Antique Grid Show: Autumn Hunt

Salutations everyone!

With the changing of the seasons, we have a time of change in our lives and in our worlds.  Since SecondLife is comprised of people from all over the real world, we all have our thoughts about what autumn, or fall, is like.  For me, it is a time when the leaves begin to change from a spectrum of green to various hues of red, yellow, and orange.  As the cooler air moves in, so do soft winds that help gently glide the leaves to the ground.  The unfortunate thing is that we then need to rake them up!  However, even that brings a warm feeling of autumn while we dress in a our long pants, knit sweaters, and warm coats to get out in the brisk air. 

With this in mind, it seemed an ideal time to get past those holiday centric hunts and focus on the season itself.  Focus on that time between the extreme heat of summer and the long, cold nights and days of winter. 

Now that I have rambled on a bit about the seasonal purpose of this endeavor, allow me to explain the logistical and marketing purpose.  In our vast virtual world, there are countless marketing groups and hunts going on at any one time.  However, very few, if any, focus on the antique market niche of home and garden items and related period clothing.  There is such a rich and brilliant group of designers in both furnishing and clothing that it is a shame there is not more avenues for awareness of their products and names.  That's where Antique Grid Show steps in. 

The goal is to produce a hunt this season that brings together brilliant designers of all areas of the antique markets: Victorian, Western, 18th century, Rococo, Edwardian, Steampunk antiques, Gothic antiques, 19t century, Art Deco, and 20th century.  These are just some of the vast areas that can and will be covered.  What we want to do is help introduce, or re-introduce some of those creative geniuses making items for you.  This is also an exciting way for shopkeepers to become known to the various roleplay communities, historic admiration communities, and the average user wanting to deck their home or person in the beauty and grandeur of some period pieces. 

So, if you are a designer of antique-related furniture, houses, clothing, jewelry, etc feel free to contact Thaddeus Nadeau about how you can participate in the forthcoming Autumn Hunt from November 1 -30!
