Mushrooms, Berries, & Carts - oh my!

We have three new Garden Plot offerings this week - two mushroom varieties with two colour variations each, and a strawberry patch! As usual, each is 145L$ and can be found in the garden patch of our main store!

As well, we have an extra special deal on the Wagon Carts which are also new in two colour variations, regularly priced at 125L$ - you can find it for a mere 25L$ for this weeks 25L$ Tuesdays!

All items will be on the Marketplace later this week, but are in affiliate & main store vendors now, so be sure to stop by our main store today~

25L$ Tuesdays!

It's that time again - you all know it if you've been shopping with us for long - 25L$ Tuesdays!

Each week we participate, we offer up an all original creation for a mere 25L$ for 24 hours until 11:59 pm SLT Tuesday night (or sometimes a little more, it's out early tonight!) 

This week we have the Market Tent!

Versatile & tintable - this detailed little tent is a meager 2 prims at a 5x5 footprint and 3m tall.

It comes with a grayscale texture applied which is very tintable and takes all varieties of colours well so that you can have variation with minimal work - furthermore, we've included the AO map inside of the tent so you can export it and make your own textures.

125L$ normally, copy & mod

At our new main store on the sim Dysfunctionality! Stop by!

New Stuff! We Love Roleplay & 25L$ Tuesdays~

The awesome We Love Roleplay event returns tomorrow at noon SLT with a fantastic slew of quality creators - some new, some old, but all of them great!

We're lucky to be included again in this round, you'll find us on the right hand side building " Tyrion's Victory " with two new releases~

The first is a 'version 2' of our original and exceptionally popular "Paper Lanterns"! You wanted round and cylindrical, classical shapes? We made them! This version has slightly less variants (no tabletop, no mixed trios) than the original, but the 10 complimenting textures akin to the originals. For this, it's normal price is a mere 150L$... BUT ACT NOW! (haha) because at the We Love Roleplay event, it's 25% Off! That brings it down to only 113L$ for the month of June!

The second, and one of my new favorite items, is the Gardenbed set. This 27 piece set features three types of beds - flowers (with 8 texture options), ferns, and empty for you to fill in with your other favorite plants, such as our garden plots or sunflowers. Each comes in 9 shapes for you to mix and match and create beautiful beds of greenery wherever you want - these would look great in a city walkway even!

We're also participating in 25L$ Tuesdays this week with a new release - a 2 prim Barrel Shower! Solo animated and a mere 2 prims.

Stop by our main store or the We Love Roleplay event soon!

All items will be on our Marketplace store soon at their regular prices.

Free Stuff

I just wanted to send out a reminder blog notice about some of the free stuff we have in our main store.

The majority of what I am posting requires you to be in our store group & wearing the tag to claim, but remember - joining our group is entirely free! We send out new free stuff fairly regularly, so do feel free to stay, I try to treat my customers right.

Stop by our main store in the specially labelled "Freebies" building, join our friendly little group, and claim some freebies!

Store Moving!

Yep, we're moving! But not far! About 800m down, actually - we're now a ground level store.

Since we have this whole homestead, we've relished the privacy of the ground... and yet hated how unsightly our store was. Now, we've moved it down and with an all new build (reminiscent of our H&G Expo? Actually the Expo was an unfinished version of this!) we're bringing those great products to you in an easier to find format.

A new change that comes with the store, is also the discount % system!

We only have three tiers, and it maxes out at a great permanent 10% discount! This will take into consideration all previous purchases - so if you've already spent 5k, you'll be receiving that level discount right away!

3000L$ spent -> 3%
5000L$ spent -> 5%
10000L$ spent -> 10%!

I also wanted to let everyone know that we're participating in the latest round of "The Challenge SL" which challenges talented creators to make one themed item a month - this month being industrial!

After a debacle wherein a series of stolen Torchlight models depicting a mine cart set up let us realise that there was not much in the way of legitimate quality tracks out there, we decided this was the perfect opportunity to make some!

They're unscripted, 1 prim each, copy & mod, and feature a myriad of shapes and multiple contents for the carts as seen below. What's more, is that since they are mod - you can add just about anything to be inside of them for other types of mines, too. The full set is on display now!

195L$

I hope you'll come visit us, and take a tour around the new design!

To add a little incentive, I've also added some small items as freebies - a sculpted stone wall, a fancy mesh mirror for your wall, and some small picture frames. These can all be found in the Freebies building nearby the aforementioned Mine Kit!

Can't visit us for whatever reason? We got you covered! We're 100% updated on the Marketplace, the only thing you're losing out on is the freebies - which aren't going anywhere any time soon!

Come visit our main store!

25L$ Tuesdays @ [DDD] for 28th May

1 prim, 95L$ normally, and just 25L$ for Tuesday only, as part of 25L$ Tuesdays!

All new, 100% original mesh release! Choose for a labelled or unlabelled option, and suited for any environment or home.

Stop by our main store to catch it before it is gone!

Off topic post today!

I wished to share with my great customers and fellow SLers today an off topic post about what my shop allows me to do, and why I love my customers so much... Oh, and Yoda.

I'll try to keep it short, since this is a store blog.

I've been running a shop for a really long time, longer than many (not all!) of my friends have even been in Second Life. I'm wonderfully blessed that through SL, I am able to help pay my grocery bill, afford to help repair my computer when it breaks with my savings from the store, and most importantly... 

Take on projects like Yoda.

I'll leave you a link at the bottom, if you like kittens, you'll probably like Yoda. 

I have been blessed to meet and interact with some of the kindest people in SL, and after managing businesses which deal in other genres that SL hosts... I cannot say enough about how awesome all of my customers are, notably and especially, my fabulous roleplayers and co. I know I am getting a stronger base of more mainstream people, but I'm thrilled beyond words at how respectful and patient most everyone is. I've had so many encounters where customers left me so sad because there was just no way of pleasing them, where they spit all over you, and treat you like garbage. 

My [DDD] customers are never like that, always so encouraging.

I'm also quite surprised at how much everyone helps support small original creator shops like us at Dysfunctional Designs, where - alongside Kalia Firelyte & codered1200 Nemeth - I've been able to provide what I feel is some of the best quality items at affordable prices for so many years. We're just a little fish in a big pond, but... I truly, and wholeheartedly, appreciate every customer who helps support us because it allows me to live a happier and more comfortable life, off of the streets, independent of any government aid, and most importantly of all... To help others who need it, animal or not.

I really hope you'll follow Yoda and mines adventure through my attempts to bring him back from the brink, and see exactly what you're supporting, when you support us.
