The Artist portrays the vintage old school images of a much simpler life. These would be traditional Christmas images often found on Christmas cards. One credit I have to give Bits and Pieces, they sure know how to create awesome shaped puzzles however the drawback is the shipping price so it pays to shop around to see if you can locate it elsewhere.

Village Wreath Jigsaw Puzzle Assembly...

I did my usual sorting routine.

  1. Sorting to locate all  the outside border pieces, while....
  2. Placing the pieces into the 'general-color' layout onto the Grateful House puzzle trays. These trays are 14" x 10" in a pack of 8. I can layout all the pieces easily IF I use the lid for the edge pieces. This example is using the Cobble Hill Brand puzzle at 1000 pieces and puzzle Size is 26.625" x 19.25".

As you can see in the above, left photo, I lamely attempted the border. I know better than to do that with these shaped puzzles but it can't hurt to get it started. From there I assembled little clusters of images starting with the church and buildings.

The big red bow was kinda tricky due the the red ribbon laced through the wreath but it was the greens and the border, that was most testy.

The Village Wreath jigsaw puzzle was put on my wish list the second I saw it so once I received a gift card for Christmas last year I purchased it instantly.

When this puzzle is assembled it is quite colourful and very impressive. Highly recommended! It is available to buy at Bits and Pieces but you should shop around for the best shipping prices. 

I have also had the pleasure of assembling the Horse Show which also is a shaped jigsaw puzzle by Bits and Pieces at 550 pieces.  It's 20" x 24" by Barbara Gibson. Love it!
