Well... SL17B has just passed (don't worry, this year I got *ALL* the gifties and will be doing an unboxing post soon) ...but guess who gave discounts on their stunning creatures?
For the very helpful and friendly inworld * Teegle * group (full of creators too), copy/paste this into nearby chat
---> secondlife:///app/group/068d6c36-96f2-7fc5-af58-a7b99704f8d4/about
Yup! Teegle horses can be pets or avatars. You can find 3rd party Teegle modifications on the MP (search for "Teegle avatar" if you want the avatar parts, or "Teegle pet" if you want the rideable version modifications). ...And there are also ranches with rezzers (which can be bought in the Acres region), so that guests may be provided with a Teegle horse to enjoy riding while visiting.
To buy your own, however, you'll first have to look the horse straight in the mouth and acquire it inworld,
At the Teegle region, they have a rather large store that's divided mainly into the pet section and the avatar section. Outside is also a large mall with the 3rd party creators of modifications (do check their profiles for their main stores that may be much larger, offering more, and do note that some creators choose not to advertise on MP because of the 10% cut LL takes for providing the MP site). You will also find a sandbox here, so that you
can immediately set up your new pet and ride it, or unpack your avatar stuffs. ...............................................................................
You can buy copy or no copy versions of the pet (do not worry about accidentally losing a no copy version, the management HUD easily helps you get an immediate redelivery). Copy is a bit more expensive, but you have to weigh your personal preferences and see what works best for you.
You can add the pet from your inventory to ride it, or rez it and ride it like a vehicle. If you make an outfit with it, I suggest Tapple's idea of altering your shape's hover height (as that will affect whether or not the horse stands on the ground properly, or sinks into it a bit). If you rez the horse, and especially if yours is no copy, make sure that you are able to rez first, as chancing finding it in your inventory's lost and found after relogging is indeed scary! ...However, I do like riding the rez version better because even with your AO turned off, some riding animations go a bit wonky (like you end up riding the air next to your horse sometimes for no reason ... it's in beta stages). Also, if you find some things hard to walk around on (bridges, rocks, invisible mesh prims, etc.) or are running into things (trees, statues, buildings, etc.), I like Lav's trick of turning your horse "phantom" in the build menu.
Now, especially when you are purchasing 3rd party modifications, it's important to make sure that the item you want is made for whichever type of Teegle you are seeking, either the "pet" or "avatar" version. It is also important to make sure you are buying for your specific breed. This is because all things are rigged, and some things may not look right on the different skeletons (for example, a Shetland Pony is much smaller than a Clydesdale, so those skeletons are, of course, way different).
My story is this...
Back in the day (February of 2015), I got an AKK horse (the "AKK XL09 Black Pegasus 3A," to be exact, also animated and mainly rideable from inventory because it's at 105 prims), which was the best of the best as far as horses go in SL. Amaretto horses are pretty cool too (and breedable), but I had my AKK custom made (and am still a fan of flexi, even tho it's technically uncool now because it skyrockets complexity) ... It's a black alicorn with blue eyes, a long flexi mane + tail + leg feathers. I bought it as a pegasus, and Kristivon Kolache was kind enough to give me a modifiable silver horn to put on it. I absolutely l♥ve it, and have for years.
Now in November of 2018, animesh came out. An exciting feature that makes mesh objects look more realistic via animation (kind of like how bento makes avatars look more realistic). ...I made an animesh teddy bear at one of Toady's classes (seems really easy), but until I can replace my really old laptop, I don't really want to delve into making things in Blender or Avastar just yet ...I'm happy simply writing these blog posts and playing L$ earning games for now. ;)
Since I came from fantasy territory, I have a lot of friends also involved in that kind of fancy. Shortly after animesh came out, they all seemed to be recommending Teegle horses. I tucked that useful information away, somewhere in the cabinets of my mind.
Somewhat recently, DD told me about this really cool ranch called Cherrywood Falls, as Andi & Lav occasionally play with us at Game Night in Limbo.
Then I decided to go to SL17B and collect all the gifties. In the Tinseled region, I stumbled upon Teegle and noticed they were doing 20% off on all horses, 25% off all Bellisseria Linden Home addons, 30% off select accessories and skins, and 50% off select barn decor! ...Needless to say, it got my wheels spinning.
