Every now and then, Aldi will release some puzzles during their Special Buys days (held on Wednesdays and Saturdays). In recent times, there has been quite a selection available and the above was one of them. They have sold shaped, wooden and foil designs from their brand Findon (as above), as well as Advent Calendar puzzle sets and cheaper versions of Clementoni (most recently) and even Ravensburger. 

The above puzzle had lots of gold foil accents, was very pretty and was a nice challenge to do. Even better, I didn't feel too guilty about purchasing it and adding it to my collection when the price was so reasonable. 

Do you buy the puzzles Aldi advertises? Which has been your favourite?

Summer Flower Bouquet

Brand: Cardinal
Pieces: 500
Size: 27.9cm x 35.5cm

Well, today is Remembrance Day (11 November)- the day when most countries commemorate the end of the First World War and pay tribute to their fallen soldiers. 

While the day is usually symbolised with red poppies, I found that I don't actually have any puzzles in my collection that feature this theme, so I have instead decided to go with the above puzzle for my blog post today. While there are no poppies in the above bouquet, it's still a pretty bunch of flowers!

The above puzzle was quite quick to do, with the usual tiny pieces of your typical Cardinal puzzle making the dimensions small enough to do on a little piece of cardboard. I love it when you can do a puzzle on one of these because it makes the process so much easier than having to set up a big board! 

The colours were vibrant (although the photo doesn't quite do this justice) and the design was pretty.

A lovely addition to the puzzle collection :)
