Summer Treasure Hunt – Clue 8: Bygone Days

The Summer 2008 issue of Prim Perfect magazine is now available, and with it comes another Treasure Hunt competition! This time we’re searching for items created by TWELVE talented designers. For each item, you need to visit the store, find the item, and uncover its prim count. Instructions on finding the prim count can be found on our Treasure Hunt Information Page. If you accept this challenge, you could win something from the Prim Perfect prize cabinet, generously donated by talented designers and store owners from around the grid.

Our next treasure hunt item is somewhere within the antique reproductions of Bygone Days.  Jeannie Moonflower created this elegant clothes valet for the man of the house.   When he decided to retire for the evening, the gentleman would hang his jacket upon the smooth cherry wood hanger and drape his trousers over the brass bar.  Items such as this tell a story about the owners of a house, and Jeannie explained it so well when she appeared on an episode of Meta Makeover.  She did the interior design of a Victorian house in Cheswick Village, and if you watch closely, you just might spot this hunt item!

Speaking of stories, what does this trio say about their owner?  These dragon heads are a brand new item, part of Bygone Days’ collection of furnishings for castles and other large residences.   They look realistic and rather scary from a distance, but they are actually flat.  Don’t let that fool you into complacency, though.  The eyes, in blue, red, and green, seem to pulse with a life of their own.  Hmmm… perhaps I’ll run back to check the prim count of that clothes valet.  I’ll be over there when you’re done looking at these guys.

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. Email the prim counts as well your avatar name to primperfect@gmail.com. Please also include your answer the tiebreaker question which you can find in the magazine on page 90. 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. Your answers are due by September 1, 2008. Please remember – you don’t necessarily have to find every prim count to win a prize! Have fun and find as many as you can. Keep watching these clues for help.
