changes in the hollow today :)

[glitter8pony]

Hi pixie pals! As you all know there have been some edits with some shops well I just flew in to check them out and I found a lot more then a few edits! There were 2 new shops! Fires they have a new queens shop where you can buy exclusive stuff with pixie diamonds! (I bought a blue dress for 70 diamonds!) The queen shop is also the only shop with limited inventory! Only 1000 of each thing! Big shocker! There is also a new shop replacing the Brooks basics! Brooks basics is now a gardening shop! (the background in yesterdays news!) where you can get stuff to plant in our new GARDENS!!! Oh and they moved Kits hideout to evergreen overlook to make room for Queen's! Oh! And they brought Cheese's great adventure back to fairy tale theater! Thats all the updates I can remember so make sure you drop by and take a look! (Especially Queen's! The dresses are so elegant! I spent most of my diamonds on my dress!)

The Garden shop is ALSO a Diamonds only shop .. sigh ...

the Never News hasn't been updated with the changes yet, but here's what i found when i flew in this morning.

GARDENS!
there is a new icon in the top right corner of the game window. clicking on it takes you to your garden, which you can also get to from inside your home. it looks like you get two 1 day Dulcie's Cookie seeds and one 3 day Fancy Flower seed to start with. you can buy more seeds at Brook's using Pixie Diamonds.

there's also an option to use "insta-grow" for 1 diamond to instantly grow them. i've planted the ones i started with; will have to see what happens.

you can also decorate your garden with storage items, and you can visit your friends' gardens and "sing" to their plants to help them grow.


other changes i found:

Havendish Square:

• Kit has moved to Evergreen Overlook
• there is a new Queen's Boutique shop with outfits that can only be bought with Pixie Diamonds. there are a limited number of each available; 796/851 left of the Incredible Iris Dress for 80, and 940/1000 left of the Grand and Graceful Gown for 70.
• Fairy Tale Theater has the play for Cheese, so Cassie's Costume Shop has the corresponding outfits. this includes Tinker Bell's costume from the first movie, so good time to get this if you don't have it.

Dewdrop Vale:

• Brook's Basics is now a Garden Supply shop run by Brook.

currently available at Brook's Basics:

1 day seeds (1 diamond each):

• Dulcie's Cookie Seeds (grow into cookies)
• Rainbow Dye Seeds (grow into dyes)
• Colorful Sweet Seeds (grow into Silly Sweets)

3 day seeds (2 diamonds each):

• Little Gardener Seeds (grow into garden themed items)
• Stylish Shoe Seeds (grow into shoes)
• Fancy Flower Seeds (grow into flowers)

5 day seeds (3 diamonds each):

• To-Fly-For Top Seeds (grow into tops)
• Teatime Seeds (grow into furniture)
• Skirt or Slacks Seeds (grow into clothing)

Special Edition seeds (5 diamonds each, 5 days to grow):

• Garden Premier Seeds - these look like they each grow into a (random?) piece of an outfit

Cottonpuff Field:
it looks like Coal's Clothiers has all new collections:

• Sparrow Ninja
• Light Layers
• Agave Collection
• Ivy Accessories
• Sparrow Man Woodwinds (harmonica, pan pipes, saxophone)
• Shell Accessories (hats, belts)

i'm not sure if there are any other changes, but these are the ones i found.

I know the Queen's shop is exclusive items, but I think
they are way over priced. The clothes are very pretty, but
like Rose said, " she spent most of her diamonds there".
This is their way of getting everyone to buy more and
more diamonds, I think.

Thanks Littlebell. This is very helpful.

[Lila Mossgarden]

The BALLROOM is open with PINK rose bunches and there is a seed pack there to pick up!

[Foxfeather]

Looks like it takes 300 diamonds to get the badges. At least I can get the singing badges. That is expensive. I guess they want it to last a long time before you finish or buy more diamonds.

[Heather Cedarspeck]

Also to let you know about the dresses in the Queen's shop. You're NOT able to re-dye the dresses. So choose wisely. I choose the one I liked best considering it was so pricey. I was going through my clothes and discovered that you cannot re-dye the dresses unlike the ones you can in the Post Office.

Another thing I noticed: There are a few other badges available to earn.
Under the Talent Games Tab: Vidia's Daily Spin
Sneaky Mr. Twitches (Member's Only):
A super rare badge that you can win by playing Vidia's Daily Spin!

Tinkering:
Royal Tinker-tastic: (Member's Only):
This badge is awarded for personal tinkering at least 500 tinkering items.

Garden: Get Growing (9 badges)
Garden: Garden Melodies (3 badges)

New Mainland Product badges to earn (2 badges).

There are badges for singing & growing the plants!! Of course Cozy has a full garden so feel free to sing all you want This means I have to stop in & check them every day now...lol!

[Mia Lightningwillow]

Thank you for all the great information Littlebell!

And thank you Heather! I wanted to buy the gown, (also noticed you can NOT buy one piece you must buy the whole thing) but now that I know it can't be dyed I will pass.

I'm not doing this. I refuse to buy diamonds when I already have membership.

One thing I noticed and I'm sure it's been mentioned, but I leveled up one of my fairies and got four dimonds. This made me happy as both of my two other fairies are only at levels 22 and 23.

One nifty thing about the gardens is that you can decorate it like your homes! That I like!!!!!

[Rin]

I love the Iris dress in the Queen's Boutique, but it's so expensive! The iris is my favorite flower, but I guess that's the price the Queen pays for her clothes.

As beautiful as the colors are, I still wish we could dye it!

[Breezy lemonwind]

Thank you Heather for posting the other badges to earn.

I like that we can decorate our gardens. We have enough
things that can go outdoors, so this helps out.

[Sapphira110]

Non-members can play all the games now, and different levels, not just Easy. Plus, they opened up badges that non-members can earn for the talent games.

[Octavia Mistylake]

I am seriously getting frustrated with how the Hollow is converting to diamonds. It's like there is very little benefit for members who have to pay twice over to get any decent sort of benefit now. Membership is starting not to pay.

[glitter8pony]

I bought the blue dress from Queen's Boutique! It really brings out Roses water talent!

[Moonstone]

Ugh the prices in the Queen's Boutique is ridiculous.
I really wanted the blue gown for Misty but there's no
hope in that when I have zero diamonds after my gardens.
I really wish members could just use ingredients instead of
diamonds. I'm read yo cave in and buy the diamonds but
that's their plan I'm sure.
