Very much a Peril, Potions, & Pleasure moment -
Sept. 26 dance with DJ Kandi at Mieville Shelley
Without further ado, let's take a look at some of the merchant shops participating in the Grid-Wide Hunt. Come hunting (and dancing!) with me! Note — we're not giving hints here or showing the actual gifts, at least not intentionally ;) We're just visiting the shops & celebrating the wide range of cool shops & creativity, giving thanks to hunters & ALL merchants plus singling out a few who have gone above & beyond to make TRH XV a success. 🩷 Now let's go hunting!!
1. TRH XV Grid-Wide Hunt starts at the Mieville Historical Hunts Museum in Mieville Doyle. The Mini-Hunt Game also starts here! You'll find Game instructions and the Hunt List for the Grid-Wide Hunt right here. Have fun hunting while you wander through 3 floors packed with memorabilia and posters from our Mieville Hunts history! (FYI - Aesirah of My PiXeL PuPpEt contributed the gift hidden here & helped a TON with Hunt business - be sure to thank Aesirah! 🩷
2. I love wandering through The ARTSPOT's galleries, exhibits, and gardens. Lots of interesting artworks at this lovely and serene place!
3. Hanging out just outside Petit Mesh. Question of the day: Would YOU work for cheese? :) Take a look around here and the amazing variety of fun & quirky teeny tiny mesh objects for sale!
4. At the lovely C!L Boutique, whose talented owner made this beautiful dress I'm wearing! In fact, it IS the hunt gift... but where it's hiding, I'll never tell :).
5. Shhh... I think I hear the grass growing, visiting My PiXeL PuPpEt. I love exploring Aesirah's fun, quirky treehouse shop & its always unexpected products, such as little humanoid climbing lights! There is also a MPP outlet at Mieville Twain!
✨✨✨ Time for a break from hunting! ✨✨✨ Here's a photo from our Sept 26 dance with DJ Kandi, featuring lots of fun & great music! Thanks, DJ Kandi (who was subbing for DJ Gin); thanks also to DJ Maxi - sorry I don't have a photo from her great set! 🩷
6. We're back at the Hunt! A Little Ancient Shop features historic costumes from many eras and cultures, plus accessories. Plus this portal promises you the chance to choose your destiny. Do you dare?!
7.The thoroughly pink Tea's Tiny 1980s Shop :) You'll find an assortment of eclectic creations here including: Tiny arcade machines; retro (1980s!) posters; Tiny toastbusters (think: Ghostbuster plasma blasters that fire Tiny toast); Tiny Indy Jones avatar set, Tiny Madonna, & so much more!
8. The thoroughly psychedelic SANNA - Science and Art Animated Textures Full Perm. You'll find an amazing array of animated textures of everything imaginable packed everywhere in this absolutely huge shop. That's a lot of superlatives, but... just visit SANNA & you'll understand why!
9. Is it Cthulhu or is it a spidery crab? Either way I'm getting a tingly feeling in my hands! Expect the unexpected at the Professor's Janus Works!
✨✨✨ Time for another break from hunting! ✨✨✨ Whoa, purple lightning at DJ Kandi's Sept. 26 set! (The pretty garden décor at the dance site is by our talented friend Bella Borne Bradley - be sure to thank Bella! 🩷)
11. Back to the Hunt we go: I always feel like somebody's watching me.... or maybe listening, since we're at Panthar's Full Perm Sounds... (BTW Lara created the fun Mini-Hunt Game & tirelessly coordinated the free Game prizes - be sure to thank her! 🩷)
