Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Gathering Mushrooms

November 04, 2024

There’s a really cute new VIP hairstyle from Truth called Lyrical, a loose and slightly messy braid with some strands around the face. I had my farmwife head off to the woods to pick some mushrooms, wearing a simple kirtle from the Annex, and perhaps her hair would look a bit like that by the time she returned to her farm with a full basket.

The farm is a full kit from Del-kae Aedilis, easily rezzed out with everything (even the animals) in place. It belongs to the Medieval Series but could cover a range of periods; its a very classic and rustic farm. And since the houses are unfurnished inside, you can adjust those to the period of your liking.

A Golden Treasure at the Dog & Pony Show

September 10, 2024

The amazing Dog & Pony Show is back! From September 6th to October 6th you can visit the biggest animal-themed event in Second Life to shop everything you might possibly need for your Teeglepets and Teegle avatars. Coats, tack, barn accessories and whole barns, it is all available. But of course, this is not just a shopping event, but there will also be plenty of performances and demonstrations as well as the amazing One of a Kind auctions. Do not miss out on this!

As always, Teegle has gone all-in and has no less than FOUR new pets available at the event. There is a cropped as well as a natural Doberman and two new horses, the Indian Marwari with its very special ears and the gleaming Akhal Teke with its unique metallic coat. I will be showing you all of these and I just had to give golden Hakan the Akhal Teke the first post. Such a special beauty he is, shining gorgeously in the evening light. A video would have been even better, but alas I have a stubborn cold that has me croaking and sniffling.

Like all Teeglepets Hakan comes in a no copy or a copy version, allowing you to have a whole herd of these rare horses if you so desire. Various add-on creators have already refitted their tack to the new breeds and there will also be a couple of brand-new tack sets from Teegle later on during the event. For this post, I decided to show off my avatar’s horsemanship and went without bridle and saddle, which of course looks particularly fancy when also using a couple of the archery poses from Animosity that are also available at the event. These pose both horse and rider and include bow props for each pose and there is both a male and a female set.

A Candle in the Dark

January 09, 2024

The December round of We Love Role-Play stays up during January as well, so if you failed to shop with all the holiday preparations going on (or if you spent most of the month sick, like me), you still have the chance to visit.

Among the items available are this medieval kirtle from the Annex and a lovely mature skin by Poema which I think looks stunning on LeLutka’s Lake head and with steel-grey hair.

The walking candle is by Candle & Cauldron for Winter’s Hollow and comes in brass, copper, iron and silver and also includes decor versions. The candle is also ready for use with a PBR viewer, but that is not what I am using here.

A Lady’s Fancy

August 29, 2022

Puppy, vacation and getting the website ready for House of the Dragon. Those are some of my excuses for why I haven’t blogged for several weeks; while I could have found the time, I’ve been too busy to give inspiration a chance. I stared for two full weeks at the same outfit, trying to figure out what to do with. In the end, I changed it up and decided to head down to the market instead to inspect the clothseller’s wares and perhaps order a new gown.

The Hedeby Clothmaker’s Stall from Del-ka Aedilis is out at Redeux until August 30th.  The set includes a market tent with pennants, a table with bales of fabric and additional fabric in crates and baskets.

My lady is wearing a gown from the Annex and the hairstyle with the two long braids is Aliana from Wasabi. It includes various 80’s-inspired ornaments on the braids but for this post I turned them off. The skin is a special version of Salma from DeeTaleZ, a weekend sale item from a couple of weeks ago. I love the freckles!
