Vintage Main Street Puzzle Assembly

I have switched up from using foam boards for sorting. Since I have

established that the Grateful House jigsaw puzzling trays can hold a

1000 piece puzzle laid out, (using the lid for the border pieces) I find it

convenient to layout my sorting process as shown in the images. I set up the 8 trays plus the lid and the box of puzzle pieces in the centre to sort according to colours or details. I do the border on my foam board working area first so I can put the lid on the trays for movement.

Using the Poster to assist with the border, it assembled quite quickly. The upper sky and the road on the bottom were fairly easy to distinguish. Then the radish colour along the left side, made the right side easy to arrange the pieces into those directions.

I started off with the light soft greens and the bigger store names to help identify areas that could be easily be assembled. The sun and Santa was a given ;)

I continued to gather little pockets of color to put clusters of details together. There was enough detail to get about two-thirds of the puzzle assembled which left the tricky areas being the two vehicles. They were done last but they were not too difficult once I looked closer at the details.

Vintage Main Street Puzzle Comments

I seemed to get through this one faster than I thought I might. I really do LOVE assembling Christmas jigsaw puzzles and have several completed by different Brands. One of my most favourite Christmas puzzles is by Cobble Hill puzzles too and it's titled Holiday Candy (see below) - it sure was challenging to assemble and I do put it on my wall every Christmas as a form of decorations. 

I am very lucky to review jigsaw puzzles for Cobble Hill so imagine how happy I was to have the opportunity to assemble the Christmas Camper by Diane Dempsey too. You can see my review here.

I also want to mention how nice the matte finish is on the Cobble Hill puzzles. They are non glare images and they feel so nice when my hands do the 'once-over' upon completion of the puzzles. You can see the nice random cut and quality in the close up images below.

Brand: Cobble Hill Puzzle Company, Title: Catching Santa Puzzle, Pieces: 350 large size , Size: 26.625" x 19.25". The Catching Santa puzzle has Family Pieces which means the pieces are 'graduated' from extra large pieces to medium size pieces to regular adult size pieces.  This makes for a delightful experience for a family to assemble the puzzle together.

Brand: Cobble Hill Puzzle Company, Title:  Christmas Campers Puzzle, Artist: Diane Dempsey, Pieces: 1000, Size:  48.9 x 67.6cm or 19.25 x 26.625″.  Once the majority of the greens were assembled I moved over to the reds on the campers and car. Little details like the tires and Christmas lights were easier to put into place. That basically left the different shades of the snow but the patches were not huge so it went well.

Brand: Unknown, Title: Christmas Scene Jigsaw Puzzle, Pieces: 1000, Size: 20" x 30". The 8 images in the article share some closeup scenes of some lovely Christmas activity which was delightful to see and the highlight of the puzzle experience. Christmas Scene Jigsaw Puzzle

Brand: Eurographics Advent Calendar Puzzle, Title: Santa Stars (named by us), December Twenty-four, Size: 5" x 5". Turns out the Santa Stars were a little on the tricky side with those 'beady' little eyes. Santa for sure will love them especially the cherries on top for the nose - great idea!

Brand: Springbok Lazy Creek puzzle, Title: Lazy Creek Country Store, Artist: Dona Gelsinger, Pieces: 1000 (Board  size ALERT), Size: 24" x 30" or 61cm x 76.2cm. I assembled the tires, the store signs and the snowman first. Next I focused on the building and defined the snowy trees on the left side from the right side. The snow along the bottom is blended with the white in the sky. Lazy Creek puzzle

Brand: Eurographics, Title: Christmas Stories, Artist: Paul Normand, Size: 19.25"  x  27" Extra Large pieces, Pieces: 300. The second I saw this image I knew I HAD to have it in my Christmas collection. The Artist has combined many Christmas stories into one magical image. The only story that I am unfamiliar with is the fishing story....I do not have a clue about it. Maybe someone can tell me.  I can highly recommended the Christmas Stories jigsaw puzzle for families to assemble together as they discover the different magical Christmas stories while assembling this beauty!

Brand: White Mountain, Title: Christmas House, Artist: Steve Crisp, Pieces: 1000, Size: 24" x 30". I have shared closeup photos of each room that shows what a very traditional family Christmas could look like and many of the details are familiar to us. I love an image that tells us that kinda story. The Christmas House jigsaw puzzle has many versions however I like this one the most as Santa is (traditionally) on the roof AND it was sent to me by a very special Puzzle Fairy!

Brand: FX Schmid, Title: Santa's Toy Shop, Artist:  Simon Treadwell, Size: 27.5 x 20" (70x50cm) Pieces: 1000 pieces.

