Sometimes, making a statement doesn't require over-the-top constructions. More gold and grandiosity don't necessarily equate to greater impact. In fact, larger, huge builds often miss the mark when it comes to creating a truly inviting atmosphere. Quaint spaces, thoughtfully designed with lush gardens and personal touches, can be far more welcoming and impactful.

A well-curated garden, with its vibrant blooms and serene pathways, speaks volumes. The delicate balance of nature and human touch creates an environment that feels alive and nurturing. It's not the size or extravagance of a place that leaves a lasting impression, but the care and thought put into its design.

Such spaces offer a sense of intimacy and warmth, inviting visitors to linger and connect with their surroundings. The charm of a cozy, beautifully tended garden can evoke feelings of peace and contentment, making people feel at home. In contrast, grandiose builds, though impressive at first glance, can often feel cold and impersonal.

Moreover, smaller, more personal spaces can reflect the unique personality and values of their creators. They allow for creative expression in ways that grand builds might not, making them memorable for their originality and heart. In essence, a quaint space with lush gardens is not just a place to see, but a place to feel—a testament to the idea that sometimes, less truly is more.

Fresh New Hits! Ever feel like your own worst enemy? Check out "Gravedigger" by Livingston!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH-x6SbR7oU

[Verse 1]
Enemies right left side of me
In my dreams
Wake me up dreams, wake me up
Try to breathe six feet underneath
You can't see what I've become
See what I've become

[Pre-Chorus]
More than just a boy
Trying to stay alive
Reaching for the sky
When they ask about the story about my life
Tell 'em
"Go figure, go figure"

[Chorus]
I grew up to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger
Go figure, go figure
I turnеd out to be the gravediggеr
My own gravedigger
When you call my name
Don't you know I'm not the same
Go figure, go figure
I grew up to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger

[Verse 2]
Put me down
Gave me the runaround
Now just look at what you've done
Look at what you've done
I am found
Born from the dust and the underground
Bringing me back to life from the curses that you handed out

[Pre-Chorus]
More than just a boy
Trying to stay alive
Reaching for the sky
When they ask about the story about my life
Tell 'em
"Go figure, go figure"

[Chorus]
I grew up to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger
Go figure, go figure
I turned out to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger
When you call my name
Don't you know I'm not the same
Go figure, go figure
I grew up to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger

[Verse 3]
Cold blooded youngin
He was born from death
Could've touched the sky
But he was stuck in his head
What a shame, what a shame
Guess we'll wait for the next
Till I rise from the ashes
What you think I said?
Cold blooded young
He was born from death
Could've touched the sky
But he was stuck in his head
What a shame, what a shame
Guess we'll wait for the next
Till I rise from the ashes
What you think I said?

[Chorus]
"Go figure, go figure"
I grew up to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger
Go figure, go figure
I turned out to be the gravedigger
My own gravedigger

This fun train was something I had created on the old grid under that avatar name, but I still have it and decided to put it out for folks to enjoy. It's a cute little train that would be adorable in any "park" or "playground" setting and it fits adults and kids a like. If you're region is a park or fun ride theme this little gem would work perfectly even if it does just have you going in circles (pun intended). You can pick your copy up at the Holidays & Seasons department here at the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Well, then can I walk beside you?
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel myself a cog
In somethin' turning
And maybe it's the time of year
Yes, and maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning
-- Joni Mitchell

The next morning, I left my room at the break of dawn, shook as I was by what I had seen in the red dusk the day before. As I was heading back the way I came. I noticed a sign that I somehow missed. Perhaps there are lighter times that way?


"Sign, sign
Everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery
Breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign?"
-- Les Emmerson

New Item at the mall which you can find in the Kitchen & Dining department. The Spindle Shelf Fireplace comes with sound and working doors for storage. I've also added a few new things to the Building Supplies department and we're increasing our Holidays & Season's "Spring" section though I guess it's time to start on the fall and winter! Stop by and check things out as I'm adding new stuff just about every week. Blessings and much love, Lavia

A Virtual Beach Update

Hey everyone, so far everything is going smooth and looks good.

I will be going on a last minute camping music festival trip, I will be gone Wednesday evening to Sunday evening.

If there are any grid issues please send me a message or email but please keep in mind my internet will be limited. I will have best luck in the morning for internet.

Once I get back I will start planning the grand opening for the new welcome region

One night, I dreamt I stood at the river's edge in a canyon gorge. Terraced along the cliffs were abundant cherry trees, their branches cascading down towards the water. This place is the embodiment of that dream. We observe Hanami here. @FredBeckhusen/Ferd Frederix has added his magic touch throughout this region, thank you Ferd! three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Zensational

The Death of Slim Shady - Coup De Grace (2024)

So, I had preordered the new Eminem album + 1 bonus track, album dropped just today, friday, july 12th. I will be streaming and digesting this new album at my grid, for those who wish to join!

If you don't know or enjoy Eminem or rap music please leave your negativity for yourself; this is for fun and for light hearted playful people who wish to have a good time, and enjoy perhaps the greatest wordsmith rap has ever seen.

Welcome to Detroit City! Sorry we missed you. ;)

Over the next few days, into the weekend, we will be moving the Garden Center to a new location and rearranging things to make it more accessible and less confusing. We will still have all the great stuff with additions so be sure to stop in when we're all done, I'll let you know as soon as it's completed. Of course you can still come and shop at the Garden center as I'll only move copies of everything before I delete the old location. Thank you all for your patronage and patience! Blessings and much love, Lavia.

When I got on line this evening and was working at the mall I noticed some of the drawers missing from the dresser, the nightstand and the vanity and I thought WOAH! Did I forget to add them to the set in the box?? but then I realized I had made a boo boo and forgot to reset the scripts after setting the display out not even thinking, of course people are going to test these things to see if they work right! So, my apologies to whomever tried them and experienced the disappearing act that moving objects can do if their scripts are not reset!! I have reset and adjusted them since so they will work correctly. Sooooo, shame faced me, my bad...it's fixed now. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

OOoops I did it again, but this time it's a really good thing!! A complete Bedroom suite "The Rose Queen Bedroom Suite" is textured with fine cherry wood and rose carved draw fronts, door fronts and trim. You will find that all of the drawers and doors work but you'll have to add your own bed animations. There is a 6 drawer dresser with a mirror a full wardrobe, Bed with under bed storage drawers, a night stand and a vanity with mirror and vanity chair. It is full perm so you can retexture the sheet, blankets, pillows or any part that you want to change and modify. You can find it in our Livingroom and Bedroom department at the mall. Just use the Mall Shops Teleport System to get there. And while you're there check out our many vendors like Ares Gizmos, Creations by Tainted Angel, Fall's For You Animesh people, Stuff n Things and Ezra's Antiques and Collectables. Stop by the Ancient builds and check things out and don't miss Thor's Forge for the finest medieval builds you'll find anywhere. We have lots and we're adding more....stop by and take your time browsing and don't miss our "Best Friends Pet Center and Mini Zoo" and if you're looking for a house, hey, we've got those too!! Blessings and much love, Lavia.
