I was thinking about doing some SL shopping earlier and started trying to remember when I’d last bought lindens because it felt like it had been a while. Then I did a bit of digging around and realized that over the last month or so, I’ve actually sold enough eyes that I’ve earned more lindens than I’ve spent, which is why I haven’t felt the need to buy lindens recently. It was quite a shock to me. I think most of it is that I’ve spent a little less time in world and my shopping has decreased due in part to that and in part to not finding a lot to hold my interest. No matter the reason, it was a very nice little surprise, and it gives me a bit of a confidence boost in thinking about expanding to include other items in the shop!

As some of you know, my birthday is coming up on January 27, and I’m brainstorming ideas for possible projects or photo series to celebrate. Last year I had what I was calling my chair series with photos of visitors to my home in Winterfell Ebonshire sitting with me in my Rustica chairs and invited people over for a little open house of sorts on my birthday for that. I never really did as much with that as I’d meant to do, and then with my moves and changing furnishings, I stopped using those chairs anyway. Maybe I’ll do something similar with my home in Ivy Falls or invite everyone down to The Ivy, the new pub in Ivy Falls. I’m not sure yet, but I’d like to do something fun that will carry throughout the year. When I figure it out, then I’ll be sure to let you know.