It had been long enough since animesh came out, that I trusted the Teegle brand, and thought some research could be done into the best addons for my AKK alicorn upgrade ...Practically the last day of SL17B, LOL!
I spent all night going thru the Teegle catalog and the MP, bookmarking things I thought would look stunning. I joined the Teegle group and chomped at the bit for morning to come (yeah, I'm a graveyard shift nut), so that any knowledgable person would help fulfill my intense desire to understand just how to make this alicorn upgrade happen --in time for the SL17B discount! ...I was trying to figure out the order of buying triage: did I have to buy a Pegasus in order for my alicorn to have wings (in exchange for foregoing some things), was it harder to just buy the breed I wanted and get 3rd party wings to work/fit, or what in the world was the best way to go about upgrading/replacing everything I need for my new alicorn?
The first person to take me under their wing was Devras of Valkyrie Designed. She showed me some 3rd party winged horses she was working on and answered all my questions with kindness, professionalism, and even remembered scenarios with others who were also working with 3rd party wings. I l♥ve her textures, I later bought her fabulous Silver Viking hooves design. :) She encouraged me to not give up or get frustrated, as the reason why she started making things was because she also couldn't find what she wanted.
I kinda got the idea to talk to Tapple. I had no idea who she was when I first IMed her, but I saw that she was a part of the Cherrywood Falls group, and I think Devras might've mentioned her. Tapple is really cool. I didn't know it then, but she's actually the scriptor for Teegle!
I was telling Tapple about my conundrum with trying to make an alicorn to replace/upgrade my AKK horse ...that I wasn't sure what needed to be bought first, and that since the Pegasus is so new, there aren't a lot of 3rd party creations out there yet --as someone in chat also informed me that the Pegasus mane isn't long enough to take any texture applier replacements for the long, gorgeous hair I wanted --so I would have to find a rigged replacement for the Pegasus breed, which is yet to exist (for what I wanted, anyway) ...and on and on and impossibly on, in a nauseating laundry list I tried to mostly spare her from! :p
...Tapple actually took me to the sandbox and rezzed out the Friesian (that I l♥ve, since it mostly looks like my old AKK alicorn, considering the long mane, tail, AND leg feathers) and the Pegasus, to see if they would merge! ...And well, they did!!! --I told her I needed to buy it, or I would die (LOL)! So she gave me (and a few other maybe listeners in nearby chat) the secret for doing so, and left the Friesian Pegasus there in the sandbox for everyone to admire for the day.
I immediately went back to Tinseled and bought both the Friesian and the Pegasus. Then I went to my sandbox and merged them! It was quite simple, really. Most of my time was spent reading the manual for the first time.
Then I went to Cinnamon's store and picked up the coat and wings applier I drooled over at Fantasy Faire. But I couldn't stop. This was finally happening, and it's the BEST thing since sliced bread, because I got to design exactly how my personal alicorn would look! ...From my earlier bookmarks, I bought eyes from Tutto è Vanità & SharkBox. The Deluxe Cho tail from Abaddon Arts. The Double Spiral Unicorn Horn from The Silver Unicorn. REIN's Cloven Hooves (upon Devras recommending their store), and even tho they were made for the Unicorn, I got lucky because they worked and look so beautiful on my Friesian hybrid. ...I tinted and messed with things until the cows came home, wondering why they weren't branded by Teegle as well! xD
...All in all, 51 prims. That's a pretty great start, you know, just in case I find anything super-spectacular-crazy I just NEED to add or swap out! No saddles or bridles, tho (unless maybe, for some reason, Monstaar re-releases the purple RFL chantilly rose drape). ...My alicorn is a bit feral, and I encourage it. Haven't quite decided on the name yet, either. Started with "Swift" and for now it's "Luna Noire." :p ...BTW, it might be wise to keep a notecard of every complicated adjustment you make to a no copy horse, so you can easily recreate it, should a redelivery need to occur. ;)
There were only 2 things I bought that didn't work. Some horseshoes that were made for the Unicorn breed, but you know, I got the cloven hooves that worked and were supposedly for Unicorns, so... :p ...guess I gave those L$ up to the universe. Well, actually, Tapple says if I ever buy the Unicorn, I'm ready with shoes, so... :) And then I also bought a different kind of unicorn horn, which technically does work (as in, it goes on the Friesian correctly), but I ended up liking the double-spiral one much better. *shrug*
Teegles are pretty hard to screw up building, because everything is rigged... So even if you link your new mane while it may look like it's set up to be the tail (or worse), once it's linked, it automatically moves to the correct spot on the horse's body.
