At Antique Square, merchants have been hard at work setting up their shop spaces. Several merchants have set up special deals just for you at Antique Square only! The merchandise is wonderful!<br />
<br />
When you go to participating stores, look for the products with the blue baubles.<br />

<br />
Over the last few months, I have had several inquires as to when we would host our next event. After some thought, I decided that the next event would be Antique Square - a seasonal holiday destination. A few years back, I had a place by the same name, but closed it due to some real life circumstances (pesky RL). Many people enjoyed the destination and have also been asking if it would return. Now, we've got two for one!<br />
<br />
Antique Square is situated on the Dream City sim and is nestled within mountains and an icy port looking into the vast unknown. On its grounds are eleven shops filled with wondrous items for your shopping and viewing pleasure. Around our central square (park with an ice skating rink), are four booths with more wonderful items crafted by more of our well-known and beloved designers.<br />
<br />
The sim is now accessible to all visitors, but not all merchants have completed set up, so do be sure to return should you come in early.<br />
<br />
We have a 5L sim hunt in the works to begin December 15; so make sure to pop round for that! As of now, Antique Square is not slated to last beyond the middle of the new year, but should interest be great enough, who knows what the future holds!<br />
<br />
So, stop on by our wintery Dickensian shopping village today!<br />

<br />
Today, July 27, marks the last official day of the Antique Grid Show: Summer 10L Hunt. First, I want to thank all of you who have participated as either a shopkeeper or hunter; anyone who spread the word of the hunt through word of mouth, blog, or groups, etc. <br />
<br />
This was our third hunt! I know, right? Hard to believe! We've been fortunate to have a great run each time, too! Each hunt has brought new shops and some of the same shops back with their incredible wares. This hunt has been the smoothest running thus far, and I must give a big thank you to all of our merchants who were ready to go from the beginning (and a few who came through quickly). I know that I was excited and very happy with the quality of the items! Although, I don't think I'll be wearing a gown soon...Good to have in the closest for costume contests, I presume.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, anyway, you have until midnight. July 28, merchants will begin to clean up their hunt items. Some will probably have them available as 10L hunt items for stragglers. That is up to the merchant starting tomorrow. <br />
<br />
Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming Autumn Hunt!! It will mark our 1 year anniversary of antique themed hunts! Woohoo!! This blog will have the details. <br />
<br />
As always, we are considering other activities and options for Antique Grid Show. Per our survey that ran during the hunt, 22 people voted and the overwhelming majority would like to receive weekly notices from merchants regarding their sales and promotions; new releases. I will begin to work on how that will work and make sure you know more about the our stores and their new antique themed items as they are released; we will definitely keep it to the theme. Thank you to all who did vote!<br />
<br />
Have fun!<br />
<br />

<br />
We're very happy to announce that our third hunt has started. With the wonderful help of participating merchants and the great participation of hunters, we've been able to make our hunts a success! <br />
<br />
While hunting, please remember to look for the light bluish green books. You can find an example of them as hint givers beside our hunt signs. Each store has a hint provided for you. Some hunts might have a hunt trail in the form of smiling sunshine. Follow those to assist in finding the items. Remember, each item is set to 10L. <br />
<br />
If you should need help, or want to provide a space to speak with fellow hunters, do feel free to use our in-world group: Antique Grid Show. However, please refrain from vulgarity and abusive language. <br />
<br />
We'd also appreciate if you take a few quick moments to answer our poll along the side of he blog; up top above the pages. We're taking a small poll regarding the use of the Antique Grid Show group. If you would like to receive notices via the group about various merchants sales and promotions (only one per week per merchant), vote yes. If not, vote no.<br />
<br />
Thanks and happy hunting!<br />

<br />
It is with great pleasure that I can announce that a third Antique Grid Show 10L Hunt is being planned! This hunt will take place in the middle of the summer from July 14-27. The theme - summer. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
As before, shopkeepers will be<strong><em> invited based upon a high standard of quality and fitting within the overarching theme of antiques</em></strong>. Merchants will be sent invitations. However, if you are a merchant who feels their goods fit within the theme, please do contact Thaddeus Nadeau. However, do please realize that does not guarantee acceptance. Shops who are included within the hunt are stores that focus on selling <em><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">antique-themed goods all the time</span></strong></em>. We are not a one-off group. Our marketing group was designed to help better promote the antique and historical period shops within Second Life. We like to keep the hunt on a smaller scale; under 30. <br />
<br />
More details to come!<br />

