Next! Puzzle from Buffalo Games

We had just finished a 2000 piece puzzle that took us a good bit of time. We wanted something a little less… challenging. So we grabbed this Next! Puzzle from Buffalo Games and got to sorting. It’s not that this Charles Wysocki work is super-easy. But we always find his art to be relaxing and fun, and usually, a bit easier than some of the puzzles we do. There are common elements in his puzzles. There’s always a heart. The chimneys and smoke are similar. As are the wagons, trees and many other things. But yet each puzzle is still quite different.

Buffalo Games – Charles Wysocki – Next…

Contains a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle
Finished size is 26.75 x 19.75 inches

Animal House

There’s a lot going on in the Next! Puzzle from Buffalo Games. All of the locals have brought their animals in to see the vet. Chickens. Dogs. Cows. Sheep. There are objects everywhere and that made this fun. A lot of fun. The trees are always a bit challenging, though.

Hopefully everyone stopped by Jackie’s Jams and Jellies on their way back home!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 20″ high and 27″ wide. The pieces fit really well. The image is nice and fun and the colors are great. A poster is included that is clear and easy to work from. You can never go wrong with a puzzle of Charles Wysocki’s art.

Taffy Shop Puzzle from White Mountain

It’s no surprise that the Taffy Shop Puzzle from White Mountain caught our attention as we perused the puzzle section of our local Meijer store. We were drawn in by the wonderful colors. And the vintage look of the taffy shop depicted. Never did it cross our minds how challenging it might be to complete this puzzle. So many similar colors. Would this puzzle be our downfall?

Not So Scary

This Taffy Shop Puzzle from White Mountain ended up not being so terribly challenging. Oh don’t get me wrong. It’s not a 5 minute puzzle. Not by any stretch of the imagination. But the pieces are big, and that helps. A lot. The colors, though similar in spots, are different enough from place-to-place that you don’t get frustrated. Not at all. This is one fun puzzle to work on and enjoy when completed!

The Last Piece

This 1000 piece puzzle included a poster. The pieces are cut in fun shapes that actually made them easier to put into place. It’s quite hard to put a piece in incorrectly. The colors are bright and wonderful. The assembled puzzle is about 30″ wide and 24″ high, so it’s a bit larger than our usual 1000-piece puzzles.

Yankee Wink Hollow Puzzle from Buffalo Games

I have to warn you. I’m going to say ‘wonderful’ a lot in this post. I’m sorry, I know I should look for other adjectives to describe the Yankee Wink Hollow puzzle from Buffalo Games. But ‘wonderful’ just suits it perfectly. The colors are wonderful. The imagery is wonderful. And yes, the pieces fit wonderfully! I promise I’m done with how ‘wonderful’ this is! This is Charles Wysocki at his best.

It’s Not All Wonderful

Ok, there were some difficult spots in the Yankee Wink Hollow puzzle from Buffalo Games. Challenges. Tests. There were several pieces that fit in several places with little hint that they were wrong. That’s ok. It doesn’t all have to be easy. That’s part of the journey.

The trees were the most difficult part in all. The many objects were a joy. This is a piece of art. When done, we both stood back and enjoyed it for a good long time.

It’s just a wonderful puzzle and one of our favorites of all time.

Flower Shop Puzzle from HUADADA

This puzzle ‘pops’ and then some. The Flower Shop puzzle from HUADADA is one of the most colorful puzzles we’ve ever completed. It was so much fun to assemble. We made sure to step back and enjoy the results when we were done. You don’t want to rush these things. Stop and smell the roses, as the saying goes!

A Little Help

The pieces in the Flower Shop puzzle from HUADADA have letters on the back. If you haven’t encountered that before, they’re there to help you sort the pieces. If you opt to use them, that is. You aren’t required to. You can ignore them. If you decide to use them, they divide the puzzle into four quadrants or rectangles. They don’t do the puzzle for you but they will make sorting easier if that’s your thing. We did. I admit it.

The Last Piece

This 1000 piece puzzle included a poster. A really, really big poster. It’s as brightly colored as the puzzle and almost frame-worthy. The assembled puzzle is about 28″ wide and 20″ high. The pieces fit great. The color and image quality are fantastic.

Gull’s Nest Puzzle from Buffalo Games

Puzzles of Charles Wysocki’s art always make us happy. They’re just fun to do. And fun to look at. The Gull’s Nest puzzle from Buffalo Games is another fine example of Wysocki’s great work. There are common elements in his paintings that we find in these puzzles. Like the chimneys being the same. Or the fruits in the trees. Things like that. Always little interesting things. The scenes are always pleasant, peaceful. They’re a bit challenging and a lot of joy.

Always Fun

When we were new to puzzling we started to hear about Charles Wysocki puzzles. We had no clue who he was or what the puzzles were about. Most are like this Gull’s Nest puzzle from Buffalo Games, depicting early mid-19th century times. Horse-drawn carriages. County fairs. Those sorts of things. Now we find ourselves always keeping a puzzle or two (or more) of his artwork on hand for those times when we want a (usually) easier puzzle to complete. Easy doesn’t mean less enjoyable, not at all. They’re just stress-free fun puzzling times.

