60L Weekends - ALREADY!!

Yes boys and girls, boys-who-are-girls, girls-who-are-boys, the undecideds, uncommitteds, and yes, even you who refuse to be defined by which skin you won in that Midnight Mania the other day (this is Second Life, after all)--it's time for another 60L Weekend, and once again, Rehatched™is bringing you yet more marked-down yumminess for your Second Life-ing pleasure!

This set of 24 (yes, 24--why do you people keep making me repeat myself?) beautiful Batik textures is perfect for fabric, walls, upholstery and MORE (although you might want to be careful when texturing your hair with it. Trust me on this one, ok?).

Next up, we have one of my favorite things in the entire world. Dots. Lots of dots. I would even go as far as saying... polka dots.

Well, ok. The girls at Rehatched™call them "I C Spots", but really? We all know they're polka dots, so nyah!

OH! I forgot to mention - there are 20 (yes, 20 already!) of them. Seriously? 20 textures for only 60L$? Is that even legal?

Ok, last, but oh so not least, is AnaB's contribution to the weekend wonderfulness. How do I know it's AnaB, you ask? It's written on the image, you silly.

Three beautiful Topiaries (that's Swahili for "really pretty trees that look like electric nail files") that will look fabulous in your garden, your park, the entrance to your home... let's face it. They look just plain fabulous.

I cannot, however, recommend wearing one on your head when you go clubbing at that quaint little goth place. People will look at you funny.

In any case, hope to see you down at Rehatched™this weekend, buying these, and many, many more examples of yummy goodness that the girls stock on their shelves.

Remember, it all starts Friday at 8pm slt and goes through Sunday midnight, at Rehatched™

L$60 Weekends -- Let the Party Begin!

Yes, peeps, it's that time of week again - In just a few hours Rehatched will be putting more wonderful textures n' things on sale for you.

And let me tell you, this is a sale that you do NOT want to miss!

The first item up for sale is Toz, a wonderful collection of 45 full-perm textures -- yes, you heard me right -- forty-five full perm textures that you can use in your boomers, your poofers, your zoomers and, even in your bloomers. Ok, I made those last two things up, but basically, when it's full perm, you can use them to build anything you want.

Personally, I'm looking forward to getting all the animal paws. They're going to look FABULOUS in my builds. Now I just have to figure out what to make with them :o)

The next item on the list is Celebrate, a set of nine full-perm textures that nobody should ever be without, whether you're a builder or not.

Nine wonderful banners for almost every occasion. They're really great for decorating that rez day, birthday, or whatever-party-you-want-to-have day.

I'm just not sure about the "It's a Boy!" or "It's a Girl!" banners. I mean, I already know I'm a boy, so... why would I need a banner to remind me
about it? Or is there something I'm just not understanding here?

The final item available this week is something that would be beautiful in any garden. The .:AnaB:. Garden Trellis was made with a LOT of love and a lot of care. Available in blue, purple, or natural.

You can use it to decorate your garden. You can put it in your walkway. You can also put it in your living room if you want, but I'm not sure you need your dogs sniffing about there. They might get ideas. Not good ideas either.

In any case. There you have it. Three fantastical items, one little price.

So stop by Rehatched, Make sure you say 'hi' to Violet and Ana while you're there, and have a great weekend!!

The Good Eggs

Beginning this month, we will shine the spotlight on one of our loyal customers. Look to this space to read the who-what-when-where of what these fabulously creative people do. We start our series with Thaihiti Baroque, of Thaino Designs. Be sure to visit her shop on the west side of our parcel. You can take the teleporter directly to her great creations.

Hello, Thaihiti! Tell me a little about yourself and what you do!
When Thaino Designs was "born" I knew where I wanted to go with it, knew what I wanted to create, but it was in my head. I found it hard to create it for real. I loved playing with textures but hated building. I found it difficult and time consuming while all I wanted to do was make things look pretty. However, I became so excited about buying new textures that I needed to build fab things to try them out on. That made me keep trying.

Now, when i look back at what I made in the early years, I cringe! Sculpties were far and few between and I was making square sofas. In fact, everything was some form of a square. I rented my first shop and sold quite a few "square" items. This inspired me to keep going and become better and more knowledgeable about shapes and what could be done with them.

I finally feel I've gotten to where I want to be, making vintage, shabby chic items that are ok! Although I'm still stunned when people buy from me and that little voice inside my head thinks, "Is my stuff good enough to be sold?"

Do you have a business partner?

 I started Thaino Designs with my RL/SL boyfriend Rhino. That is how Thaino Designs got its name...a mix of Thaihiti and Rhino. I have now been running Thaino Designs for the last two years on my own. Rhino is no longer in SL and is no longer my RL boyfriend, though we still are good friends, and meet for coffee. So it's not a sad story :)

So how long have you been in business?
Thaino Designs was started in 2007. In 2009 I took a year's break from SL, but I still kept my shop open. I came back in 2010 with a new outlook and enough "oomph" to get creative. I completely wiped my stock clean and began again, or at least redesigned what I already had.
It did take me a while to even remember how to rez and move a simple box! It was like starting all over again, which was a good thing as it made me reassess what I had made in the past.

What drew you to Second Life?
I read an article in some women's magazine about SL and thought I would take a look at it. I was fortunate because when I arrived I met some amazing people who took me under their wings and helped me. I was hooked within days.

What led you to opening a business?
Having gotten my own little house in SL, I couldn't afford to buy very much furniture. That was back in the days of camping for 1L$ every 10 minutes, which I wasted away doing, not knowing any better! I did gather lots of freebie things, but they weren't what I wanted. That's when I started creating my own furniture. I got a buzz from it, even though the building part of it frustrated me! Friends started asking if they could have a copy of what i was making, and that spurred me on to thinking, "What if..."

How did you find :Rehatched: and how do you use their products?
Being a total texture freak verging on obsessesion is what led to me to Rehatched.

What does the future have in store for your business?
I take each day as it comes. Every day I seem to come up with a new idea, usually as I'm in bed drifting off to sleep. Lack of time and lack of prims are my enemies! I just enjoy making and creating and hope that people love my work.

Thank you very much Thaihiti, and good luck with Thaino Designs!
