Encantada
Another Brrrrry release at the shop. At least this time something that will warm you up.
I've put out a winter log seat with SFposer for sitting by the campfire. When you need to feel toasty but still want to be outside. Campfire included of course :).

New flower release, this one was something I've wanted to try to make for a long time.
The Alliums, giant fluffy colour balls basically :D. Apparently they are part of the onion family, I always thought they were much prettier than onions ;).

Well, new release today, they are pretty basic, so basic it's in the name of one of them.
I made them for fun and well, I'm entertained by them so maybe others will be too. The Box Men are animesh and avatars, tiny and regular size. The tiny ones are super tiny so they can dance on tables and desks easily. The Fancy Box Man has funky animated textures, the Basic Box Man has 4 faces and may be re coloured or textured in lots of ways.
They're on the second floor of the shop building next to the Stick People, they seem to be having a dance off.

Birch trees, great for making furniture and a favorite of beavers everywhere. 2 options, a tree and clump both in summer and fall textures.
Elm Trees are located right next to the landing point. The trees in that main aisle have both the fall and summer versions included in the one box on the summer side :).
The cone flower as I call them or "echinacea" the official name. Apparently the name echinacea is from the Greek word meaning sea urchin due to the flowers' center. They're perennial so no need to replant each year (especially the virtual variety).
I couldn't resist making this sculpture.
Another release today. Just some small garden mushrooms.
You never know when you are going to need some fungi, pretty on the ground and tasty in the frying pan.
These come in two texture variations, just plain shrooms and some that have red spotted caps. The textures are included inside "garden mushroom 1" in order for them to travel better for HG users.
They are located just as you go into the fantasy section at the shop.
Have a great day!

Just taking a break from the holiday items.
Out of the Woods Trees, some additional foliage for your woods. Known to be loved by squirrels and birds alike!
They are available in 3 shape versions, also, you'll find them in both the summer and fall areas of the shop.

It's a hot one today...I thought a fountain was appropriate. My first fountain, the Pineapple Fountain, when you need a piece of fruit and some water to keep you cool.
Another new release today. More birds, this time, little cardinals, male and female.
I am really going to have to make some bird houses and feeders now since they are getting crowded at the bird bath. Maybe a new bird bath too :D. As with the finches, there is also the option of having one of them emitting random sound. Now you can have cardinals and finches singing in the garden. (You can always edit the script if you would like the sound a little less frequent ;).)

In the event of heavy winds or storms, some heavier furniture in the garden is helpful. Concrete, now that's sturdy :D, table, seats and a bird bath.
Rhododendrons...the perfect thing when you're not sure if you want flowers or a shrub. They come in 3 group sizes so you can fit a small or larger space.
Cherry blossom trees can make a mess on the ground, but, when you're pretty and pink, all is forgiven. The mess the Encantada trees make is always removable so, win/win.
I made the Egg Mobile for an Easter contest. There is however a version without the Happy Easter available too. Just in case you feel the need to ride in the sky on a giant steampunky egg.
I try to make plants that fit into different environments. I was looking for tropical plants that flowered and ended up making these Araceae plants.
Another piece of seasonal decor. I've put out some wreaths in the christmas section of the shop. There are 2 versions, one with and one without ornaments. All the textures are included so you can change bow or ornament colour as you like.

