Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Joyous Solstice! Happy Chanukah! Miraculous Festivus! Happy Kwanzaa! Happy New Year! Wonderful Whatever I Missed!

It's that time of year, so all of us at Livingtree have gotten together and put out a box of presents for you! I'm not going to tell you what's in it, because that would spoil the surprise! But you can come and collect yours in the middle of Livingtree Island, next to the Information sign.



Just touch the box to get a folder with all the contents.

Enjoy your Holiday! And be safe and happy in RL and SL. May you have all you need, and more than a little of what you'd like, in the coming year.

New Holly Sweaters for Kids and Adults

We now have sweaters, based on the knit design used for this year's Holiday Bear, but sized to fit men and women, boys and girls!



The sweater has a sculpted turtleneck collar, included in 3 sizes for your convenience. (It's mod though, and a single prim, so it's very easy to adjust to your own avatar.) There's a Shirt, which makes a very thick, warm sweater, and a skirt that goes with it so that it doesn't look tucked in. Or you can wear the Jacket instead, with or without the shirt, for a sleeker look.

Available in six different colors; Black, Blue, Green, Gold, Red and White. Copy/Mod/NO Transfer (but there's a Gift button on the vendor if you want to give it to someone else.) L$100, everywhere that R(S)W clothing is sold.

Holiday Bear 2009

The Holiday Bear for 2009 is finished, and available now wherever Kick the Can toys are sold! This is the fourth in the series of Robin Sojourner's Collectable Holiday Bears.



This year, he's a chocolate brown bear with bright green eyes, warmly dressed in a Holly green knitted cap with cheekflaps and a bright red tassel, and matching scarf. The year is on the scarf in gold yarn.

Like all of Robin's bears, this fellow has arms, legs, and head that are carefully sculpted so that they move like the limbs on a real stuffed bear, making him very easy to pose. For your convenience, there are already 5 poses in the pack, including 3 "carry" poses with animaitons, so you can hold him in your right hand, left hand, or cuddled to your chest.

Copy/Mod - NO Transfer. Please use the Gift option on the vendors if you are buying the bear for someone else. 15 prims. L$150. Available now from the Kick the Can main store, and also from XStreet SL.

Come see him, and get him soon if you want him, because on Jan. 1, 2010 he's going to be gone forever!

Strings of Lights!

My lil sis Mari needed some light strings, and they turned out so well, I thought I'd make em available to everyone!

They come in four colors (white, red, green and blue), and are sold separately or in a pack. You can see em in the window of my store, and get em in the "Yard Stuff" section on the back wall.

These light strings don't actually provide light, they just twinkle merrily and look great on houses, and along walkways.

That's the white colored ones at the Livingtree Outpost at Turtle Dove. They look really nice there, I think. Mari sure likes em.

Happy Holidays!

Winter Comes to Livingtree!

Just in time for the Holidays, it's Winter on Livingtree! The island is covered with snow, the River has frozen over, and the Skating is Good!

The Musical Ice Floes that some of you may remember from last year are back, as well as the Barrel Jump, the Traffic Cones and the Ring O' Fire!

New this year is an Ice Castle for you to rest and relax in after skating the length of the river a few times.





The Winter Teasets are back in the shop, refurbished with new, smoother sculpties (including a beautiful new spoon) and a slightly tweaked script that lets anyone in the group serve tea, or clean it up.

The Christmas Gift Boxes are back, too, and there are new Long Johns, so you can stay warm while out skating.

More new stuff (and fondly remembered old stuff) will be appearing over the next few weeks, so stop back often!

See you there!

The Rosebud Flyer Little Red Wagon

New from You Know, For Kids - the Rosebud Flyer Little Red Wagon!



Rideable as a vehicle by two kid avvies, only 9 prims too, so it's not too much to leave sitting out either. Tons of fun, too!

This is rezzed out onto the ground (or wherever). You can then sit in it to ride it around like a vehicle. It's not too fast an doesn't go up hills much, but it's fun going down then!

It's 9 prims, and sold modify, copy, no transfer. You can modify the prims in case you need to make the wagon a little bigger for you.

It handles sim crossings fairly well, or as well as most vehicles in Second Life. You may snap back a bit when you ride in it. If you lose it on a sim crossing of whatever, just rez another one from your inventory.

Available You Know, For Kids on Livingtree, and also available at XStreetSL!
