House tour: the dining room

-

My house is of the Stonebrooke type, which has a circular porch leading to a large triple-aspect room to the right of the building. From that large room, there are double patio doors to the back garden and an archway leading to a small hallway on the left. This hallway is where I decided to place my dining room furniture.

This room is actually quite difficult to work with, all four walls have a door or entry wall centrally placed - here you can see the two doors in two of those walls - so furniture needs to be small. There is no room for a 12-seater banquet table in this area. Botanica's Nevermore range is ideal and very low land impact needing just 6 LI when my Yuletide decorations are removed.

Don't forget to click on the radio to get my suggested Spotify playlist as described in my previous blog post. And if you sit at the table a menu of food and drink will magically appear.

Stonebrooke, like all Linden Homes in Fantassaria, has plain walls by default. To be able to use patterned wallpaper you will need to install a wall shell. I got mine from Paradise Homes and this dark blue gothic wallpaper was included. I might switch it up at a later date, but for now, I'm happy with this room.

Wanderlust Weekend: 11-12 February

-
Image
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 (

Christmas at The Black Cat Inn

-
Image
Today is Thanksgiving for our American friends, which means Christmas is now just around the corner and I've started decorating The Black Cat Inn. I've also added food offerings to the Inn. The Boar's Head from Botanica serves free sit-anywhere plates of Roast Boar Christmas dinner, while the back wall is showcasing The Black Cat Inn's menu of to-buy DFS food. For the food pricing I'm going for a realistic pricing structure based on how much it costs to actually make the food and what the median going rate for the item is. This means I won't offer food items at discount, below-cost prices, but I'm also not charging thousands of lindens. So far you can buy the DFS HW Poision (sic) of My Pie Platter for L$150 and I'm selling the DFS HW Cake - Along Came A Spider (which I think would make a fabulous gothic wedding cake) for L$200. There's more to come, with the Witch's Tea set and Harry Potter favourite Shepherds Pie in the works. Love &

LSL: Book giving script 1

-
Image
In my study I have a bookcase that has two shelves filled with books and potion bottles. Those books and bottles are actually one texture on the face of a single prim sold as a wooden bookcase itself called RE Potions & Bottles Cabinet but moved and stretched (or rather cropped) so that all that appears are the contents of two shelves. Then within that one prim cabinet object there is a copy of the giver script from Kira Komarov with the GIVE_TYPE set to 6 and touch_start to only respond to llGetOwner() rather than llDetectedKey() as in my notecard giver . GIVE_TYPE 6 corresponds to objects, so is the type needed to give rezzable books. Remember that llDetectedKey() gives the ID of the last object/avatar to trigger a procedure. I use this bookcase to store my non-transferable books, therefore it's really important to check that avatars that cannot access my books aren't able to try or an error will be thrown. By using llGetOwner, my books ignore requests from