The artwork by Simon Treadwell is very colorful  and traditional making it totally attractive. Santa's Toy Shop jigsaw puzzle

Brand: WHSmith Limited Edition Panoramic, Title: Christmas Town, Size: 38.5x13.5" or 98x34cm Pieces: 1000 pieces. I was very pleased with this gift that was sent from my Puzzle Friend in Scotland at the end of last year. It was a pleasure to assemble and the experience was enjoyable. The completed image with the gold foil is seen much better than captured on the photos.

Brand: Springbok No. XZL3443, Title: Christmas Keepsake, Photos: Styled by Kim Warner,  photo by Steve Wilson, Size: 18 x 23.5", Pieces: 500 pieces. There are 8 very lovely images below that share close up photos of the delightful ornaments, most of which look vintage. Springbok has a whole series of the Keepsake Christmas puzzles and this is the 2nd one I located at the Thrift store - both did not have the Ornament that actually comes with the box when purchased new....not that I expected it too ;)  Keepsake Christmas puzzle

Brand: Bits & Pieces, Title: Festive Ornaments Kit: Included frames and glue, Pieces: 6 mini puzzles of 15 pieces, Size: 3" round. The 6 ornament puzzles come in individual bags. Once all 6 Christmas Ornament jigsaw puzzles were assembled I placed the round-cut-pattern-glue-disc onto the back of the completed puzzles. Then you can easily drop the puzzle-ornaments into the plastic gold frame and then place the other cardboard round discs into the back of the frame. They do set into the frame very nice and secure.  As an added feature, I stuck Christmas stickers onto the back of each ornament - those Christmas stickers did NOT come with the kit.

Brand: Springbok, Title: Sparkling Tree, Size: 24" x 30" or 60.9 x 76.2cm, Pieces: 500 pieces. This one has a foil type glitter upon the surface to make it look extra fun.   There are more details and closeup photos in the article plus 140 Christmas jigsaw puzzles to view.  Sparkling Tree Puzzle 

Brand: Bits & Pieces, Title: The Village Wreath, By: Rosiland Solomon, Pieces: 750, Size: 24.6" x 25" or 62 x 63.5cm. The Village Wreath shaped jigsaw puzzle was put on my wish list the second I saw it so once I received a gift card for Christmas last year I purchased it instantly.  When this puzzle is assembled it is quite colourful and very impressive. Highly recommended! It is available to buy at Bits and Pieces but you should shop around for the best shipping prices. Village Wreath jigsaw puzzle 

Brand: Marks and Spencer, Title: Santa Surprise, Size: 30x21cm or 12.2 x 8.2", Pieces: 150 pieces. In my one work-in-progress you can see I am working the pieces according to the poster that is included due to all the similar Santas. Santa Surprise jigsaw puzzle 

Brand: Eurographics, Title: Sweet Christmas, Size: 19.25"  x  27", Pieces: 1000. I started with a few of the main colorful items as in the Gingerbread House, Candy Canes, Donuts and pink cookies. Then I completed all the large red text and red border decor at the top and bottom. After that it was a matter of picking a delicious treat and locating the colors that matched up. There was not a lot of white space between the treats so that was not even an issue.  Sweet Christmas Jigsaw Puzzle  

Brand: Disney, Title: no title, Size: 12.2 x 8.2", Pieces: 500 pieces, 2 missing. I was pleased to do this delightful little quick fix Mickey and Minnie jigsaw puzzle. It shows on the box that it comes from the Disney Store. The overall quality of product is on the better level of medium but not top of the line which is acceptable. Even though it was missing 2 pieces it certainly was entertaining enough for a Christmas puzzle. Christmas Mickey and Minnie jigsaw puzzle  

Brand: Eurographics, Title: Holiday Cats (Christmas Kittens), Size: 19.25"  x  27", Pieces: 1000.  I started with patches of pinks, browns, orange-ish and red. That was enough to start building areas up. Then I did as much leaves on the top and bottom border that I could locate.  From there I just continued to build as many Christmas Kittens into their general area on the puzzle....eventually they all found their places. The Holiday Cats jigsaw puzzle  is a perfect puzzle experience....it's super fun to see these delightful little Kittens created into a seasonal image. I can highly recommend it.

Brand: Cobble Hill Puzzle Company, Title: Christmas Tree Quilt Jigsaw Puzzle, Artist: Cobble Hill , Pieces: 275 large size, Size: 24" x 18". The Christmas Tree Quilt jigsaw puzzle is quite a busy one with many mixed details.

