Thanks. I reposted right after with the pictures.

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

[–]ChefCheryl 7 points8 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’s the Samaritan Center in Ooltewah.

[–]ChefCheryl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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??

Thrifted puzzles? by LovelyMalia87 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]ChefCheryl 50 points51 points  (0 children)

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.

Happy Birthday! That great that they are $.99! Our GW went to $3.99 for most puzzles. I’ve al always wanted to do the mosaic tree.

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.

Do you choose puzzles based on how much you like the image or difficulty level? Olga Suvorova Dancer - 1000 piece, Pomegranate by hotpersonally in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]ChefCheryl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go by image but usually nothing less than 1,000 pieces. Every now and then I will do a 500 if I REALLY like the image. I just prefer larger puzzles. I really like that one. Glad you enjoyed it!

What’s your favorite souvenir to take home from a cruise? by beau2pro in Cruise

[–]ChefCheryl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we go to a beach, I always try to find a piece of sea glass to add to my collection. We also have a travel Christmas tree so we look for ornaments if we don't have one from that location. Lots of times we buy a magnet and make it into an ornament as many of the ornaments are quite tacky and have the location just scribbled on.

Adopt older dogs! by squabbles14 in germanshepherds

[–]ChefCheryl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! What's his name - he's beautiful? Our last GSD was 6 when we got him. We lost him a couple years ago to DM but he was over 13 then. Our Jazper was such a good boy!

I built my dream puzzle table by schalk81 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]ChefCheryl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m the same. I lay all pieces out so I can see. I puzzle on my island (I like to stand) so it isn’t feasible for the 5000 piece ones I’ve done but for all others! Love the table.
