These lovely heeled sandals, made from pearlized ivory leather, bear a cascading profusion of sculpted roses. Your toes will enjoy this garden--all thorns have been removed! We call them Jos roses, after Tamsin's first Nigerian home. Why? When a neighbor trimmed her roses and handed Tam the cut canes, she just stuck them in the ground. Not only did they root, they bloomed within three months! Get them on Saminaka at Cinnamon Brigade: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Saminaka/121/177/31/31

HAWKING IN THE MARKET--SAMINAKA COMMERCIAL NEWS

***Cinnamon Brigade will rain five new pairs of shoes on the virtual world this coming week! Will debut them through Fashion Consolidated, and let you small business owners who have been considering it know how much of an impact it has!

***Saminaka will soon have a new combo library/bookshop. Our first publication is out, over by the Middle Passage Experience, and consists of the bound slide show presentation about the Middle Passage. Soon a version of last week's Olaudah Equiano lecture will be published as well. Each at the modest price of 50L, in a handy Hippobook.

***New small stalls at small prices (with small prim allowances) will still be up soon--great for vendors! We'd love a hair vendor, particularly, so if you have a friend...

***The Compass's circulation keeps growing! We were at 98 last week, and now--163 minutes ago! A happy increase--tell your friends!
