Spotlight Search: What Smaller, Newer, Lesser-Known Second Life Brands Deserve More Publicity?

Last week's open forum where readers recommended new-ish, small-ish brands for me to feature went so well, I'd like to make it a regular series.* So I ask once again:

What new-ish, smaller, lesser known SL merchants/brands deserve more attention and publicity?

To nominate your favorites, please go to Comments and post:

• Name of the brand
• Marketplace page
• Main social media channel
• Short description of why they deserve more attention/publicity.

There's no hard set guidelines for what brands qualify as "new" or "small", but here's some flexible ones:

To nominate your favorites, please go to Comments and post:

• Name of the brand
• Marketplace page
• Main social media channel
• Short description of why they deserve more attention/publicity.

By "new-ish", I basically mean founded in 2020 or later, by "smaller" I mean, say, less than 50 total ratings of items in their Marketplace, and by "lesser known", let's go with, "main social media channel has less than 500 followers". Again this is a highly malleable criteria, because I'd rather spotlight more rather than less brands.

Butter's Basics, PoNZud, and SIGNA have already been featured here!

*As long as I keep getting good recommendations!

She is a creator in Second Life who specializes in hand-crafted floral-themed items, lovingly made with care and passion.
In an age where AI can generate things in seconds, her work stands out for its warmth and authenticity.

Each piece she makes is carefully painted by hand using traditional digital painting tools—not auto-generated, not rushed.
What truly sets her apart is her deep love for drawing and creating. She doesn’t focus on profit; instead, she finds joy in the act of creation itself. That joy, that sincerity, is beautifully reflected in every one of her items.

If you appreciate the charm of handmade work and the quiet beauty of things made with heart, I wholeheartedly recommend visiting her shop.
You’re sure to find something that speaks to you.
