50s Starlite Diner Puzzle from Bits and Pieces

Although we typically do larger puzzles, with 1000 or more pieces, we are always open to any puzzle if we like the design. This 50s Starlite Diner puzzle from Bits and Pieces caught our eye as we were perusing the puzzle shelves at our local Hobby Lobby. The puzzle captures a 1950s scene outside a neon -lit diner. Cool cars, classic drive-in food and the outfits people are wearing were all we needed. And although it took us very little time to assemble, this is one of our favorite puzzles.

Cool Cars. Cool Pieces.

If you zoom in you’ll see how fun the pieces in the 50s Starlite Diner puzzle from Bits and Pieces are. They are quite whimsical and random. They really add to the enjoyment of this puzzle. Between the piece cuts and the imagery, this is one to enjoy.

As an aside, you’ll almost always find puzzles like this one on sale at Hobby Lobby!

The Last Piece

This 500 piece puzzle did not include a poster. The assembled puzzle is about 18″ wide and 24″ high. The pieces fit very well and the image quality on the pieces is good. The pieces are cut into really interesting sizes and angles, making them rather fun to put together. And it’s almost impossible to put a piece into the wrong place. The colors were great and bright.

Birch Point Cove Puzzle from Buffalo Games

We had just completed a really, really challenging puzzle. It took us days and days to complete. That’s ok, we’re not in a hurry. But boy did we need a little bit of an ‘easy break’. So we grabbed this Birch Point Cove Puzzle from Buffalo Games off of our to-do pile and got to it.

This is another of Charles Wysocki’s great works. We always find puzzles of his art to be rather relaxing. Challenging in spots too, but they are always an enjoyable experience.

Such A Pleasant Scene

You can almost hear the birds in the tree while you’re working on this puzzle. As with all of Wysocki’s work (or at least the puzzles of his art that we’ve done so far), the scene is very soothing. The Birch Point Cove puzzle from Buffalo Games was a great experience. We sure enjoyed it.

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, so the imagery on the pieces isn’t as crisp as you’d find on a puzzle drawn on a computer.

Main Street Bakery Puzzle from RoseArt

Boy, was this Main Street Bakery Puzzle from RoseArt ever a challenging one for us. First it was big, a whopping 2000 pieces. We don’t do many of those. They tie up a good part of our large dining room table for days. Second, the pieces were small. And last, there were so many similar colors throughout the puzzle, making it difficult to match them up. From a challenging standpoint this was a great puzzle. And the final result so popped with color that the extra time it took to put together was more than worth it.

The Mysterious Extra Piece

Our Main Street Bakery Puzzle from RoseArt came with an extra piece! We’ve never had that happen. Sure, we’ve had missing pieces with used puzzles. But never have we had a duplicate piece in a new puzzle! You can see the extra piece to the right of the picture.

Quality. Not So much.

We both struggled continuously with the pieces to this puzzle not staying together. It was impossible to try and remove a wrong piece without taking several pieces with it. It was a real frustrating challenge to move completed sections together. We both complained a few times about it. But in the end the puzzle came together great and we were very happy with the resulting colors and image.

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 2000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 26″ high and 38″ wide. There is no poster included. The pieces are small and do not fit as well as we like. The image is crisp and bright. The final picture is worth the struggling with the ill-fitting pieces.

Beach Fun Puzzle from White Mountain

This Beach Fun puzzle from White Mountain was a bit different for us. Usually, the puzzles we buy and assemble have very sharp, defined colors and edges. Many, we suspect, are designed on computers. Some come from paintings, but border on being almost mechanical in their detail and accuracy and sharpness. Not this one. This is more like a painting. The edges are a bit softer. Mellower.

Busy Beach Time

The image in this Beach Fun puzzle from White Mountain is busy. There’s lots of ‘stuff’ to be found. And challenging spots all over. The softer images make it even more challenging, a little harder to tell which pieces go where. The beach and sand were tough. As was the water and sky. The objects found all over were a bit easier. This was a fun puzzle to do.

The Last Piece

This 1500 piece puzzle included a very colorful, nice poster. The assembled puzzle is about 32″ wide and 24″ high. The pieces are nice and large and fit together very well. There is a small poster included.

Cabin Porch Puzzle from Cobble Hill

It was a long, hard road for us. Getting to the end of this Cabin Porch puzzle from Cobble Hill was challenging. We got this puzzle from a neighbor in a trade for some of our completed puzzles. The picture got our attention so we had to get it. Right out of the gate, just sorting the pieces had its moments.

  • High Quality Jigsaw puzzle
  • 1000 piece puzzle

Does This Go There?

Some of the pieces in this Cabin Porch puzzle from Cobble Hill like to fit in more than one place. Right off the bat, I got the border wrong in several places. Things went downhill from there. The chair was tough. The floor was tough. But the dark cabin ceiling was the hardest part. The colors are barely discernable. There was a lot of “try this” going on. But we got there. Well sorta…

The Dreaded Missing Piece

This puzzle ended up minus one piece. Right in the middle of the dog, too! Doesn’t it figure? We actually had two missing pieces for a while. We looked and we looked. All over the room. Under everything. Then finally… there it was! At the other end of the dining room table. So, just one missing piece in the end.

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 19″ wide and 27″ high (the image is portrait oriented). There was no poster included, but our puzzle was used so perhaps a new one includes a poster. The pieces are fairly big and thick and fit really well. They are cut in many different ways, making it even more challenging.

