You will never grow to your fullest potential unless you plant seeds of joy, love, fullfillment, hope and success.  Nature can only return to you what you plant. ~ Authour Unknown

While I love to shop for the latest clothing designs in Second Life, I am happiest when digging in pixel dirt.  Just like in 1st it’s very relaxing for me.  This little potting/planting area stands just off the potager behind Le Petit Cafe Cygne.  I can’t remember not ever having a garden in 2nd Life, and as long as I continue on here, there will always be one.  For me, it gives a sense of realism in this virtual world.  Plant your own seeds of inspiration and watch them multiply tenfold.  Be kind to one another.  TWMA♥

Tea. An aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured leaves of the Camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub (bush) native to East Asia. After water, it is the most widely consumed drink in the world. This according to Wikipedia.  Whateevveerr.  All I know is that there is nothing better than a hot cup of tea, or two, or three to get my morning, my afternoon and my evening started.  Laughs. And ice tea is served year-round in my home as well.  I also make a pretty mean currant scone which would make my British/Irish/Scot ancestors proud.  So it should be no surprise that I would pay homage to tea at Petit Lac Des Cygnes.

Several builds were considered before settling on the Pavilion de Boulogne by China & Goodies.  It’s not a massive structure; four rooms in all measuring 19 meters x 24 meters.  Land impact is on the heavy side, but the Pavilion textures and overall appearance are outstanding.

The vestibule is the first room you enter.  Its furnishings while ornate are kept to a minimum.  In the center of the room is a round table with a small portrait of Marie Antoinette, for which the Pavilion is named.  Lilacs scent the air.

Off to one side of the vestibule is the former boudoir now a private dining room for two.

Returning to the vestibule, through the double doors you will find the oval Grand salon.  Here is the main tearoom furnished with white wrought iron furniture, afternoon tea, and all the trimmings.  The doors can be opened to catch the gentle breeze.

On the other side of the vestibule is a “raucheffoir,” or small warming kitchen where tea and all it entails is prepared.

Outside in the surrounding garden are tables, each set with a different tea set that is interactive.  Armillaries house an intan, birds chirp merrily, water trickles softly from the fountain while lights twinkle through the maple trees.  A lovely spot for friends to gather or maybe a romantic interlude for two?

Your ride can be found here.  Be kind to one another.  TWMA♥
