Frigga Freidman

@Chloe DoloresHad you seen these? - they're still out from last weekend's Saturday Sale at Pitaya, but will probably disappear in a few hours. 2 LI, $75L$ per color. If the colors were mixed up a bit I think they'd be more interesting, but if you've a corner to fill somewhere...

I stumbled upon a hot spring in all my region-bopping earlier today! (Didn't make a note of the location though )

With the exception of Rollingstone and Farleigh, they've all been in the A's-C's as far as I can tell. As of 7:30am SL time today, D, E and F regions I've seen have the 'Linden home' status, but the ones later in the alphabet (like the ones I mentioned specifically above) that I've visited are all still designated 'Protected Land'. I haven't been tracking any chalet regions myself, but keep in mind that there are fewer of them than in the initial stilt release - a *lot* of them are yet to be developed both on the periphery and further inland, so they *may* move more quickly through the alphabet. (Though it sure doesn't look like it right now!) (I zipped through 75 regions in a bit under 2 hours today - procrastinating again!)

There are several parcels in Woozy that overlook several bridges, and have the sounds of the river on your doorstep. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Woozy/130/176/22

I found a clone for you! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Marmot/100/207/38 And another clone: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Oberhasli/100/208/38

This *will* be an excellent parcel for privacy... when the house appears. Rocky outcrops/hills on both sides and at the back, and the closest house (also currently missing) that will be across the road will be offset and downhill so may not be visible at all from within the house on the parcel shown. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Posto Segreto/120/198/25

Akin to ‘traditional canal boat’ style: https://tr.pinterest.com/amp/ayseonder/canal-boat-painting/ (I wasn’t aware of the term Rosemåling until now!)

Here's another nice parcel, actually on the water. House faces north, water to the east/southeast, nice vegetation behind the house and to the western side where the neighboring house is at a slightly lower level; no neighbor directly facing the house at the front. Once again, the slurl will take you to the pavement in front of the parcel: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Tritt/198/61/25

I've just been wandering through random chalet regions, confirming they're not for me (general lack of water, mostly suburban placement, small windows, no good views of the sunset), but have stumbled upon one parcel that does offer a degree of 'privacy' for those who are hoping to find it - south-facing front at the end of a cul-de-sac, windmill two plots down the street (visible from the east side of the garden, mostly obscured by trees from within the house), the back and both sides surrounded by hills and the nearest neighbor - between this house and the windmill - at a slightly lower elevation, so not directly overlooked. Here's the slurl if anyone wants to take a look (will take you to the pavement, not the actual parcel): http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mariesteich/100/207/38

How about the ability to import custom interior wall *textures*? It would be nice to save the 4-6 LI needed for a shell, and not have to fiddle with placement to avoid flickering walls!

To be fair, as soon as Bachman was released I did amend my comment to say “roughly alphabetical order” - and looking at what’s been posted in the interim it appears that releases have been limited to the A to C regions I’d listed as being ‘ready’. So even if they’re not being released in strict alphabetical order, that order appears to be behind prepping tranches of regions... which is how it worked for the stilts for the bulk of those regions. I’m really just trying to be helpful (though the lack of a properly-working map somewhat works against that). But, as I’m not even going to try for a chalet myself (way too happy with both my stilts and likely to downgrade an alt and leave my log home next month), I won’t be monitoring those regions further anyway. Good luck to all in chalet mode!

Berghochzeit and Cloud Peak still have 'mole markers' above houses, so they may not be released soon.

Well, dinner isn't quite ready yet so... Bachman released.

I'm just mentioning them as I find them in case people are looking at the (not very useful) map trying to figure out which regions are likely to be released shortly.

WILL UPDATE THIS WITH NEW REGION INFO. It also looks like regions will be released in roughly alphabetical order initially. Arnarheim, Averhoff, Bachman (now released) , Berghochzeit, Bighorn Park, Birdsong, Blackthorne Ravine, Bluebell Forest, Bonnaire, Brimwood, Bristlecone Pines, Broadfern, Caribou Ridge, Chaily, Cheyenne Pass, Citadel Lake, Clemency, Cloud Peak, Cremini parcels are all designated "Linden home". Parcels in D regions that I've checked (Donny Brook, Drumlin Farm and a couple others) are still "Protected Land". Artesian Spring (next to Arnaheim), Baylor Creek, Bergheim, Big Creek, Brady Stream, Brookside, Buffalo SPrings, Carmine Sky, Cedar Siding, Cross Beaux, Cthulhu, and Fork have no homes on them at all. That's it from me - dinner calls. Good luck everyone!!

It looks like region releases will be handled as they were with the Stilts, in that parcels in regions farther down the queue still have "Protected Land" status rather than "Linden home". (I don't think this was the case with the other major releases.)

Muehlenbach - currently 16 people there.

Regions that appear to have been released so far (looking at concentrations of dots on the map, not tracking regions this time): Aileron, Alpencrest, Alpen Springs, Muehlenbach (oops, that's the community center!), Rollingstone.

Yup, it took 5 attempts top get in!

Muniick's weekend sale offerings: the Alto drafting stool (recently on sale as part of the Alto drafting set - so check your inventory!) - 3 LI and 25L$; and the antique bird cage (3 LI for the cage, 1 LI for the table and 2 LI for the stand) for 50L$. Last weekend's fireplace set is still available for only 60L$ as well.

Lacrime dell'anima has 2 items on sale for 25 Linden Tuesday - the pallet bed is 5 LI, and comes in 3 colorways (each sold separately) with 2 designs for each color.

This entire Moroccan set (PG or A) is only 60L$ at Bee Designs through Sunday. (Smaller sofa 8 LI; larger sofa 12 LI; round table 2 LI; lantern 4 LI; floor pillow 2 LI; round rug linked to rectangular rug 2 LI; rectangular rug 2 LI; hanging rug 2 LI; tiled panels 1 LI each.)

Did we previously know that Patch is/was an actor? ("A tribute to one of my inspirations as an actor, Christopher Plummer.")

For those with a musical theme in their homes - this collection from Artisan Fantasy is on sale today for 25L$. The old-fashioned radio looks pretty good, and the metronome is animated with sound and only 1 LI!

EVHAH has this Sun Comfy lounger (20 LI, A, 60L$) with 5 texture-change options on sale for Happy Weekend.