It is with distinct pleasure that I am able to bring you our latest installment of Antique Grid Show's Shop Spotlight. This time around we have that hidden golden nugget in the rough terrain of the wild west - <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Deadwood%20City/70/181/902" target="_blank">Overland Trail</a> owned, operated, and stocked by the wonderful Addison Leigh. When I first happened to cross her store's path, it was at her Caledon location. Soon, I found her authentic and fun store at her home sim of Deadwood. <br />
<br />
For those who don't know, Deadwood is a fine example of an American western Role-play sim. In my humble opinion, it is one of the finest and most well put together. Not saying others aren't good too. I just happened to enjoy my brief RP foray in this lovely sim. <br />
<br />
We were able to have Addison sit down and contemplate some questions to which she replied. For your reading pleasure, please do continue to read on.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br /><strong><span style="color: black;">What is your inspiration when building your items?</span></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />My inspiration is the Victorian old west Sim I co-own with Karl Shergood, Deadwood City. I also have a long standing interest in history and the clothing of the era.<br />
<br />
<strong>What is it that you hope to invoke in your customers when building?</strong><br />I hope they enjoy the things I make and have fun first of all, but I also hope they help enhance<br />a sense of time and place. Most of what I make is designed based on historical sources, also <br />period costuming in plays and movies. <br />
<br />
<strong>Why do you focus on the particular style? Why antiques?</strong><br />I love the clothing of the era and I like history that is written from the prospective of everyday poeple. Deadwood City has always been a sim that dealt with both the big and the every day events. <br />
<br />Ive never been an antique collector in real life, but it's almost like there is a connection and even power when you touch something that has traveled through time. It's a small thing but to me the common experience adds a dimension and the people and events become a little more real. <br />
<br />
<strong>What would be your personal favorite piece in your store? Why?</strong><br />
<br />
Hmmmm, I think my favorite is usually what I'm working on at the moment... *goes to look* I don't think I have a favorite or I would probably say the dress I just did for the hunt based on 1850ish ball gowns. Most of my things were designed with Deadwood City and reflect the 1870s time period. It was nice to do something earlier and different. I do like the News Girl dress for everyday or the Coventry for a bit fancier. <br />
<br />

We are planning on doing a bit of a rebuild in Deadwood this spring, so stay tuned. There should be some different outfits coming out with that<br />
<br />
Overland as it is today, the store will likely get an update in the next month or so.<br />

<br />
<strong>If you could choose a time period in which to live, what would it be and why?</strong> <br />
<br />
Probably a time period where things changed a lot. Late 19th century would be interesting, also late 18th and the Revolutionary War period. Maybe what I'd actually like to do is spring forward to some time in the future and see how the world has progressed. I hope there are trees and people.<br />
<br />
<strong>What are some ways you strive for excellent customer service?</strong><br />Customer service is important to me. I'm pretty approachable. I usually solve problems as soon as I hear about them and answer any IMs or notecards. I also try to make things with lots of options they can really use. I don't do much custom work, I do try to canvas players and create things I know poeple are looking for.<br />

<br />
The Antique Grid Show: Spring Hunt is coming to a close today at midnight SLT (April 21, 2013). The hunt was an astounding success thanks to all of the participating shopkeepers, hunters, shoppers, and bloggers! Thank you to everyone who came out to support our fine establishments of commerce and trade. If you joined the in-world group, please do stay with us. We have several plans for the near and far future. Also, if all goes well, we should be having another 10L hunt in mid-late summer!<br />
<br />
Thank you once more for all your support and patronage.<br />

