As you can tell from the date of my last blog post, I’ve been gone for a long time… Dreaming.  I can’t say that much in particular has happened, other than hanging out here and there, exploring other virtual worlds, and of course that great otherworldly dream we call “Real Life”.  For those of you that have stuck with me in Second Life through the long year+ of inactivity while my shop was on auto-pilot, thank you!

I’m feeling pulled back to Second Life to do some more designing, now that we have this new and exciting world of Mesh to play with.  I don’t know how long it will take me to figure it out, but know that I’ll be thinking of you and dreaming up something lovely I hope you’ll enjoy.

In the meantime, I’ve found a new piece of land to build my Second Life shop on, in a dreamy little sim called “Avita“.  The beautiful new shop was built my me, using the lovely “Faery Wall Hedge Kit” from Creative Fantasy.  I bought the kit to make the hedge for the garden area, and liked it so much I decided to build the whole shop out of it, well mostly, but it was great inspiration!  I just love the set.  It comes with stone walls carved with lovely faery/angel bas-relief, topped with lush sculpted hedges.  The wonderful celtic knot archway gates and lamp pillars are included, with several lamp styles to choose from.  Drop by Julia Hathor’s Creative Fantasy sims to find it and tell her Aria sent you.

Come on over and check out the New Aria’s Dream in Second Life, and if you come during the next week (Sept 13th-21st) I’ve got a special 100L Sale on everything to Celebrate the new digs (Sale is at this location only!). All gowns, all elven outfits, only 100L each with big discounts on the Dream Packs.  No new items yet, same things, in a beautiful new setting.  So if there’s something you’ve been wanting to add to your collection, now’s the time.

The sim owner has said that light commercial is acceptable, so help me out a bit and don’t throw any wild parties while I’m gone, alright?

Hope to see you there!

Sneak Preview - Maeve Gown from Aria's Dream

Here am I;
The May Queen
blossom wreathed
and draped with curling ivies
leaf and vine.
Through my hair
the pale new shoots weave
and around my toes the red stems
twine.
Dream Child am I;
I wander through my mind
in search of wonderous lands
perhaps no more.
Summer shifting light
too soon I fade!
a whispered shadow to return again
next May…
