It’s a great conversation starter. Collectors prize their one of kind, low edition pieces, and I’m no different, however I find it refreshing to incorporate pieces in the collection that invite one to sit down, stay and, yes, even play!

I would have preferred to shoot this puzzle on the coffee table in our library, but that room is getting an overhaul and is unavailable.

How I adore the attention to details, such as these faces in the molding located in the 4 corners of the frame.


While this is a sturdier collectible, I don’t recommend dropping the blocks in the puzzle as my 11 year old assistant did. No harm done here, folks.

Here are the six different scenes you can make with this puzzle. I love the wallpaper and adding the 40th logo was a nice touch, I thought!

Here are the specs for this piece:

As Giddy Girlie mentioned in the comments of my last post, there were some pieces from the Haunted Mansion 40th event still available at Disneyland as recently as the last weekend of February. And thanks to my dear, dear friend, Guy the Ghoul for sending me this perfect housewarming gift.
