Perch Sitter News - A Release and 2 Day Sale

Today marks the first appearance of Piddler's Perch at the Home & Garden Market Village.  It's a two week run of "Sweet Living" where you will find my newest release, "Jus' A Loveseat & Chair" This item is exclusive to the market for the duration and will be priced at $150 for the set once it is moved to the Main Store on Emerald Cove. 

I'm happy to be a part of the venue and hope that you all will take the time to visit and pick up this very down to earth and simple living room duo at the sale price :)

Probably bigger shopper news is the 2 Day Sale that I have implemented at the Cookie Jar location.  All inventory has been reduced to L$25 ~ August 27th and 28th ONLY.  Several items from the main store have been brought over as well.  Portions of the Castaway Keys Collection, Summer Rose Arbor, Sweet Solitude Comfy Corner Set and so much more.  Wanna see the pics?  Check out past posts to see the designs and the specs on them. 






Excluded in the sale is the LOW Letter "D" offering for this weekend.  I've put up the "Ryley Durham" Living Room for L$75 for this weekends trek. 

You can grab the whole list from the group notice sent out today or visit the LOW Group Blog to see who has what and for how much. 

Peekie ~ Peekie! Hunts Current & Coming

From the last post til now it could be thought that I've been seriously slacking in getting new designs out.  Pish!  Not true.  Piddler's Perch has the grande ole opportunity to be a hop on the hunt path in a few hunts.  YaYz!!  Yus, I'm all about excited!

First is a sim wide hunt that is actually a one day hunt, however, I'll be leaving the hunt goodie out for an additional day for those who might not be able to make it in on Saturday to nab it. 

Summer Garden Party is going on all day August 27th @  Cookie Jar Community where there is live entertainment and a hunt too.  You'll be lookin' for an Fudge Ice Cream on a Stick.  No hints that I'm aware of .. sorry!  Piddler's Perch is offerin' up this cute, animated picnic blanket with accesories just for the occasion ~


As with most of my designs the extras are bonuses once it goes up for sale.  Hit the Cookie Jar location while you can cause once the hunt is over this goodie will be public released and not for free.  Of course, new release price will be in effect for a few days ;)  While you are venturing to Piddler's Perch, wander beyond to pick up all the other great hunt items from the sims merchants. Your summer garden is waiting to be designed, why not do it for free?


Also hosted by the Cookie Jar Community is the Home & Garden Falling Leaves Hunt.  This beauty is sim wide and sure to be filled with awesome stuff to decorate and liven up your Second Life.  Nah, my hunt giftie isn't quite ready for this hunt just yet.  When it is .. you'll be the in the know!

Did you know that American Bazaar is turning 1 Year Old?  Yep, they are and to celebrate there'll be a fantastic hunt!  Over 100 stores will be participating to wish a Very Happy Birthday to Missqwerty Pevensky's brand of fashion.  Piddler's Perch get the pleasure of taking part as well.  To keep in line with the theme of glamour, beauty, style and celebration I've created a special giftie in honor of the occassion.  "Missus' Vanity Set" Classy, Elegant and Gold!  An appropriate goodie for a grand celebration.



Hope that ya'll like it :)  We're number 79 on the hunt path .. about half way down the line.  For a little nudge to get you off on the right foot ...

Sea Drifter Cafe Set Released

Evidently it is in my best interest to not say how long items will be on sale.  Thursday has long past and I've yet to hit the shops to set prices to regular.  Lazy?  Sometimes.  Forgetful?  Most of the time.   This totally comes out in your favor ;)  You get a wee bit more time to pick up the newest releases for promo prices. 

Speaking of New Releases -

SeaDrifter Cafe Set

Sea Drifter Cafe Set was released last night, August 13th, at both the mainstore and the cookie jar location.  Release price is L$30 as is becoming typical of "set" releases from Piddler's Perch.   Not to shabby a price for all you get ;)  There are also two new oil lamps in the store as well.  No piccy yet cause ... jus cause.  One is a Freebie and the other is L$10, both are 3 prims and touch light flame.  Soon as I get the camera flashin' I'll edit and post them here for ya.

It's On Sale ~

The Castaway Keys *Vibrance* Kitchen Hutch was our first entrant into this great sales group.  Not going to be repeative in the photo placement, check out the Castaway Keys Collection post to view the hutch and info on it. 

Castaway Keys *Vibrance* Collection

Piddler's Perch has been open for about two months give or take.  Probably would help to put dates on things once they are complete, apparently I'm not that organized.   Castaway Keys *Vibrance* Collection is a colorful, cheerful, easy living set of indoor and outdoor furnishings.  To date it's probably one of my favorite creations.  As time passes, it will continue to expand, not quickly because every thing that I put in my store takes me a good bit of time to dream up, let alone build.

Lazy Sunday Sitter

With the gumption to get it done, I jumped in to designing home and garden items with both feet. Didn't bother seein' how deep the water was neither, sink or swim right? Reckon time will tell which it'll be :)

The Lazy Sunday Sitter isn't the first thing that I created for Piddler's Perch, but it is the first thing I sold! Opening price was L$60, today the two person bench can be found for L$10/ It's not the most attractive piece of yard furniture but it serves its purpose. It holds a special place in my inventory cause it's also the first go at animations. Talk about jumpin' in with both feet .. if ya gonna do it, go for the gusto!
