Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, school and homework have left me drained by the weekend and non motivated to post.
I recently (maybe not so recently, it was in January) I bought some SF puzzles.
I bought 4 for a quite good price. The first one here is of the Evergreens wedding and yes, I already own this puzzle but it is in better condition and is complete unlike my other one which is missing 2 pieces. Does anyone else see that Mr. Thistlethorn has invited his twin brother who looks exactly like himself? I guess they just were not paying attention to what characters they put into the puzzle and accidently put two Thistlethorn fathers.
Here is the second one which is a wonderful group photo, doesn’t it make you wish that you owned some of these families?
This one here is a school setting and yes, there is a complete puzzle inside but I just didn’t photograph it when it was completed.
Here the families got together to listen to some wonderful music on sunset in Sylvania.
The second and last puzzle both are in a frame or tray as you might call it.
Umongst regular odd pieces are some fun ones like a crown, gingerbread man, bat and rabbit. The position of these is the same in both try puzzles.
At the back of the puzzle tray are black and white photos of all of the tray puzzles. I have two of the four.
It was actually made in NZ!
Just a photo of the box, the puzzle was made by Waddlingtons in 1987.
Here alre all of my six puzzles together. I really do like them but I am not really sure what to do with my incomplete puzzle of the wedding set. I will hold on to it for now… What do you think?

You´re lucky to have found these puzzles. I love how vintage they look. It´s very funny the shape of some of the pieces. As for the incomplete puzzle of the wedding set I would keep it for a while and maybe at some point you can try to sell it.
They do look vintage in my opinion, I love just collecting all sorts of SF things.
Emily
I do like them. I wish that they made a newer version of puzzle with for example, 100 pieces. I would really like that!

Emily,
pThe second uzzle is such a beautiful photo of all the vintage families… Nice!
The one with the sunset is so original and I love the lighting.
I did not notice the special pieces (crown, bat, etc.) until you pointed them out, haha!
You could hold on to the incomplete puzzle for now, or you could ask in the forum whether anyone needs replacement pieces for this puzzle. You could also offer it to SF collectors on ebay… Those are my thoughts!
Have a great weekend!!

“The second puzzle” is of course what I meant! 😉
I guessed so :).
Emily
Thank you for your comment! I do love the settings for the photos and the puzzles themselves as well. I too didn’t actually really notice the shapes until I did the puzzle myself. I will hold on to the puzzles for a while and see what I want to do with it.
Emily
I can see why you like them. They are gorgeous pictures.
They are lovely.

These bring back memories of how the Sylvanians used to look when I had them as a child. Such lovely collector items you have there 😀
Thanks,
Emily
