Otter House - The Book Shop - 1000 pieces

This is my very first Otter House puzzle.  I ordered this in one of my overseas British orders of puzzles and was so excited to receive it.  I love it!  First, there is a huge poster, which makes me feel SO GOOD about a puzzle company right off the bat!  The pieces are not terribly thick and strong, but they don't feel flimsy either.  So all is well there.  The image is fun and so far the pieces have been clear.  Not off color or tint, but very much what they look like in the image.  I appreciate that, too.  

I love this particular image - with just a glimpse of the person walking past the door in the purple coat, the dog just entering the doorway, the cat taking it all in - the man looking in the window at the book display... and the overall beauty of a friendly neighborhood bookstore (what a dream!)   :)  I look forward to doing more Otter House puzzles for sure! They would be well worth ordering from Great Britain for!  Also of note, eco friendly box and packaging and a first for me, the inside paper bag that held the puzzle pieces has information on how to return for a replacement if missing a piece.  Very clear and specific instructions.  Kind of nice, really.

I am really enjoying this puzzle!  So much fun!  I keep forgetting to take update photos.  :)  But it is something I look forward to sneaking a few moments to work on...

This one was truly just pure fun!  My first by this company (Otter House) and now I really want to find more from them.  They are a British puzzle company so that probably won't be easy... but I'll keep my eyes open.  I bought one other so still have one in my stash.  That is good.  :)  The colors were clear, the pieces were a bit thin, but not a problem at all.  The pieces fit together well and I did have some tricky mis-fits but more a challenge - not a frustration.  LOVED the big poster that was folded in half at the bottom of the box.  That also allows for a smaller overall puzzle box which I appreciate - better for storage and for environment.  Definitely a favorite puzzling experience!