...However, I had to have my 2 no copy Frankenstein horses redelivered 4 times (yes, you have to re-customize them each time they're redelivered, because they come fresh + your old horse vanishes ...Unless you remember to unlink the parts you already customized, before requesting a redelivery)... because while building, I came to understand that the eyes, gender (which I changed to female, so that specific part goes transparent/alpha), AND hooves are all ONE piece, referred to as "the body" ...As when I was messing around with the cloven hooves and shoes, I was un/linking / replacing the old parts, and then left wondering WTF happened to my alicorn's eyes, LOL!
And then when I kept the original hooves on (just making them transparent via select face), and added the cloven hooves ... their alpha transparencies began to conflict with each other and I felt like my horse was wearing long mesh hair, with a mesh dress, all on top of a BoM body, OMG! xD ...So I reinforced the learned idea that "alpha masking" is always the best thing to do (not "alpha blending")! ...And yeah, I also kinda have plans to make a blog entry on my mesh hair adventures, especially including the alpha transparency disasters and fixes, for you all too (as, yes, even mesh hair still has alpha transparencies, apparently). :p
Anyhoo... The best part of all this, is that not only do you get to show off your horse ...but you become a part of an outstanding community. They all seem very cool. Creators and enthusiasts, willing to help you in chat (so no need to overwhelm creators with NCs). Plus a lot of ppl take pride in their ranches too! There's all kinds of trails you can ride your horse on. And you can even participate in scheduled riding events. Just check the Teegle group notices or ask someone to pass you that NC. :)
So if word of mouth seems to be the best way to advertise the finest things (all things mentioned earlier, considered too)... then here you go. This is what I have to say about Teegle. ...Kinda stealing Nike's slogan here but, "Just do eet!" --because I promise you that it's like getting a mesh body or bento head; you won't ever look back or regret it!!!
Well, this year, we were hit with a pandemic *sprinkles in some fantastic George Carlin words to spice up that notion* ...And I'm one of those frontline essential grocery store workers...
I really wanted to give you everything, and aim for the A+ grade on this project (as I normally do), and have this finished at least before the faire was 1/2 done (so this could help you), but it was really just a matter of triage with the things that already/normally give me grief in RL + all the extra BS we're forced to endure at this particular time. So obviously, something gave, and all I have is an unfinished project to show to you ...But rather than just scrap everything, I will at least share with you my very unfinished adventure of Fantasy Faire 2020... And hopefully, you might come to the conclusion that if just 1/2 of FF is THIS breathtaking, then surely the whole thing was too powerful because it would simply make you die of orgasmic fantasy bliss!!! ;) :DDD
I am making this entry after the fact... So I won't be able to edit my notes as much as I'd like (yay, you get to see them in the more raw format and therefore peer directly inside my brain), or fact-check any other unintentional screw-ups (like FF SLURLs that're already gone to the next-year abyss) that the fairies may have helped my excited fingers type while they were fucking on my keyboard during all this ...But I *DO* have a shit ton of pix (raw -again- and only resized to fit in this entry) & information that we can all joyfully reminisce on. :) ...BTW, for more matter of fact-ness, I highly recommend that you please check out ---> The SL Newser's articles on FF, thanks!
Okay, without any further disclaimer ado, let's finally fucking-A do this shit...! \m/

...Unfortunately, I never got to follow thru on the first important note I made to myself:
May wish to go back thru Zodiac and recapture everybody, since you're doing everydamnedbody
Oh, well. I did have the best of intentions...
This year, I'm going to overpack this entry by trying to capture at least one thing from each shop that I thought was the best example of what Fantasy Faire is all about. I'll put inworld links in here on where to buy stuff @ FF, and put links to MP shops (if applicable), but ultimately, it's up to you if you want to explore a creator's inworld shop to look for the best price. I just don't think I have the time to do all that. Look at their profile links I will also put in here, and that may help you find their shops! ;)
All FF SLURLS will take you to a safe place where you shouldn't be in another's way, while you can wait for possible lag to dissipate.
