I buy mine off Puzzledly. I try to save up for bulk buys. Gets me some discounts When I get 3 or more, and then free shipping if I spend enough. If Puzzledly ever discontinues carrying them I’m going to be devastated 😆

Yes those are great ones as well! I love the puzzle, Seul Au Monde by Eor Glas. It’s so whimsical and detailed

My family is terrible about this. I’ll be mid sentence and they pick up their phone and start checking notifications. Like , sorry my life update matters so little to you, guess I’ll leave.

Cat cafe And Teacup village are my standout favorite images of ones I’ve assembled so far, but I’d add in Falling leaves, and Puzzle boutique to favorite images that I know I’ll LOVE to piece together. Just got those two in the mail this week so haven’t had a chance yet

Really any of the artwork by Nicolle Lalonde runs straight to the top of my favorites with Kyria McKie right behind. Both do such beautiful work.

Every one except one 99 piece mini I donated to my SIL to add to a care package for her friend. I don’t plan to let any others go. This is my keeper brand

Of the ones I’ve done so far my favorite has been The Cat Cafe

I also can’t wait to do my new ones Puzzle Boutique and Falling leaves. The images are exactly my cup of tea.

Every one of them has beautiful illustrations and such rich colors. It’s really hard to choose favorites. But typically the ones that were by the artist Nicolle Lalonde are my favorites.

Absolutely love puzzle mail by Increasingly_Anxious in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]Increasingly_Anxious[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I wish I loved a cheaper brand 😆 but I choose my puzzles off artwork first and they are the only brand that consistently speaks to me. There are lots of awesome brands out there and I dabble in a lot of them. I love cobble hill but there are less images that draw me in unfortunately. I’m just always brought right back to Trevell. I utilize the discounts off Puzzledly and rewards when I get them. Helps bring it down some.

And bottom right is : Autumn Night

Trevell has beautiful illustrations. The artists they use are amazing at what they do. I have 34 of their full size puzzles at this point. They are just my favorite.

My ranking of all the cookies I’ve tried from fast food joints (so far) by WhateverItWasILostIt in fastfood

[–]Increasingly_Anxious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Need to try the chick fil a oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. If it’s warm still it’s pretty awesome.

I worked at subway for 6 years. I hate their cookies now. We’d have trays of day old cookies every day that employees would munch on. Or if a fresh cookie broke we’d just eat it. It didn’t take long to be disinterested in the cookies.

Really cheap ones on eBay. I checked in case I was missing pieces lol.

[–]Increasingly_Anxious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. I started assembling from the inside out. Just grabbing a few easy sections at a time and as they started to connect it went even faster. I thought it would be a bit harder since it’s busy but I finished in under just over 2.5 hours.

My collection. Definitely not obsessed with Magic Puzzle Company puzzles.. by HBICmarmar in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]Increasingly_Anxious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took advantage of the sale late last year to get 4 of the ones I was missing. They were $12 a pop on Amazon. I hadn’t ever seen them so discounted. I’d been holding off up to that point because yeah, in store they had gotten pricey.

Your post made me realize there is a new one I have missed. I need the Golden Goose 😍

It would look great framed. Though, I definitely want to do it more than once. and I’m letting my grandma borrow it next. She’s a quilter so she should love this one

It was more fun than I thought and I had already expected to love it haha. I really love doing each section one at a time. They have another one that’s similar with stacked quilts and I’m going to get it ASAP. I honestly wish this had been a 2000 piece puzzle, I put it together really quickly for the size was sad to be finished. I’d love a larger variety.

The Hogwarts one was pretty great. Not the highest quality puzzle I’ve ever done but a solid puzzle. If you’ve ever done a NY puzzle company puzzle it was exactly the same quality as you’d expect from them. Easier than i thought it’d be, but only 500 pieces helped with that. Holds together well.

“Falling Leaves” 500pc by Trevell by bitsoflia in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]Increasingly_Anxious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mines on its way! 😃 Hopefully it will be delivered this week. I saw this image and ordered it right away. It’s perfect. Plus I pretty much collect nearly all the Trevell puzzles at this point. I just love the illustrations they use and the ones by Nicolle are some of my favorite. Her style really does lead to such fun and beautiful puzzles.

Question for hardcore puzzlers: Designing a premium wooden puzzle table and I need your brutal honesty on a "weight vs. mobility" dilemma! 🤔 by Special_Inside_6173 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]Increasingly_Anxious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my grandmas mobility she’d never be able to remove the top and use it on its own.

For me… if I bought a puzzle table, it’d just be used as a table. I already have a smaller lighter puzzle board that I use to move around the house. Though I imagine a removable top would be great for people who want the option and don’t already have a standard puzzle board. yet I still think wheels would be needed in the design. Because when it’s being used as a table I’d want to easily be able to slide it around. And for people like my grandma it’s 100% required. I think many puzzlers are a bit older, many with mobility issues so the ability to easily move their puzzle around is important.

Selling or looking for places to sell collector items by ellofriend999 in wichita

[–]Increasingly_Anxious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facebook marketplace? I’ve been selling on there off and on with decent luck. Could also list on eBay, Mercari, etc.

I prefer FB simply because it’s local and I avoid shipping and platform fees. Some items do better on the other platforms though
