Longest Night

For the people of the North, Winter Solstice was a frightening proposition. They lived where summers were short, winters were bitingly cold and the darkness was dangerous.
So I set up my home in SL to reflect what I'd be doing in RL on Solstice night and this is the result. The highlighted items are available till Jan 2 @ Winter's Hollow*.

Winter's Hollow December 14 ~ 31

There's a chill in the air and the nights are black velvet sprinkled with diamonds. 
There is magic in the air... do you feel it? It's time for Winter's Hollow 2018.

You will find uniquely magical goods of all sorts from makeup to clothing to home furnishings and more. Whether you prefer Gothic, Victorian, Wiccan, Pagan, or are just love the esoteric, you will find it here with EXCLUSIVE items, sales items, gachas and a L$5 hunt
The hunt items are hidden in beautiful silver and stained glass snowflakes like the one I'm holding in the picture above. Each contains a treasure for L$5.  Most are very easy to find.

You'll also find lovely winter scenes for your picture taking.

Winter Queen

Winter is almost here (Solstice is officially December 21 @ 22:23 UTC) and the Lady is feeling mellow. She surveys her kingdom and is content with the light dusting of snow on the ground. The elk and rabbits can still find food and sunlight causes rainbows in the trees.
She will revel in the sparkle of frost and ice crystals as she plays in the forest. But as the end of 2018 approaches, her gentle nature will shift and she will call forth her dark winter dragons to cover the earth with a deep layer of ice that burns like fire. 
It is not meant as a punishment, but in hopes that when the Spring Queen wakes, mankind will realize how blessed they are.


Solstice blessings to you and yours 

May you be safe, warm and surrounded by love

Introducing the Impius Altum Circlet from EgosumAii. This mesh circlet has amazing textures and comes in 5 metals with materials enabled. It is an upgrade from the Aii Royal Circlet that I have featured in other blogs. I really like the new look. 
You'll find the vendor to the left of the landing point at the Main Store. 

I'm warm and cozy in Aii's Luxurious Fur Stole which comes in 7 styles and 30 textures. 
This stole looks good with fantasy garb or when paired with your favorite evening gown. 

And, of course, my companion in the dead of winter is one of the bento animated Fierce Dragon Brothers, which are available in the gachas just inside the door.

Swordmaiden


"A wound from a tongue is worse than a wound
from a sword; the latter affects only the body,
the former, the spirit, the soul" - Pythagoras


We may be strong and vigilant and protected by our armor, but should we fall victim to a friend's treachery, the spells, magics and steel cannot protect us, so choose your friends carefully! 
Amazing Swordmaiden set from EgosumAii now @ Whimsical
The armor is available in 4 metals- Gunmetal in the top picture is a blue with gold highlights. Iron shown on the lower pictures. Gold and Bronze also available.

The sword aura surrounds you with flying swords with or without the tattered drape. There is a scripted sword for your hand, as well as the ones for your back in your choice of red, blue, black or white. The ensemble  is completed with a collar and Jabot to match the tattered drapes.  Armor, swords and Jabots are available separately or in a fat pack. A demo is available @ Whimsical or in the Main Store, to the left of the landing point.
