Fantasy Faire 2022 is here

The Mists fade away, and the doors of the Fairelands are open once again.

It is Fantasy Faire time. My own personal best time of the year.

For this is not a simple shopping event. it is a gathering of people, fighting together, winning together. It is a joint effort to raise funds to dissipate cancer, in all of its forms.

This edition is even more special, because Janire from Belle Epoque and me have been tasked to create a Region. We've become worldmakers, and one Faireland is inspired by our vision, something we have been kept secret for a very long time.

Living Echoes is a Region of Hope and unconditional love. The type of affection that puts down every boundary. It's a message, to remember, and to never forget those we left behind, for keeping them in our memory will make them live forever.

When you wander around Living Echoes, keep your eyes open, for echoes of the past will be waiting for you in every corner.

Of course there will be new releases, lots of them! Every single original piece of the Region's architecture is available for purchase. There's also a brand new musical instrument, inspired by Living Echoes; it has been sneakily added to the vendors by Harshlands booth. You'll have to find it!

You can visit Harshlands, Belle Epoque, Living Echoes and Fantasy Faire by using the link below.

By the Landing point you will find a Teleport HUD, as well as a special free Low Lag avatar we've made!

Enchantment

February doesn't simply mark the lovers' month, but also the return of Enchantment. The theme, this time, is The Iliad & The Odyssey and the round exclusive is a brand new instrument, the Greek Lyre. Inspired by traditional designs, with a little twist and interpretation, this instrument features seven relatively long songs (approximately 3 or more minutes each), four different colour/texture patterns, and the usual animation HUD.

Swank

Swank is open as well! And as we celebrate this month, I've decided to make something romantic, that might also be versatile, and somewhat fit several different region themes. The Floating Candles, with their lotus shape, and a small flickering candle, can have multiple purposes, and the gentle, slow floating rotation can help to set up the right mood. You can preview them at Harshlands booth.

Harshlands 8th Anniversary

 

Hello everyone!

February has arrived, and with that, the arrival of Harshlands Anniversary. It's the moment for me to sit and ponder on the achievements on the previous year, and to constantly being amazed by the wonderful community we have built together.

We ventured through such a journey, didn't we? I still remember the thrill of making the first Marsketplace listing, and the excitement to see people joining the store group. 

That feeling has never gone.

In 8 years life has changed. I've grown. A lot.

I've met incredible people, and I had to bid some farewells. All of you supported me through my worst days, even by simply checking in, and giving me that strength to never give up, to become a better person. I owe you a life debt that I will never be able to repay.

The past year has been the year of the first anxieties and risks. Having closed my RL store due to Covid, I managed to turn Harshlands into my full time commitment, and with the help of amazing friends liek you, the clouds of my fears have been dissipated.

This Anniversary Hunt is called A Symphony of Time, because every moment we have spent, has never truly gone from my heart. There is no past. There are fond memories that I cherish and keep on living.

I have decided to hide eight music instruments (four types, two variations each) in Dragonstone, because I've recently been loving making them. I can literally put my heart and soul in them. I hope you will be able to feel it.

And, we cannot celebrate without a proper fireworks show, right? Well, this year the whole region will feature a never stopping show, for the entire duration of this month.

I truly hope you will have a great time.

From the bottom of my heart

Thank you for these eight Years.

Chronicles & Legends: a trip amidst Pirates, Krakens and Mermaids!

 Hello everyone,

Chronicles & Legends, one of my favourite events, is back with an incredible theme.

I've always loved the creative minds of the event staff, but this time they blew my mind, at a point that I've prepared a good amount of new products.

The theme of this month is Pirates, Mermaids, Krakens, and that was the perfect chance to relive an old tale of a not so distant past.

Some of you might remember my old set, concerning the adventures of Captain Korangar. Well he's back, with a new look and new additions! 

   

As you might see, there's a lot, for lots of purposes and needs. Most of the products can be previews in the event region, and you can test the Bident vocals by simply clicking on it by the event booth!

A Song of Hope: Holiday Season Events

 Hello everyone!

For some this will be the most wonderful time of the year, others will be sititng by the fireplace because it's cold outside. Friends will be jingling bells, and relatives will enjoy a white Christmas in a winter wonderland.

But it definitely won't be the last Christmas!

Every year I am always so thrilled to organise something in Harshlands, and this time I've decided to group all the current, and upcoming, events, under one single banner.

A Song of Hope will be Harshlands Holiday Season big event, with its traditional, signature prize hunt!

There will be 10 prizes well hidden (although I might be a bit more kind than the previous hunt) in Harshlands store region Dragonstone. To claim the prize you simply have to find and click it. One important thing: as usual, please make sure to have your Harshlands store group tag active. if you're not part of the group, you can join for free by the landing point.

