Avatar Expressions in Heritage Plaza

 FREEBIE CUSTOM PHOTOS A SERVICE TO OUR RESIDENTS


Time to pretty up, my beauties!

Heritage Estates is growing and pleased to introduce a new shop in Heritage Plaza named  “Avatar Expressions”.
Avatar Expressions offers  a free service for any avatar, either resident or hypergridder to our estate.
 We will take a custom photo of you, enhance it with some embellishments and “sign” your name using the font and color of your choice.

Little wild metro decor and some of the portraits on the wall
In designing the decor for the store, I decided on “Metro Modern”.   A simple understated black and white theme. The black walls are softer on the eye and there is even some reading material while you wait.
If you have a request and we are not around to do a photo shoot, please feel free to drop us a note card in the mailbox in-store.

I am hoping to add custom poses to the stool soon and perhaps even some background textures.
The actual photo shoot which is free, takes only a few minutes. In a brief time we will have the portrait done and sent to you as a texture, to use as you wish!

Just a Shilling a New Freebie Store in Wessex

I spent a little time during this past week scouring the metaverse for some items to use in our new Medieval sim, Wessex. 

If you are like me, you love going to new places and scoring some freebies along the way. Somehow, it makes all that hypergridding, with occasional crashes and sim sliding, worth it!  Hehe.  So I promise to not disappoint.

I was able to pick up a few choice items for Wessex, namely, some period clothing and some little household items.... a few candles, and kitchen ware. I know that Doc has a huge store of period items so we will be eventually adding more as our Tudor regions expand . I even will be making a few things.. first up,  I have added a cute little butcher block and some pots and pans..

We present, for your freebie pleasure --


"Just a Shilling" a Medieval Freebie Store.




Below:  A view over the kissing bridge. One of the most romantic places to hang out in our sims.


Across the bridge is a beautiful little shop, I fancy it could be a great cobbler shop, what say you?

   

 Down in the village find Just a Shilling  - copy everything, even this gorgeous ride-able horse...(copy into inventory, and then wear, adjust to fit. He even gallups!)
  

 Inside the shop you can score some period accoutrements as well as some household items, and more coming soon. 


If you have the inkling to sell some of your wares, we have a few really cozy shops availble in Wessex. Just im me and we will set you up as a merchant.

Close Up in Bramford

Regions are funny things.  To some, they are just barren undeveloped squares of terrain. To others, they are a canvas for fantastical things.  To us, a region is a place to do everything you can do in real life -- better in virtual.

Bramford... You can almost smell the sea spray coming off the ocean.  The softly terraced terrain slops gently down to an area for fun in the sun.  

I am very excited about Bramford.  It is, after all, my home here in Heritage.  It is peaceful and as pretty as a fresh bunch of flowers, surround by water views.  It smacks of a New England village. Crisp, gentle, and cozy.

Here are some pictures...

                        This little Cul de Sac happens to be the one where I live... 

                    This little cabin is available. It is fully furnished.   I love the arbor in front.

           An interior of a Bramford home.  Two roomy floors plus balconies or patios or both.

              One of several picnic and bbq areas. This one is near the water.

             Bramford Beach  "No Pass Required "  - the walkway to the beach area.

               Nice seating area, adjacent to the tennis court.

                 Here I am by the mail box.

 How do you become a Bramford resident? Simple... you click        this US Post box and join the resident's group.    Then you find a home you like and click the little green flag on the mailbox out front. And your new virtual life has begun.
