MINE - GIMME - NOW

It is no secret how much I love jackets ... some might say it boarders on being a fetish, yes?


You can get yours at [CIVVIES] @ Kyoot Army HQ

Ivalde Victorian Bustle Gown

I am not a huge fan of Victorian dresses (Victorian jackets yes, dresses no), but this one for sure appeals to my aesthetic. Rich colors, subtle fabrics, a bit of lace, a touch of velvet, and a heap of oo la la! You can get yours (or treat your favorite lady) at the Ivalde main store in Second Life.

Tag you're it!

I have been tagged, TWICE... dirty rotten scoundrels!

Okay so the rules are as follows...

(1) Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

(2) People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.

(3) At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

(4) Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

(5) New rule added by Serra: If you get tagged and dont have a blog, post your list as a comment.

Simple, right? Here are my facts:

1) Favorite color is pink, then black.

2) I can't stand dairy products, but favorite food is ice cream. Grasshopper Fudge.

3) I am the oldest child, my father was the oldest child of his family, and his mother was the oldest child of her family, whose mother was the oldest child of her family.

4) When I dream, the main feature is the building the dream is taking place in, and there is always a building.

5) I am completely and totally addicted to Diet Mt. Dew

6) I am not an elf girl in RL, but my RL best friend is… really

7)I read about 330 words a minute

8) I actually like washing windows.

And now for my tags, if you dont have a blog, you can post your facts here as a comment, so you have no excuse not to make a list!

And even if you do have a blog, you should post your answers here as a comment. (yes its a new rule, and yes its kinda cheeting... but I don't have 8 friends with blogs)

New Winterfell Forum!

I recently posted a question to the Winterfell group asking if people would like to have more group notices from residents about events, landmarks and solicitations.

Instead of opening up the group chat to spam and unwanted notices… most of which don’t actually get to people… I have asked Azazeal to set us up with a Winterfell forum.

We are not quite finished with the cosmetic set up, and I am sure there will be more sections added, but I couldn’t wait to get this rolled out to everyone.

http://winterfell.freeforums.org

I hope the forum will be an enjoyable addition to our growing community.

Keeping up with this forum is not mandatory, I will still send out the super important updates, covenant changes and official Winterfell news to the group with in world notices.

Much love,
Miss Serra

Winterfell Newsletter - November 2007

As you all know I have been a bit crazy insane busy the last few weeks, so I thought a quick run down of what has been happening and what is coming up for Winterfell would be helpful.

In October, Winterfell was featured in the Second Life magazine Prim Perfect. It was an honor to be recognized by such a well known publication. You can read all the articles here.

Also in October the dark Victorian themed sim of Winterfell Absinthe was delivered. I added this themed sim to act as the gateway to the amazingly popular and respected Victorian/Steampunk nation of Caledon. Early next year Winterfell and Caledon will share an ocean link and we will be able to either sail or take a ferry between our two fine nations. I can not begin to tell you how excited I am about this link, it has been a long time dream of mine to share a boarder with my dear and long time friend Desmond Shangs nation.

In the next week or so another set of void sims will be delivered, and next month I will be ordering Winterfell Laudanum (another dark Victorian sim). When Laudanum is delivered, Winterfell land holdings will be 983,040 square meters. WOW!!

Which brings me to my current project: I have regained the 8192 meters of land north of the village, to re create Winterfell Castle. To facilitate the new build the north wall of the village will need to be taken out so the castle opens up into the village. This has the potential to be another semi painful expansion. I need to ask for some help with the following:

- Merchants who have larger shops and are willing to move into smaller locations with the same prim allowances

- Merchants who are willing to move to a second floor location.

- Tent merchants will be moved to proper shops

- And finally, something that I don’t want, but if there happens to be any merchants who would like to leave the village, I can offer a refund on remaining rent.

When the castle is finished there will be the following areas:

- Club 13 (looking for a better name, if anyone has ideas. Does not need to have 13 in the name.)

- Community meeting hall

- Space for the upcoming Winterfell Library

- Shop space in the base of the castle to help replace shops lost by the expansion

- Formal open gardens and gazing pool in the middle of the village

- My personal residence.

In addition to all the physical changes in the village, I will be working at making the village a proper “capital” for Winterfell. Silverdrake Sparrow has started the community projects by setting up a group Flickr account, you can see it here. Anyone looking for a place to hold regular meetings, group events, civic services will have my full and enthusiastic support.

That’s it for now. Please IM or email me if you are able to help me with the village expansion, or if you have ideas on how to get it all to work.

Much love,

Miss Serra

Winterfell Flickr Album...

Late last week Silverdrake asked me if I would support a Flickr Album, and I said "Hell yeah!!" So here it is and I have to say that I am stunned with the images. I have always been a pretty hard core Second Life supporter... but now with the spectacular addition Windlight, I think I am officially a fangirl.



In the past year I have been so happy with what everyone has done with Winterfell. And now to see these photographs I am moved beyond words. Everyone has taken my vision (the very essence of my heart to be honest) and embellished, nurtured and sent it soaring past my wildest dreams!

To say that I am proud of you all for making Winterfell as beautiful as it is, would be an understatement of enormous proportion.

I love you all!!

Miss Serra

go now... go quickly... post more photos!!!