We'll just continue on and I'll put whatever informative creator profile links + MP links in here that I can, with each picture...
Fuck being a well-dressed fantasy avatar, my laptop's like a decade old, seriously! This is all about lag and complexity (and sorry about my graphics being turned all the way down in pix too, but you know what? --Fuck you, go visit the faire, yourself! XD Bwahaha!)...
...Even tho, now it's more like April 23rd to May 10th is just simply NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR THIS VAST OF AN EVENT!!! :p
Yeah, in my attempts to do Graham Dartmouth's Blender Bender mesh classes, I learned all about how when you need to experience things in an otherwise very crowded environment, you need to be like 0 complexity (which is impossible, BTW, even wearing nothing but alphas). ...But this isn't bad for my super-de-duper lowest lag outfit! ;)
...'Cause, see, I knew this awesome shit would be busy as fuck (especially with everyone being on their computers right meow ...stupid fucking pandemic)!

A NC (notecard) from Fiona, called "FionaFei - A Chinese Proverb," which reads:
A Chinese Proverb:
************************************
"A Chinese Proverb" is a "Worldling" created for the sole purpose of the Fantasy Faire at the Fairelands Junction in the style of Chinese ink-brush painting or "shui-mo." With lots of nourishment and love, it may perhaps one day grow into a world of its own! The worldling shows a scene of a pond in the midst of a bamboo forest with distant mountains in the background. Cranes in the foreground forage for fish as a fishing pole nearby successfully catches one. The actual proverb is meant for the viewer to discover or even formulate one for themselves.
About Me
*******************
FionaFei
I am classically trained in oil painting and electronic media. Much of my early years were spent painting landscapes and portraits using oil paint on canvas. However, I developed a love for non-photorealism over the years as an artist.
In continuation with my love of non-photorealism, I now produce art installations exhibit my work around the grid in Second Life. I am mostly known for my ShuiMo series, which is a collection of works in the style of Chinese ink brush painting. You can see many of them in my current ShuiMo Gallery.
Also, there were some object gifties of "A Chinese Proverb" inside (variations included 3 sized versions in "L," "M," & "S" + a "Not Fullbright Version," also with sizes "L," "M," & "S")...
...This drawbridge/dungeon door = can interact, as it lifts when touched...

The story of Aetherna:
"The city of Aetherna"
---------------------------------------------------------
This of Aetherna is the Somber Song,
the Golden Town of the Domain,
Who mothered a lineage so strong
that fought through darkness and pain.
[from The Song of Aetherna, 1.1-4)
--------------------------------------------------------
Scaud eplauxto lo ust oec,
ust gam Sips aupres scaud pleunc;
Aurgost sid el lane
nonduin paexorspeu aufui nem miob.
(From the Golden Point she sleeps,
watching the many Realms from afar;
the Mother embracing with pity
every lost child seeking guidance.)
[approximate translation from Trarca, native tongue of the Aethernans.]
The City of Aetherna is a place of hope and sorrow.
Its ruins, now inhabited by elusive creatures hidden within the lush vegetation, have seen better years, in a distant and almost forgotten era.
Aetherna had many names: Golden Town, because of its wealth, shared with entire Realm. Port Hope, not only due to its silver shores, but because every kin was welcomed into its walls. And also, the Aethernans called it Aurgost, "Mother," in their tongue.
The inhabitants were masters in many crafts, and their life quality improved dramatically as they discovered a new, magical element that they called Vaxtri ("Precious", in Trarcan).
Vaxtri was a never ending flow generated from the sap of timeless trees, and it provided a stable and safe power source to help in every aspect of the Aethernans daily life from igniting street lanterns, to start up crafting workbenches. In addition to that, they discovered a way to harness Vaxtri, to power up portals to new Faire Realms.
The citizens of Aurgost never were selfish with the discovery, as they always shared it with every other town and small village of the Realm. They believed that strength comes by not being alone and isolated. They were One Realm.
Unfortunately, this era was doomed to an end, because of the selfish and evil forces of the Unweaver.
Old and yellowed pages of the last remaining records narrate of a dramatic fight of the Aethernans against this crawling evil.
