Eclectica-Vintage Preserving Kit

Thankyou for your interest!

These items are copy and mod friendly, (excluding some no-mod scripts). They are original mesh, unique to Eclectica, made with love by Tiffy Vella, who adores old vintagey stuff , 3D modeling and texturing.

Please always edit a copy of your item. Keep a master version in your inventory. I will happily send you a new version if you bork one up, and am always happy to help you with enquiries. Also, there is now a redelivery terminal in the foyer of the mainstore.

Each pack includes a Preserving Kit chopping board which is the main object that will rezz other objects from and it will animate you, plus a decorative kit for the stovetop, plus decorative crates of preserves. And a landmark, etc.

This set is designed to allow you to roleplay genuine fruit preserving in the early to mid 20th century. More specifically from 1915 through to the early 50s. Those of you from Australia might be very familiar with the style that is the inspiration. I have this particular set, and have been using it for many years, as my mum and nana taught me, and we all joined in each year, sharing cases of fruit and helping with the process. It would be impossible to share a love of vintage kitchenalia in SL without adding this to the range :)

The chopping board is the main functional item and it can be placed on any surface that you wish to use, such as a table or counter. I have set it up for a small kitchen table, and if you use a smaller surface you may wish to adjust the positions of rezzed items. The AVSitter system is used, and so it is very easy to adjust the positions of items, save them, and dump them (copypaste them from chat to the notecard in the contents) to ensure seamless behaviour. If you need help, I will be happy to talk you through.

Details about each of the pieces in this range are-

Eclectica- Preserving Kit chopping board-
A vintage styled chopping board with knife. Place this in the centre of your desired work surface, where a chopping board would naturally sit. You may touch the knife to spawn decorative items to replicate a busy day's work. Decorative items include a preserving kit (touch to fill), crates of fruit, crates of bottles, plus filled bottles, decorative items such as rings, clips, lids, the thermometer, etc. Also spawnable from the chopping board are individual bottles in several sizes, which are designed for you to touch and complete the process of adding rings, filling with fruits, adding lids, then clips to seal. Once done, you can select "delete scripts" and place these in your pantry.

You can also click on the board itself and 'sit'. Look for a pop-up asking permission to animate you and attach things to you. Say Yes! This will allow you to stand at the chopping board and be animated with props. You can prepare apricots, peaches and plums, and hang about looking busy.

The chopping board is 2li when empty. With all possible decor spawned, it is 33li.

Eclectica- preserving kit for stovetop-
An extra preserving kit for your stovetop, as titled. It differs a little from the decor one in that the thermometer is in the correct place, the lid is on, it emits a little steam, and makes a gentle bubbling sound (touch to toggle this as I know not everyone likes a lot of noise). I have not gone to the trouble of adding actual bottles of fruit to the kit,as, well...lid..and these were always used when sealed. But you can if you like. All is mod so do be creative of you want to.

LI = 2.

Eclectica- crate of preserved apricots-
Eclectica- crate of preserved peaches-
Eclectica- crate of preserved plums-
These are decorative crates of preserved fruits in their jars. You can use these to inspire a vintage market stall, or busy Edwardian larder...or...preppers bunker, idk, ydy. Yes, you can unlink and rearrange them.

LI = 4,5 and 4 respectively.

So, you can roleplay being a housemistress or kitchenhand from Edwardian through to the 40s/50s, running a household, or farm, or cottage industry (or realistically a Fallout shelter) with this set. Hope you have fun!

If you need assistance, please contact me (Tiffy Vella) via IM, as I may be able to help you even when not inworld. I do not mind questions, and would rather the opportunity to help if there is any issue.

All the best, and please enjoy using my designs to make your sl environment a little more immersive and expressive. :)
