On Wednesdays We're Virtual Witches

  I'm finally ready to announce that the Black Cat Inn is open. Everyone is most welcome at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Trasimeno/128/112/61 Let's do a guided tour shall we? On your left as you enter is the bar. The bar stools include MyStory scripts to boost happiness and energy. In front of the stools is a MyStory butterbeer server. Be careful although the butterbeer boosts Thirst it decreases Continence. If you're not into MyStory or if the server has been emptied by thirsty patrons, to the right of the bar (where there are currently no stools) is a regular butterbeer server. Having replenished your thirst, a short trip to the outhouse to relieve yourself is in order: Just sit 'on' the outhouse to use the facilities - also MyStory compatible. Despite how grotty this outhouse is, your Hygiene will remain the same (because magic). On our way back inside I wanted to draw your attention to the Paws Reading Tent: The inn has lots of cozy seating from LiViD.

  I've been vacant from Second Life (and consequently this blog) for a while - busy with work in RL. Things are beginning to calm down. I'm moving. I've decided that I want to take advantage of the freedom achieved with Mainland over Bellisseria/Fantasseria. I'm on the hunt for a suitable home parcel where I can get stuck into some DFS farming, but this is my current work-in-progress: The Black Cat Inn. It's nearly ready to 'go live', inside I really need to be able to serve butter beer, outside could do with better landscaping, and I need a decent landlady outfit. Some of these things are available at the Mischief Managed Wizarding Faire , others will need to be sourced. Love & Light ♒ Aqua ♒ 

Betcha thought I forgot Valentine's day yesterday. Well it turns out I finally found something to use in my witch's love spellcasting... ... and I found it in a reopened Candle & Cauldron in Lacrimosa. The reopening was announced in the C&C group chat along with a 30% sale to celebrate. There are lots of returnees of formerly retired products, like those "Witch is in" signs that nearly every shop I visit has. Along with the love candle decor pictured above, I picked up a store building (L$75 knocked down to the ridiculous price of  L$53). More content is yet to be added so I will be teleporting back over every day or so for a while. Love & Light, ♒️ Aqua ♒️

I had an extremely productive shopping trip via Wanderlust Weekend yesterday. My first stop was to Spells and Charms to Go where I picked up a lilac floating heart that emits particle stars. By the way, in this photo you can see I'm wearing my casual shopping outfit: Morgan shoes, my LBD Dragon Scale trousers , a LiViD Macabre t-shirt and blazer (a free gift I think) and My Blvck Hat from Blaise. My shopping bag is an Oubliette one and is the bag one of my Witchy Hangout gachas came in. I have collected quite a few secondhand transfer-only pieces at very reasonable prices (for no more than L$50 on the Marketplace) to furnish my living room. Speaking of Oubliette and Witchy Hangout: the set is included in the Wanderlust sale so I popped over to Petite Mort to pick up the coordinating books and the wallhangings (all copy and mod).  Oubliette is also taking part and you can find the Luxe set included in the sake. I picked up the lovely Persian rug.  The sale continues through today (

At the beginning of last week I showed you my flying bed, well today I thought I'd show you where I took that bed: Fantasy Community Center in Eyrie . The landmark will take you to right about where I'm standing, on a jetty on the northern coast of Fantasseria. There are multiple rezzing points for your boats on the ocean-side with this impressive Lord of the Rings Elven-style building on the land-side. If you step down on to the grass to the side of those impressive steps you'll find benches to sit and rest and coracles (small round boats) that you can take to explore underneath the Community Center. In the photo below you'll see that the river winds between the jetty and the crystal-strewn grass on the opposite riverbank and through an archway beneath the building. It's a perfect hangout for mermaids and I shall show you in a later post. Climb that impressive staircase though and on the first landing you'll find a wooden sign that allo

Well I've had time to unpack my gifts from the Valentine's Shop & Hop and I thought I'd share my haul. In this picture, you can see: Topiary heart and lights from Never Totally Dead Valentine's Stepping Stones from The Looking Glass Je t'aime garden from Simply Shelby Rose scented candle from {:: The Moonstone Studio ::} Be My Valentine gift from The Looking Glass Also in the picture is my swan seat from Oanez (it used to be a gacha so you can pick up transfer-only versions from the Marketplace, but mine is a copy version that I got in a sales event - probably the Wanderlust Weekend). Note that although I've placed the Be My Valentine gift on the wall as a decorative sign, it's actually a couples pose stand. But like most witches I'm single.... I've also tried out the tattoo gifts. The Lilithé gift is a small tintable heart tattoo that you wear on your chest. There's an outline and solid version and you can wear them separately or combine
