Hengest and Horsa
Hengest and Horsa – Victory – 400 pieces

A vintage wooden puzzle that hubby bought for me. I enjoyed the image very much, but the quality was less than stellar.

 

The Messenger
The Messenger by Kevin Sloan – Artifact – 313 pieces

Absolutely loved this one! Great quality, great image, and tons of fun! Many thanks to Penny for the fantastic puzzle swap. 🙂

 

Fall's Bounty
Fall’s Bounty by Marjolein Bastin – Ceaco – 300 pieces

Quick and pretty 300 piece puzzle! Marjolein Bastin’s nature artwork makes for fun puzzling!

 

Country Store
Country Store by Art of Eduard – Buffalo – 500 pieces

Mom and I did this one together, and had a great time doing it. I love having so many words to assemble, and the fit was heavenly!

 

Glenny's Garden Shop
Glenny’s Garden Shop by Steve Read – Wentworth – 40 pieces

Beautiful artwork, awesome quality wooden puzzle. No complaints here at all. 🙂

 

Roses Around the Door
Roses Around the Door by Stephen Darbishire – Wentworth – 40 pieces

I did a couple of micro puzzles because I was trying to bump up the number of puzzles in my queue – the fact that they both had a lot of flowers in them escaped me until just now when I was writing about them! Pretty artwork, but I think it would be a bit difficult in a larger piece count.

 

Instruments – Patch Products – 24 pieces
Band – Patch Products – 24 pieces

I love kids puzzles, I get that wonderful sense of completion very quickly – and even though the pieces are large and there aren’t many of them I still completely enjoy myself.

 

Dinosaur – Patch Products –
Dinosaur (back) – Patch Products – 24 pieces

I really enjoyed this one, though I’m not sure I could tell you why. It made me happy to assemble, that’s all I know.

 

Pretending to be Normal
Pretending to be Normal by Suzy Toronto – White Mountain – 1000 pieces

This is the last puzzle that my mother I assembled together. Happily, we loved it and had a great time. It’s going to be reassembled and hung on the wall in the puzzle room. I miss you mom.

 

Spring Tulips
Spring Tulips by Marjolein Bastin – Ceaco – 300 pieces

Pretty image, about average Ceaco quality. It wasn’t too bad, and was challenging enough to make it fun to put together.