The prizes waiting for you are mostly exclusive, and hand crafted with heart and love. Because it's a season not only for celebrating, but also for hoping in a better future, each product you'll find is made with hope it will bright up these nights that are gradually getting longer.

In addition to the treasure hunt, there are several events happening, and more starting in the following days!

Holiday Shop & Hop

The Linden Lab Shopping event is back! By Harshlands booth you will be able to find lots discounted of products, from 25% to 70% off! But wait....

A Shopping Carol

There is another typical Christmas Event that I love to join all the time: A Shopping Carol! This event takes place in every mainstore of the participating designer. Harshlands couldn't say no!

For the occasion, I've prepared a truly special release:

I've always loved the sound made by Kalimbas, the soft notes that can be rich and warm at the same time. This Christmas Kalimba comes with 8 traditional songs, that you can easily preview next to the product vendor, simply by clicking the instrument!

In addition to these events, there is more! If you find a snowy circle, landmark that place! You found the Giving Circle where dear friends will periodically add gifts for everyone to enjoy! It's our wish for the happiest of the holiday seasons!

Also, events will keep on being added so...stay on the watch!

Enchantment is open!

 Hello everyone!

Holiday Season is about to begin, and with the opening of the amazing Enchantmnet event, we're starting to see the first snow and Christmas themed products.

For this round, the team behind the event, decided to revisit the beautiful tale of the Nutcracker, and there's a very special exclusive release waiting for you.

If you've followed some of my past releases, you might have noticed that I've developed a passion for crafting musical instrument. This time I have decided to experiment with something never done before.

The Nutcracker Music Box is a tribute to the spirit of a Christmas long gone, when we were but kids, and we'd be amazed by the music produced by those little machines. 

This music box comes with 7 traditional Nutcracker songs, and whenever it's playing, the music box will start spinning.

In addition to that, a statue-version of the two nutcracker soldiers is included.

You can try the Music Box at Enchantment, where a special gift will also be waiting for you!

Swank is now open!

 Hello everyone!

Swank event is open back again, and this time it's donning a brand new look, completely renewed.

It's October, so you know what to expect: spooky and creepy atmospheres! For this occasion, there's a special new release, ready to be found.

The Stonecatcher Tree is an eerie tree, with stones attached to it, in a very specific pattern. Is that the result of a curse, of a wicked rite? You're the one to find it out!

By Harshlands booth, you will also find a special gift inside a Swank Pumpkin!

Chronicles & Legends - The Depths of Madness

That is not dead which can eternal lie,

And with strange aeons even death may die.

In the far away region of Ippos, Madness roams free. Chronicles & Legends is now open, welcoming the creative mind of H.P. Lovecraft.


One of my favourite events in Second Life, is now hosting one of my favourite themes. Lovecraft was a master of horror, and I hope that, with the new exclusive release, I could convey that feeling.

The Monstrous Blossoms are inspired by Lovecraft's alien flora. These plants come in various versions. In the package there will be single plants, as well as grouped ones, all of them sporting three different colour schemes.


In addition to that, the traditional hunt is taking place, and there's a prize, hidden in Harshlands, that you definitely don't want to miss!

Linden Lab Shop & Hop is open!

 Are you scared yet?

No? Well then, get ready for the spookiest event of the year!

Halloween Shop & Hop is open, and many many designers are ready to offer new releases, exclusive discounts...and gifts to everyone!

As proud participant to this amazing event, I've prepared some new releases, immediately discounted off their final price, as well as offering an exclusive gift!

The Cursed Victorian Piano isn't simply a visual variation of the previous Victorian Piano. Not only it features skulls, bones and candles, but it comes packed with traditional and spooky pieces to play (or you might set it as if the piano is playing the song by itself...for an extra spook!)

What's better than a graveyard entrance...made out of graves? The Ominous Gate not only has graves, rocks, and a metal gate. If you look closely, a cursed tree has set its roots there, and the face of the Damned can be seen trying to escape!

...But there is more!

The entire Skeleton Avatars collection is now available for purchase as single themed packs, and there's the exclusive gift waiting for you.

I won't tell you what it is, you have to find it on your own 🧛

Harvest Season, a traditional Halloween Hunt

Hello everyone!

October is here, and I believe we all know what it means for all the Second Life community: Halloween!

One of the things I look forward to, is preparing our themed Hunt, that every year takes place in Dragonstone region, Harshlands mainstore location.

So without further ado, let me introduce you to Harvest Season!

Throughout the event period, there will be 10 hidden prizes to be found around the store region. Each prize is an exclusive product, specifically crafted for this time of the year. I hope you will like them!

In addition to that, the old gacha Court has been revamped. Following Linden Lab's recent change in terms of services, no Gacha Machines are allowed anymore.

The Gacha Court decided to don the Halloween mantle for this month, and a selection of new and previously released horror products are offered with a special discount!

Happy Halloween my friends!