According to these tomes, the Unweaver succeeded in sneaking its creeping arms within one of the sources of Vaxtri, and slowly consumed its power for its own sake. This way, its dark influence slowly spread in Aetherna, and when the folks noticed it, it already was too late.
The battle was fierce, and every single warrior fought bravely against the Light Eater. There were casualties, many; the biggest tragedy that the City of Aetherna had ever witnessed, one from which it would have never recovered. There was no time to rest, as every single citizen had to remove this evil from what used to be their every day life.
Days passed, and they felt like months, years. The Unweaver seemed to grow stronger, and many believed that hope had left the place.
The last surviving Aethernans were forced to flee from their homes, and thanks to one of the last standing portals, they managed to escape, and found shelter in one of the many Faire Realms.
The battle was over. They thought the Unweaver won, but they were wrong. There was one aspect they forgot to consider: the power of Vaxtri.
The years of exposure to this element, quietly changed these people. They thought they managed to control it, but instead, its power began to flow through them. And now, in the places where the battle took place, and where Aethernans perished, flowers, ivies and trees began to grow. Decades afterwards, glowing grass was spotted by unaware travelers, in areas where grass shouldn't be, and many mentioned encountering mysterious entities, speaking a long forgotten tongue.
The Aethernans never truly died.
Vaxtri saved them, and they will forever live in their Golden Town.
If you see a playful tree, or a waving flower, stop by to appreciate its beauty, for it's a warrior who never gave up. And if you spot an entity, fear not, for it's a soul that's finally dancing free.
Free of pain.

"About MacMoragh an Gabha ~ Fenn MacMoragh"
No one knows the exact location of MacMoragh's Forge. There are rumors.....of course, there are always rumors some say it is high on the ruin of Islay, deep in a secluded cave. Himself the dragon, lights his forge and keeps the fires burnin' with his own breath. It was said that the dragon works his forge by the full moons light, that fed by Dragon Fire, as he pounds out the steel to bend and shape it to his will and imagination. Creating wonderful weapons, the like of which had never been seen beyond the fairy realm.
Fenn MacMoragh has been creating in SL for over six years. It started with a pair of boots, then I needed a new kilt, of course I wanted a sword. So then I decided to just keep on building. Eventually also started doing ladies clothes.
I do believe the basis for good business and to get return customers is to give great customer service. So, if you have any issue please drop me a notecard. If for some reason you did not receive your product please do the following. World > Account History. Find the transaction then copy it onto a nc and send it to Fenn MacMoragh.

...Oh, JFC, I know this lady from the yesteryears of fae newby-ness!
...It's jaw-dropping, to say the least, when the first one of your old gang of friends makes it into the big leagues of the best of the best, and didn't think to fucking warn you!!! :o :p XD
And, wow, DD helped her make the mesh book, and Bugs wrote the script! ...Well, I'll be... doubly sucker-punched!!! :o :DDD
So... I had to confront her:
[2020/04/26 00:30] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (majikvixen.lorefield): Congrats on the name change and being featured in FF! :D Imagine my surprise when I started blogging it and stumbled upon your shrine right next to my favorite funny goodie of the Fairy Princess Farts, LOL ...FF rawks! :D And congrats! ♥
[2020/04/26 00:30] Banshee (banshee.heartsong) [who used to be a few display name incarnates of Banshee (abinathra)]: Thanks!
[2020/04/26 00:32] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): What is going to happen is I am live writing for the next 7 days. This work will go into a book that will then be for sell for the last week of the Faire. All proceeds will go to RFL.
[2020/04/26 00:33] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): I've written 19 poems in the last two days. I had three before the Faire about anticipation and that kind of thing. I hope to have 50 new works at the minimum.
[2020/04/26 00:33] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (majikvixen.lorefield): That's so cool!!!
Then we go on to talk about this blog a bit, FF, & picture taking in SL + the technology that will or won't allow us to do it properly... And these are just a couple of noteworthy comments...
[2020/04/26 00:36] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): lol I have been shooting illustrations as I finish a poem. Everything is SO wonderful though. I haven't done a lot of just pictures.
[2020/04/26 00:41] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): I love to take pictures.
And we start talking about mesh and her book more...
[2020/04/26 00:44] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): Blender makes me cry.
