What's new round these parts.

This time it's the Etruscans who are invading the place, with quite the eclectic collection of other stuff, including a retro-styled kitchen in red, some Minoan furniture, and a set of simpler Roman marble tiles to match the elaborate ones from before. All muddled up in no particular order, as ever.

B204fafat by Maxis (MM)

Old witchy crone in raggedy old greys and drabs for light skin tone. Not her best sweater, no; and she's apparently been dipping indigo, to judge by the stains on her apron. Mullein and henbane in her apron pocket. Carry always the mullein leaf...

B888cat by Maxis (requires Unleashed)

Wingless pet dragon in a steampunk vein; made of deep green glass with an overlay of brass filigree. Actually it's a cat that just looks like a dragon, and so will meow and hiss and such.

Minoan Terracotta Sink

Minoan inset terracotta sink after actual examples found in situ, with a Kamares-ware jug of water at hand. Design of spiraling waves from a Mykenaean bathtub.

Carved beech wood in a design of curling branches with silver leaves; blue book on top shelf is helpfully labelled in tengwar parma, the Quenya word for 'book.'

Victorian Brass Floor Register

Categorized with the rugs in decorative, this brass heating register adds just the right touch to that older home. Requires Unleashed. Why? Because I am so, so clever, that's why.

Darker Grass Set for Magic Town

Darker version of the damned handy grass set from Persimmon Grove which I freakin' use everywhere. It's just a recolor; all I did was futz with the hue/saturation/lightness in Photoshop to make it match the darker shade of grass found in Magic Town. Set includes a one-tile long grass piece, a one-tile short grass piece, a corner piece for blending into the rest of the lawn, and a four-tile piece for covering larger areas.

Policy: Objects and skins by Thalia at Magnolia Sims. Do what you like with my objects and skins: clone, recolor, share, make different versions of skins for different skin tones and body shapes, whatever. Credit would be good, and if you could link I'd appreciate it; but you don't have to. Just don't put anything of mine (altered or unaltered) on a pay site, and don't take credit for something you didn't make. Meshes are not mine, as I can't make them myself; if you want to use them you'll have to refer to the original maker's policy, which I've generally included in the zip. Though if I'm using them, they were good to use when I checked.
