Puzzle Mail

I have been trying to reign in the puzzle buying after going a bit crazy this summer. I’m not sure how successful I have been, but here are the eight puzzles I have purchased in the last month:

  • The Cambridge from Buffalo Games, Charles Wysocki
  • You’ve Got Mail from Spaghetti Tree Puzzles, Lori Harris
  • Autumn Festival from Pieces & Peace, Abby Jacobs
  • Seasons in Kyoto from eeBoo, Jennifer Potter
  • Paris Christmas from eeBoo, Jennifer Orkin Lewis
  • English Cottage from eeBoo, Victoria Ball
  • Home of Fashion from Penny Puzzle, Gaia Marfurt
  • NYC Apartment from Ravensburger, Jason Taylor

Only the Spaghetti Tree is 500 pieces; the rest are 1000. So I’m not doing very well at trying to obtain smaller piece counts, but I am still happy with all of my purchases.

Puzzle Haul

I have purchased a few puzzles recently that I am excited about. I am trying to get more smaller piece counts because most of the ones I have on my to do shelf are 1000 pieces. I was somewhat successful!

Puzzles in this haul:

  • Rainbow Sunrise – Buffalo Games – 500 pieces – Josie Lewis
  • Eastern Bloc Telephones – Galison – 500 pieces – Troy Litten
  • Potting Shed – Mulic – 500 pieces – Chris Bigelow
  • Happy Beads – Ravensburger – 500 pieces – Elspeth McLean
  • Sewing and Reading – Pieces & Peace – 1000 pieces – Angela Holland
  • Quaint Cafe – Ravensburger – 1000 pieces – Jason Taylor

Buying puzzles is definitely its own hobby, that’s for sure!

Recent Puzzle Hauls

I have acquired several puzzles over the last few weeks that I am excited about doing. Most are new but a couple are used.

  • Balloons from Ravensburger, 300 pieces – part of their Moments line and it’s just so pretty
  • Diamond Dahlia from Buffalo Games, 500 pieces – looks like a lovely rainbow puzz!le
  • Wine Country Camper from Ceaco, 750 pieces – hard to find puzzle from the Happy Camper series, had to get off Poshmark
  • Amsterdam Weekend from Antelope, 1000 pieces – have wanted this one for a while and decided to take the plunge
  • Whimsical Village, Concord, 500 pieces – saw this and loved it, found on ebay
  • The Tree of Hope, Pintoo, 300 pieces – this brand is new to me and is famous for their plastic pieces
  • Coastal Harbour, Ravensburger, 1000 pieces – recently did one by this artist, Georgia Breeze, and really enjoyed it. This came from the UK but was sold on Amazon, so I didn’t have to mess with high shipping or customs fees
  • Simple Joys, 1canoe2, 1000 pieces – I have done one other by this brand and liked it a lot, this one just looks so relaxing

I am going to try buying fewer puzzles for the next month or so and try to focus on the ones I already have. That is a really difficult challenge for me, though, so we’ll have to see how I do!
