Now available at all Sable Rose locations including our freestanding shop at Gallinas (SLURL) and our store at Subtle Submission (SLURL):

May's freebie is a Spring-themed ladies' necklace featuring rosy pink sculpted calla lilies framing a delicately-rainbow-colored larger calla in the center. Sculpted calla lily leaves surround the flowers, and the chain is formed with multi-toned green metal beads.

Copy/Mod/No Transfer, and only available until May 31.

Don't forget to stop by the temporary Sable Rose shop at Shengri-La (SLURL) to pick up the Celestial Discovery Choker. We are #42 in the Discovery Hunt and the magnifying glass is VERY easy to find as the Shengri La shop is quite small.

In other news, I have been combining some of the Handcuff pieces into sets, so watch for more information about that this week along with some new handcuff releases -- ear cuffs/ear piercings and bracelets -- in addition to the combination sets.

I am also in the process of putting together Men's and Women's gifts for avatars under 60 days old, which will be available at the Gallinas store which is a short walk from The Shelter and the Isabel Infohub. The gifts will include some brand new pieces that are currently for sale in the store as well as a reappearance of some past monthly freebies that have been boxed up and put away. More info about that this week also!

May's Freebie (Beltaine Necklace) as well as other Sable Rose freebies are available at:

Upon posting the photos of a recent custom project, I was contacted by the very kind Toko Voom, Editor In Chief and CEO ofVain, Inc., commenting on the photos and saying Vain would like to use some other photos of Sable Rose pieces in a spread for the magazine.

To be contacted, unsolicited, with those compliments was truly a boost and an honor, and I was really excited. I envisioned them being used as .... well, like accessories, artfully scattered about somewhere or having one selected as part of a group jewelry piece for commentary or something similar.

And today, I am mega-thrilled to say that they are featured -- YES OH MY GOSH FEATURED I AM FREAKING OUT IN A GOOD WAY -- as the Editor's Choice for Issue #21.

I received my issue of Vain like I do every time, rezzed the box, wore it and started flipping through it, and as the pieces were rezzing in, my jaw dropped.

Toko, and all the amazingly talented and hard working people at Vain, thank you very much. You have seriously made my day.

My week.

My month.

I'm proud to announce kind of a triple-whammy today as far as new things.

First things first, the pretty pretties. Or at least, I think they are, and I hope you'll think so too.

Jelivianne, named for and inspired by my friend Jelivianne Grenville, is a hematite set consisting of a draping necklace on a chain of tiny hematite beads, a set of hematite (right arm) bangles, and a pair of bold, chunky stud earrings. L$250 for the set.

Balance is a pearlescent Yin-Yang symbol embedded into a dark silver star, suspended on a dark/black-silver chain. There is also a small yin-yang tag that drapes down the back of the neck, in a matching color to the pendant front. Balance comes with drop earrings featuring the same design as the pendant.

Balance is available in: Black (regular), orange, red, pink, violet, blue, green, and rainbow, and is L$200 in each color for the set.

And don't forget the SL Discovery hunt starting on May 1, we'll be participating. Our gift will be at the Shengri La Vintage Marketplace location, which is a valid location until July 2009.

Those are the new releases for the week of April 27, 2009. Here's the other new news! In conjunction with Marx Dudek (who owns the land), and Noirran Marx (who made the amazing build), I'm really proud to say the first standalone Sable Rose store is now open!

You'll find the new Sable Rose store on Gallinas, on the former site of Little Rebel, just across the Linden Road from The Shelter. Things are still new at the shop but I'll be putting in a selection of freebies and gifties for avies under 60 days as well as avies over 60 days, in the spirit of being so near a well-known infohub and newbie-friendly area.

If you are a shop owner or content creator and would be interested in renting some roadfront space in the same location, contact Marx Dudek inworld. Marx has a bunch of space available here, roadside.

And I hope you'll come by and see the new shop!

Happy shopping!!!

I've spent the afternoon creating earrings to match Ballad (all colors), Luna, Starlin, Isadora, and Tiny Dancer in both Silver and Gold.

I also have managed to update all the vendors into selling them as sets, except for Isadora. I'm waiting for their namesake Isadora to log in so I can re-shoot the vendor pictures, so watch for the new Isadora set including bangles, necklace and earrings, this weekend.

Here's a little taste -- and the Ballad earrings in SILVER are in the Sable Rose Subscrib-O-Matic for this week only if you feel like picking them up.

I will also be updating XStreet with the earrings this weekend.

I hope everyone has a great Friday!

I know it might seem weird for me to blog about the custom work I do without following it up with, "and this will be released in the store!" But, I am really really proud of this necklace, and it was a gift to one dear friend of mine, from another dear friend of mine.

Zarabella Ming approached me to take her vision of the perfect charm necklace/locket and customize it for Noirran Marx for her rezday. As I am close friends with both of those amazing ladies, I was happy to take on the project.

Here's how it came out.

This one of a kind necklace is made of interlocking silver links with a variety of charm-bracelet type embellishments:

Musical notes, handcuffs, roses, a paw print, and treble clefs.

The necklace has a front-closure pass-through in which the locket is suspended on the dangling end.

The locket is a working locket in which the front cover swivels around to present the photo in a cameo-type arrangement with framing reminiscent of celtic knots.

255 prims.

And to give you an idea of the actual size:

I guess this is where I say "Custom work is available, IM Rosie Barthelmess."

Thanks, Zara and Noirran, for allowing me to be part of such a wonderful gift and great project.
