Here is my first clue to the hunt.
Clue #1
Given in love
And taken in greed
But which one came first, as they say?
Easy to love
As the day dawns
But green by the end of the day?
I have three correct submissions so far, but still more prizes are up for grabs. I hope this helps nudge some of you in the right direction. I will post another clue next Saturday, October 17th.
Good luck!

The strategy that allowed me to crack this hunt was to figure out the clue behind the magician image.

I have another winner! I will release all the names and prizes on November 1st, but there are still three prizes left to be won, so if you are working on this, don't give up yet.
To help you along, here is Clue #2:
When these are in order
From the first to the last
This half-dozen series
A lost piece of the past
A past of great wealth
A past of great pain
What's missing is needed
In this broken chain
Good luck!

I had Jenny post a sneak peek of one of the prizes for this hunt. There are still 3 prizes available, all are different, but all are within the theme of this puzzle. I will also post a mini-clue tomorrow before the final clue which will be posted on Saturday.

I wonder if the first clue is just for one of the years/items or for multiple years/items.

I wonder if the first clue is just for one of the years/items or for multiple years/items. I am one of the successful solvers. I think it's ok for me to reveal that it's for all of the years/items. |

Yes, pumalion is correct. Clues #1 and 2 both refer to all the items as well as the back story. The mini-clue I released on Wednesday is about the title only. |

Thank you. And, congrats. The only thing I have solved for sure is the Belladora cipher. I just need something to keep me busy tonight. Now, back to the drawing board...I mean cork board.

Here is the 4th and final clue to The Overseas Matron hunt:
Are you still lost in the dark?
Where did this chick get her start?
All unique but the same
A surprise and a name
The locale of this find
Is seen in the first line
Sound out all the words
And this place will be heard
I have another winner, so there are only two prizes left to be claimed. There is still time to submit your solutions!
I will post the names of the winners and pictures of the prizes once all prizes have been claimed, but will not post the solution to the hunt until November 1st.
Good luck!
