Need A Bigger Lap


A new round of Enchantment is upon us, and this time we are headed into Dark Academia. Even if you may not be familiar with the term, you likely are quite familiar with the aesthetic.

If you close your eyes and picture what an Ivy League or New England college would look like in the 30’s & 40’s. Lots of cardigans, blazers, dress shirts, plaid skirts, Oxford shoes, and clothing made of houndstooth and tweed.

Gothic inspired architecture, most likely the library, with secret societies and a dark undertow. Recent popular culture brings to mind Harry Potter, Wednesday, A Series of Unfortunate Events. Going back to our own teen years, we could cite Dead Poets Society. For some literature to get you into the mood, try some Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, or of course The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.

Prime Real Estate


The first thing that Troy said when seeing this setup was “Can we live there for reals ?” We have to admit, we would love to be able to living in an old victorian house on the coast with a lighthouse view, we would also love the money required to live there too.

More Than Just Green


Fun little greenhouse fact for you today.

The Roman emperor Tiberius, had a mysterious illness that the experts said that eating a cucumber every day would cure. While this was easy enough during the warmer months, the winter made it a bit difficult to grow the miracle cure.

The first thing they tried was to plat the cucumbers in wheelbarrows and push them out into the sunshine during the day, and bring them back inside at night. The trouble with this was that they still were not getting enough heat and still died, leaving the poor emperor with no cuke!

They then decided to try covering the plants with oiled cloth and thin sheets of transparent selenite or gypsum, which then evolved into entire buildings being made using those as the roofing material.

The Koreans also developed a concept called ondol from 1438 to 1450. This was a method of underfloor heating, and they grew mandarin oranges together with other plants. Heating from the bottom and not the top !

All Roads Lead To Home


One of the phrases that gets said quite often when we are talking with Troy, about past events and situations that we have been through, before we were together is “and all the bad, lead us here to each other.” There are many phrases that sound quite cliche but the reason they are said as often as they are, is because there is so much truth in them. Another favorite is “We had to go through so much shit to get here because it takes a lot of fertilizer to grow something good.”

Speaking of roads and something good, Enaitch has released a new Streetscapes set which you can pick up this weekend with the SL Home Decor Weekend Sale at the discounted price before it goes up to its regular store price once the sale ends.
