A friend asked me if I had a tree bench, you know the kind that circles a tree so you can relax in the shade? Well no I didn't have one so I built one, complete with sits enough for 8 people. Great serviceable décor for around your favorite shade tree. You can find it here at the mall and it's free and full perm. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

My newest creation, suspended ratan basket patio chairs and glass top table. Complete with sits just right click and select "sit" then adjust. You'll find it in our Mall region with the other patio furniture creations. And there will be more to come. Blessings and much love - Lavia

This Fantasy Manor is beautifully done and very detailed. It's based on the four seasons and includes a large courtyard ripe for decorating to your likes. The inside has a beautifully designed and detailed fireplace and large kitchen area and plenty of room on the next 3 floors up for whatever your heart desires including a room already textured for a bathroom. This Fantasy Castle Manor would be a great addition to any medieval or fantasy sim. An Open Sim original build by one of many talented builders on the genesis roleplay grid. While the mall is still very much under construction we're open to anybody who would like to visit and look around. Blessings and much love - Lavia.

Our newest addition at Masala Al Kohav - Star Jinn Palisade Mall....a Hospital building, or if you want a nice big office building though it is laid out to be a hospital. It has the emergency entrance in the back, nice big front entrance, working elevator and plenty of rooms and cubicles for your Hospital RP. Stop in and get yours it's free and full perm....Blessings and much love, Lavia!

Well I'm finally able to get on again but it's sketchy! Graphics are still really messed up at times, but after a clean install of an older version of Firestorm, it appears to be partially cooperating. This means I can get back to building at least and so, to celebrate, I've made this "Heart Bed" since Valentine's day is coming up. It's not scripted "yet" but will be eventually. However if you'd like to get a copy and script it to your liking, you can find it at the Star Jinn Palisade Mall in our Masala Al Kohav region. My new graphics card and power source are on their way so it's just a matter of time before I'm driving everybody crazy again. :D Blessings and much love, Lavia

I won't be on much or building much for a while my graphics card is having a stroke and in the process of dying. Working on getting a new one but not an easy process on a fixed income. Hope to see you all soon as I can.

My first feeble attempt at making a bed. I need to find the sleep pose ball for it and it'll be ready to go. Hopefully I'll learn to do more and nicer things. This will be available at our mall region in the furniture portion. Good thing it's free because I doubt anybody would pay for it LOL. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

On the brighter side!! Wicker Globe Ceiling Lights for anywhere in your house. They are totally copiable, modifiable and transferable for the next owner. Just touch the attached light switch and you have high, medium and low light settings, the 4th touch turns them off. The light switch can be manipulated in "edit select" to be on any wall you like it. Once you have it the way you want it simply touch and enjoy the warmth of the light. Blessings and much love, Lavia

A nice assortment of new table lamps, one style in multiple colors, free and full perm just for you. The fun part with our furniture is you can mix and match and have fun with your decorating tasks. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Newest item at the Star Jinn Palisade Mall, the Lilly Lamp! It's a cute little floor lamp that I may modify later, but it goes well with just about any decor and it's touch on and off. And it's free and full perm! :D Blessings and much love, Lavia

Another new full living room suite that has a tribal theme and I think you'll find it beautiful. The set includes globe touch lamps, sofa and chair with sits, round end table, oval coffee table and it's all free for you with next owner CMT perms.
Find it in Lavia's little shop in the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Expanding the collection of Livingroom Suites this one is done in leopard print, faux of course, with polished black wood and touch lamps and an oval area rug. I'll be working on fireplaces and hopefully, eventually, flower arrangements and candles for the coffee and end tables, for now it's just the furniture. Stop in and see, as I have several that I will be putting out over the next few days.
Blessings and much love, Lavia

Nothing beats a warm cozy fire on a cold winter's day, or even just to relax by or for some to get all romantic with. Whatever your desire, this fireplace is the ticket. It is designed to service 2 rooms at once with openings on both sides and it comes complete all you need to do is set it out and you've got your fireplace, logs, and even fire and sound (Thanks to Light and Sound Museum). You can find this here in our Star Jinn Mall's furniture section in the region Masala Al Kohav. - Blessings and much love, Lavia

My very first attempt at a fully mesh living room suit. It has a sofa, chair, coffee table, end table and multicolored touch floor lamp that works. The sofa and chair both have sits, just right click the cushion, select sit here and when you sit the menu pops up. The only thing not mesh is the oval area rug for obvious reasons, it's only one prim to start with. The upholstery pattern is "Peacock" and the wood is light walnut. The coffee and end table are brass, glass and wood. I hope you will enjoy this suit for your region as much as I did making it. - Blessings and much love, Lavia