<br />
Starting a new hunt can be a daunting challenge. In order to assist in making your experience with Antique Grid Show as stressless as possible, here are some pointers to help you begin the journey.<br />
<br />
You spot a sign advertising the Antique Grid Show Spring Hunt. <em>Where does it start?</em>, you ask yourself. You can begin at any of the stores, really. But store number one is located at <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Steelhead/193/83/28" target="_blank">{NS} Nadeau Shoppe</a>. You can find the slurl to the shop <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Steelhead/193/83/28" target="_blank">here</a> or on <a href="http://antiquesgridshow.blogspot.com/p/autumn-grid-wide-hunt.html" target="_blank">this blog page</a> with all of the other store slurls and hunt items you can find at each stop.<br />
<br />
Once you teleport to each stop, make sure to look for the hunt sign posted near the main tp in area. The sign should look like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8NKPfu4X_1y8-Xupv9WRVj0Kre6OWh7XCsNLc4YfH0HBtL6_8PB9gs1RKDGQx3qcUq8acmEkGrMRlCmLj71THH4i6rw6lHUs-acj7wLR8kpcxezKBwfp1pnr4zfPL57MdcnGiLb_JDCV7/s1600/AGS+SPRING+HUNT+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8NKPfu4X_1y8-Xupv9WRVj0Kre6OWh7XCsNLc4YfH0HBtL6_8PB9gs1RKDGQx3qcUq8acmEkGrMRlCmLj71THH4i6rw6lHUs-acj7wLR8kpcxezKBwfp1pnr4zfPL57MdcnGiLb_JDCV7/s320/AGS+SPRING+HUNT+2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Near this sign, you will find a hint giver with that store's hint to assist in locating the hunt object. Both the hint giver and hunt object are books. They look like this:<br />

Once you locate the hunt object, which is also that light blue book, it will be priced at 10L and give contents. Within you inventory, you will heve a folder with your item, the LM to the hunt starting location, and the next stop in the hunt.<br />

<br />
Allow me to be the first to welcome you on the journey that is the Antique Grid Show: Spring Hunt! This time around, yes, each item will cost 10L. However, the participating merchants are offering <a href="http://antiquesgridshow.blogspot.com/p/autumn-grid-wide-hunt.html" target="_blank">preview images</a> of their various items so you can see what it is you will be finding.<br />
<br />
As you enter each shop, please look for our hunt sign. Beside it, on top of it, or near it, you will find a light blue colored book (it is mesh). This is a hint giver. Depending upon the shop, the hint will hover, be released when touched, or send a note card. You won't find hints on the blog because the shopkeepers can move the object and change the hint.<br />
<br />
While hunting, you will be looking for that same light blue colored book! That's the hunt object. You won't be dissappointed! I've gone through the hunt myself and been posting the images on the blog. Wow - what amazing items well worth MORE than 10Lindens! I really encourage you to go on out and do some great, fun hunting today!<br />
<br />
See you on the grid!<br />
<br />

Salutations and greetings all!<br />
<br />
I hope that this post finds you doing well since last we met in November! Boy, how time certainly flies. We had intended to do a hunt in the winter, but life happens. <br />
<br />
However, we are proud to present the Antique Grid Show: Spring Hunt. We have some of your favorite shops returning to particiapte in the hunt along with some new shops. The theme, as you may have guessed, will be Spring! Anything spring and pastel; green and blooming! <br />
<br />
The hunt is scheduled to begin on April 6 and end April 21! Yep, it is a shorter hunt this time around. After the last hunt, we decided to make some changes. We are also asking that hunters pay a nominal 10L for each hunt item. So, this is not a free hunt, but a 10L hunt. However, like last time, that is still a tremendous value! <br />
<br />
As of now, here is the list of participating shops:<br />
<br />
{NS} Nadeau Shoppe<br />

