Up next for us is a surprise new puzzle from So Puzzled Puzzle Company: 2 Dandelions Bookshop!
This one is so new and so secret that it’s not even on the store on the So Puzzled website yet.
2 Dandelions is our local independent bookstore and it was awesome to work with them on a puzzle design to help them celebrate Independent Bookstore Day this weekend. The artwork from local artist Nicole Ray (who works under the name Sloe Gin Fizz) is incredibly cute and features a ton of little easter eggs relating to the store.
We’ve had this on-hand for a few days and it was really hard not to crack it open and get started immediately. One of the problems we’ve had doing our own puzzles is dealing with the combination of excitement and a feeling of obligation. We want to do the puzzles quickly so that we can talk about them from experience, which leads to us rushing into it and not enjoying the experience as much as we’d like. So we’re deliberately slow-rolling this one a little bit. We’ll see how that goes.
At first glance I think it’s safe to say that the sky could be a little difficult to pull together but I also think the store windows that are packed with books could get a little tricky. It’s a 500-piece puzzle, though, so I think even the tricky parts will come together okay.
We’re excited to get started on this one and are thrilled to have it in our collection.
