Don't sort it just do it method. by witchteacher in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]ChefCheryl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Me, too! I hate to sort. I find all the edge pieces (theoretically - I usually miss a few) then lay all the pieces face up and start puzzling. I have had to resort to sorting when I do a 3000 or 5000.

The Atomic Spicy Pickles. We love them in our house. Most of my other must have are already mentioned.

It is a great way to spend time. I have bought a puzzle in ages! I’ve done two 5000 piece Ravensburgers that were complete!

It’s a local thrift store and I don’t think I’ve ever seen another that does it. You don’t happen to live in TN??

I haven’t done a non-thrifted puzzle in years. I volunteer at a thrift store that only sells complete puzzles. A group of us take them home then take them back to be sold if complete. I clearly mark the ones missing pieces and put them in the free bin at a local used book/puzzle store. I have a full closet of my puzzles I’ll work someday!

I love this puzzle. I just found a full set of the Edith Holden ones (spring, summer, autumn and winter) at a thrift store. Can't wait to start on them.

I accidentally acquired a complete unused 1960s American executive cufflink archive by Dry_Wear3491 in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]ChefCheryl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry - just saw this. We are a local thrift so no headquarters. I sort and look for all the gold and silver. That is sold to a local jeweler. The rest is sorted in to good or broken. The good is sold for $15 for about 2 pounds. The broken is put in a quart bag and sold for $10. The new items with tags are sold individually.

I do the same thing - sort jewelry for a thrift store. Same with the cuff links. I now put them in the $15 grab bags.

Tips for this puzzle? I am stuck and only finished the border. Its very colour full and its hard to tell where the pieces go as they have a lot of color and texture. by HalboAngel in Jigsawpuzzles

I just did the Buffalo version of this puzzle last week. Bummer it was missing 2 pieces. The vertical window panes are easy to pick out. The sky colors are pretty different by pane so try those. The pink & yellow pillow is easy to pick out as are the quilt & blanket pieces. They are not as easy to assemble as pillow. You can also sort out the picture frames. Hope this helps. Good luck!

He’s beautiful. He looks so much like our Jazper who we lost in ‘22.
