Our latest addition to the Sub-Version mall: The Garden Centre.

Large collection of unique items for your garden - many with a fantasy feel to them.

As always many many items at other stores at Sub-Version Mall.

Through life, there are people and events that take and hold a piece of our soul - sometimes the better, sometimes for the worst. Sometimes the trigger are small, apparently insignificant things.
A piece of mine was taken 9 years ago when I saw the above screenshots in the news. I sobbed for day, as I still do today. I grieved for people I had never met, as I still do today.
PRIDE doesn't hold meaning (or the same meaning) for everyone - and that is okay.
But regardless of where we stand on, of what we believe on - Love and Kindness to our neighbours shall be the Law.
This is, once again, my Starchild wish and Blessing to you all:
'May, when given the choice, you always choose kindness. For you are all Children of the Earth and Starry Heavens, but your race is of Heaven Alone'
Let us remember:
'Let my worship be within the heart that rejoiceth, for behold: all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals; and therefore let there be Beauty and Strength, Power and Compassion, Honour and Humility, Mirth and reverence within you.'
Blessed Pride
In Love & Grief,
Aurora Starchild

Quick (couple of) question to OS Community:
- Do many of you still use (and prefer) Gianni?
- Do many of you use perky versions of bodies?
Thinking in terms of effort (because there are ENDLESS bodies with add-ons now) and that's it's extremely hard to cater for everyone in terms of clothing.
Thinking about whether is worth

### **Samsara: A Realm Reborn in the Alternate Metaverse Grid**

A journey of transformation, Samsara has expanded beyond its original boundaries, growing from a humble 2x2 into a breathtaking 5x5 VAR region. This evolution welcomes explorers into a world of balance and wonder, where every corner whispers the essence of renewal.

As you step into the newly unveiled expanse, **golden paddy fields** ripple like liquid sunlight, swaying gently in harmony with the breeze. Beyond them, an opulent **palace** stands, regal and timeless, offering a perfect vantage point for dreamers and wanderers alike.

For those seeking tranquility, **lavender fields stretch toward the horizon**, painting the land in hues of purple serenity. The air hums with the gentle murmur of **beehives facing the east**, their quiet diligence a reminder of nature’s tireless flow. Butterflies dance between blossoms, carrying the whispers of affirmations, a soft reassurance that peace is always within reach.

Within Samsara’s hidden sanctuaries, silence speaks in profound ways. The **Zen Garden**, a space of reflection, invites visitors to slow down and embrace simplicity, while the **Zen Pond**, glowing softly, carries **wishing balloons** that drift like silent prayers toward the horizon. Deep within the woods, **temples rise amid ancient trees**, shielding their wisdom behind veils of mist. And perhaps the most sacred secret lies beneath the fog, a **hidden Zen retreat**, where the world fades away, leaving only stillness.

For those craving movement, a **peaceful boat ride** awaits, gliding over waters that mirror the boundless sky. Whether you explore through stillness or motion, **Samsara is more than a place, it is an experience**, ready to be embraced.

Come, walk the sacred paths, sail into the unknown, and uncover the beauty waiting within Samsara’s expanded world. **The journey begins now.**

The Japanese Home and Garden is now available at Lunaria Emporium on Wolf Territories Grid! Just click the Japanese teleport board in the lobby to get to the display area. That area is under reconstruction but the home and the bridges are available now.

This is a full pbr build but still has standard textures for those using non-pbr viewers. The home itself has 5 rooms, each with separate sliding shoji doors and light controls. In the back is a full garden in the Japanese style with all new mesh flora and landscaping, it's own lighting control, as well as pbr prim water that is animated. The full build is 1154 prims and fits comfortably on 53m x 45m space. Permissions are modify and copy and comes with full instructions.

As a bonus, I included extras of all the plants and trees used in the build.

Here are 8 more complete heads, merry christmas to all of you from Sciattisi Grid. Now the holidays start and I will take a little break like all of you, but I will finish all 54 heads as soon as possible

We are greatly honored to be able to add a beautiful tribute Memorial Wall for a very precious man who did much to help many, Rudi Bakerly, was one of the most kind souls I have known and it was my privilege and honor to create this Memorial Wall to him. May he rest in eternal peace until we meet again at the rainbow bridge.

Happy New Year to all Opensim grid owners and users alike. I just want to add my thoughts as a few others have on the past year. We have all seen growth or maybe a decline in our grids and even so far as to have our grids banned by other grid owners. Isn't it bad enough real life has tossed us a pandemic to deal with. Losing Family & Friends we have cherished for years to a sickness we can't get control of. We all come online to escape real life even if just for a few hours, to forget our troubles and just have that bit of time to relax, have fun ... and maybe meet a new friend or two.