<br />
First, let me thank you all with my most gracious and excited THANKS! I extend this to each shopkeeper, hunter, blogger, and so forth who participated and made Antique Grid Show: Auutmn Hunt a fantastic success! <br />
<br />
I always knew that the hunt would do well. How could it not with such high quality stores and merchants. I just did not imagine it would blow the roof off of my expectations! I am so excited for the hunters, merchants, and all who participated. All throughout, I heard how much fun people were having and asking me when the next hunt will take place. <br />
<br />
Throughout the hunt, the blog traffic has been steady and the foot traffic in-world has been equally steady. Many of you found new and wonderful stores to patron. Many shopkeepers found that their stores were loved and their work appreciated. Please, do continue to show such lovely support to these fantastic shops and designers by going back and looking at their wares and taking home items for sale that you can add to your home and wardrobe. <br />
<br />
Tonight marks the end of our first hunt. With such excitement, I hope that you will all continue to partake in future activities. We do plan to host another hunt down the road, shopping events, and so forth. If you joined the in-world group, please stay in it. If you didn't, please join it. You'll hear first word of any hunts, sales, etc. Tomorrow, December 1, the hunt will have ended. Shopkeepers will be picking up their items tonight or tomorrow. <br />
<br />
Here's some of the great news that we had for the hunt (only some):<br />

Her work encompasses more than just furniture. She also designs clothing and does sim design work. If you are like me, you will be enchantted by her recent Victorian Christmas village!</span><br />

when building your items?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: white;">My siblings and I were raised by my grandmother. There wasn't much money to be
had when I was growing up and we made do with what we had. Much of the
furniture was hand-me-downs from family and friends and dated back to the late
1890 or early 1900s. We didn't think of them as "antiques" or
"historical pieces"; they were just normal, everyday Items. It wasn't
till later in life I figured out what we used daily were collector's pieces. <br />
When I make things, I look back to my childhood and see the pieces we used. Or,
some memory of old houses, from the country seat we lived, creep into my mind
and brings back fond memories. I think that is where I get my inspiration for
many things related to antique items, which are very hard to find in SL. I also
have a real life passion for items from the Depression Era in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region> instilled by
my father.</span></span> </span><br />

invoke in your customers when building?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: white;">I am not really sure. I love to create for the sake of creating in SL. I
suppose I hope to invoke a sense of history and appreciation of our ancestors.
Honestly, in studying history, the trials and tribulations prior generations
overcame to get us where we are today is just mind-boggling. It is amazing we
are here to appreciate it their contributions to the world. <br />
So, I think, if what I make, can connect each of us to our past and stop
occasionally to take a deep breath, slow down, relax, and just be for a few
moments then all my efforts are worth it.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ffe599;"><strong>Why
do you focus on the particular style? Why antiques?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: white;">I like antiques. From my RL perusal, they have style and character. Most items
are well built and indeed show a high level of craftsmanship that seems to be
unknown today. Today, I think what is made is simply for a job. Little feelings
or pride seems to shine from most items today. It's like everything made is
simply disposable not something to be cherished and passed on to our children
or, children's children as was done in the past.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><strong>What would be your personal favorite piece in your store? Why?</strong></span><br /><br />
<span style="color: white;">I really don't have a favorite piece. All my pieces are favorites. I can look
at each piece and see where I was and where I am now. Each pieces tells a story
of the knowledge and skills I have gained through my time in Second Life. <br />
I have learned to build with prims, sculpts and create mesh. I have acquired
knowledge and skills of how to use Photoshop to make my own textures or alter
the ones I buy from some truly superb graphic artists to fit a particular
project. <br />
I am learning Blender and another mesh software. Creating scripts fails me, but
I have gained knowledge and the appreciation of those can can script. I can
animate objects so they function for the pleasure of my customers. I am looking
creating my own animations in the near future for specific projects since what
I want and need are not readily available at this time. <br />
So all my creations are my favorites, even the old bad ones. They remind me of
how priceless Second Life is allowing every Resident here to gain skills and
knowledge and create such a fantastic world. We are not limited to what some
game designer thinks we would like. We have choices here to create our own
reality.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><strong>If you could choose a time period in which to live, what would it be and why?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: white;">While I love the Victorian era for it's complex building elements and genuine
character, I would really have to chose to live in Ancient Egypt at the height
of the Pharaohs. I think it was a period of time where the world exploded with
the gathering of knowledge and the preserving of it pressing outward so
understand our world.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><strong>What are some ways you strive for excellent customer service?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: white;">I try to listen to my customers. really listen to them. I try to understand
their issues, and do my damnedest to make sure they are happy with my products.
Generally, it is just little things that are causing the problem. Most are not
builders and just need a little help understanding something, or even just to
vent. Sometimes, they misread the description or had different expectations of
a product. Customer contact is very important. You learn from each instance.<br />
<br />
If you take the time to listen, you will become a better more thoughtful
builder. Or, if is something that I have done wrong on my part or ,Second Life
has "helped" me , I will do my best to correct the item, send them a
new one, redeliver to anyone else that has bought the item and gift the
customer with a token of my appreciation for helping me find the issue. <br />
<br />
<br />
One of the questions earlier was about what my current favorite piece is, and I
said all my pieces are my favorites. But I do have a current build I have done,
besides just creating items to sell, I am also an RP sim creator. I love to
make wonderful environments. <br />
Because I am fortunate in RL at this time to have a job that allows me to own a
sim, albeit an adult sim, I offer merchants space in the shopping village to
sell their wares along with my space without the worry of having to rent. Some
are new merchants trying their hand at creating, while others are old hands at
it. I believe in sharing what I have, while I have it, to benefit others. There
may come I time I can't but for now.... <br />
My current project has been for myself. I have newly created a permanent
shopping area based on Victorian buildings for shop space for a variety of
merchants. All the buildings currently in The Village were created by Koshari
Mahana of Four Winds -Four Directions fame. I purchased these several years ago
and when I went looking for other items recently, I was saddened to learn
Koshari is perhaps no longer in SL and Four Winds out of business.<br />
Koshari Mahana is very talented and creative with a wonderful eye for detail. I
am not sure, but I believe either she made her own textures or had a resource
that made her builds very special and detailed, especially if you are in love
with Victorian style. Even if you have no desire to buy anything, please do
stop by The Village and see Koshari's builds. They are simply an inspiration to
look at.</span></span></span></div>

