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.
This gorgeous carriage appears courtesy of Sweetbay Designs. We need to find this Brougham Green Body created by followmeimthe Piedpiper. It’s a beautiful dark green carriage with room for up to 4 people on its red upholstered seats. Two can sit up front and two more can sit in the cream padded interior. There is plenty of room for luggage as well in the back and on top, if you need it. The golden wheels and black leaf springs beneath promise a comfortable ride. Don’t get lost staring into the thick glass lanterns until you’ve noted down the prim count!
Not far from the carriage is a small building containing a shop of home furnishings and curiosities. My eyes were immediately drawn to the movement in the front window, this Congreve Clock Mk IV. A steel ball rolls down a tilted wooden circuit, taking 15 seconds each time to travel the path. At the bottom of the path, the seconds hand clicks and time moves on. It’s a mechanical masterpiece of brass, steel, and wood. The clock is set for GMT, but if notified prior to purchase, Pip can set it to a different time zone.
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!
