A 'must' read for puzzle lovers

During the Christmas break I enjoyed reading Margaret Drabble's book The Pattern in the Carpet. It seems I’m not the only jigsaw junkie - in her book, Dame Margaret Drabble reveals that when her husband, the biographer Michael Holroyd, was diagnosed with bowel cancer, jigsaws helped save her from sinking into paranoia and depression. Piecing together framed pictures gave her an illusion of control when everything else was uncertain.

A highly recommended read.

Jigsaws as a fashon statement? !

Diane von Furstenberg, president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, let the crowd attending New York Fashion Week in on a little secret: Fashion is a puzzle.

She used jigsaw puzzle pieces as a prominent theme of her fall collection. There was a puzzle print on a pink sleeveless dress, and laser-cut pieces on a black embellished one. A model carried a puzzle-box bag. So who said jigsaws were dull!!!

Great new puzzles are arriving...

Merry Christmas and Happy Puzzling!

Merry Christmas everyone. Thanks for your business in 2011. We hope you get the opportunity to relax with family and friends this festive season. Put a jigsaw out on a table and watch it attract family and visitors alike - need the table? - just pop the loose bits in a meat tray (washed of course!) and spread your table cloth over the jigsaw on the table. Voila! Your table is useable again. Look out for new jigsaws in 2012 as we will be restocking.... Happy Puzzling! Joy and the Team at Pathway Puzzles

Jigsaw Puzzle accessories

If you know someone who enjoys jigsaws, and you are looking for something a bit different for them for Christmas, How about a puzzle roll, or a puzzle store so the jigsaw can be put away without being broken up??

We use a puzzle store all the time for the puzzle we are working on here at Pathway Puzzles, and we use a puzzle roll for that special puzzle that we don't want to glue up, but don't want to break up yet. So, both come highly recommended!