Vintage Knitting Puzzle from Buffalo Games

Artist Aimee Stewart always delivers on at least two things when she creates images for puzzles. First, color. Lots of color. Great color. Amazing color. Second, nostalgia. Many of her puzzles into little things that flash you back to your childhood. This Vintage Knitting puzzle from Buffalo Games is another example of just how great Ms. Stewart’s works are. Her use of color not only catches your eye, it can make for some challenging spots in the puzzle. And as we’ve come to expect, the images are wonderful.

A Great Gift For Knitters

It’s an enjoyable puzzle even if I don’t know a yarn skein from a thimble! No matter who is putting it together, they’ll enjoy hours of great, quality puzzling fun and that’s what it’s all about!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 27″ wide and 20″ high. The pieces fit well together. The image is amazingly bright and colorful. It’s difficult in spots due to similar colors and textures throughout. In the end this is a great puzzle to sit back and enjoy!

Blanket Fort 1979 Puzzle from Buffalo Games

This Blanket Fort 1979 puzzle from Buffalo Games is one of Aimee Stewart’s most colorful works. And as with many of her works, there’s a lot going on. Lots of things that flash me back to the 70s. Flashback to days building blanket forts in the living room while watching Saturday morning cartoons. Although there’s nothing cartoony about this puzzle, there are tons of cool 70s things to be found. Too many to even start to list. They sure do add to the fun of putting this masterpiece together!

Hide and Seek

This puzzle is kind of a like a game of hide and seek. Or a treasure hunt. There are objects galore in this Blanket Fort 1979 puzzle from Buffalo Games. My wife particularly enjoyed this vintage bowl. As a collector of old dishes, finding it made her smile! It’s just another thing that makes this puzzle a joy.

It’s Not All Fun And Games

Sure, it was a pleasure to step back after the last piece went into this puzzle and enjoy the colors and the objects. But getting to that moment was challenging at times. The colors in this puzzle are a treat but they make parts of the puzzle difficult. A fun difficult, though.

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 brightly-colored pieces. The final puzzle is about 20″ high and 27″ wide. There is a small poster included in the box. The pieces fit really well. The image is crisp and bright. This is a great, quality puzzle!

Donut Delight Puzzle from Cross and Glory

What is it that draws us to puzzles that have pictures of food on them? Why do we put ourselves through it? “Oh, I want to work on a puzzle for hours and hours that makes me hungry.” And donuts? Could it be even more self-punishing? This Donut Delight puzzle from Cross and Glory made us hungry. But boy, did it come out great looking in the end. This was a fun (and challenging) puzzle. Despite making our stomachs growl.

Done With The Donuts

Several of the donuts in this puzzle are similar in color. And pattern. That made it quite challenging in spots. So did the dark gaps between them. Even still, we recommend this Donut Delight puzzle from Cross and Glory. Just don’t work on it while you’re hungry. You’ll end up at Dunkin’ Donuts!

I could not find a link to this puzzle online so I do not know if it’s still available for purchase. Their macaron puzzle looks just as great!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 20″ high and 27″ wide. The pieces are large and thick and fit really well. The image is crisp and bright and the colors are fantastic. There is a poster included that is clear and easy to work from. This is a great challenging puzzle!

Flowers and Flyers Puzzle from Buffalo Games

We traded with a couple in our neighborhood for this Flowers and Flyers puzzle from Buffalo Games. It instantly caught our attention. How could it not? The amazing colors jumped right off of the box. Although we knew it would be a challenging puzzle, we could not resist. So we grabbed it and ran. Well, walked.

A Slow Start

Right out of the gates progress was a little slow on this Flowers and Flyers puzzle from Buffalo games. As the official ‘Edge Guy’ I found myself making several mistakes along the sides, putting pieces in the wrong places. They fit, but they were wrong. And it was challenging to find the wrong ones, too. But perseverance paid off.

Tackling the flowers was too overwhelming at first. So we concentrated on the butterflies and the vertical lines separating the ‘columns’ of plants. Those lines proved challenging too, but at least the colors were easy to identify.

In the end we had an amazingly colorful puzzle that we could step back and enjoy. If we glued and framed puzzles, this would be the first one we would do. It’s like art.

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 crisp and bright and the colors are fantastic. There is a poster included that is clear and easy to work from. This is a great challenging puzzle!

Family Vacation Puzzle from Buffalo Games

Back in the day we had what were called ‘clip-art’ CDs. You could buy a CD chock full of drawings, from animals to planes to trees. Anything you could imagine you could find on a clip-art CD. This Family Vacation puzzle from Buffalo Games reminded me of a clip-art CD. It literally has 100s and 100s of elements in it. Bicycles, radios, skates, fishing lures, you name it. Anything you can think of, chances are it’s in there somewhere.

Aimee Stewart

We are both huge Aimee Stewart puzzle fans. You know you’re always in for a bit of a challenge when you make one of her designs. And you know you’re going to have frame-worthy results that pop with tons of color and fun. This Family Vacation puzzle from Buffalo Games is no exception. Though it definitely has its challenging spots (I seriously thought I’d never finish the pieces that make up the car), it’s not frustrating.

Buffalo. And Ravensburger?

When we purchased this puzzle it came from Buffalo Games, a trusted name in puzzling. But now when I look online it’s available from Ravensburger, another trusted name in puzzling. I can only say the Buffalo version was great but given our great experience with other puzzles from Ravensburger, I’m willing to bet that their version is just as fantastic!

Our Buffalo (which we picked up at an antique mall) has 2000 pieces while the Ravensburger one contains 1000 pieces.

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 2000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 26″ high and 38″ wide. There is a poster included, thankfully. The pieces are small but thick and fit really well. The image is crisp and bright. This is an enjoyable, quality puzzle!
