Get your Pilgrim on!

Okay, I confess that updating this blog hasn't been at the top of my priorities list since returning full time to SL... for one thing, they changed the template on me, and because of my cognitive issues it takes forever for me to get used to changes like this.

Also, I've been concentrating on creating content, and getting ready for the holidays, which this week includes Thanksgiving.

Two new additions to Montagne Noire's role play clothing: "Le Pieux" (The Pious) and "Le Petit Pieux", two 17th century costume sets depicting the American Pilgrims, part of the reason why we celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November each year.

The Pilgrims arrived on America's shores in 1620, in the the small 100-foot ship the Mayflower, where they founded the colony of Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Legend has it that it was the native Wampanoag people who helped the Pilgrims survive the first winter in Plymouth, teaching them to fish and later grow corn in the spring.

The "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated in 1621, and the feast lasted three days, providing enough food for 53 Pilgrims and 90 Native Americans.

"Le Pieux" features male and female costumes for adults; "Le Petit Pieux" is for male and female children. These sets, like our other "couples" sets, are mod/trans, allowing you to transfer the second costume to your partner, friend, a fellow actor or role player, or other avatar.

This costume set can also be worn in other role play environments, or modified to fit other eras -- for men, the pants can be lengthened, the collar resized, and your own shoes and hat added.

The woman's costume is also generally representative of many other "plain dress" religious movements, such as the Quakers, Mennonites and Amish.

These sets retail for 250L, but as new releases, this week they both are 50% off -- just 125L, ONLY at our main store in Caledon Oxbridge Village. Enjoy!

September 2012 news: specials, sales & hunts!

I've taken a bit of a break over the summer to get my health back on track, but September is already gearing up to be a month full of new goodies, from hunt items to gachas and a 10L sale!

Both the Twisted Hunt and STEAM 7 Hunt are now underway at our main store in Caledon Oxbridge Village.

Our STEAM 7 hunt gift is an Airship Captain's desk set:

Our Fall 2012 TWISTED HUNT gift is "Veuve Noire" (Black Widow), a travel gown and suit set for Dark Victorian ladies and gents.

Plus, we have a *10L* TWISTED GACHA PRIZE tree in the east side of the shop which features five different sets of "Darkness" inspired black fur slippers:

What else? We have a NEW LUCKY BOARD featuring some fine Noire gowns of the past, and a few exclusives that can't be found anywhere else, including "Noire de Noel," pictured below! The Lucky Board is located in the east side of the shop.

Last but not least, I will be retiring a number of CLEARANCE items at the end of the month, including "La Vendeuse," (which also comes in sapphire and copper) so take advantage --- they are now reduced to ONLY 10L! You'll find them at the south entrance of the shop.

You'll be seeing more specials throughout the month, so do keep an eye out for more Montagne Noire updates.

Happy Hunting!

"Grand Re-opening" Halloween Hunt

What? Montagne Noire remodeled? When did that happen?

Yes, we've expanded the shop, and to celebrate, we're having a 10L Halloween Hunt!

The new picturesque canal side main entrance:

The new building is about 1/2 size larger than the previous shops across the street from each other in the NE corner of Caledon Oxbridge Village. Both clothing and furnishings are now under one very large roof! It's also been designed so that if you happen to use the previous landmarks to teleport, you will still arrive inside the building.

Meanwhile, there are TEN items in the shop which have been reduced to **10L** (regular prices are 100L-250L!): four on the first floor, three on the second floor, and two on the third floor.

This mini hunt will continue through All Souls Day, Nov. 2.

Easter Egg Hunt item preview - no foolin'!

So here's the scoop: Starting tonight at midnight (Friday, April 1), ten damask eggs will be hidden throughout the three floors of our Caledon Oxbridge Village main store through the end of the month.

Each egg will contain a 10L clothing/accessory item, all of which coordinate into two outfits!

These items also coordinate with our specially priced 100L Avril (April) ball gown!

A personal note: April is a special month for me because it's my birthday month and the one year anniversary of my mastectomy surgery.

In appreciation of the support of my patrons and friends in SL during the past year, I'm celebrating my recovery from breast cancer with this special event. I hope you'll stop in and join in on the fun!

Montagne Noire Easter Hunt starts April 1!

It's my birthday month and the one year anniversary of my mastectomy surgery, so I'm celebrating my recovery with this special event at the main store in Caledon Oxbridge Village.

Photos of the gift items will be forthcoming soon!

The new building now has a back entrance, where the dollarbie items and group gift are located.

As you can see it's a bit bare right now, but we hope to be participating in more hunts and shopping events in the near future (stay tuned for our first foray into Sixty Linden Weekends, coming up July 4 weekend!), and this is area you'll find the information!

The rest of the building looks about the same, it's just been elongated to make room for future inventory. Enjoy!
