New Garden Items

I'm rushed today - lots going on in real life - but I wanted to at least post pictures of the new items that are available!    Four new hanging baskets with petunias to brighten up the outdoors.    Each are 50L and copy/mod.  Find them IN the garden center hanging from the wall or on Marketplace.

  

Three new fern/palm plants with shadows - 2 prims each and 35L, copy/mod.    They're located in the shrub section  or on Marketplace.

The Ladies Have Arrived

I was reading an interesting article about tree genders - yes there are male and female trees.    The male produces spores and pollen which 'fertilizes' a female plant which in turn produces new trees.   It got me thinking....can I tell just by looking at a tree whether its male or female?    Do the males have a remote control firmly clinched in their branches?   Do the females have their credit cards hidden in the twists and turns of their twigs?

Miss Payday makes no bones about it - she's female AND she heading out shopping.  With her hat and shopping bag AND the joy of knowing its payday, she'll be the talk of your neighborhood.   Only 7 prims and 100L.



EXCLUSIVE to Persnickity, Seraphina (the firey one) is the light that every garden needs.   She oversees all the little seedlings and adds a soft warm glow with the two candles she carries.   Sink her roots into the ground a bit and let her light up your life.   20 Prims and 100L.

I love all the 'dressings' that go into a garden or yard - signs, lights, candles.   The Cottage Lantern with Flowers is one such thing.   The old twisted branch with its climbing vine and flowers at the base holds the candle-lit lantern and adds color and warmth to your great outdoors.   7 Prims and 40L.

All three are now available at Persnickity.  Grab your tp (HERE).

Don't forget the Gacha Carnival still going on.    I've got the book-end sets for sale there at only 75L each.   Once the carnival is over I'll be adding them to the mainstore for 150L per set so grab them now!    (See the previous blog entry for pictures and direct teleport)    

The Supporting Cast

Its warm outside!   Really and truly WARM!   Maybe I was just being impatient *my middle name* but I was beginning to wonder if spring would ever spring/sprung/sprang.   The first sign of bulbs bursting through the soil forces me to pull out the gardening magazines and start re-designing what I'm going to plant.   Shall I keep the all pink and purple bed over by my peonies?     What perennials shall I add to the cottage garden by the deck?  New birdbath in the garden under my dining room window?   Sighs.  The ideas are endless but the result is priceless.   I'm a flower addict and I admit it.   It takes me four or five trips to the nursery to buy all the flowers I need, and then about a week to get them planted, whether in the ground or in pots, and then.....into the garage.....to the back.....right hand corner.....the 'ornaments' ....waiting to make their seasonal debut.   Box by box...one by one....placed in a spot amidst the flowers.    The garden signs.    The garden faces.    The garden critters.   The flowers are the stars but the garden ornaments are the supporting cast.   They give dimension to a garden - they enhance the garden.   As much as I love the flowers, I love each and every garden ornament just as much.    And now....garden ornaments coming to Persnickity.   I've just started and there will be lots more to come.   The supporting cast does just that - support the main characters and you can't have one without the other.

Three face garden plaques are also available - place them face down in the garden, hang on a wall or let them 'peek' out from behind the flowers.     Sold separately at 25L each, copy/mod.

Everything can be found at the mainstore location, in the garden bed attached to the right-hand side of the store.

ALSO!!!     The Gacha Carnival just opened!    It runs from April 5th to May 5th and each creator has EXCLUSIVE items in their Gacha machines.      Persnickity is participating, five different styles of book-ends are available.     They're only 75L per set at the Carnival - after May 5th the price doubles to 150L per set.  

Don't miss the Gacha Carnival where you can pick up great EXCLUSIVE deals!      Click (HERE) for your teleport.     Enjoy!!!

I'm Blushing!

Zan Beck is a blogger who I met about a month ago at the store and she's written THE most complimentary post on her blog about Persnickity.   Thank you so MUCH Zan - you write with passion and a huge dose of creativity.

It always pleases me when I hear that someone loves the store, not only for the items available but also appreciates the prices.   I've always wanted to offer items at a low cost - I truly believe that you can have beautiful things and not break the bank.   The joy of designing is just that - the joy of designing and that in itself is priceless.   You can read Zan's blog by clicking (HERE).

