Due to RL constraints Fortyniner and Sorka have made the hard decision to let go a lot of their land holdings, they are keeping one compact retail outlet on Medvedgrad (I won’t use the word “small” as this development holds about 40 individual stores) and Sorka is also keeping the Moonglow Ballroom.

I have decided that due to the slump in the SL economy at this time to downsize with them, you will still get the same service levels, and all the ranges will still be available – and of course, new ranges will be coming out still too, but I will only have stores on one sim.

As there is currently so much change going on in my SL I thought I would take this chance to do a bit of re-branding for Paws 4 Thought. The old logos have served me well, but they are looking a bit tired now after three years.

If you would like to see a preview of the new logo before it goes “live” at my store you can see it here bit.ly/P4T-rebrand.

Now I am really excited about this announcement so forgive me if I ramble.

Many of you will already know that I have had my showroom store at Nanda for awhile now to allow people to try out the poses in my furniture before they part with their hard-earned lindens…

Well after I got back from my holiday, I was catching up with some friends, one of which was my good friend, and wonderful landlord Fortyniner Beck. As conversations went on we got talking about land and shops (as we tend to) and he came up with the suggestion of letting me have the Nanda land to build my own “Paws Plaza”!

This was because we were talking “pipe dreams” of islands, and what we would do with them. I told him it was a dream of mine to have some land somewhere one day to make a mega mall like some of the big designers (ETD hair, HippoVend, etc), somewhere I could really make mine.

Well, things moved quickly, he only had a couple of tenants on his Nanda plot, and has offered them stores on his other developments, and gave that  land over to me.

It has taken me a little while to get it how I wanted it, as well as find the right store for me – but now I have my wonderful ”mega mall”. It is a three storey building,  so that each can be dedicated to a Paws 4 Thought product range – but is a lovely build (not just a featureless box) and I can easily add more floors as and when I need to. 

The ground floor of this magnificent build by MCV will  continue to be my showroom, with examples of my furniture out for people to try the poses, and it will also have the home accessories. 

The first floor has my complete range to date of gifts and teddies – including my brand new halloween editions (Join my group, or visit my store in world to recieve a cute little wearable flying witch).

The top floor remains empty for now, but will soon have out my range of neko accessories, which is currently hand-made tails, soon to be followed by some scripted ones and other “body parts”.

The rest of the land area has also been remodelled, so that I have a few other shops at the far end from my big store, some friends of mine will be selling clothes and there will also be my “bargin basement” store, where I will be putting out things from my inventory and my older ranges at knock-down prices. 

In addition to this there is a small park area with a 7seas compatible pond so you can hang with friends and have a chat. Come by and take a look and watch this space for details of the opening party that I anticipate will be early November.