I am a little confused because I see people complaining when they go to regions and try to copy stuff and get upset when it comes up "no copy" or there is a sign posted to the region that says, "Items here are not copiable". Some may not like what I have to say and some may agree with it, either way I don't care. The most of the things on my residential or educational regions are built by me. Not that I don't get furniture and plants which I can't build yet, but I do my own building and my builds are unique to my regions, made specifically for them, so you'll excuse me if I don't feel like sharing that with everybody and anybody who comes along. I did the work, I made the effort, I designed it and I did so to make it unique so why should I have to share it? Can you not come up with your own ideas and use your own creative juices to make your own unique things? Yes Open Sim is free, but that doesn't mean that just because someone is using it, they have to "give" everybody else their stuff that they've created and built. I've seen nowhere in the literature about Open Sim that it says you have to share your stuff. What it does do is give you a platform in which to create, develop and design for other people to enjoy.
Now I can understand if it's stuff that people know full well has been pirated from Second Life, which a large percentage of stuff in Open Sim is, however there are some outstanding creators, programmers, scripters, developers and designers who make their own original materials and if they chose to charge for that stuff that's their right, though I know most of them do not, they give it away freely out of the goodness of their heart. That said, I do give my stuff away, but it is located in our Masala Al Kohav region which is a whole region of nothing but freebies which includes original content and those things I've picked up from around Open Sim. The one thing I try to do is make sure that the original creator's name is on it and I can tell you that if it's pirated from Second Life the creator's name that you will see is NOT the original creator. So, here's the deal, if you visit any of my regions in grid.genesis-roleplay.org:8002 that are open to the public to visit, and you see something you like, just go to our Masala Al Kohav region and you'll probably find the very same item there all boxed up and ready to go for you. If you see something you like in one of my regions, and it's not in our Mall Region, just shoot me a message and ask me nicely, you'll probably get the item in a couple of days depending on how often I'm on.
If you don't like how I do things, just remember this....You don't pay my grid costs.

Inspired by the very moving Viet Nam wall in Washington DC, this is my latest creation at Haven of Memories. This wall is dedicated to those who we loved but do not have pictures or a lot of information about, like date of birth or passing, perhaps all you had was a username or role playing name and what year they passed, just send me a message and I will add their information to the wall. As long as they are remembered they live on in our hearts. You can come visit them any time you wish and perhaps visit and pay respects to the others who are memorialized here. Blessings and much love - Lavia

My latest build that you can find in our Star Jinn Palisade Mall. It's the LL Millberry Model Mobile Home. I named it for the friend who asked me to build one for them for their region! I will be adding a few more of them so there is some variety! Stop in and check out our "original builds", you may find something you really like! And if not, talk to me, perhaps we can build it for you, we have several awesome builders on our grid and they'd love to help you! Much Love - Lavia

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.

I had for this lady a deep respect and appreciation and so created this memorial wall to her memory to reflect the beauty of the soul who was Veritas McMaster. May she know eternal peace and beauty as greatly and deeply as she created it in virtual for all to enjoy. She brought many smiles to many people may her joy be full in her eternal slumber.

A very special THANK YOU SO MUCH to Cataplexia Numbers for this beautiful AMV Garden Cathedral which she built and gifted to me for Haven of Memories. It couldn't be more perfect and looks absolutely beautiful in the gardens. For this and other beautiful work like it I encourage you to visit "Meow" and "Occasions" where you'll find positively beautiful work by Cataplexia. And be sure to stop in and relax in the gardens built with you in mind. Much love, Lavia.

Just finished this "Stairway to Heaven" fountain which is located in Haven of Memories memorial gardens and I hope to add a couple more Memorial tributes. This region is open to everyone to visit, relax, reflect, remember and if you need to hold memorial services we have a large pergola/pavilion with plenty of seating. If you would like to commemorate a loved one and would like a tribute memorial built for them to place in Haven of Memories, just let us know we'll be very happy to do that for you. Blessings and much love, Lavia

This sweet lady was Jackie, Softwhisper Littlewing who was a DJ I got to know in Second Life and she was amazing and so much fun. We lost Jackie in 2020 to cancer and she will be forever missed and loved. I designed this memorial to her as a DJ she so loved music and dance.

One of the very first memorials I ever built was to Harriet, Spoiled Diva Riches. She was working on the grid I was on at the time building Helheim as "Hela" and having a ball. The last time we spoke was December 7th, 2019. She is greatly missed and still much loved.