[2020/04/26 00:45] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (majikvixen.lorefield): Me too! LOL
[2020/04/26 00:45] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (majikvixen.lorefield): But DD likes it LOL
[2020/04/26 00:46] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (majikvixen.lorefield): I actually was thinking your book was a Thinc book, until I saw DD's name on the build stuff, and then I had to ask her about it
[2020/04/26 00:47] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): Yes. Danelle meshed the book for me. Bugs scripted it.
[2020/04/26 00:47] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): Very lovely.
[2020/04/26 00:48] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): I am more than happy with the results. What I really love is that the books are rezzable, but can also be worn as a hud and read. It makes the print and pictures really large and easy to read.
[2020/04/26 00:55] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): :)
[2020/04/26 00:56] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): I wanted to do something for RFL. What I find interesting is that no one has ever done this before. The LitFest people do a LOT of amazing things, but they haven't done this.
[2020/04/26 00:58] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): No one has done live writing during a Faire and made a book of it, as far as I can tell.
[2020/04/26 01:03] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): My poetry is kind of like a ... party trick. If someone gives me a word I can usually write a poem about it in 10 minutes or so. That's part of what I've done for Songs of the Faire. If I am at the Fairchylde I'll ask for a word. Or today in chat someone was talking about how his tail was cuter than he was and that made him suspicious. So I contacted him and wrote a poem, The Tale of the Sentient Tail...
[2020/04/26 01:03] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): It could be better. I don't edit. I write and release.
Then she asks me about me, this blog, and then she starts talking about her experience of writing in SL...
[2020/04/26 01:17] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): I've been writing in SL the entire time I've been here. Until last year I was writing in a vacuum. Then a chance meeting turned into a gallery. The gallery into this.
[2020/04/26 01:17] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): Maybe you'll be the only one who buys a copy of the book. But that's ok.
[2020/04/26 01:19] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): If I can do my bit for RFL then I'll be happy. But the process has been extraordinary.
[2020/04/26 01:20] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (majikvixen.lorefield): Would love to hear more about it
[2020/04/26 01:20] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (majikvixen.lorefield): I mean, I can kinda guess what happened from knowing you... But I don't know all the little details
[2020/04/26 01:22] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): So a year ago I wandered into an RP here at the Faire. There was a pixie and I live wrote a poem and asked her to please hold still for a minute so I could get a picture.
[2020/04/26 01:23] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): Later that day I found the group of them tromping around. Lady mentioned the poem and I told them that I did that kind of writing all the time. One of the major players and second in command of the RP said, "I think I could use you." lol
[2020/04/26 01:24] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): There was no turning back. I met the Queen, moved to Sindaria, was named the Court Bard. The Queen built me a gallery.
[2020/04/26 01:24] ℳαʝɨҟᐺɨӽڠɳ (majikvixen.lorefield): /me smiles and nods 'cause she remembers visiting it
[2020/04/26 01:25] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): All because I was writing, essentially for myself.
[2020/04/26 01:27] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): It's just one of those things that is.
[2020/04/26 01:28] Banshee (banshee.heartsong): Writing makes me happy. Having readers is fantastic, But I write because I have to.
...And there you have it!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Please be sure and grab a landmark and visit our main gallery housed in a beautiful elven castle. While there, see our current main exhibition along with 3 floors of up to 20 different artists' work. We have special exhibits and events once a month for a feature artist along with keeping the entire gallery updated and pictures rotated at least every 3 months. We have a group of 49 in house artists who participate by providing original artwork for special events throughout the year, including the Enchantment event every 3 months.
While visiting the gallery you may want to stop by our magical forest sim, Lost Unicorn, which adjoins the gallery sim. We also have a NEW sim which just opened in March called Finian's Dream! It has a Celtic/Irish theme and includes a mystical, dark forest along with a castle and lovely countryside. Here are landmarks for both:

These pictures were psychedelic (the twinkling stars moved in all directions, and so did the diamond background, all while the main focus stayed still)
I apologize. I really wanted to be even better than last year's entry and outdo myself this year... But as fate would have it, things just weren't up to it! In the FF Lab Gab episode, they did say they added 2 more sims this year to give everyone something toO much to do! XD
...Oh!
...I know!
We can end this by watching that FF Lab Gab episode now...!!! ♥ :)
