Vallacia creators - meadowWorks, Avatar Bizarre , Arachne, and Epic Toy factory

Click here for a list of all the stores on Wildehaven Marsh a with SLURL's to their main stores I will not be posting SLURL's individually, as you can get them all at this handy link. If you need one for an item I have on that is NOT at Fantasy fair, and that will mostly be hair and poses, Ask for it! I'll be happy to tell you, but I am trying to highlight the Fantasy Faire items, or items by FF vendors only.

And so, here we have my last Sim Creators highlight for Fantasy Faire 2015. I'd like to thank ALL our wonderful creators that came out to support the cause. Not just the ones I blogged. They are all very generous in both what they gifted to us bloggers, but with their time, energy and creativity in making items to sell to raise funds for Relay For Life. The gorgeous sims and amazing creations are great, but it is the cause of Fighting Cancer that really brings us all together. And it is a fight we will win one day. And that is what makes Fantasy Faire the amazing thing it is. So thank you, for your help in that.

Now onto highlighting the last few creators. Starting with Two outfits by Avatar Bizarre

First up we have an outfit I fell in geeky love with the moment I saw it and KNEW it was an outfit I HAD to get for my husband and take a couples photo with. It's called Goblin King and the Female version is Goblin Queen. Why yes, we're both dressed as Jareth from the movie Labyrinth. I have a love for movie styled clothing and Labyrinth is a special favorite. The boots are sold separately from the main outfit, and my only regret is I could not find Jareth's Amulet for sale in SecondLife. SOMEONE GET ON THAT!

I like to think of this as what happens when an adult Sarah goes back to Jareth...

This next outfit by Avatar Bizarre is called Boudica after the Celtic warrior queen. It is an excellent piece of female chain mail and some plate armor. It also comes with a cape but I didn't wear that, capes and wings look kinda silly.

The last outfit I have to show you is by Arachne called Ashta. It's a great mutli tiered purple dress, and it comes with jewelery!



Click for bigger


And now for the last two sets of Rezzable items! First by Sim designer Mayah ,and you can find these rezed in the spice factory, Epic Toy Factory's THE 2015 RFL Vallacian Fae Holding Bubbles. Three glass and iron bubbles filled with flowers and grass with poses. Fun if kinda creepy.

And now we have some items I have been waiting since I got the box to show off! Curse the fact that they shop was on the last sim on the route I take through the Fairelands! I've been friends with meadowWorks's Garvie Garzo since I blogged for her first time being at fantasy faire two years ago. And I have loved her stuff since. This year she even took a step up and one of her works is part of a sim Focal point! Remember those amazing hippocampus (hippocampi ?) on Odyessy? Well they are by her! And EXCLUSIVELY for faire you can get the mirrored set. After faire you can only get one. They are called Waterhorse Pair.

I am showing them off here with a few of her other items all of which would look amazing in an underwater scene. Fantastic Voyage Carved Stone, which is an ancient looking relic, Dolphin bubble fountain, you can turn the bubble effect on and off. And the Apparatus of the Ancients, which upon touching the base, plays whale and dolphin sounds and lets out a mystical sounding hum.

All her items are resizable via script and modify and Copy I believe, so you can fit them to your area.

So, there you have it, Just a few days left to get to shopping. So head over to Vallacia spend some lindens and help fight cancer!

Now I head off to do the hunt at last!

Fantasy Faire 2015 Sim - Vallacia

VALLACIA | SLURL | SHOPS
Sponsored by Epic Toy Factory.

Vallacia (by Mayah Parx)A floating market town, a bustling trade hub where denizens of the Fairelands come to trade for even the most obscure of items. Dark & weatherbeaten, all matter of constructions crisscross the waters to keep this hodgepodge of shacks,stalls and barges afloat. Magical mysteries abound in this haven for traders and thieves alike.



Like a floating version of the marketplace at the start of Stardust, Vallacia is the stunning last of the fairelands shopping sims. I have gone "round the clock", and all that is left is the hunt. PHEW!

It holds creator Mayah Parx, AKA the Toymaker, signature style. A few scattered "flufflula" trees and the colored windows in the buildings tipped it off to me. The sim is all platforms and water, so I have fun trying to NOT end up in the drink like I usually do on over the water walkways. I loved the lamps along the walkways and some of the stores set out rezed versions of their items adding to the sutble whimsy of the sim.