Yesterday somebody said to me "remember, it's only 21 weeks until Christmas". I thought, wow, you must really love the holidays. In any event, since a lot of people may really like Christmas, here is an appropriately themed item from the shop :). It's a snow globe with a tiny toy train travelling around a Christmas tree. You can turn the train on and off with a click. It resizes just fine too so it works even when it's huge ;). The train is also available separately.
There's several types of wild grass at the shop, some you would even call "fantasy" (Ikr, pink grass in a virtual world, not really a stretch :D). I seem to keep adding to them, ground cover always comes in handy.
Old Hickory trees. Summer and Fall, they are in their respective sections at the shop in separate boxes because they are so far apart. Excellent hardwoods...well, if they weren't virtual ;).
I made a replica of Jeff Koons' "Balloon Dog". Turns out, the original was the most expensive piece of art sold by a living artist coming in at a cool 58 million usd. "Encantada" Balloon Dog replica....the cheapest...free, free, free :))).
I've made several fountains. This one is probably the least conventional, I call it the "Leg Jug" (so original, I know). I was either feeling creative that day or experiencing some kind of opium soaked dream from another life. Anyway, for the creative gardener, it's pretty versatile, it can be used on it's own or in other fountains.
I hope to make more buildings and pavillions going forward, for now, there are 3 Grecian inspired structures with matching benches available at Encantada.
If you would like to add a little movement to your sim that won't cause you lag, try out the animesh butterflies at Encantada. Quite a few species available :)
It's time for a classic.
I've put out the Acapulco Chairs in the centre of the outdoor shop next to the beach area.
The thing about these chairs is you can use them outside on the patio and they work great but you can also add some cool to your house by using them inside.
There are 4 colours in the box ready to go, scripted with sfposer for girls and boys. I've included the textures in case you would like to do some modding. The silver version works great for tinting different colours. Just tint the two seat faces.
Have fun and be cool... :)

Keeping with that winter feeling, I thought perhaps a frozen fountain could be useful. I opened up the freezer and froze the Ball Fountain. I just put a little twinkle in the ice.
It's December so... time for that festive decor! These are simple but handy to decorate with. The Light Ball. It has a touch menu to select the texture/color and also the color of the light.
Tis the season :)

Now that it's August (already!!), I'll probably soon be working on one or 2 new items for Halloween. One of the currently available Halloween items at the shop is the Scary Trees. You can have them with or without mist and dead ferns, also, there is an option to have them say scary things to you when you touch them. The overlord sounds like a real sweetheart....well, not so much.
Another fountain at the shop, the Deco Fountain. This one is small and handy for adding movement in more confined spaces like courtyards and things.
Well, even though it's summer in the north, it can still get chilly in the evening. I've just released a fire table to keep toasty at night and hey, roast marshmallows in style. It comes with 2 stone choices, this one co ordinates with the sail shade base.
Second new release this week is the Sail Shade. Keeps the sun off in style. comes in 3 wood colours and works well with the new patio furniture. Lights go on with the day/night cycle thanks to Aaack at Arcadia:).
Well I already went there with Halloween in July so why not Christmas. If you want to look delicious for the Holidays you may want to wear the Gingerbread Man avatar I made, or, you can just have him dance around as an animesh along with his mini gingerbread animesh friend. If you are really brave and don't mind being stepped on occasionally, wear the mini Gingerbread Man avatar :D
Small new release today. It's a table top palm plant, versions with and without animated leaves depending on indoor or outdoor use. It's inside the shop building over by the vases.
The Whirligigs...I'm sure there's some other official name for them but that's what I call them. These have parts that spin in opposite directions so they really add some movement to the landscape, put in one or more of these, some animesh butterflies and animated tree leaves and it's a happening place :)
A while back I made a simple beach hut, somewhere to get out of the sun. It looks great with Arcadia's rattan dining set and tiki torches!
Encantada Aloe Vera, handy when you've been out in the sun too long. Also handy if you have a cactus garden or just plain live in the desert.
The main shop building doesn't have too many items in it yet, I add things as I build them. The building is for interior items. All the pieces in the lounge area are available and don't worry, that vibrant green sofa does come in more neutral colors lol.
Things just keep getting chillier and chillier. I did some winterizing of objects to provide items for the cooler environments that are popping up. The latest addition is a frosty Round Greek Pavilion along with concrete outdoor table and bird bath.
Something for the tropics. The fan palm is nice for variety in the landscape, a little extra flora for the beach or jungle :).
Gerbera daisies, a flower I always liked. I did several configurations and included a plain daisy on a stem in case anyone wants to use them in a vase.
A new release today. Things were getting a little tight in the summer garden section so I had to carve out half of the desert section for some new summer accessory releases. I feel a shop reno coming on eventually but for now this is going to have to do.
This time it's some summer outdoor furniture, it will co ordinate with my next couple of releases. It's colourable and I've included the textures in the box for those who wish to mod them. 3 wood colour versions are already included. It uses SFPoser so you can change anims as you like.