MB Antiques has been around SL for quite some time now; primarily known within the Royal Courts RP sims. However, her items can be found gracing not only the homes of royalty in SL, but the homes of every day people. About a year ago, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Serenya and walking around her shop, or rather store within a mansion!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The antiques that can be found at MB Antiques are varied in design, but also theme. The craft used melds sculpts and mesh now; along with prims and textures. You can never go wrong here - there's something for every taste; English, Swedish, French, etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The craftswoman and antique connoisseur of MB Antiques was gracious enough to spend some time to answer our slightly probing questions.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">My inspiration comes from the desire to create objects of the past; authentic

placing it in your home becomes part of that story.</span></div>

<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The passion and attention to detail is the most important to me. I want that in the the piece that the customer chooses
because that's what they were looking for and expect to find. They decide to buy an item because of an intrinsic value. The preciousness of the bill leads them to decide
to make the investment in any particular item; especially any item that they feel holds value for them and their home.</span></div>

You've really begun to see this doing our hunt. As you seek the gifts, hopefully you are also taking the time to really look around each shop and savor their delicacies, furnishings, houses, clothing, and so forth.<br />
<br />
In order to assist in your exploration of our shops, we're going to start doing some Antique Shop Spotlights. In each blog post that spotlights a different shop, we'll share images of the store and get to know the shopkeepers better. <br />
<br />
For our first shop spotlight, we have the wonderful ladies of Hanta - Tat and Tarci Lilac. These two ladies are relatively new to the in-world marketplace. They first started their business as a Marketplace-only venture. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Tat and Tarci when I owned and operated Antique Square. Unfortunately, they came to rent a shop as we were closing that venture, but since then I have had the privilege of witnessing their continued growth.<br />
<br />

<br />
The ladies were gracious enough to answer some questions about their shop to give some more insight into their shop, passion, and dedication.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">What is your inspiration when building your items?<o:p></o:p></span></strong></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Our inspiration is the beauty itself. We try to make the
best we can. Our textures are all made by ourselves (by Tharci), they are
unique, and we don't stop till we like the result and the result must be
beautiful. We are always chasing the beauty.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<strong><span style="color: #741b47;">What is it that you hope to invoke in your customers when
building?<o:p></o:p></span></strong></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
We hope they will look to their homes with our furniture and like what they
see, that they don't feel like changing a thing. We just make things that we
would use, ourselves, and would be happy having it in our houses so we hope our
customers feel the same way.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><strong>Why do you focus on the particular style?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why antiques?<o:p></o:p></strong></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
I always liked history and one day, while exploring, I
found an antique city named <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">London; </st1:place></st1:city>everything was so beautiful, so peaceful, no lack of respect, everybody
behaved so well. Well, I fell in love with everything in that city and I
dragged tharci with me. Took a while till we started to build furniture, but we
started following the style we used to see everyday.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<span style="color: #741b47;"><strong>What would be your personal favorite piece in your
store?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why?</strong></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Our favorite piece is aaaaalways the one we just made, the
newest one, cause we always try to improve, to add something new, cuter,
prettier. Right now, our favorite piece is the new fireplace. It has warm
animations; single ones and couple ones. Really beautiful and cozy.</div>

