Country Delivery by Eduard – Buffalo – 1000 pieces

This puzzle was so entertaining that I spent WAY too much time at the board with no breaks. I’m paying for it today, but it was totally worth it! I love a slice of Americana, and this puzzle is so beautiful with just the right amount of challenge.

Usual Buffalo quality, no problems at all other than a shiny finish. The completed puzzle is lovely and it’s one I’d do again if there weren’t hundreds of other puzzles here for me to do. The Country Life series has so many great images, seeing how fun this one was makes me want to get more of them – many more. 😇

When’s the last time you saw one of these out in the world? I couldn’t even tell you the last time I saw a real phone booth or public telephone anywhere. The Bell system, anyone still remember that? My dad worked almost his entire adult life for Michigan Bell, before they were taken over by AT&T. Man, that seems like a lifetime ago.

This puppy seems out of place to me, adorable as it is. I have no problem with digital artists, obviously, as Aimee Stewart is my absolute favorite and she is a digital artist. I know the images we puzzle are many times manipulated to make them more pleasing to the eye, etc.; but for some reason this puppy and bucked just seem very out of place – like they were just plopped there because something was needed to break up all the pavement. Nothing else in this image seems to me like it doesn’t belong, just this. This is all just my opinion of course, if you don’t agree just pay no attention to my rantings.

I just love the look of this old delivery vehicle. Can’t you hear that old timey horn blowing? Ah-oo-ga!

If this image gooses your gumdrops I say go for it; it’s absolutely worth your time and money. 👍🧩💚

Quilt Farm by Eduard – Buffalo (Country Life) – 1000 pieces

Such a beautiful image, and it was so entertaining to assemble that it went together quite quickly. If you’re looking for a great puzzle and the image is to your liking I highly recommend this one.

The quilts were all so colorful and the patterns were so interesting. You know I can’t resist a puzzle with quilts, there’s just something about them. I can’t put my words together to properly convey how happy they make me, but I’ll keep trying. 😊

For some idiotic reason I thought this section with the vegetables would be pretty easy to assemble – boy was I wrong! It turns out that the wooden boxes were much more simple to find and put together. The veggies, well they weren’t always so easy.

Another of my loves, puzzles with dogs. 💕 Of course you were going to get a closer picture of these adorable puppies!

Great puzzle, beautiful image, gorgeous quilts – what’s not to love?

Antique Market by Eduard – Buffalo – 1000 pieces

What a fantastic puzzle to assemble! It had great quality, a beautiful, colorful image with many things to discover; but it wasn’t so busy as to be difficult or distracting. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would, which is always a fun thing to discover while you’re puzzling. 😍

The quality was excellent, very nice to find since there have been a few problems with bent pieces lately with Buffalo puzzles that I’ve done. There was no problem with this puzzle though, and I thoroughly enjoyed the assembly. The fit was tight and the puzzle laid flat, the image reproduction (especially the color) was excellent, and there were the usual variety of piece shapes. The chipboard was thick and felt good in the hand – overall it was just a wonderful puzzle!

Regular readers know I just can’t resist a puzzle with quilts; and there were several in this image. The colors and patterns were absolutely beautiful!

There were many tires and wheels in this image, but they weren’t as easy to find as you might think. I pulled as many pieces with wagon wheels and tires as I could during the initial sorting, but missed almost as many as I found. This red tractor looks as though it would be easy to find the pieces, but there was so much red in the image that this was one of the last things to be put together. It’s a great looking old tractor though, isn’t it?

It wasn’t too easy as to be boring, there was just the right amount of challenge and I completely adored this one. The assembly went faster than I thought, mostly because it was difficult to walk away from. Each small section led to another, and it was so much fun! If you’re looking for a great image that’s entertaining to assemble I highly recommend this puzzle. 👍👍

Quilt Farm by Eduard – Buffalo – 1000 pieces

This is one of the Country Life images from Buffalo, and as usual it’s an entertaining and well-made puzzle. There was zero progress made yesterday, but today I’m feeling as though there will be some good progress made. It seems like a good day for puzzling, doesn’t it?

My next section to tackle is the quilts; both the ones in the back of the truck and the ones set up on display behind it. It may take a while, but it’ll be so beautiful and colorful once it’s done!

Most of the fruits and vegetables are already done, as are the house, barn, and both trucks. The most difficult part seems as if it will be the grass/driveway in the middle of the picture. It shouldn’t be too terrible though, I’m actually looking forward to it. 😎

This image is quite difficult to walk away from; there are so many small things to discover and one piece leads to finding something else…it’s hard for me to stop because I know what the next piece looks like. All I have to do is find it!

The colors are so bright and while the image could seem crowded it doesn’t feel that way as I’m assembling it. My one issue is the finish seems unusually shiny, more so than your average Buffalo puzzle. Perhaps it’s just me and this is how they always are, it’s hard to tell.

As usual I started with all the words, except for the ones on the teal colored roof; those were done separately. Otherwise I just worked with whatever small section seemed like it would be fun to put together. It’s going rather quickly, and I’m enjoying myself immensely.

Working on something fun today? I hope so. Happy puzzling my friends!
