Jigsaws for all the family
With the long hot days of summer a way behind us it’s time to start thinking of colder, shorter days and keeping ourselves amused through the long winter months. So how about some colourful jigsaw puzzles to challenge the little grey cells?

Jigsaw puzzles enjoyed a resurgence of popularity during the Covid lockdowns, and their appeal has continued long afterwards for people of all ages, but what makes these so special is that they are of many of our favourite scenes in our local area!
Using designs from original paintings by local artist Wendy Brown, the 1000 piece puzzles have been manufactured in the UK using 100% recycled board. Each puzzle measures 50 x 66 cm (20 x 26”) and comes with a large fold-out image for you to follow.
The puzzles include a colourful scene of Hengistbury Head featuring the old Noddy Train, the Priory Quarter of Christchurch, The New Forest, and Poole Quay, plus other local images. Each one is very colourful and packed with quirky details, and just for an extra challenge there isn’t a straight line in sight! So trying to piece them together is very entertaining.
With Christmas fast approaching they would also make wonderful gifts for friends and family.
If you’re looking for gifts for little ones, there are also two children’s jigsaws in Wendy’s collection. Titled “Dinner Time” and “The Sweetshop”, they feature her traditional children’s illustrations of little animals in charming, vintage settings, and with just 48 pieces per puzzle make perfect gifts for children of three years old and above.
You can view all the jigsaw puzzles by going to Wendy Brown’s website www.wendy-brown-art.co.uk and clicking on the Jigsaw Puzzles in the drop-down menu in the Shop section. They cost £17.00 for the 1000 piece puzzles and £14.00 for the children’s 48 piece puzzles, BUT - for the months of October and November 2022, you can claim 10% off these prices by entering the code PUZZLE10 at the checkout!