The focal point is a large spice factor with a giant figure of a white child emerging from bubbles near it on one side, and a ruins with large purple flowers on the other. The build looks simple, but has many hidden things to catch your eye.

It's quite an enjoyable sim, just hope you have surer footing on platforms then i do!

Wildehaven Marsh creators - Beyond Persuasion, Solarium, BluPrintz and more

Click here for a list of all the stores on Wildehaven Marsh a with SLURL's to their main stores I will not be posting SLURL's individually, as you can get them all at this handy link. If you need one for an item I have on that is NOT at Fantasy fair, and that will mostly be hair and poses, Ask for it! I'll be happy to tell you, but I am trying to highlight the Fantasy Faire items, or items by FF vendors only.

Just a few outfits from here...Also the note card I had listing creators alphabetically first then sim second had a small mistake and listed Black Tulip on Poppetsborough when it is really on Wildhaven, or possibly both...so I used one of their poses again here!



Click for bigger


First up we have a simple but pleasant gown by Beyond Persuasion Design called {W}Dragon realm: Spell seeker gown . Yes the sleeves really do go down quite a bit past your fingertips!



Click for bigger


Next up is a gorgeous silk like gown by Solarium called Flora! I think this is the first time I've seen a dress from them, they are more known for their spell systems. I love the coloring on this gown. The pose I used here is by Black Tulip called Dark fairy #2



Click for bigger
And lastly we have an outfit by BluPrintz consisting of two parts, the Golden Magus Jacket and the separate Armor set of the same name. I added the purple body suit under it as I was not comfortable being THAT exposed. And I do kinda wish I had picked a white body suit as the styling of the breastplate reminds me of She-ra a lot. And I am using another pose by Black Tulip, this is another of their relay offerings The Magician #1.



Click for bigger


And the two Rezable items to show you! The tree is by Vita's Boudoir and is called Enchanted tree and the gazebo is by Beyond Majestic and is called the Dragon realm: Calming rest gazebo

And thats what I have to show off for Wildehaven Marsh, head on over and do some shopping and support Relay for Life!

Fantasy Faire 2015 Sim - Wildehaven Marsh

WILDEHAVEN MARSH | SLURL | SHOPS
Sponsored by Solarium.

Wildehaven Marsh (by Rynn Verwood)Settled at the edge of a lake, the village was created centuries ago, as a safe haven for those who practiced magic. An air of abandonment floats over the town now, however don’t be fooled, its magic is still much alive as one can see in the soft glows shining through the ivy covered windows.



Wildehaven Marsh is a lovely little town, full of one of my favorite styles of buildings, on the edge of a calm lake. Candles grouped on the stone walls light your way in the evening as you make your way through the sim. A small touch i rather liked. And hovering above it all, watching the slumbering hamlet, is Fairechylde 2 the Fantasy Faire radio Dragon. Making yet another appearance in the Faire lands.

Its another simple yet lovely sim, a good rest of the senses after the previous amazing sims. Nice and calm, like a quite cabin in the woods by a lake.

YoZakura Creators - Anachron, SAKIDE, Rook, Azul and more

Click here for a list of all the stores on YoZakura with SLURL's to their main stores I will not be posting SLURL's individually, as you can get them all at this handy link. If you need one for an item I have on that is NOT at Fantasy fair, and that will mostly be hair and poses, Ask for it! I'll be happy to tell you, but I am trying to highlight the Fantasy Faire items, or items by FF vendors only.

With it's obvious Japanese theme YoZakura attracted a few creators along those lines.



Click for bigger


Lets start with this simple but lovely Kimono by Anachron called Women's Kimono. If it has a more unique name its not on my box. This Kimono is very nice, simple, but with a hud to let you change around some of the colors. and a bit of the styling. The pose I am using is also available on the sim from Rook, it's called Butterflies in a jar and I found it quite enchanting.



Click for bigger


Next up we have a fantasy fairy gown from Azul. The sketch butterflies see in the shot are part of the outfit! It also comes with matching wings but I left those off. The pose is another Rook pose, this time their relay offering called Blossom.



Click for bigger


Moving away from gowns we have a warrior look from Gauze called the Alchemist. There are male and female versions of the outfit and the staff, also by Gauze, is available separately, and comes in two colors, Showing here is the Staff of Power, and the other is the Staff of Mana.



