August.

Okay, this will be a very long entry, but we try to make it handy:

1. Releases

It’s true: we released something. *fireworks* Some weeks ago we finished our first belt project and sat it out for sale. The package includes different sizes of two styles (female (more oval) and male (more round)). Creating this belt was such fun, we surely will do more of these in the future.

Yesterday we released a bunch of four items. A jewelry set with color-change script called Marduk I. No Textures were used. (Except the blank one.) Do you remember Marduk II? We released it on May 19. The color-changes on metal and gems of Marduk I are more nuances then mind blowing revolutions, because the set is very tender and delicate and should keep it’s nature.

Then we sat out a vendor with earrings called “India”. They are not scripted, but textured. The vendor we used this time – and the first time – is from Miriel Enfield. So it’s possible for us to offer different colors (gems) AND different permissions (COPY or TRANSFER) with only one prim. It’s a kind of test for future releases.

The third release is our first fantasy avatar “Chimaira”. No, I won’t tell the idea behind chimaira here. Read your mythology books, kids, but not now!

I looked around in SL and have to say, this avatar is definitely a steal. *self-praise* The shape of the avatar had a kind of “spin-off” in it’s own box as our fourth release. The shape is called ‘UMA’. In the avatar box it’s NO MODIFY, in the shape box it’s MODIFY.

2. Group Management

As we mentioned here, we use the subscriber kiosk to inform our interested customers about news. With this instrument, you can send objects and notecards, but you can not store them. In the last weeks we managed to send out four gifts to our group. But we are not sure, if everybody received the gifts. (Why should work here what doesn’t even work perfectly for the SL groups?) Now we think about a way to store the gifts for a certain time in our store. Every group member, who missed the gift would have a chance to get it this way.

The four gifts so far:

3. Bernadette

One of the group gifts was a (Silver/Citrine) ring and errings set called “Bernadette”. Another set of Bernadette with Ruby on Silver is on our dollarbie board. But this is not all about Bernadette. From time to time, we will hide some new metal/gem combinations somewhere on our land and the one, who finds them, can keep them. At the moment and for one week, you can search in our garden for two sets. One is silver/garnet, the other bronze/sapphire.

4. The last groupgift we sent out yesterday was a shell necklace and matching earrings. The reason for the shell theme is, we will participate in the SL Jewelry Exposition 2008 which has this year an “Aquatic Theme” (last year: “Celestial Theme”). If you want to know more about the jewelry exposition, which will hold a treasure hunt and an auction for the benefit of Heifer International, read here.

5. Lucky Chair

We doubled your chances! That is, we installed a second Lucky chair in our shop. To celebrate this arrival we put two new Lucky-Chair-only-items in it. A coin necklace plus earrings named Sara, and a basic Piercing Set, which includes a belly button, a lip piercing and a surface piercing for the upper nose bridge.

And now we are done. At least for today.
