Reminiscing #7: Pagan Place

The Witch and The Wand is a wonderful store on one of my favorite sims. I blogged earlier about how I had visited there and meditated. Feeling at peace and secure.  My first non-essential purchase was from there. A lovely pentagram necklace for L$100. I wore it always with every outfit. It took all my money but I treasured it and I wore it with pride. One day as I was waiting for our new clan lands to be finished I went there on a whim and discovered something wonderful.

Nahnee, the owner, had expanded the area to include these wonderful little cottages. 100 prims for L$175 a week was a steal and right within our budget! We had been staying in a little skybox for 2 weeks with all kinds of issues. I knew this was going to be our sanctuary! We stayed at one cottage for a few weeks then moved to the other end when a better location opened up.

This little cottage was our first attempt at decorating. I found several low prim freebie furniture spots and took weeks to perfect our little space. During this time Rikk got a new blood doll, Heart, who also rented a spot here. And her friend, Angel, decided to rent. Along the way we helped several clan members rent here. As a thank you Nahnee allowed us 10 free prims per new renter as long as they stayed on. In the end we had 140 prims for L$175 a week. We never did use all the prims. I was happy just to help others find a nice place to live.

I felt my confidence grow here as I had some new experiences. I learned to build. The tiniest of things like a picture frame and window coverings. But to me it was triumphant. I learned to edit. Often times my couch would end up in the next sim. Or once I tried to place a vase on the mantle and lost it. I noticed something sticking through the wall one day and set a plant in front of it thinking it was Nahnee's landscaping. Two weeks later I discovered it was my long lost vase stuck half way out and half way in. I was notorious for getting dressed in the living area and accidentally opening the front door while bald and nude.

 

I would enjoy the pagan music and try to use the meditation cave whenever I could. I absolutely loved it at Pagan Place. I would often walk the grounds with midnight setting and feel completely at peace.