Brand: Ceaco, Title: At Christmas Give Your Heart, Artist: Mary Engelbreit, Size: 20 x 16", Pieces: 500 pieces. The At Christmas Give Your Heart Jigsaw Puzzle has several cute cut whimsies which I find extra delightful and an added feature to the puzzle experience. At Christmas Give Your Heart jigsaw puzzle 

Brand: Springbok Authentic XZL9600, Title: Cool Friends, Size: 34" x 42.5" or 83.3cm x 1.07m, Pieces: 2000 pieces. Board ALERT! Watch your board size on this one. It is 34x42.5" (83.3cm x 1.07m).  I needed to add a foam board section to the top and left side of my 'already' double-sized foam boards. It also makes it difficult to get overhead photos as the board cannot be moved to a lower level so I tried to keep the glare a low as possible. Cool Friends jigsaw puzzle  

Brand: Cobble Hill Puzzle Company, Title: Christmas Train, Artist: Ingrid Slyder ,Size: 26.6x19.25 Pieces: 350 pieces. I love an image that shares the twinkle of Christmas and clearly this one has captured that essence as you will see in the close up photos included in the article.

Brand: Eurographics, Title: Ready for Christmas, Artist: Steve Crisp, Size: 19.25"  x  27", Pieces: 1000. I had singled out the Merry Christmas text which was then done first on the board followed by the Christmas tree, red fence, reindeer, dog and other greenery. From there I worked all the lighter color areas in the rooms, placing them into position on the board. Eventually the lower roof and front doorway were completed. After that, all the rooms were completed until I was down to the starry sky and white snow. Getting Ready for Christmas jigsaw puzzle  

Brand: Bits & Pieces, Title: Winter Patchwork, By: Helz Cuppleditch, Pieces: 1000, Size: 20" x 27". There is a lot of darkness in this image but I really enjoyed assembling it. It did take longer than my usual time to do a 1000 piece puzzle but well worth it in the end!  I took several close up photos to share the details in the review which are not very visible on the large image plus there is a list of 140 Christmas jigsaw puzzles there. Winter Patchwork jigsaw puzzle  

Brand: Cobble Hill Puzzle Company, Title: Holiday Candy, By: Cobble Hill Puzzle Company, Artist: Andrea Mistretta, Pieces: 500, Size: 24" x 18". The matte finish is always nice on these puzzles. As is the cut and quality of Cobble Hill jigsaw puzzles. In the end, as you can see in the close up photos of how the pieces do fit perfectly smooth together which compliments the extremely colorful and delightful production of the Holiday Candy jigsaw puzzle.

Brand: Dowdle, Title: Hometown Christmas, Artist: Eric Dowdle, Pieces: 500, Size: 16" x 20". This one was a real bang for my buck!

Brand: Galison, Title: Peanuts Christmas, Artist: Charles Schultz, Pieces: 1000, Size: 20 x 27". I knew the sky would be testy due to the grid-cut. Once again I laid out all the pieces according to shape and the size of the tips on the pieces and test them all one at time. It took me longer to do the sky and snow than the rest of the puzzle. You can see some close up photos in the article plus there is a list of 140 more Christmas puzzles.  Peanuts Christmas jigsaw puzzle

Brand: Cobble Hill Puzzle Company, Title: Hill of a Lot of Snowmen , By: Janet Stever, Pieces: 500, Size: 26.625" x 19.25".  Being the extra large pieces, I can see this puzzle being perfect for a family Christmas activity. I have assembled other puzzles by this artist however, the 'coloring book' effect in this artwork by  Janet Stever is as attractive as the Snowmen. The children would really enjoy building the Snowmen, the adults can help with the minor tricky branches and the topic is perfect for the Christmas season. Hill of a Lot of Snowmen Jigsaw Puzzle

Brand: Wentworth Wooden Puzzles, Title: Joyeux Noel Puzzle, Pieces: 250, Size:  Approximately 15" x 10" or 360mm x 250mm, Artist: Richard MacNeil. Without a border, the next most obvious place for me to start would be the only unique details available as the text, so that's the path I chose. Joyeux Noel Puzzle

Brand: Cobble Hill Puzzle Company, Title: Christmas on the Farm, Artist: Greg Giordano, Size: 26.6x19.25, Pieces: 1000 pieces. I love an image that shares these scenic activities of Christmas as you can see in the close up photos on the website. The artwork by Greg Giordano is clear, colourful and crisp making it totally attractive. There are elements in this image that remind me of my very young childhood where I grew up on country sunshine.  Christmas on the Farm

Brand: Cobble Hill Puzzle Company, Title: Bird Watchers puzzle, Artist: Persis Clayton Weirs, Pieces: 1000, Size:  48.9 x 67.6cm or 19.25 x 26.625″. I usually start with the most prominent colours and in this case I figured the red birds first, then the lighter brown bird and cat. There was a small area of the black/white cat I could get  done due to the difference of shades and visual texture of the white pieces. Bird Watchers puzzle