When you first arrive be sure to have your viewer settings on "shared environment" and turn your "media" on and be sure you sound is on so you can feel the peace and tenderness the region affords. Much love, Lavia.

It's not ready to be visited yet but we have a new region being prepared. This region is a Memorial region open to all who may wish to hold memorial services or to place a remembrance of a loved one. Haven of Memories will open soon on grid.genesis-roleplay.org and it promises to be soothing and beautiful. You can come and just sit and remember the good times if that's all you want to do, the gardens will be open to all. COMING SOON!

My latest build - Lavine Manor House - it has areas for a Kitchen, a Diningroom, a Livingroom and Entry room on the 1st floor, the 2nd floor is one large room which can be used for a large family room, game room or whatever your pleasure is and the 3rd floor has 2 bedrooms and 2 private bathrooms. It does not come furnished so you can have fun shopping to furnish it to your own tastes. This home has specially designed windows that really do not need curtains or drapes, sliding front and back doors and cedar paneling. The stairwell is large, open and allows one to enjoy their surrounding scenery. I very much enjoyed building it and I hope you will enjoy living in it! You can see it on display at our Star Jinn Palisade Mall which is our region - grid.genesis-roleplay.org:8002:Masala Al Kohav . -- Much Love, Lavia

In light of all the complaining about "copybotting" we have decided to give a "Builder's School" a shot, but this is strictly for beginners. If you are a seasoned builder it's not for you, however, if you'd like to share tips and building ideas to help other's become awesome builders it would be most welcome. If we get enough interest, we will set out a region and beacon and set up a day of the week when we can help teach building all manner of things from homes to hats and more. If you are interested in learning to build and give your grid original and unique content, these classes may just be for you. We will be teaching not only prim building, but how to turn that into mesh and also terraforming and landscaping as well as texture aligning and including many tips that make building in Open Sim a really "FUN" experience. If you would like to take these classes please contact me, Lavia Lavine, here in the OSW page via private message and I'll forward the information to you. -- Much Love, Lavia

We are back up and open for visitors, though there is still a LOT of work to do, for now the museum is completed and even has a short video you can watch about the endangered Forest Elephant of Africa. There are some animals, not as many as before but they will be restored over the next few days. There is a lot of landscaping done but much more to do to make it a beautiful trip for visitors. I hope you will visit and enjoy - Much Love, Lavia

Lioness Den - the wildlife preserve will be off line until we get some technical issues corrected. Thank you for your patience and we'll be open again as soon as we can. Also doing some remodeling as in major makeover. We will notify you as soon as we're open for visitors again. And we apologize for any inconvenience.

Some New items at the Star Jinn Palisade Mall, our shopping region. A full Kitchen and Dining set complete with a working oven that has a light, exhaust fan and working broiler drawer and oven rack. The sink has a functioning dishwasher and the washer and dryer can be turned on and off with a simple "fade" command. There are cupboards in different sizes and arrangements and a full set with "glass" doors. These items are boxed and ready to go with rez instructions included. The entire region of Masala Al Kohav (which means wish upon a star) is, in fact, Star Jinn Palisade Mall. As we grow and add you will find everything from homes to furniture to clothing and avatars as well as gardening items. Specialty Shops like Star Ravenhurst Designs and Falls For You featuring items by Dusty Falls. From Castles to Cabins, Mansions to Mud huts, Closets, Cupboards, Cabbage and Carrots, we have it all. With Love - Lavia

This New Year's Eve, on behalf of all of us here on - - grid.genesis-roleplay.org:8002 - - , I would like to wish everyone in Open Sim a very Happy, peace filled, prosperous, and healthy New Year. Much Love - Lavia

The new Peace Enclave Museum located at my Safari Wildlife Reserve. This museum is dedicated to continuing awareness of our responsibilities to our animal friends that we share this planet with. While there must be a balance for healthy wildlife, to quote Mr. Spock "To hunt a creature to extinction is illogical", we must not allow continued poaching of these beautiful animals. It is my hope you will visit the museum and I will be adding to it and to the reserve as time goes on. This has become a very interesting project for me to dive into. Be Blessed, ~~Lavia~~

Sanctuary of The Ancients built by Star Ravenhurst is an absolutely gorgeous build, beautifully textured and well thought out. You can find this wonderful build here at our mall on the 2nd level of builds. Hope to see you there soon!

We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very blessed and happy and safe Christmas and a blessed, happy, safe and prosperous New Year. May your families know peace and your children know joy and safety and may it be a year when we show chaste love to one another. Merry Christmas from our houses to yours.
