Hello out there to all my puzzle friends!  Today's blog entry is going to be about adding some diversity to our puzzle collections. I never really used to look at my puzzle collection with a critical eye. I didn't even give it a second thought until a Black puzzler friend told me that she doesn't do puzzles with people in it because none of them look like her.  I was gobsmacked.  I spent the day looking at my puzzles and saw the hard truth that I never noticed.  CONTINUE READING

Established just over a year ago (February 2021), Enwood Games is one of the newest brands available at Puzzle Warehouse. I spoke with the owner, Francisco, who told me that he has been a puzzler for as long as he can remember.

He also pushes the business to think outside the box and come up with new innovations with puzzles. In fact, he keeps a notebook with him at all times so he can jot down ideas whenever they come to him. CONTINUE READING

And these stores sell such a variety of items – flowers, puzzles, books, electronics, clothing, vintage items, toys, and more. CONTINUE READING

Good morning my Jigsaw Junkies! Today, I’m bringing you a puzzle review for a US based and manufactured, family owned and run, jigsaw puzzle company: Heritage puzzles. I chose to do the 1000 piece puzzle Join Us by Eileen Seitz, and I absolutely loved it! If I said Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, I’m not sure if many people would know what it looks like or where it’s located. However, this adorable humble lighthouse, with its iconic black and white candy cane stripes served as the starting point for Heritage puzzles. CONTINUE READING
