Street Food by Shanghee Shin – Re-marks – 300 pieces
This puzzle sat on my board from the middle of August last year when I took my break, until January, 2021 – that’s when I finally photographed it and put it away. Talk about just walking away from puzzles. Yeesh!
Re-marks puzzles seem to range from very good to fair quality. I’ve had a couple of their puzzles that were full of “hanging chads”, that extra paper hanging on the backs of pieces; a very spongy fit that you have to work at, etc. But I’ve also done several of their puzzles that have been very good quality as well. The deciding factor for me is normally the image. I can put up with a lot of quality “issues” if the image is one that delights or informs, or just makes me happy. Their collage puzzles are a joy to assemble. 👍
Tuna flavored hot dogs? Ew! There are so many words in this image, but these jumped out at me, new tuna flavor? No thank you. 🤢
Perhaps some of you will remember that when the fit of a puzzle is particularly tight, Stacey likes to stand it up on it’s end and photograph it standing on it’s own. Apparently, this also causes Stacey to speak about herself in the third person. Interesting.
This was the last puzzle I assembled before I took my break; so it’s the last puzzle I’m posting about that I don’t remember assembling. From now on you can be sure any puzzle I post about I will have some memory of the assembly. Unless I fall down and hit my head or something.
It’s entirely possible. I fall a LOT. 🤕

Quality issues are also less annoying in puzzles with 500 pieces or less, I find. We don’t have Re-marks in Europe (at least not where I buy puzzles). Do they do larger piece counts as well?

I have worked Re-marks puzzles up to 1500 pieces I think. They have great collages that are tons of fun to assemble.

You know you only have to ask my friend, and I’d be happy to get some puzzles for you. Or you could shop from where you are and ship them here. I’d be more than pleased to send them to you – I love being The Puzzle Fairy! The International Puzzle Fairy sounds even better. 🧚♀️

Thank you, that’s a lovely thought! Unfortunately, I hear that deliveries over the Atlantic have become even more erratic, with parcels often sitting in some terminal for up to 3 months, so perhaps not, at least not right now. But I’m still keeping the “Clever Women Are Dangerous, Too”-puzzle for you 🙂

Oooh! I forgot about that one! I’ll have to keep a Re-marks 1500 piece collage for you. Perhaps the 1980’s one.

The 1980s collage sounds great! I’m actually rewatching Hill Street Blues right now, great show.

That has rubbed off on me too. I love to stand them up, take pics to put on the blog, and in my write ups for the blog I always mention that Stacey would love this too. U are an influencer, lady! LOL
