The Heart of Ukraine - Trefl - 1000
Picked up this beautiful puzzle on clearance from Amazon. The only downside to it is there wasn't great variation in the puzzle pieces. So in solid colors it was slightly tedious finding the pieces that actually belonged together

Montmartre, 1500 pieces, Clementoni
Really nice one to do, though some pieces weren't properly cut but it was fine. Interesting sections to work on, not too much similarity.

Fence Post Birds : Briarwood Lane : 1000 Pieces
I found this on a bargain bin for $0.99 (US) at a nearby outlet store, pretty good quality for less than $1.00 (new)

Sleeping Beauty - Ceaco -1000 pcs
This is part of the Silver Select Edition, made in China for Buffalo games. It is identical to Buffalo Games puzzles in cut, quality and boxing. I think Buffalo bought Ceaco in 2020.
-
Farmers Market - Goliath - 1000 pieces
Loose, poor fitting puzzle, needed to redo several sections (became very frustrating)
-
Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas - Prime 3D - 500
It was hard to capture a good picture of this one. It's very glossy. This was the first holographic puzzle I've done. The plastic the the hologram is printed on made it difficult to snap the pieces together.

Personalised Puzzle - Wentworth Wooden Puzzles - 500
!!!I was the best man in my friend's wedding, and he gave me this puzzle as a gift. The puzzle is a "surprise". There's no reference image which was a little intimidating when I saw all the grass. The pieces are random cut and the corner pieces are formed by joining two edge pieces. It was only 500 pieces though, so not much of a challenge The puzzle quality is very high. The pieces are made of wood and about 3mm thick. The image on the puzzle is of my old dog. She past away about five years ago. She was there for me through some very difficult times and meant the world to me.

Virginia's Nest : Buffalo : 1000 pieces (This was finished 2 days ago, was too busy to post)
If I had known the Americana style puzzle supply would dry up at the local thrift shops, I would have kept more than I did for our personal collection. Americana puzzles are probably my favorite, and both Charley Wysocki and his brother Heronim created a lot of Americana artwork.

Artist's Studio - Ravensburger - 759
I can't post the picture of this one because it's different from the box image, and it would be a spoiler for anyone wanting to do it. This was my first escape room puzzle. There are a bunch of hidden clues that create six puzzles. The solutions to the six puzzles reveals a final puzzle. It was way harder than any escape room I've done. I solved three of the six puzzles then decided I wanted to do something else. It was fun.

Popsicles - Galison - 500 pieces ( this is part of our personal collection)
I finished this off last night, it is very relaxing, well made and easy to see and do.
-
Bear Creek Depot - Bits And Pieces - 500 pieces
Found this at a nearby thrift shop for $.99 (US) very good condition, nice puzzle.
-
I Love Vermont - White Mountain - 1000
The picture is pretty outdated (RIP Magic Hat and Vermont Peanut Butter), but it was a very easy and addicting puzzle. Great quality pieces.
-
Drive In Date Night : RoseArt : 1000 Pieces : "Back To The Past"
I could not resist this when Target had it on sale with 20% off, about $7.63 (US). The last time my wife and I went to a Drive In was many years ago, it was a little secluded with woods all around. The next morning we were covered with bug bites, bug bites everywhere.

"A friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep. Welcome to Night Vale."

Antique Shoppe : White Mountain : 1000 pieces
This is not the first time for this puzzle, it's a bit worn but I keep it because I like it
-
Delivering A Classic - Springbok - 1000 pieces
This is part of our personal collection, do it about 1 time a year
-
T-Rex Terror - Ravensburger - 35
Did this one with my daughter. She's definitely starting to get it.
-
Farm - Sure Lox - 1000
The image would have made this puzzle very challenging if it weren't for the pattern of the pieces. All the pieces alternated between one of two shapes - knobs on the top and bottom with holes on the sides; and holes on the top and bottom with knobs on the side.
It's kinda hard to see when it's assembled, but most of the pieces looked the same when they didn't have surrounding pieces to build the image.
Aside from that, the pieces were small and flimsy.

Country Meadow : Buffalo : 300 Large pieces
This is part of our personal collection, well made, easy to see with big pieces. Great for anyone with limited eyesight and or dexterity. However not much of a challenge for those with a lot of experience doing puzzles. I ran out of "new to me" puzzles and this helped fill the void.