Find the Golden Eggs

Every holiday maintains its traditions with me and it wouldn't be Easter without the egg hunt.    I've hidden five golden eggs at Persnickity - they can be both outside and inside the mainstore.     They are free and the gifts inside are all related to Easter, so hurry on over and find them so you can use them for the holiday.  

This is what you're looking for:

The eggs are numbered #1 through 5.    The gifts are as follows:

Egg #1 - The Cracked Egg Car - jump in and ride around in style.

Egg #2 - Bowl with Easter Eggs is a bright addition to any home

Egg #3 - Easter Teacup Candle - click candle for on/off control

Egg #4 - Chocolate bunny and I turn my head when you bite its ears off.  

Egg #5 - Bright framed picture of dyed Easter eggs.

Good luck on the hunt and Happy Easter from Persnickity!!

New Releases

I've had these adorable cottage four-poster beds staring at me for the last two months and I've finally finished them!    I'm probably not going to be too popular with the masses because they are NOT sex beds but there are lots of us who design just because we love to decorate our houses and the great outdoors.   I'm also surrounded by many women who aren't interested in engaging men in 'pixel sex' so I'm confident there are lots more like us out there!!   This is just a heads-up for anyone who might be surprised and/or NOT happy when they find out the beds are just a sleeping and relaxing spot for one person!    The most fun you're going to have is jumping on the bed.   :)  

All three beds have matching accessories in the mainstore - curtains, rugs, lamps, etc.    You can design a bedroom that says style.     They all contain five animations - four are sleeping/resting and one is a jumping on the bed animation (something I STILL long to do as an adult).      They sell for 100L each and can be found upstairs in the mainstore or on Marketplace.   See below for Marketplace link.


For those that need or want an instant landscape, the Beech Forest with Grass is the perfect solution.   All linked, you'll have 10 lush green trees with a cushy grass lawn planted in one fell swoop.  Its copy and mod so you can landscape an entire sim in no time at all.    The best part - its only 6 Prims!   Great for obtaining privacy between houses or just adding a natural scene to your outdoors.  It sells for only 75L and is displayed at the mainstore in front of the Garden Center, along with two other colors of trees.

New New New

There are so many new items this week that I'm positive I'm going to forget a few but here goes.....

As I've mentioned before I love hearing what my customers are looking for and I encourage them to drop me a note if I'm not inworld.   If I decide to make it that person gets the first one as a free gift.   Cheers Mari - these are for you!    An absolute doll and smart, funny lady, Mari started reading off her refrigerator magnets to me and two wall decals were born at Persnickity.

New Wall Decals - upstairs in the mainstore - 25L each


Bunny FEVER continues and they don't have to just be out at Easter.  

Remember the "in crowd"?   You will wish you were included in this light-hearted happy-go-lucky group once you see them.   Laughing and thoroughly enjoying each other's company out on their picnic (picnic basket and blanket included) these five can be used all together or even separately if you want.   Either way you'll have five adorable bunnies to play with.   100L and can be found under trees near the Garden Center.

Hall trees - walk in the front door and throw your stuff on the hall tree.   Hat, umbrella with puddle of water, and towel have found their way onto the hall tree.   There's plenty of room to sit down while you're taking off your shoes.

The Shabby Ivory Hall Tree and the Shabby White Hall Tree are only 45L each and can be found on the main floor of the store.    One has pink accents, the other yellow.  

The Spring Wheelbarrow is the first sign of putting winter behind us and the anticipation of flowering bulbs soon to be bursting through the ground.

Its pink (of course!) and filled with large colored eggs and tulips.   The wheelbarrow is scattered around outside and sells for 50L.

What would a week be without drowning in chocolate again?   I'd say not a very satisfying one so I made sure that didn't happen.   Easter candy candy candy.....

These are all in the Garden Center - Easter Room, along with other items:

Marshmallow Easter Peeps -  20L -
Chocolate Bunny with gift tag and bow - 20L
Persnickity Easter Basket - filled with chocolate bunny, chocolate eggs and Peeps - 35L
Dozen Eggs - one dozen white eggs and one dozen colored eggs - 25L


Four NEW framed pictures and only 25L each.  

Preetttttyyyyy!!!   They are upstairs in the mainstore.  

If you haven't stopped by yet for the new March Group Gift don't forget to wear your tag and grab it at the landing point.
