Welcome to the Treasure Hunt for the September issue of Prim Perfect magazine. Over the next few weeks, I will be taking you on adventures across the grid, searching for FOURTEEN items offered by some incredibly talented designers and store owners. To complete the Treasure Hunt challenge, you need to visit each store that I profile, find the featured item, and discover its prim count. Instructions on how to find the prim count of an item can be found either on page 92 of the magazine or on our Treasure Hunt Information Page. For participating, you may win something wonderful by one of these designers from the Prim Perfect prize cabinet.
After the sweet Petit Fours at the last stop, a cup of coffee might hit the spot right about now. Luckily our next stop is at Cafe Collection on Rose Isles. In this tropical location with clear water and white sands, Gospel Voom offers retro 50’s espresso machines. The larger-than-life rotating coffee machine will lead you to the collection. Displayed under casual white awnings are a few cafe tables, chairs, and umbrellas on display, but the coffee machines are the stars of the collection. They come in many solid colors as well as emblazoned with the flags and colors of several nations including the USA, Canada, Ireland, France, and Germany. The treasure hunt competition asks you to find the one bearing the flag of Great Britain and write down its prim count.
A touch to the machine will offer you a choice of six different coffee drinks. Pick your favorite and then watch and listen to the machine working. Lights flash, the needle on the temperature gauge rises and falls, and a steaming hot drink is poured into just the right type of cup. Once the drink is ready, click on it to pick it up and enjoy. I suggest taking your coffee over to one of the cafe tables at the shop to see the sunrise. The warm rosy colors that wash over the landscape are spectacular.
To participate in the treasure hunt challenge, we ask you to find as many prim counts as you can for each of the magazine’s treasure hunt items. Email the counts to primperfect@gmail.com along with your avatar name and the answer to the tiebreaker question which can be found on page 92 of the magazine. 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 October 6, 2008. Please remember – you don’t necessarily have to find every prim count to win a prize! Have fun and keep watching these clues.