Click for bigger


Moving back into gowns we have the Runic Cult: Priestess gown from Paper Moon. It comes with a hud to let you change colors of the various parts. I picked up the gold trim but you can also get it in silver.



Click for bigger


And for the last outfit we go back to Japanese styling with this shorts style modern kimono from Sakide called Nayoko. It's more like a lounging outfit with shorts then a real kimono but very nice. Also side note, I love how this shot turned out.



Click for bigger


and we have one rezzable item! Frogstar's Forest Fae Canopy Bed which can be seen out on the sim itself. A comfy looking indoor or outdoor bed/couch lounging area.

And that's my list of things you can pick up on YoZakura, go out and enjoy the sakura blossoms and do some shopping! If you get it from a Relay vendor it all goes to fight cancer!

Fantasy Faire 2015 Sim - YoZakura

YOZAKURA | SLURL | SHOPS
Sponsored by Fuubutsu Dou.

YoZakura (by Nya Alchemi)In the late hours of the night, visit the Japanese Hanami Festival and dream… Traveler behold As Midnight courts the Moon and Cherry blossoms dance



For those that don't know the Japanese Hanami Festival is also called the Sakura Blossom festival. A tradition that happens in spring when the cherry trees are in bloom. People will go to the parks and picnic under the trees as the blossoms fall. It sounds quite lovely.

YoZakura lets you get a taste of that tradition, but with a magical twist you can only get in Secondlife. Atop floating cliffs a dragon guards the town hosting the festival, while in the waters lotus fish swim about lazily.

The sim was designed as a night festival but I turned the windlight to a setting sun for a bit to show some of the color and details you miss when its a dark sim. Then went back to the sim windlight, which shows off the gentle glow of lamps and magical trees. I very much enjoyed exploring it and finding small hidden details.

Lets start with this lovely gown called Lady Lysa Rose by Feyline Fashions . I love the neckline of it and how it moves nightly even though it's mesh. The ruffles and the jewels on the collar add just the right touch.



Click for bigger


Here we have a short spunky purple dress by .HollyWeird called Belle! I love the pattern on the bubble style skirt.



Click for bigger


Why yes I am aware I mixed my fairy tales in this shot :P This is Junbug's relay offering called Riding Hood, the relay color is obviously RED, but you can get it in other shades as well. The hood is one piece with the gown so choose your hair carefully with it!



Click for bigger


And here we have one of Poet's heart's two offerings. This one is a simpler gown called Aradia. It comes with a hud to let you change the colors of the ends of the sleeves and trim. Their other gown is called Fantasmic and is lovely. Going to save it for later.

and lastly we have The White Amory's two offerings.

First up is the Guardian of Light Gown Set in Hope. I love this gown, it comes with a glitter overlay and an attached flowy bit for the front. You can wear it with or with out the sleeves.

Remember I said you could pick up parts of Spires of Andolys to take home? Why yes of COURSE I bought the Belle fountain! It makes me very happy. The creator is Death row designs, the sim designer of course.

The trees behind it are by Cubic Cherry Kre-ations and are called {Rakuen} , and they come in a whoollee lotta colors and styles!

So now, turn on some Disney music, grab something to snack on, and head over to Spires of Andolys to do some sight seeing and SHOPPING!

Fantasy Faire 2015 Sim -Spires of Andolys

SPIRES OF ANDOLYS | SLURL | SHOPS
Sponsored by Dwarfins.
Spires of Andolys (by Jaimy Hancroft/Eowyn Swords)Crooked little fantasy styled houses inspired by the fairytales of your childhood. Centered around a magnificent castle that would be the envy of Sleeping Beauty. Careful though, the castle guards a secret dungeon hidden deep within its bowels where the darkest villains are forever forgotten


Oh sweet, sweet magical things. To say that this is my favorite of all the Faire sims this year is a VAST understatement. But then that is what to expect when you make a fairy tale themed sim loaded with DISNEY references! There may have been a lot of squealing when I spotted stuff. Especially on my first run through last Thursday. One piece in particular sent me into fits of glee. It involved a fountain and some sheep...

All the big ones are represented, except Frozen, and a few "lesser" ones. You can find things that represent Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Snow White, Alice In Wonderland, Sleeping Beauty and more! Turn your music off and your sim sounds UP and in key spots you can even hear clips of the music! Lots of photo op poses as well. Click things! Explore! Let your inner child just have FUN!