I recently had one of my users come to me and say why am I banned from such and such grid? My answer of course is "I have no idea no one has contacted me about any issues." I can tell you this ....if I have an issue with a user visiting my grid I am going to ban the offending user/users not the grid they came from. Banning the whole grid for the unfortunate actions of 1 or 2 users in my opinion is childish and very unfair to all the good users from that grid that have the same lets have fun and meet new people and share what each of us have to offer mind set. After all isn't Opensim supposed to be about offering a place to enjoy the free time you wish to spend online when you access a grid?

I and my partner have and will always try to offer a peaceful and enjoyable experience for users of our grid. If you have had an issue with one of our users please don't ban the grid ban the offending user/users and please feel free to contact me regarding any user from the grid. I am one of those No Tolerance for crap people that will not stand for a user tarnishing our grid by doing something they shouldn't. They want to do that crap it's time for them to move on find someplace else where it's acceptable or get their own grid. We have already banned and deleted one user for unacceptable activity and I am not afraid to do it again if needed.

I like to think and I'm sure I have shown to many visitors I am a very reasonable person to deal with. And I try to act on issues ASAP so the grid is enjoyable for users and visitors alike. See something you don't agree with message me and lets talk. Have a user issue message me and let me know so we can get any issues resolved quickly so we can get back to enjoying our grids and members.


Lets make 2022 a year of change for each of us in Opensim. Lets enjoy our online time helping each other, providing fun places and content for members and visitors to our grids, and working together to resolve any issues that arise in an adult manner.

LETS TALK !!!!!

All my best wishes to all for the New Year. I hope that mentalities will change on Opensimulator, because we have to help each other rather than go to war, many forget that. I only understand that on opensimulator, network or sim owners can ban an entire grid without first Trying to contact the administrators, of course a resident can mess things up, but then why punish the whole network? Even in rl we do not see this, the mentality on Opensimulator has really changed a lot in recent years !!

NEWS!!! Add life and charm to any place with these realistic pigeons. Some stay on the ground with gentle cooing, others suddenly take flight when avatars approach. Natural sounds, subtle animations, and a touch of surprise make your space feel alive. Shared freely with love.

I appreciate the support of the OpenSim community in upvoting reviews of my region, even though some may be unfairly critical from those who have never actually visited.
My decision to ban an avatar I deemed underage (Child or Teen) was made in good faith, though it has prompted malicious and vindictive responses. If you've had a positive experience on my grid, I encourage you to share that by voting for accurate, unbiased reviews.

*** FLORA - AUGUST 14th 2024 NEW RELEASE***
GIANT SEQUOIA TREES PACK (Sequoiadendron giganteum), from Californian forests to your SIM!
AVAILABLE AT FOREST AREA, BOX 01!
01 prim mesh trees - 03 different models - Animated smooth leaves.. and seasonal textures included!
And another heads up. something I`m going to do from now on,I will be offering as well "suggestions" like a big cluster of trees, different sizes and rotations, for both flat area or slopes. I noticed many here rez trees and shift copy others and it doens`t look good (looks like Clones from Starwars lolol).I bet many will enjoy that idea.

Some people collect beautiful art

I collect bricks!

Not just normal bricks;
old worn out imperfect bricks.

These are the kind of bricks that help
tell a rich story about a buildings past.

but why.......WHY would I collect UGLY BRICKS?

Because I have a few friends who love to build!


Textures Trees & Scripts

The name says it all!

p.s. I also have a few ugly rocks and soft fabrics in my collection.

Honestly... let's be clear... there are grids that are really terrible, they are just awful, and they have the audacity to advertise themselves as if they were the best...

I wonder how users don't realize that they are in a mess and consciously decide to stay there, but we'll address this topic in the days following the holidays. For now, I want to be kind to those who deserve it...

TROPICANA KOKOMO...

PLEASE REMOVE ALL THOSE FAKE USERS THAT YOU PUT THERE WITH REDGAST VIEWER TO GRAB AN USELESS SECOND PLACE! BUT THESE GAMES ARE KNOWN BY NOW, THEN 14 USERS FOR 72 HOURS CONTINUOUSLY AND FOR WHAT? NOTHING, BECAUSE EVERY TIME I COME, NO ONE RESPONDS AND NO ONE IS THERE! WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO, COMPETE WITH THE CENTRAL PLAZA OF OSGRID? IN THE SAME GRID, BUT DELETE THIS SHAMEFUL REGION MADE BY USELESS PEOPLE WHO NEVER TURN ON THEIR BRAIN...

And Merry Christmas to all Christians, happy holidays to everyone else.
