Vintage Halloween by Finchley Paper Arts

Vintage Halloween by Finchley Paper Arts

I knew this puzzle would be a lot of fun when I first saw it on one of my FB puzzle groups. Sure enough, I was right. It was a ton of fun! The vintage pictures of children from a long gone era were sweet and adorable, and the level of detail and quality of the image were also pretty wonderful. This was a new brand for me — even though they’ve been around a long time and I’ve got…

Evening in Paris

Evening in Paris

The sharpness of the puzzle image; the smooth linen finish of the pieces; and the satisfying way the pieces fit together — all signs of a classic Ravensburger puzzle. This gorgeous image was a thrill from beginning to end and I plan to frame and hang it up in my downstairs guest bedroom. For this one I started with the border as it was pretty quick and easy to figure out. From there I assembled most of the lower section…

Retro Fun

I was so excited for this puzzle when I ordered it recently on White Mountain Puzzles website. I am always a sucker for a good collage and they are the king of collage puzzle makers (at least IMHO). This particular puzzle features shows and pop culture items from a bygone era. In fact, I told my husband when I started the puzzle that I wish we could keep the technological and scientific advances we enjoy today, but go back in…

Rickie Pickett’s General Store

My mother-in-law gave me this puzzle on one of their recent visits from Port St. Lucie, FL. She indicated it was left in their community clubhouse during the pandemic and she had brought it home to attempt, but quickly gave up as she felt it was too difficult. Most likely she got scared off by all the brown in the puzzle — there is quite a bit. So of course I was happy to take up the challenge. I have…

Waterfall Valley – Charles Wysocki

Waterfall Valley – Charles Wysocki

I don’t know why, but I love puzzles with trains. I’ve never been on one so not sure what my fascination is with them but I always love puzzles that have a train as one of the main focal points. The train in in this puzzle is more in the background and blends in with the rest of the buildings, but I still love it. It’s a Charles Wysocki as well which are always so much fun and easy to…

Vintage Seed Packets

Vintage Seed Packets

Vintage Seed Packets (if I’m remembering the White Mountain Puzzle title correctly) was an extremely fun build. The old fashioned seed packets are so beautiful and colorful. This was another puzzle where I found myself saving the border for last as it’s all the peach colored frame and was much easier to place once I had the interior completed. Then it made the border quite quick and easy. When my mother in law saw this one she really loved it…
