Village Grocer Puzzle from the Vermont Christmas Company

I don’t know why, but I love vintage store puzzles. Them and bookstores. Maybe it’s the items on the shelves. The colors. I’m not sure. It’s always interesting to find out what was on the shelves back in the day. Back when shopping wasn’t this sterile experience like it is today. Look at this Village Grocer puzzle from the Vermont Christmas Company for example. Look at the produce. The flowers. The shelves. Ok, so maybe it’s not realistic, but I like it and I liked doing this puzzle!

Great Fit, Great Colors. Great Puzzle.

When you step back and look at a puzzle after you put in the last piece and smile, that’s a great moment. That’s why you puzzle. Or at least why I do. It’s doubly special when the puzzle is made with quality. From the cut to the thickness to the colors. I really enjoyed this Village Grocer puzzle from the Vermont Christmas Company.

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 24″ high and 30″ wide. The pieces are small but thick and fit really well. The image is crisp and bright. This is a great, quality puzzle! It does not include a poster but the box image is clear and easy to work from.

Looney Tunes That’s All Folks Puzzle from Aquarius

This Looney Tunes That’s All Folks puzzle from Aquarius is another great puzzle that we picked up what I call the most dangerous store in the world, Puzzled Fun and Games in The Island at Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. I was looking for a cartoon-themed puzzle because I think they are not only fun but the artwork is so often bright and colorful. In this case I was fooled by the simplicity and beauty of the picture, not realizing that this isn’t the easiest puzzle around. Not by any means.

Not So Easy

There are areas of this Looney Tunes That’s All Folks puzzle from Aquarius that are more difficult than others. Of course, putting the characters together was fun. And that was challenging enough on its own in spots. But the red and black patterns around the edges were definitely more challenging.

The Signature Piece

We didn’t realize it at the time, but every Aquarius puzzle has a signature piece in it somewhere. It’s one of those fun things you look for while you’re putting a puzzle together. You can see the piece in the center of the picture below.

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 20″ high and 28″ wide. The pieces come in a baggie but it is not resealable. There is no poster included. The pieces are big, thick and fit really well. The image is crisp and bright. If you are looking for a quality puzzle that is frame-worthy, this would be a great choice!

Pretty As A Pitcher Puzzle from White Mountain

We both really enjoyed putting together this Pretty As A Pitcher puzzle. Available from White Mountain, it has 1000 pieces. We purchased it at our local grocery store, Meijer. Meijer often has pretty good sales on puzzles. We make it a habit to walk down to the ‘other end’ of the store where the puzzles are any time we are shopping for groceries. It’s rare that we come away empty handed. And often, we come away with a puzzle from White Mountain.

Quality And Fit

As with the other White Mountain puzzles we’ve done, we found the quality of this Pretty As A Pitcher puzzle to be good. The pieces fit well. They were random cut, which is something I prefer. There was just a bit of dust in the box when we opened it and started sorting.

Fun And Rewarding

The colors on the pieces were bright and crisp. And although there are several pitchers in the picture that are similar in design and color, it wasn’t difficult to tell the pieces apart. The wood shelves were slightly more challenging but not so much so. We wouldn’t call it a particularly difficult puzzle. But we would definitely call it fun!

The Last Piece

The finished puzzle was around 24″ high and 30″ wide. The box included a color poster, which is always a plus for us since we each like to have a picture of the final puzzle while we are assembling it.
