The Month of Love

June is upon us, and that means it's WEDDING SEASON! We all have our ideal "dream wedding", and the Faerie Crew want to help make your dream come true... and save you some $Ls while you're at it!

Nestled in a quiet area behind the Gairdin na Sidhe is the Morrighan Square Garden Wedding Venue. We wanted everyone to be able to have their special day in a lovely romantic setting, regardless of your budget. This free-to-use venue is the perfect setting to say those "I Do"s. (Don't worry if green isn't your color, contact one of the faerie crew and we'll show you the other color schemes!)

And I knew the only way to show you all the facets of the venue was to grab myself a groom! Sure, he was a little shy, so I proposed to him, instead. Hey! It's 2010! Girls can do that!

We made our way up the aisle, and pledged our love for each other, 'til end of blogpost do us part.

And a wedding wouldn't be a wedding without a little liplock. For some reason it took several attempts to get "just" the right photo to share. **grins**

We toasted our celebration with some bubbly, and had some delicious slices of wedding cake.

And danced away the evening behind the venue, plenty of room for any friends that would like to join in your special day.

Let us help you celebrate your love.

Flowers can be found at the Gairdin Na Sidhe wedding shop. And a very special THANK YOU to Zane for being my model groom.

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween everyone!

As the weather is getting colder (at least on the northern hemisphere), leaves turning and days getting shorter, we get to amuse ourselves with more holidays to keep our spirits up! First one is of course All Hallow's Eve, better known as Halloween. In the picture below, you can see what goodies we have in store for this occasion: 3 cookie bouquets for trick or treating (they each give out animated sugar-coated pumpkin cookies), a Halloween bouquet to spook your friends or visitors (if they click it, bats will fly to them, or you can say "spook" and their name for the same effect) and a witchie cauldron that hands out a yummy green witch's brew! All these of course are transferable, so you can get them as gifts as well as use them as decoration in your own home.

From left to right:
Cauldron with Brew: 6 prims / 25 L$ (yes, it really is only 25)
Cookie Bouquet ~ Trick or Treat : 7 prims / 125 L$
Cookie Bouquet ~ Haunted : 7 prims / 125 L$
Cookie Bouquet ~ Happy Halloween : 7 prims / 125 L$
Halloween Bouquet (with bat poof) : 6 prims / 50 L$

The Haunted Cookie Bouquet is currently our Midnight Mania prize, so if you get 30 people to slap it, you save yourself 125 L$ and get it for free! The Halloween Bouquet is the bi-monthly half-price sale, which means you get it at 50 L$ instead of 100 L$ till Halloween!

We also regularly get asked if we have funeral flowers, to commemorate those SL friends that have deceased in RL. So we decided to make in memoriam flowers. So far, we only have this big stand of white roses, but we're looking to expand the range, so any suggestions are welcome.

White Roses Memoriam : 7 prims / 100 L$

On the hunt front, the Sperm Hunt started mid October. You can find more info on the hunt and the prizes on this blog: http://luckychairstalkers.blogspot.com/
Upcoming hunts are the Pilgrim Hunt (in the Gairdin na Sidhe Flower Shop) and the Shining Stars Hunt (in the Gairdin na Sidhe Wedding Shop), both running from November 1st till November 31st.

And last but not least... Mark your calendars for a big Halloween Party at Gairdin na Sidhe on October 29th! Bones Writer will be playing Live and a couple of DJ's will keep the party going! There will also be prizes for best Halloween costume! Stay tuned for more news on that and the upcoming hunts closer to date.

Come visit us at the store to check out these goodies and have a fun-tastic Happy Halloween!

New Flickr account!

Hello everyone,

since we have 3 hunts going (one starting tomorrow) and each of them having 2 gifts (one from the Gairdin na Sidhe Flower Shop and one from the Gairdin na Sidhe Wedding Shop) we decided to create a Flickr account to post all our pictures on, so you can get a sneak preview on every hunt as well as other store products that will be added in the future. Today we added the pictures of the current running hunts: the GLBT Equality Hunt, the Dr. Seuss Hunt and the Princess Hunt.

Go check it out!

September News...

Hello fair folk,

It's the first of the month and so that means time to update some of the perks we offer you at our store. Since it's the beginning of school again, we sharpened our Bouquet of Pencils and we put it in the Midnight Mania board. For those of you who can guess where the idea of a bouquet of pencils came from, you get one free, regardless of lockdown, hehehe.

Bouquet of Pencils : 8 prims / 75 L$

Of course we also updated our bi-monthly (new month, new bi-monthly). Some of you may recognize it from the Passion Hunt, but those who missed it, the Tender Love Bouquet is now for sale in the store and will be at half price for 50 L$ till September 16th.

August Update

Since the 100 red roses didn't hit the target, we changed the Midnight Mania board to a target of 25 and the prize to the Cookie Bouquet - Bee Happy (with the inscription "Don't Worry, Bee Happy"), which has a built-in animated cookie dispenser. It locked once already but the prize will stay in till September 1st so if you want a free one, come slap it and bring all your friends too! It's transfer, so you can give it as a gift as well.

Cookie Bouquet ~ Bee Happy : 7 prims / 125 L$

The bi-monthly halfprice for the second half of August is a cute bouquet of blue cornflowers in a sculptie green ceramic vase. It's now for sale at 35 L$ (instead of 75) so be sure not to miss this one either!

Line of Products 1 : Teacup Line

It's been two weeks since the last update, so high time for a new post! We'ld like to introduce all the different things we're currently offering, so in the next few weeks, each of them will be presented to you in this blog.

Let's start with the latest, our cute Teacup Line in the Gairdin na Sidhe Flower Shop. It's an adorable line of colorful teacups with a variety of flowers and/or plants in them, ideal as gift or for your own home. Each of them is only 6 prims (thanks to the aid of a sculptie for the plants/flowers) and included a shadow to make them look even more realistic.

Gairdin na Sidhe Faerie Tea Party

Karmelle Latte, our lovely shop assistant and co-manager, has created a new line for the store, the most adorable teacups holding flowers or plants like little daisies and ivy. To celebrate the launch of this line and the start of the Through the Looking Glass Hunt, we're throwing a party this Saturday, May 23rd 2009. All teacups will be on sale at half price then so don't miss out on this golden opportunity!

The party is held at the Gairdin na Sidhe Party Pasture (next to the Wedding Shop) and will kick off at 2 pm with Bones Writer playing LIVE for an hour and then DJ Nighthawk Vita will take over for a couple more hours.

Also on the news, we have 2 new artists in our gallery, Chrome Underwood, who has an interesting style of urban mixed art works and Eli Tauber, who has a keen photographer's eye in real life, leaning a little to the darker, gloomier beauty of this planet. With any luck a third new artist will have joined us by the time of the party, so you can go wander around and enjoy the beautiful works and surroundings that are to be found at Gairdin na Sidhe.

Hope to see you there!
The Faerie Crew

iHunt Through the Looking Glass

As promised, more information about the second hunt we entered, Through The Looking Glass. It starts May 24th and ends July 4th. Whereas both the Flower Shop and the Wedding Shop have a magnifying glass hidden for the SL Discovery hunt, this one will only be a hidden mirror in the Flower Shop, but with items from both stores inside, as you can see in the pictures.

Happy Hunting and see you soon!

The Faerie Crew
