Oh We Did Dance!

Many lovely free gifts await you at the newly opened Sterling Gardens. The Varriale Sim was certainly the place to be for the Grand Opening Ball yesterday.

A hub of creative designers and Pleasure Gardens make this venue a delightful combination. Well worth the time to explore, whether you are new to the virtual world experience, or have been here from the start. There are many exciting shops in which to linger and enjoy the expert choices of word and texture. (See previous post for more)

Take in the leafy view from the balcony at A la Folie. Admire the peacocks.

Visiting the rooms at Rococco is as breath-taking as a tour of some classic RL stately home, and as educational. 

Silk-Weaving for Beginners

Busy, over the past few weeks, reading Germaine Greer's absorbing biography, Shakespeare's Wife, and Charles Nicholl's The Lodger, which gives an excellent and detailed account of Shakespeare's sojourn with the French Mountjoy family on Silver Street in Jacobean London, I decided to make this set of imaginary books for April 23rd Shakespeare's Birthday. I included the frequently overlooked but real, narrative verse poem, Venus and Adonis. Greer describes how 'virtually all of the copies of the more than eleven editions of Venus and Adonis were read to pieces.' It was 'passed from hand to hand by excited housewives' and 'kept under their pillows'.

The shop is the new Kuraeyo shop at Sterling Gardens, Varriale. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Seladia/49/230/303 

The Sterling Gardens development is delicate and elegant and, to be part of this stunning group of designers, I am desperately, urgently, stretching my building skills.

Fun, animated friends and birds at Never You Mind.
