I just have to have a bit of a grumble about Cosmopolitan and the Hello Tuesday sales - now that the small shopping precinct with shopping carts is no more, all the links go to the landing point on the second floor of the Cosmopolitan mall. The Hello Tuesday sales are all on the level below, and the only way to get there is to fly into the middle of the atrium and then stop flying. Why? Why make it difficult for your potential customers to get to the products they'd like to buy? How difficult would it be to add a TP point here, where all the signs and info are located? A second grumble - with plenty of space in their kiosk on the ground floor, why doesn't Chez Moi provide demo models of their Hello Tuesday sale items? This is the last week I'll be featuring any Hello Tuesday items until these issues are addressed. (Yes, I've contacted the owners involved directly, but additional requests from those here might help get a result.) So... today's sale from Chez Moi is this set of artist's decor, $50. The table on casters with all decor is 4 LI and the easel and stool are linked for 3 LI. Animation and painting options shown.

Then as long as the terms are being adhered to it should make no difference to consumers if the appearance/price of an item appeals to them. My confusion stems from @Nika Talaj’s use of the phrase “we should keep in mind…”

From a consumer’s POV, I’m not sure I understand the need to make a distinction between original and full perm mesh. Is the latter some sort of legal or ethical infringement of a creator’s work?

Secret Sale at THS: The Home Store which is worth checking out: The corner water garden is 5 LI, $50. The corner arbor bench is 8 LI, PG, $99. The rose arch is 5 LI, $50. the tbleand chair set is PG, $99. The tree and rocks scene is 8 LI with excellent LODs. And the Asian corner with dragon fountain, animated water and birds (both with sound) is 10 LI, $99.

Secret Sale until 11:59pm Monday SLT at Petite Mort - the Zingara set sold as a fatpack for $249 (does not include the plants or the rug, which is actually quite nice), or buy the 10 LI sofa with 6 LI canopy for $99, the 1 LI (working) lanterns for $50. (The pottery tables have poor LODs, and I've seen pouffes I prefer elsewhere.) Looks like PG only.

Only $50 at Jian, until 11:59pm Monday night SLT.

Also see @Persephone Emerald’s comment in the Perfect Pets thread with links to two still-free small birds on the MP:

It's the Muir couch from North Oak. (I've used it in my Sakura as well!)

Merak has an attractive piece of kitchen storage/workspace (high, at 10 LI, excluding the decor, sold separately for $60 per color) on sale for $60, but with no matching cabinets or sink, it's not likely that it will fit into many kitchen designs. (I checked in the MP and there's nothing in a similar style from this store - if anyone knows anything to the contrary, let us know!) Anyway, worth mentioning just in case anyone could use a piece like this.

Among several other items, Fantasy Illumination has put its ivy arch back on sale for $75. I recommend this - not only is it lower LI than the ivy that comes in the Log Home content pack (each half of the arch is 1 LI, but linking both it stays at 1 LI), but its LOD is excellent - I've shrunk it down by at least 25% for use against my Newbrooke...

Urban Roots' Bathroom Clutter package is $75. Mirror 1 LI, vase 3 LI, round tray with bottles 3 LI, square tray with toothbrushes 6 LI, washcloths 2 LI. The towel set is also $75 - display models are all linked totaling 9 LI.

I hesitated about featuring these birdhouses from Enaitch because they don't include the birds shown on the poster and the demo models (which are the 1 LI Blue ***** from now-defunct TLC), but if you do have small birds in your inventory and a tree or porch to hang them from, the 2 LI hanging ones are very attractive. (The standing birdhouse is 6 LI, and I see no reason why it should be so high.) Anyway, the fatpack of all colors and both types is on sale for $65. The fatpack of 1 LI wall panels in neutral colors is $75. Heh. SL doesn't appreciate the actual name of small British birds: Blue t*ts, and probably Great t*ts, Long-tailed t*ts, Coal t*ts... all of which I have in my real garden.

Current Trompe Superfans deal - $50 with group tag.

This 14 LI ready-made garden is only $60 at Tm:Creation.

If you fancy keeping your own goats, Simply Shelby is the place to go this weekend. The 14 LI rustic goat shed (including 2 animated and 2 non-animated goats) is on sale for $30. The 11 LI late summer goat meadow (again with 2 animated and 2 non-animated goats) is $30. Be sure to buy them in the Sales area!

At Simply Shelby: I could see the Viking throne set being used in a fantasy setting - $50 for PG or A. The medieval benches are $50. The 2 LI bamboo fountain (which has a very pleasing sound) is only $25. Several others items are on sale - the 4 sets in the last photo are $35 each. All of these are found in the Sales area.

Nomad is selling several pieces with a botanical theme. The botanical lab desk (8 LI with all decor) is $75; the lab cabinet (2 LI, without decor) is $50; the test tube orchids (2 LI each, shown in the cabinet) are $75 for both colors; the display cubes (2 LI each) are $75 for all three versions; the canopy chair (10 LI) is $75 and the Monstera plant (2 LI) is $50. Fatpack sold for $400.

Midwest's rather attractive Victorian-ish lamps are on sale again for $75 per color. They are 3 LI and quite large, but can be re-sized (remaining at 3 LI, though). See the comments from September 2022 about editing the lighting script to provide a more pleasing effect: https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/461691-the-all-in-one-home-furnishings-topic/?do=findComment&comment=2507978 There isn't a demo model on display, so here's a close-up of the green shade.

Kraftwork has some pet-related items on sale. The Pet Console and Clutter set is $75. The console itself with decor is 7 LI, with several wood tones as well as the white shown, and some color options for the bag and leash. The bed is 3 LI with color options and the puppy pad is 1 LI, with options for 'new' and 'used'. The kennel (3 LI) and slow feeder (1 LI) are $60.

Meanwhile, at Atelier Burgundy, you can find these sturdy gardening tables and slightly less sturdy shelves, along with terracotta plant pots. Each of the 3 wooden pieces is only 1 LI. $60 per color. And the various stacks of plant pots are 1 LI each, and look like two stacks can be linked to save that extra 1 LI, $60 for the collection. Also on sale is the modular kitchen (no stove or fridge) for $75 per color. And the office storage unit - 11 LI with all decor shown, $100 for both frame colors.

Saturday Sale at Apple Fall, $50 per item (some of which are further discounted to $45 if you wear your group tag). The artist's cart is 3 LI, the carved chair is 2 LI, the tulips in a vase are 4 LI, and the plaster hand and bust are 1 LI each.

Sycamore Decor's 3 LI 'jelly cupboard' is on sale for $75, for either the 'pastel' shades or the 'bold' ones.

Any herpetologists out there? This terrarium with animated snake is a pretty spectacular item on sale this weekend at Jian for only $50. Worth getting if you have 30 LI going spare!

If suggestive fruit and veg are your thing, Floorplan has these two 1 LI plaques for sale at $50 each. Three frame color options: pearl, iron and bronze. WARNING: I bought one thinking I could re-use the frame - you can't substitute your own image

Merak is selling its 20 LI Sophia sofa in some additional colors (orange, blush, lavender) for $60, PG or A. (See Marianne's post about resizing it down to 15/16 LI and the animations: https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/461691-the-all-in-one-home-furnishings-topic/?do=findComment&comment=2582758) Also on sale is the sun lounger set (lounger 10 LI, umbrella 10 LI, side table 1 LI), light and dark wood sold separately, PG or A $60. And these beach pillows (5/6 LI) are $75 each; the table is 15 LI, minus the candles which are 1 LI each - they're $50. (All far too high LI for me, but I do like the look of the pillows...)
