What A View

Brand: Buffalo

Pieces: 300
Size: 46cm x 46cm

Product Code: 2841

Happy New Year!

This would have been the ideal time to put up a puzzle featuring fireworks or some sort of celebration of the coming new year, but once again, I have forgotten to prepare ahead in my puzzle-making and therefore have no images of the sort!

Instead, I have found this image, which is reminiscent of the camping trips we have taken with friends over previous years. Sure, we have not had any scenes remotely like this one appear through our tent doors (I don't know if Australia even has any spots like this) but the camping spirit is there. 

This puzzle was from Buffalo and I was blown away by how pretty the scene was. Even though I'm not a huge fan of camping, I still wouldn't mind waking up to a view like this. 

What are your plans for celebrating the start of the New Year? We left it to the last minute this time round so we will be 'camping' at a friends place. Will you be getting dressed up? Hitting the town? Seeing the fireworks?

Whatever you decide to do, I hope you enjoy a safe and fun night and have a prosperous coming new year!

See you next year with a hopefully updated puzzle catalogue!

Festive Reading Party

Brand: Reverie Puzzles

Pieces: 1000
Size: 50cm x 70cm

Product Code: -

Happy Christmas Eve! 

Tomorrow is the big day but since I usually post on Saturdays, today will be the day when I send you my well-wishes for the holiday season. It is also the day when I have put up this beautiful puzzle from Reverie Puzzles most recent collection! 

This puzzle was recently part of a puzzle-along- which I only realised after I had already completed it, unfortunately. But it was such a pleasure to do that I'm not bothered in the slightest. 

Featuring artwork by illustrator Karina Syevalnyeva, this puzzle brings together all the best parts of a Christmas scene- books, cute gingerbread men and beautiful booklover decorations.

I absolutely love the puzzles from this brand and have nearly all of them in my collection. I'm so glad they produced a gorgeous seasonal design like this one!

That said, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas- my next post will probably be on New Year's Eve if my plans don't get mislaid by the occasion! 

Seasons Greetings to you all! xo

Seasons Greetings From The Avengers

Brand: Buffalo

Pieces: 500
Size: 38cm x 54cm

Product Code: 3210

For my next Christmas puzzle, I have decided to put up this brightly drawn and illustrated design featuring Marvel's The Avengers. Most of the characters we know and love are depicted in this one, complete with a snowy background and jaunty 'Season's Greetings' banner (the only real Christmas-sy thing about the design if I'm being honest!)

This puzzle was a fun, quick one to do, with that wonderful Buffalo quality behind it. 

Next week when I post it will be Christmas Eve and I have a beautiful design ready to upload that I completed during the week. I look forward to putting it up for you then!

Downtown Holiday Festival

 


Brand: Eurographics

Pieces: 500
Size: 48cm x 68cm

Product Code: 6500-5503

Here is my second offering for my Christmas puzzle posting!

This one, which features the detailed and colourful artwork of Mark Frost, was an absolute pleasure to do. 

The pieces were slightly larger than usual so it also felt like it was quicker to put the puzzle together.

I bought this one online earlier in the year from a company in the UK, when I realised that the only Christmas-themed puzzles I really had were all popculture-based. I have several (which will probably be put up over the coming weeks) that feature characters from film and TV in Christmas settings, but very few that show a traditional Christmas design. The aim of this puzzle was to break that up and show something a bit different. Hopefully I can get one of my other Christmas ones done soon to follow this idea... 

I absolutely loved putting this puzzle together, and enjoyed seeing all the little stalls come together in this traditional Christmas market design. I wish I could visit a market in real life that replicated this one- it's just so sweet! 

Does your town have a Christmas market like the one above?

Galaxy's Greetings

Brand: Buffalo

Pieces: 500
Size: 38cm x 54cm

Product Code: 3389

Here's the first of my Christmas-themed puzzles for the month of December- Galaxy's Greetings from Star Wars: The Mandalorian. Featuring an image of cute little Grogu, this festive design caught my attention as soon as I saw it. I loved the series' and this addition to my puzzle collection seemed fitting- especially since I don't have a lot of Christmas-themed puzzles to do! 

The pieces fit together well, and had that wonderful Buffalo quality. I have a few more Buffalo-branded puzzles to complete which I bought from Puzzle Warehouse during one of their sales, so you may see some more pop up in the future...
