February Treasure Hunt – Clue 3: Bygone Days

Plant from Bygone DaysOnce again there’s a Treasure Hunt in this month’s edition of Prim Perfect. There are TWELVE stores taking part this month – and you have to visit the store to discover the prim count of each of the pieces featured in the magazine. You’ll find instructions on how to find the prim count for an item on our Treasure Hunt Information page.

Today’s clue is another fun one from Jeannie Moonflower of Bygone Days. When she showed me this, I promptly said – “This looks like one of my plants.” And doesn’t it make a lovely (and highly realistic) addition to any Second Life home? Don’t we all have plants like this that we’e desperately attempting to revive?

Jeannie, as many of you know, is well known for her beautiful and realistic creations of period furniture – she recently worked on the most lovely ground floor for the Metamakeover show – and produced a splendid kitchen.

Kitchen from Bygone DaysSome of you (many of you, I hope!) will have seen the big house kitchen Poppet McGimsie produced for Morgaine Manor, which was featured in the December edition of Prim Perfect. Jeannie produced a kitchen of a similar era, but for a far less grand home with a wealth of fascinating details.

There’s a series of pictures as part of the broader set about the Makeover House, so you can see more shots of the downstairs, including a magnificent sewing room.  But I have a real weakness for the kitchen with its carefully crafted detail, right down to the clothes drying over the kitchen range!  I remember my grandmother having a drying rack like that, when I was so very tiny that the distance she hauled it up towards the ceiling seemed to be immense.

Her stove was rather more modern though!

With its special sink for washing clothes and the fearsome mangle, this is the perfect kitchen for people who want to have a kitchen area in their period home, but lack a vast amount of space to place it.   Although someone this organised would probably not be hunting for a spectacularly wilting plant …

That, however, is your task as you pursue the next stage of the Treasure Hunt.

For the treasure hunt competition, what you have to do is to find as many prim counts as you can, and send the details to primperfect@gmail.com, including your avatar name and an answer to the tiebreak question (which you’ll find in the magazine on Page 90). The person to find the most prim counts will win – and in the event of a tie, we will use the tie-breaker. Also: – you don’t necessarily have to find every prim count to win a prize! Just find as many as you can – by March 5th 2008.
