about this exhibition and, from what I’ve seen so far, it promises to be a feast for all our senses! Looking forward to seeing you soon!

The Grande Phoenix is a reimagined and refined update of an original Moroccan-style build I created for the town of Devil's Fork in the Land of Xzar. I was never fully satisfied with the original, so I recently undertook a complete remodel and am now excited to share it with anyone who’d like to make it their own.

Designed as a charming boutique hotel, the Grande Phoenix features a welcoming lobby with a side bathroom. The lounge is a cozy retreat with a warm fireplace, a stylish bar, and a dance floor for social gatherings. The custom-built kitchen, crafted with full perm capabilities, is ready for anyone who wishes to add their own animations.

Upstairs, you’ll find three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The building comes partially furnished, showcasing custom artwork I created, while leaving plenty of room for you to personalize and decorate to suit your style.

The Grande Phoenix is a versatile addition to any town or region, but of course, it’s yours to use however you wish. With full permissions, it’s designed for flexibility and creativity. I hope it brings you as much enjoyment as I’ve had in crafting it.
