I went for another walk in Beach City today, and stumbled upon hitherto unsuspected signs of habitation. From a distance I perceived a rectangular white object, eliciting my curiosity. Upon drawing close I saw that a house of sorts had been built here.
I approached, and discovered a teleport machine which permitted the occupier of this establishment to travel instantly to the hotel in Beach City. I can only presume that at the other end of this teleport 'tunnel' a similar, though hidden, mechanism permits the occupier to return home.
The doors were all open, so I felt no misgivings as I wandered inside. I discovered the property to be spacious, but quite deserted.
Proceeding up two flights of stairs, I emerged on the rooftop terrace, whence I was able to take in a remarkable coastal vista.
So enamored was I of my discovery that I decided to encourage others to repeat it. I therefore offer any of my items for the minimum price of ß50 to the first person to send me a photograph of themselves at the no-longer-secret house.

Although my newest shop arrived some weeks ago, I was not able to see the effects myself for some time, due to a few travel hiccoughs and interplanetary high jinks. Notwithstanding all that, herewith, and without further unconscionable delay, a photograph of the new Mako Magellan edifice in the recently opened developers' field at Beach City (in the location designated NL04).
The shop has a limited range of my items in menswear, ladieswear, and accessories.

It seems that the Regency Court Sword I introduced recently has been drawing as much attention from the ladies as it has from the men, if not more. It is for that reason that I now offer a ladies version. It is to be found in the back window, near the ladies shoes. Note that the rather more mobile hips of the gentler sex may cause a bit more mesh interpenetration during walking.

It was customary for gentlemen, both military and civilian, to carry swords in the 18th century. The swords had become ceremonial in purpose, were light and intended to decorate rather than to defend. This is a design based very closely on court swords of the period, with a small coquille and very thin blade. It is supported by straps attached to a belt (not rendered, as it could interfere with clothing) which would be hidden under a waistcoat.

Here is a ring featuring nine round brilliant cut sapphires, and two round brilliant cut diamonds. The sides of the ring are decorated with a scroll in white gold. The ring is set to be worn on the middle finger of the right hand. To find it, go to my shop in Caledonia, and approach the white pedestal nearest to the ladies riding coat, then look very carefully; the ring is above the pedestal. You will need to get your avatar close, get your camera closer still, and look upwards. It is there!

Two Regency-style tables are now in my shop in Caledonia. The first is a large rectangular banqueting table that can sit six to ten people, the second is a smaller round table suitable for four places. Remember that most Blue Mars shelves display all merchandise in a 1-metre cube, so these items will look considerably smaller than they will appear when you place them at home. The larger table is over three metres long and the round table has a diameter of 1.68 metres.

Tired of virtual suitors? Looking for a way to deter their unwanted attentions? Well, it may or may not do the trick, but here is an platinum engagement ring, encrusted with eleven round brilliant-cut diamonds, and fitted to the third finger, left hand. The sides of the ring feature a leaf decoration in white gold. The ring is shown (left to right) in daylight, night and morning lighting.
The ring is available in my shop in Caledonia , though it might be hard to find, as it is so small. Go to the far end of the ladies' shoe display, and you will find it just to the right of the dark purple stilettos. Look carefully, it is there.
Finally, please make sure to wear this in the top clothing slot - otherwise it can show through your finger.
