My good friend Ona Ra, owner of the Cheshire and Jabberwocky sims and the creative genius behind “Jabberwocky Sculpt Collection” decided to have a nice, easy treasure hunt on her sim to celebrate St Patricks Day.

Items are hidden in Shamrocks like these

The prizes which are all donated by tenants on her mall sim are hidden within shamrocks (see picture) and placed in the stores (or stalls) of those taking part on the Cheshire sim. There are some fantastic stores taking part in this including:

• Jabberwocky
• Cheshire Photography
• Tea & Strychnine
• Indie Rose
• Secrets of Gaia
• Dark Sim Designs
• Follow the Rabbit
• Steambound
• Paws 4 Thought (of course)
• Fluffernutters

This is a fairly small hunt as you can see from the list above – which may appeal to some of the newer hunters and there will be something for everyone in the prizes I am sure. The hunt will be running from today (March 10th) through till St Patricks Day (17th March) so don’t leave it too long to go hunting.

My contribution to this hunt is a set of special “luck of the Irish” tails (which will only otherwise be availble as a group gift that will be sent for St Paddy’s day). There are two designs, in there a skinny and a fluffy tail, both with two attach points.

Good Luck and Happy Hunting

Well, it is almost that time of year again where we raise our pint (or pints) of Guinness for good ol St Paddy and this year Paws 4 Thought is determined to celebrate in style with a complete new range of products as well as some additions to my popular “kitten teddies” range especially for the occasion.

I am using this celebration to finally launch my much anticipated range of tails. The designs come in 4 colours (Red, Black, White and Blonde) and 2 “thicknesses” – Fluffy for those that like a fuller tail and Skinny for those that prefer a more streamlined look.

Currently I only have the “luck of the Irish” set done and for sale, but there are more sets coming, so please keep coming back to check for the new designs. There will also be an exclusive “green tinted” set of tails available as a group gift, so make sure you are either in the group, of slap one of my subscrib-o-matics before the 17th to receive them.

In addition to the new tails, I have several new St Patricks Day themed kitten teddies coming out, the first of which is “pot of gold”. This cheeky little guy with his green hat and bow, is holding tight to his very own pot of gold that he has found at the end of the rainbow. He (as do all my bears) sits at around 1 metre tall, so he will be noticed, and again the same as the rest of my kitten teddies, he has transfer perms to make him the purrfect gift.

There are several other tail and teddie designs coming, including “one for the road” who has his very special drink to hand, as well as a basic kitten teddy with just his bow and hat.

You can find all my St Patricks Day products in my seasonal storeat the Paws 4 Thought Plaza on Nanda.

If you have any suggestions that could be added to the range, please don’t hesitate to contact me either inworld by im or notecard, or via my contact form on the website.

When a good friend of mine mentioned that my former boss Titania Bracken was trying to organise a gridwide treasure hunt my ears pricked up.

This is the first time Tan has tried to organise a hunt of this scale, although she has done several sim-wide hunts before.  This hunt, unsurprisingly given the name – has a weather theme to it, and as such, the vendors participating have been asked to try and make the prize something related to weather (although this isn’t compulsory).

As soon as I heard the theme, my brain went into overdrive and I have built an exclusive prize that will only be available to those participating in the hunt – I have included a picture on this blog. He has had special textures and emitters made and I hope you will enjoy him if you are one of the ones lucky enough to find where he is hiding.

Exclusive hunt prize

The hunt runs from the 2nd of April, until the 30th of April, for more information join the group inworld by touching one of the posters displayed around the grid, or check out the Temptations Blog (be warned, the website has adult content).

Good luck, and happy hunting.

Some of you may remember that last year I participated in the original Dark Katz Hunt on Secondlife, making an exclusive cat gym especially for the hunt. Well I am pleased to announce that the hunts organiser Lolla Denimore has invited me to particpate in the second installment of that very successful treasure hunt.

I am very flattered to be invited back, and will be making another exclusive item for this hunt – the item will not be released as part of my normal ranges so if you want it you will have to join the hunt. At this time I am still forming ideas for this extra special prize and will announce details of it nearer the time along with the details of the treasure hunt itself.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with gridwide treasure hunts, I would highly recommend them as they are a fantastic way to get some really good items from designers that you may not have previously known and make  some very good friends along the way as the groups set up for these hunts are normally full of fun loving people more then willing to give you a nudge in the right direction.

More details of the hunt will come later, so be sure to check back to find out more.

Attention:This hunt ran from Sept 2oth – Oct 20th 09 and has now ended, please see the event page for information on any new hunts Paws 4 Thought is involved with.

I am pleased to announce that Paws 4 Thought has donated prizes to yet another treasure hunt. Following the success of the “The Hybrid Hunt” in Aug 09, I have signed up for the “Dark Katz Hunt”. This hunt is even bigger then the “Hybrid Hunt” with over 170 designers involved. Like “Hybrid”, “Dark Katz” is a grid-wide treasure hunt designed for the “Non-human” of Secondlife, so it doesn’t matter if you are Neko, Furry, partially or fully a mouse/dog/fox or other animal, this is the hunt for you – especially if you love the darker things in life.

It is because of the enjoyment I had when I took part in another grid-wide treasure hunt, the “Curious Kitties” Treasure hunt, that I am so keen to be involved with more treasure hunts

I made lots of good friends who all helped each other out to find the more difficult prizes, and I won some truly wonderful prizes thanks to the kindness of other store owners. Infact, I had such a good time I have become completely addicted to treasure hunts and am determined to be involved with as many as possible.

For this hunt, I have designed a very special exclusive prize. It is a posed “Gothic Cat Paw Cat Gym” but instead of all those ugly pose balls, I have finally got to grips with a “no poseball” sitting system. The poses are hidden throughout the gym and are all unisex. See the above picture to get an idea. Also in the prize Kat is a 75L$ gift voucher that can be redeemed against any Paws 4 Thought product in-world. 

To get involved with the hunt, simply look for the poster (pictured left) inworld at any of the Paws 4 Thought stores (including the Main Store, Gift Store, or our Showroom Store), this will give you a landmark to take you to the start of the hunt, then once you find the Katz, simply touch them and you will then recieve a folder holding your prize(s) and the landmark to the next location.

The poster also offers you the chance to join the “Dark Katz Hunt” group inworld to give you somewhere to go to discuss the hunt, and ask for hints and help from other hunters as well as the designers themselves.

If you contact me in-world, then I will give you a “Dark Katz Hunters” gift that I made Exclusively for memebers of the “Dark Katz Hunt” group, which has a cute little friend to keep you company on your hunting travels. To get more information and clues visit the Official Dark Katz Hunt Blog.

Good luck and happy hunting =^.^=
