Vendors and a new store location!

I started renting a small space at [The Everglow] in Chelonia. It is a corner store kitty corner to Kira's shapes store. The sim and the shopping center is new, but Kira and I think it will take off once people get wind of the camping abilities here. The shopping center is well done and looks like a strip mall. I was pleased with the look of it so I thought I would try my luck at selling Victorian Fashions in a "modern" sim. The sim owner thinks it will do well, but I guess we'll see. If it doesn't I am not bound to anything and can leave once my rent runs out.

So, to begin setting up my store in Chelonia, Hu and I worked for several hours last night to get the vendor boxes to work right. Somehow something so simple seemed so complex. We ran through a lot of different options before we found the right combination that made it work the way I wanted it to. But now that we know which options to select to make it work right, I can go in and start setting up in the main store.

Hanging Out

Tonight I just hung out with Hu and Kira. We didn't do much other than stand around Neutralia and talk. I love talking with them. They say some of the funniest things!

Wallpaper!

I wallpapered my house today. What a lot of work! One never thinks it is going to be as time consuming as it ends up being. Jasmyn came over to keep me company while I finished up the upstairs.





Then Jasmyn invited me over to her place to see how she had wallpapered her house. Our houses were designed by the same architect, so it is interesting how we each decorate the same space. Her bedroom is soooo pretty!



I like spending time with Jasmyn. We have a lot in common and a lot to show each other.

Girls Day

I spent today wth Jasmyn Tammas. I called on her at her house and as talked in the sitting room, I commented on the wallpapers and images on her walls. She told me where i could purchase such finery, and we decided that rather than talk about it, we would take the trip out and view it all in person.

We spent a good deal of time sifting through the wallpaper samples and paintings. We met the lovely Miss Chere Graves in the shop who was looking for similar things for her new castle. As we talked of Caledon, she expressed a desire to see our lovely homeland.

We arrived to Caledon and were pleasantly surprised to see Mr. Magellan, my neighbor, in Victoria City.



Upon leaving Mr. Magellan, we moved our party to Silver Rose Designs where we showed Miss Graves the finest of the finery for Ladies' Fashions in Caledon. We did some shopping and Miss Tammas and I even modeled some of our own personal frocks for Miss Graves to see.

I soon began to droop from the long day previous and excused myself from the ladies to bed.

But as it was, I returned home to another letter from Dante. I am glad he wrote to me. I hadn't heard from him in some time and was beginning to worry. He is well and happy and has seen a great deal. I envy him and only wish I could have gone too. I am eagerly awaiting his return. There is nothing like the stories and photographs of a person who's only just returned from an extended expedition. My thoughts are with him as he travels the world.

Thoughful

Tonight I spent most of my time dancing alone at the Dogglounge. Not sure what all my friends were up to tonight. The music and dancing gave me time to think, however, and I've hit on an idea for my next dress. I am going to try to make a Vicorian day dress. Thinking burnt orange and mustard yellow for the template dress. Maybe some decorative braid.



I went home to work on it but got caught up with the piano. I found myself playing all the melancholy tunes. I don't feel quite myself tonight. A cloud has set over my head and i can't get out from under it.



Dante will be back in 4 weeks from today. I look forward to it. It feels like he's been gone for 4 weeks, not the reverse. I miss him a lot. He always cheers me up.