After a long day's hunting, you will most definitely need to rest your body and reinvigorate yourself with a nap. Use this intricately designed and lovely iron bed from Cedar Bay Furnishings.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The designer wanted to add a few words: Cast iron double bed with single and couple animations, a rezzable cuddle blanket, side table and sculpted leaves. The hunt gift is PG; an adult edition will be available later at the shop.</div>

<br />
I am so ahppy to be able to post about some more really incredible hunt gifts. The work that all of the shopkeepers have done with their gifts (in this post and the previous two) is simply amazing! I cannot wait to start hunting myself!<br />
<br />
Remember, November 1 is when you can begin to collect all of these lovely and lovingly handcrafted gifts!<br />
<br />
<br />
First up, we have this lovely serving set from Spargel & Shine Homes. Instead of me gushing on about it, let's hear from the designer herself, afterall, she captured exactly what I'd say:<br />
<br />
This lovely gold-trimmed table setting will prepare you for your upcoming family festivities this fall and into Christmas. All you need now is a pretty antique table to put it all on. Visit the store for shabby chic/antique furnishings and watch for my new mainstore soon to open! Happy Hunting, ladies and gents!<br />
<br />

<br />
Please keep in mind that the table and chairs are NOT included as part of the gift.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Next up is a great item for your home during the holidays. It's time to start entertaining and where does most of that happen? Why the kitchen or dining room table of course! MaMia Antiques has really brought a splendid gift with this Victorian kitchen table set that would really fit in with any home! You can never go wrong with a solid, strong dark wood table and chair set.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Now, while we're on the idea of table settings, you'll definitely want to stop by and pick up this gift from *Kismet*. The Harvest Pillar Candles are just exquisite with their incredible texture with intricate details. They would be perfect for any table setting for the holiday and fall seasons; not to mention on a hall table, or just sitting on a mantle! <br />

<br />
Speaking of Hall tables, wait until you see this really autumn feeling piece from Silent Woods. The 'Berin' Autumn Decor Set will look like it has always belonged in your home. Just look at the lived in feel it permeates with the cloth hanging out of the drawer. Those leaf paintings look so real too! I must say, though, that lamp has my attention! I just love the color choices made to create the autumn feel.<br />

<br />
Now, you may be thinking, what I really need is another chair to sit in after I am done hunting so I can rest my weary feet! ell, Bloodsmore, Inc. has heard you and has answered your prayers and thoughts with their lovely and elegant Prince Chair. The regal dark brown wood and the equally impressive fabric make a fantastic autumn addition to any home this season!<br />

We'll round out this collection of gift previews with a lovely dress from Trefusis Designs. This Edwardian Era Autumn outfit is a must-have for the social season. The poofy shoulders, the lace neckline, and those buttons really stand out to show an attention to detail.<br />

Finally, for this round of Hunt goodness, we have a lovely gift from {NS} Nadeau Shoppe (well, I guess you could say I was slightly bias here - hehe). But, seriously, you'll want to take this fun-filled kitchen toy home and start preparing some pumpkin pie - nothing beats that to make it feel like autumn! Also, there's a mesh book as an add-on!<br />

Finally, for the first round of sneak pic hunt gift images, we have a lovely fall bench from Hell House Studios. This wonderfully autumn bench has delicate wood parts with a fun and autumn pattern on the cusions. Keep in mind that Hell House Studios is on Adult-rated land; therefore you must be age verified to go to the store. It is not adult due to graphic adult nature (i.e. sex).<br />