The Last Piece

This 1000 piece puzzle included a poster. The assembled puzzle is about 27″ wide and 20″ high. The pieces fit fairly well and the colors were great. The original artwork is a painting that translates well to a puzzle.

Ice Cream Shop Window Puzzle from Ceaco

Whew. We made it. We finished the Ice Cream Shop Window puzzle from Ceaco. All 2000 pieces of it. Done. Completed. We sighed a sigh of relief when that last piece went in. What a wonderful puzzle to sit back and enjoy. But it was not without its challenges, that’s for sure. This one took us a while to finish. But it was oh so worth the effort!

So Much Going On

There’s a lot going on in this Ice Cream Shop Window puzzle from Ceaco. When you’re done with it you have to stand back and really look at it. Everywhere. Every inch. It’s really quite an amazing puzzle. And you’ll remember the spots that gave you ‘trouble’. Like the bricks. And the wood window and door frames.

The Last Piece

This 2000 piece puzzle included a poster. The assembled puzzle is about 38″ wide and 26″ high. The pieces fit really well and the image quality on the pieces is very good. It was fairly hard to put a piece into the wrong place. The picture (or drawing) is like a piece of art. It’s very well done and definitely not a case of ‘clip art.’ This is a challenging puzzle but one of our all-time favorites.

Surf Shack Puzzle from Buffalo Games

The Surf Shack puzzle from Buffalo Games is one of the hardest ones we’ve ever completed. The edges were the easiest part. It got tougher, much tougher, from there. So many colors. So many pieces. Objects everywhere. Small objects. Oh yes, it was worth it, but this one took us a while to complete. But, we’re not on a schedule here. We get done when we get done and we enjoy the ride as we go.

Reuse Recycle

One thing I found interesting with the Surf Shack puzzle from Buffalo Games was that some of the objects in it are re-used in other puzzles from the manufacturer. I’m not surprised but it just caught my eye. The image in this puzzle is nicely done and is high-quality. I wouldn’t call it a ‘copy and paste’ job.

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 2000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 27″ high and 39″ wide. A large poster, included, is a great help. The pieces are fairly small. They fit together well and it’s hard to get a piece in wrong. The image is crisp and bright. The final picture is worth the struggle with the many, many colors! Sorting this puzzle was a challenge!

Country Store Puzzle from Buffalo Games

I’m a big fan of puzzles like this Country Store puzzle from Buffalo Games. Give me a puzzle with old trucks, signs and lots of country-like stuff and I’m one happy puzzling guy. It didn’t hurt that the red truck in this puzzle is very similar to the one my grandfather had many, many years ago. Or that the blue truck is very similar to the one my dad had (although his was not a step-side).

A Fairly Easy Challenge

This Country Store puzzle from Buffalo Games was not terribly challenging, but there were some areas that were harder to finish than others. The sky was a bit tough. It was fun to assemble and more fun to look at. There are so many cool things in the picture to find and enjoy and the colors are amazing.

The Last Piece

This puzzle includes a very nice colorful poster. There are 1000 pieces in this puzzle. The assembled puzzle is about 27″ wide and 20″ high. The pieces are thick and fit very well and the image quality on the pieces is fantastic. The colors were great and the pieces are cut perfectly. This is a quality puzzle that brings hours of enjoyment.

Witch’s Bay Puzzle from Buffalo Games

The Witch’s Bay puzzle from Buffalo Games is a favorite of ours. It’s another great example of Charles Wysocki’s artwork. This was one of the busiest puzzles from Mr. Wysocki that we’ve done. There’s a lot going on in it. And there were a lot of challenges, too. Sometimes we find ourselves completing a Wysocki puzzle in rather short order. Not this time. The trees and the buildings (in particular some of the windows) definitely tested us.

Same. And Different.

It seems that many of the Wysocki puzzles we do have similar elements in them. There’s always a heart. The chimneys and smoke on the buildings are often the same. The carriage wheels and horses are kinda the same. We often find things that are common between the puzzles. This Witch’s Bay puzzle from Buffalo Games has those common things but I assure you that doesn’t mean the puzzles are all the same. Each has its challenges. And all are rewarding in the end.

The Last Piece

This is a 1000 piece puzzle. It includes a very colorful, large poster. The assembled puzzle is about 30″ wide and 24″ high. The pieces fit well and the image quality on the pieces is good. The colors were great and bright. This puzzle was fun to assemble and even more fun to sit back and enjoy. This is another great puzzle of Charles Wysocki’s artwork.

Holiday Village Square Puzzle from Vermont Christmas Company

Whew. I gotta admit it, I’m kinda glad my wife did most of the heavy lifting putting together this Holiday Village Square puzzle from Vermont Christmas Company. I found it to be quite difficult. So, I just did the sky. She took on the buildings and her favorite, the Christmas trees. In the end we both stepped back and enjoyed the final result and I breathed a breath of relief! The colors and imagery were amazing!

A Wonderful Holiday Puzzle

This Holiday Village Square puzzle from Vermont Christmas Company would make for a great gift. It’s a wonderful picture. It’s a happy picture. And even though it’s snowing and icy in the picture, it feels warm. This would be an excellent way to pass a cold fall or winter’s day. Well, days really because it’s not that easy!
