Very nice picture!

I was hoping to find a cheap Halloween puzzle and happy when this showed up for $6.99 as one of those special limited time sale prices on Amazon, it’s not the best quality, similar to Master Pieces, but not bad for that price.

Nice!

Nothing made morning brake at work better than coffee with a good creme filled, chocolate cover donut

On edit, I guess it was custard filled, similar to that in an eclair, or creme puff, eclairs and creme puffs were too expensive and harder to get. I miss being able to eat sweet things

TCG licensed the picture 2017 . I suspect TCG made the puzzle for sale as a tourist item, the magnetic close box is really nice. TCG makes Sure Lox, and the puzzle seemed like a Sure Lox. I also found a Montpelier in Kodak puzzles, but their picture is cropped differently.

I agree!

Nice picture!

On edit: We just trashed a used Sure-Lox we bought at a thrift shop, in addition to missing pieces far to many were mutilated, with the small thin section near the hole torn off. I can enjoy a puzzle with a few couple pieces but mutilated pieces that do not stay together is too frustrating. We did new Sure-Lox and they stayed together but fragile.!

I really like the old Norman Rockwell pictures

Good advice!

We do have many puzzles that we do more than once, but buy a lot from thrift stores and outlet stores, also check online . Amazon some times will sell puzzles for about $5.00 (US) with free shipping.

There are two older adults (retired). We do not usually work on the puzzles the same time but do share the same puzzle. At one time we had a different setup, using a 48" round table and we could work together, but now use a rectangular table with a bright shop light suspended over the puzzle for better light. My wife will do diamond art work if I am working on the puzzle. Without going into personal details, we are physically limited in the things we can do.

We usually mark the box “1 piece missing” but not on the picture. We bought many marked that way.

Thank you for sharing, very nice! It looks like a Thomas Kinkade painting called Courage, maybe Ceaco puzzle?

We have seen the “wasgij puzzles”, but don’t remember doing any. I think it was “The Observatory” by Ravensburger, listed as an escape puzzle had a section that was different than pictured . I did not like it because the puzzle was too dark, difficult to see. We usually avoid the mystery type puzzles.

More on box art: I think White Mountain (not sure on brand ) includes a stand to hold the box top and many include posters.

We do the same as you. Bits and Pieces brand puzzles are the most difficult ones for me to sort edges, they use unusual shapes. Some times we do not finish the edge but work around the missing pieces until we find them.

Good answers.

On edit: I think we do it similarly. Some times new puzzles have pieces stuck together and tear if you try to separate them.

Good questions, I never thought of having rules.

On edit: After much thought, another question - if you buy a used puzzle and the previous owner separated all the edge pieces into a plastic bag, do you mix them back in to sort again, do you even sort at all? It is interesting to learn how others do it.

We use the Lavievert board and case - bought it on Amazon. The trays are nice but too small. We use cafeteria trays with fabric attached with double sided carpet tape. We have it about 2 years, starting to show signs of wear. There may be better products, hopefully others will comment.

You can get good puzzles at many stores, Amazon, Target, Barns & Noble etc. . Some of our favorite brands include Ravensburger, Springbok, Buffalo, White Mountain, Vermont Christmas Company, SunsOut. There are other brands, hopefully others will comment.

We also use a cheap, “Lifetime” brand 48 inch fold in half round portable table, it is not very sturdy but does hold everything we need.

Good Luck, looking forward to seeing some pictures of the completed puzzles.
