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!

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 🧛
