Each Christmas I blog Elia Wierwight's Patron, a home decor and art area that is absolutely magical.   Last year I went on and on about her Christmas trees and special garlands and beautiful free wreaths among other things.  She has beautiful items for year round decorating, but I especially get excited over her Christmas items.  This year she has all that, the outdoor gallery, plus so so much more that is just so perfect for decorating, but she taken on a cause this year.  So, I will focus on her cause this year while showing a few pics of her place so you can see just how special it all is.

Eliza was watching a documentary with her child and got inspired to help out a cause.  You can read it all in a touching note, "An Elephant's Tale",  she includes at her sim in the information givers associated with this fund raiser.  To make a long story short she designed special elephant Christmas topiary that can be purchased for one's self or gifted that gives 100% of the sale to "Save the Elephant Organisation/Foundation".

★Buy one gift boxed "Save The Elephant at PATRON Holiday Topiary." for yourself, buy lots and gift the ultimate legacy  to a friend, make a donation, bit by bit we can do this over the next month.
★ Tell your friends, spread the word.
★To sponsor an SEF Elephant costs USD$ 109.20.
★That's approximately L$27,000 per elephant.
★That's 54 donation/sales at L$499 each of the Save The Elephant at PATRON Holiday Topiary per elephant sponsorship.
★Now we multiply that by 35 Elephants which is the current sponsorship goal.
★We can do it !!!
★In fact I have already sponsored one elephants all by myself  (actually with my son because he'd be sad if he wasn't involved)
★Meet the rest of 'our' elephants and read about their journeys to Elephant Nature Park

Patron Christmas Trees

Visit here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Patron/83/149/22
Or check them out on SL Marketplace here: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/products/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search%5Bcategory_id%5D=&search%5Bmaturity_level%5D=G&search%5Bkeywords%5D=Patron+christmas+tree


Last holiday season I lauded the Patron holiday decorations and this year I couldn't resist running over to see the Christmas trees again.  Eliza Wierwight has plenty of her Christmas decorations up already along with all her other beautiful home decor, houses, art, gifts, etc., with promises of more to come.  I love that her work is so detail oriented and I guess that is what we get from a true artist.  I can't resist her things.   Be sure to visit for some beautiful products or just to have a look, as you don't want to miss these amazing trees.

Her most recent note card reads in part...." In your PATRON 2012 Christmas Tree box you will get not one,  but TWO VERSIONS of the PATRON Classic Christmas Tree Editions 2012.

There is the HERITAGE STYLE  which is slightly more conservative at 18 prim. Also the ULTRA STYLE  (as seen displayed at PATRON SIM)  which has different twinkle lights and more ornamentation at  19prim. 

Those Customers who wish to go all out and love lots of bling I've included particle balls to hide inside your trees (or anywhere for that matter) which will shower the areas in my hand made silver or gold stars. I have supplied these in  four ranges /sizes. I hope this will ensure  that everyone's potential custom requirements are met.

★ PERMISSIONS★
All content supplied has Copy Permissions.
Christmas Trees come boxed  in size as seen displayed at PATRON.
They  can then be easily RESIZED  from tiny to MEGA (30M ) and of course all sizes  in between."

The note goes on to say pricing stays the same as last year in spite of her many hours of work put into the trees, resizing is in the skirt for a variety of perfect sizes for any event or build, and lighting and effects can be adjusted.  There is even a Flickr photo contest with prizes.  Check it all out!
