June Treasure Hunt – Clue 5: Antiques Artistry

Welcome to the Treasure Hunt for the June 2008 issue of Prim Perfect magazine! This month we have a record EIGHTEEN items waiting to be found, so put on your traveling clothes and be ready to see some amazing designs. For each item, you need to visit the store to discover its prim count. Instructions on finding the prim count can be found on our Treasure Hunt Information Page. For doing this little task, you could win something from the Prim Perfect prize cabinet, generously donated by talented designers and store owners from around the grid.

Victorian dress is the outfit of choice for visiting Antiques Artistry on the Fatima’s Art sim. Stroll through the elegant gardens, enjoying the formal displays, bridges, houses, and gazebos created by Fatima Ur.  Everything is in bloom – arbors dripping with rose blossoms, twisting purple wisteria trees, and pink cherry trees slowly dropping their petals.  As you wander, watch for this month’s treasure hunt item.  It’s the Four Seasons Gazebo, built of smooth creamy marble with a dome of black cast iron lace.  Four translucent panels hang between the columns, the art on them looking like works by Maxfield Parrish.  It’s a beautiful, glowing structure and you need to find its prim count.

When you’re ready, take a walk up the long, red carpeted staircase into the Antiques Artistry building.  It’s a huge store full of Victorian furniture.    Four stories are there to explore via either a long, curving ramp or convenient teleport pads stationed next to the ramps.  Victorian furnishings are available for every room in the house from sofas to beds to lighting to art.  Fatima Ur also seems to understand that it’s the little things that turn your property into a home.  Throughout the store she has little things that add interest and life into a house – a pair of gloves to rest on an entry table, a life preserver from the Titanic to hang on the wall, or magazines and games to scatter on tables and floors as shown here.  Although Antiques Artistry is new to the treasure hunt, more information about the store and the designer can be found in the holiday 2007 issue of Prim Perfect magazine.

In this treasure hunt competition, we ask you to find as many prim counts as you can for each of the magazine’s treasure hunt items (page 1 and page 2), and send the details to primperfect@gmail.com, including your avatar name and an answer to the tiebreaker question (which you can find in the magazine on page 80). The winner will be the person who is closest to an accurate prim count, and in the event of a tie, the tiebreaker question will be used. Also – you don’t necessarily have to find every prim count to win a prize! Just find as many as you can, and these clues are here to help. You have until July 20, 2008 to send in your entry. Good hunting!