Oh and you can take home parts of the sim! There is a store to the right facing the castle. Some are ready to be bought now and some *like the castle* will be auctioned off at the Live Auction on May 3rd.

This is also the last of the sims with a Roleplay going on. that has nothing to do with Disney or to my knowledge, fairy tales. It's called The Origins of Sanctuary, Lut's story. And you can learn about it at the provided link.

Poppetsborough creators - Hopscotch, Rfyre, Vengeful Threads, Wishbringer and more

Click here for a list of all the stores on Poppetsborough with SLURL's to their main stores I will not be posting SLURL's individually, as you can get them all at this handy link. If you need one for an item I have on that is NOT at Fantasy fair, and that will mostly be hair and poses, Ask for it!

Poppetsborough is apparently the sim of the Pose Makers, as it has quite a few of them on it.



Click for bigger


Lets start with a nice steampunk gown by Designs by Isaura that is simply called Steampunk Outfit. It comes with the cute hat and there is a pair of matching boots to wear with it. The pose I am in is by Eternal Dream and it is from the Fata set, which is a fairy themed set.



Click for bigger


Next up I am in a gown from House of Rfyre 'Fayre'. It is not their relay offering, but I was not keen on their Relay offering, it was no where NEAR my style and more reveling then I like, so I picked up this one in relay purple instead and tossed money into a donation kiosk to make the difference. And I do love this one, the ribbons are removable so if you want to not wear them you can. And the pose for this shot is also by Eternal Dream from their Spells (Girl) pack. The pose is a prop pose and the book comes with it.



Click for bigger


And lastly we have the outfit where I wore ALL the things! The outfit itself is by Vengeful Threads and is called Vovin. It comes with a mask which i did not wear, and a hud to switch between purple, green and a shade of blue. On my head I have on two items. First by Hopscotch is her Wild one Small horns, Slightly adjusted to fit my head. And in front of them I have on lovely tiara by Fujiwara's World called Warden Tiara. And lastly my pose is by [Black Tulip] Poses and is called The Magician #2. It comes with the particle effects for your hand.

Oddly enough, Hopscotch didn't have a relay pose offering!



Click for bigger


And lastly here are some rezzable items. The house is by Wishbringer and is called Underhill. It's a simple one room house but I really like it and may just put it out on my plot in Nevermore later. Inside shot can be seen here The giant bird I am hugging on is a pose prop by Eternal Dream called fairy bird. And the pink beaded curtain is one of many items you can pick up from Lilith's Den.

So now, go get ye to Poppetsborough, help find out what's causing the tears in the pages *my money is on a bookworm* do some shopping and support Relay for life!

Poppetsborough (by Luna Barak/Alrunia Ahn/Kyra Reiter)Enter a storybook world with the emphasis on the book. Have your favorite stories pop to life as you walk into the book and become the characters of your favorite fairytales.



I don't even know where to start on this fun and playful sim. Everything looks as if it is made out of printed paper! Well except for the books the town came out of. It's so imaginative and unique. And every time I pan about I spot some new little detail.

The sim is another of the sims that has a Role Play group on it. The Rickety Weasels from last year are back with the Tears of Poppetsborough. Telling the origins of the sim and trying to fix the tears showing up in it.

I missed getting to take part in the start of it, but while I was taking the photos today they had an event and I went to that. There are photos at the "all my photos" link of it. If you have a chance check out the times for the rest of the Rp events and stop by!

Fantasy Faire 2015 Sim - Poseidon’s Abyss

POSEIDON’S ABYSS | SLURL 

Poseidon’s Abyss (by Haveit Neox)Arts & Entertainment sim, hosting fantasy art and plenty of dance and art performances. Dive deep into the ocean to marvel at the treasures within!



Poseidon’s Abyss picks back up on the Mer theme from the Junction and Odyssey. But amps it up to 11. Wow, underwater ruins, wrecked ships, mystical animals and underwater statues! The build is amazing and breath taking and every turn of the eye spots something new and interesting. I switched to Merkitty form while exploring. It was quite fun!

This is also the Arts and entertainment sim, so there are no vendors. But there are performances that happen daily, several art displays, and it is where you can go to vote for King, Queen and chancellor of the Faire.

Click HERE to see a full schedule of events on the sim. And go here to learn where to go to vote on the Fantasy character to become Faire royalty!

Oh and watch out for the flamingos!
