Missing Pieces

We’re actually ok buying a used puzzle with missing pieces. If we know it upfront that is. Put a note on the box. Circle where the piece is missing. Something. Anything so we know. We might change my mind about buying it, but just tell us. This Farmer’s Market Sale on the Square Puzzle from MasterPieces (an antique mall find) was missing two pieces. Turns out that didn’t really bother us. But, there was no indication on the (tapped shut) box. Instead, there was a note on the poster inside! So we had to buy it to find out that it was clearly missing pieces! Argh!

Still in the end we enjoyed this puzzle. But knowing ahead that there were two missing pieces would’ve saved us going back thru all the pieces twice looking for the missing edge (we do the edges first).

The Last Piece

This 750 piece puzzle did not include a poster. We did buy it used, so perhaps a newly purchased puzzle includes one. The assembled puzzle is about 24″ wide and 18″ high. The pieces fit pretty well and the image quality on the pieces is good. The colors were great and bright.

Love Is Sweet Puzzle from MasterPieces

This Love is Sweet puzzle from MasterPieces was one of the few random cut piece puzzles that we’ve done. Most puzzles we do seem to be ribbon cut, so the pieces are all fairly similar. Not with random cut, that’s for sure. The pieces are crazy. Some have all sorts of weird tabs or blanks. Actually a lot of them do. It’s challenging and fun at the same time.

Yummy Treats

What is it about puzzles with great-looking food in them? This Love is Sweet puzzle from MasterPieces is full of all sorts of colorful candies. Tasty candies. Though not overly difficult, the similar colors do make it a bit more challenging. We found the windows, though to be the most challenging. This puzzle didn’t take us long to complete but it was a joy to sit back and look at when it was done.

This puzzle included a poster. And that’s a good thing because the picture on the box front is slightly obscured by a blue awning that is not part of the final puzzle. There are 750 extra-thick cut pieces in this puzzle. The assembled puzzle is about 24″ wide and 18″ high. The artwork is very nice and colorful.

Shopkeepers Cakes and Treats Puzzle from MasterPieces

Old store puzzles are always one of our favorites. Pastry shops, candy stores, ice cream shops…. Doesn’t matter the subject, we just like the old stores. This Shopkeepers Cakes and Treats puzzle from MasterPieces was a fun puzzle with a nice old store featuring all sorts of sweets. It wasn’t a particularly difficult puzzle, though it did have its challenges.

Another Antique Mall Find

We found this Shopkeepers Cakes and Treats puzzle from MasterPieces in an antique mall in Ohio. We often find puzzles in antique malls. And we’ve had great luck always getting puzzles that aren’t missing any pieces (just one bad one so far!). Some puzzles are labelled as ‘complete’, which is always great to see. And we only buy those where the pieces are inside resealable baggies. We appreciate that the seller has taken the time (and expense) of bagging the pieces so none are easily lost when people open the boxes to examine them.
