Silk Road 2024 Grid-wide Hunt & Event continues through July 21! In our last post we covered the first 21 shops participating in the Grid-wide Hunt - be sure to visit those shops! :) And don't forget the following: for your pleasure we also have...
💮 *two* SILK ROAD THEMED MARKETS on Mieville sims! There is a lovely Japanese Mountain Village and a beautiful Samarkand Marketplace! Both have many wonderful products for sale, courtesy of our amazing Mieville Historical Hunts Merchants!
💮 a *gorgeous* SILK ROAD TRAVEL EXHIBIT for you to experience and learn about the Silk Road itself!
💮 a *fun* SILK ROAD QUEST that will take you through the Markets and the Travel Exhibit as you search for missing artifacts. Find them all and you will win a special prize from our Curator of Antiquities!
AND NOW: Here's our second installment of visiting each shop participating in our grid-wide Hunt!
💮 === 💮 === 💮 === 💮 === 💮 === 💮 === 💮
#22 - Psyche's Pstyles, by Psyche Starling. This might be the first time that Psyche's Pstyles has participated in one of our hunts. They have a lot of period clothing available at the shop, including 1950s-style dresses, rompers, gowns, plus casual vacation and campfire clothes for males and females. There's even a kilt for the gents. Please do visit & help us welcome Psyche!
#23 - GPA Dinkies, by Beth Ghostraven. Fun and professional clothing for Dinkies. Like its sister GPA store, outfits are arranged by color for easier shopping! As you can see, the shop is FULL of clothing options for Dinkies!
#24 - The W&L Particle Store, by lolloferrari. Wow, lots of animated signs and particle effects available here! I believe this is the first time Mrs Lollo has participated in our hunts. Do visit - follow the Silk Road tracks to the shop and have fun exploring!
#25 - Angel Fae Boutique, by Sorrel Fang. This shop features nice casual clothes, swimsuits, and elegant gowns for females. Right now there are a lot of swimsuits and vacation wear... good timing!
#26 - Kittycat's Creations, by Kittycat Ninetails. This shop specializes in food and drink on serving trays, and also textures. Some of these textures are really super pretty! I will have to go back and view them all... they look like they would be very handy in some building projects!
#27 - Emma's @ Blue Moose, by Emma Krokus. I always find suprising and interesting things here! This trip I made friends with some lambs and behind me is a very nice beehive. Hmm, I should add it to my collection of hives in the Bibliothèque's garden areas...
#28 - Gypsy Rose, by GypsyRose Botanical. Speaking of making friends, here is Fox and his new Friend. You'll find lots of other interesting things at this shop, including some stunning framed nature- and wildlife-themed artwork, plus a cute Buddha lamp (not pictured here)!
#29 - The Steaming Teacup (at Twain), by Five Valeska. Oooh, I could really get used to hanging out here! The teahouse has been remodeled beautifully for Silk Road, great for photo ops too. Do stop by for some tea and snacks, games, and some relaxation with friends!
#30 - Meander, by Lemania Indigo. Wow, this new-to-me shop is amazing! They specialize in unique fashions, some of which you can see in the photo, and also unusual and beautiful textures suitable for wallpapers and anywhere that you need a splash of color. A great place to browse a lot of lovely things! Please visit and help us welcome Lemania to our Hunts!
#31- Ripplin' Waters Gardens & Landscape, by wyntha resident. Oooh, I could get used to this too, just hanging out and enjoying the heat, water, and flamingos! Some of you might know that I'm a real SL plant junkie. This new-to-me shop has lots of tropical plant assemblages, all of it brilliantly colored and quite lovely! I believe this is wyntha's first time participating in our Hunts! Please help welcome wyntha and explore this pretty shop!
#32 - Design 76, by GothicGeshia Gartenberg. This new-to-me store has a very fun and quirky aesthetic, from its original Magnum PI cut-out greeter (well he-lloo!), to the his and her Space Cadet costumes, vintage gas station, a bizarre Frida Kahlo-esque lifesize sock puppet, and much more, lol! I believe this is GiGi's first time in our Hunts, so you know the drill! Come visit the shop, help welcome GiGi and browse the unexpected treasures here!
#33 - Jinxed Toys & Magic! by Ishani Mhia. Speaking of unexpected treasures, there are lots in this shop too. Where else will you find a Fountain of Demonic Rapture, a Wand of the Biased, a Viking boat hat, and more? I did a double take on my visit... the model here kinda looked like yours truly!
#34 - SANNA-SCIENCE and ART-Animated Textures Full Perm, by Sanna Jupiter. Have you had your coffee today? It's time to open your eyes for your visit to this colorful and slightly hallucinogenic shop ! From the landing site, look for the bouncy green arrow pointing to a bright green box that says Hunt Info. You'll find the Silk Road hint packed in there on a notecard. Enjoy your magical mystery trip, er... tour through the animated and saturated wonders of this lovely shop!
#35 - Violet Skies, by Chrystal Terr. Here's another shop new to our hunts! So glad to see so many new merchants joining us! This shop has some nice summer clothing for LaraX and many other bodies. Looks like the shop is just starting up - let's all give a visit and welcome Chrystal!
#36 - Bibliothèque de Coeur, by Farzaneh Eel. I love Mieville Historical Hunts! It's so much fun for me to see all the Bibliothèque's book cabinet doors flung open as you're searching here and there, looking for the gift. Here I am doing a little welcome dance, looking forward to your visit!
#37 - Davarts Design, by ArtDecorDavarts. Ooh, this is another one of those huge sites with lots of animated objects and bright colors everywhere! Lots of fairies, unicorns, magical folk, religious figures, Lewis Caroll, reindeer - you'll find it all here!
#38 - The ARTSPOT (Main Gallery), by Birdie Cyberstar. My goodness, the artworks and the colors here are simply gorgeous! Be sure to visit all the rooms. Lady Bird's creativity is amazing. All the paintings are for sale at very reasonable prices. Go check it out!
#39 - Impertinences, by nana Saenz. From the landing site, look for the multicolor steps that lead into the Impertinences shop! You'll find lots of unexpected things there including a beautiful pond setting, floating dragonflies, Christmas trees, wearable butterfly wings, unique clothing and more - all in nana's inimitable style! Love!
#40 - Shelly's Designs, by Shellylove. Do you need a hug today? Drop by Shelly's Designs and snuggle up to this big lovable guy. It's ok, you can stay there for as long as you need! When you're ready, you can browse through this large shop featuring dresses, boots, bikinis and... um, lots of pandas here and there. Let's all welcome Shellylove - this is her first time in our hunts too!
#41 - Panthar FP Sounds, by Lara Panthar. Lara's shop has a lot of unique full-perm sounds including heavy rain, wind, church bells, thunder, and more, along with various useful holiday sound effects!
#42 - The ARTSPOT 2, by Birdie Cyberstar. This is Lady Bird's smaller gallery at Mieville Twain. Wow, I just noticed Lady Bird has produced a signed limited edition Silk Road series! You need to come look at the amazing detail in these works!
Shhh, this last one is a surprise, so no show-and-tell here... just visit for your last Silk Road 2024 stop!
Hope you are all enjoying the Silk Road and all the things available to do! Let's give thanks also to all our wonderful merchants who have made this fun Hunt possible! Shout out also to Meadow who did SO much of the background work, and to everyone who contributed time & talents, including all you Hunters!! We appreciate you all!
