Anna's humongous store is filled with a really wide range of full-perm mesh creations. You'll find sad plushy bunnies, a cute and colorful flying mini-airplane, kiosks, spikes, holiday items... all manner of practical, decorative, fun, silly, and/or spooky creations and all full-perm! Stop by and explore!

Love the jewel-tone color palette of Meadow's store! Here you'll find a lot of super pretty fantasy items here like mushroom lamps, crystals, fairy eggs you can cultivate, fairy gazebos, flexi wings, pretty floral rugs and much more!

Can I get my braids touched up here? All this teleporting from shop-to-shop has gotten me frizzy... And wow, this new-to-me hair store with salon is huge! Once the Ren Hunt is over, I seriously need to let my hair down and come back. I can see there are a lot of pretty styles here!

Hey, it's back to my roots with the original Book Chat circle in the French Enlightenment room, surrounded by books by great writers of that period! The Bibliothèque is a real working library with hundreds of world classics in English, French, Spanish, Latin & Italian, Chinese, plus many additional languages. Stop by to browse & read!

Botanica is a very well-known huge garden center in SL with a wide variety of plants and so much more to offer! There are tons of indoor and outdoor deco items, artwork, flower arrangements, plus there are lots of Halloween items currently out. I'm channeling Where the Wild Things Are with this colorful group, and loving it!

Sorrell is my neighbor to the east on Kipling in the Mieville microcontinent, but I had never been to Angel Fae Boutique before. There's lots of women's gowns and dresses here and other pretty items. I adore these wearable butterfly wings! (And have you seen their Ren Hunt prize? Gorge!!)

Silver's texture store is jam-packed with beautiful seamless textures galore! During my visit I saw pretty marbled paper and handmade flower paper; irresistible laces; floral & organic designs, and more. What surprised me during this visit were the wonderful food textures. Now I'm hungry for more!

Phew, that concludes our Ren Hunt tour!  We made it through every shop in our 13th Annual Renaissance Hunt! We so appreciate all the participating merchants and their generosity in providing a Hunt gift and inviting us into their shops! Besides seeing all the great creativity out there, I personally have really enjoyed visiting all the shops and seeing the different ways people have set up their shops plus the specialized products they offer. 🥰 Hope you all have enjoyed this Ren Hunt Tour series and that you visit each shop! Thanks for reading!
