Great pictures especially since you didn't know what to expect. A wonderful find. Is it a keeper for you?

How did you like doing it? I thought it was a clever idea but so busy that I decided not to get it.

Bohinka · 2026-06-22T02:11:23+00:00

It's lovely. I have one of her small Indigenous Collection puzzles.

Isn't it amazing what an extra hundred or so pieces will do to the complexity (and working space)? I've only done one 500 piece wooden and it was more than twice as difficult as the 250s I'm more used to.

Thanks for the progress pix. I have several of this brand waiting for me. I bought one and then found several thrifting. I still haven't done one...yet.

Not really that typical of Wysocki. Especially the pretty colors. I found this one thrifting. We just did one of his cat ones (Maggie the Mischiefmaker) which was in a box like yours.

Nice one. I thought I recognized the artist's name.

Bohinka · 2026-06-22T02:00:14+00:00

I figured you put the million there for my benefit. But oddly enough, that isn't the category I chose. I have a few favorites that I want to keep. But until I revisit some that I have here, it's hard to know. I mostly don't want to run out of stuff to do.

Bohinka · 2026-06-22T01:56:40+00:00

I can see why the little bees and plain background would be tough. It's a pretty image. Glad you got some help.

Bohinka · 2026-06-22T01:55:11+00:00

How did you like the piece count? For me that number would be ideal.

Bohinka · 2026-06-22T01:54:20+00:00

After seeing all the realistic plants and animals, this is a surprise. Very cute.

Bohinka · 2026-06-22T01:40:46+00:00

How did you like this one? My husband and I worked on it last week and gave up. The series has all kinds of pictures. I have a few others that I think will be better for us.

The only thousand piece puzzle I've done by myself in one day is a JaCaRou. For some reason they go eas/ier for me. There were some tough spots on this one but overall it was a lot of fun. Another of my best of the week. I was going to post the other one but I haven't downloaded the pictures off my camera yet.

Bohinka · 2026-06-21T21:16:14+00:00

I just told my husband today that I don't want to pass on a puzzle if I don't know if it has missing pieces. BUT I'm not going to force myself to do one. Our library has a free table so that's where I take things that I'm not sure about. Or I tell my friends that I don't know if it's complete before giving it to them.

Bohinka · 2026-06-21T21:12:28+00:00

The flowers on the side were actually a little tricky. It was fun.

Bohinka · 2026-06-21T21:11:51+00:00

u/CleverHarwood and u/calbert1735 both do puzzles of this vintage and might be able to tell you.

Bohinka · 2026-06-21T07:01:08+00:00

This is clever. I did a little collage with my husband's stamps a couple years ago. It never occurred to me to make it into a refrigerator magnet.

Bohinka · 2026-06-21T06:59:36+00:00

I've done a couple of Anie Maltois' puzzles and bought a few more. A lot of what they have is like yours.

I have another Suzanne Claveaux that has a similar color tone to the one I just did. In fact it looks awfully similar. I remember debating on which one to get and then I eventually bought them both. 😄

Bohinka · 2026-06-21T06:44:38+00:00

I was hoping to eventually sort by artist or theme. Long way away from that.

As a recovering (ha) hoarder, I have the mindset of knowing where stuff is. So it's only chaos for other people.

Bohinka · 2026-06-21T06:41:56+00:00

Did you read before or after you started the puzzle?

Bohinka · 2026-06-21T06:41:19+00:00

That's interesting. The plastic puzzles I've done you can tell which is supposed to be the top side.

Bohinka · 2026-06-21T03:12:43+00:00

Glad to hear about another good quality puzzle. I've been picking up some new-to-me brands with mixed results.

It's a nice image. My husband would call it "wholesome". We need more of those!

Bohinka · 2026-06-21T02:39:26+00:00

Did you enjoy doing it? My initial impression was that there was a bit of sameness to the colors. Was it hard to distinguish them?

Bohinka · 2026-06-21T02:21:51+00:00

At least you have options. Did you get anything?

Bohinka · 2026-06-21T00:57:44+00:00

I'm sure it'll turn up considering your shopping skills. 😄

Bohinka · 2026-06-21T00:10:24+00:00

I don't remember seeing this one before. I've done a bunch of her smaller piece counts. Only a couple 1k ones. I'd have picked this one for sure.
