The Dutchie Spa Bundle is a special discount Summer offer from the beloved creator of SL furnishings, one of many bundles that Dutchie owner Froukje Hoorenbeek is offering now. (Many more below.) She's offering these as she's going through a real life health crisis that will take her away from SL content creation for awhile:
"What I have is two fractured vertebrae," she tells me, "and the operation is being done by a neurosurgeon and an orthopedic surgeon together. They are gonna put cages and screws in to fixate my spine and it's gonna take at least 4 hours for them. Afterward, I will not be able to work for at least 3 months, they tell me. Sitting will be hard to do during that time.
"We have pretty good health care in the Netherlands and I have insurance, so the operating costs are covered. The two months of recovery afterward are not."
So she is expanding her Marketplace offerings now ("as much as the pain allows me") as she prepares for her operation, and the long stretch afterward. Dutchie, a sometime sponsoring supporter of New World Notes (though not at the moment) is a longtime and much-admired SL brand, so if you are in the market for great virtual home furnishings, I hope you consider shopping on her store.
More Dutchie bundles below, and all my best for a speedy Dutchy recovery!
