Rant Review: Warm and Cozy 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Hobbry, art by Nicolle Lalonde)

I'm heading back to Hobbry town for my final fall-flavored puzzle of the year! It delivers what it promises, a warm and cozy scene you just want to jump into. It went together quickly and easily, as with other 500 piece Hobbry puzzles I've done. The only tricky bit was the quilt, and that would have been easier if I'd been looking at the reference pic. Alas, I did the final bit of this puzzle after waking up at 5:00 a.m. and being unable to get back to sleep, and I was too lazy-- er, that is, I was too warm and cozy to get up and fetch it! Interestingly, there's an updated version of this out there with a modified color scheme and the addition of blowing leaves outside the window. I actually like that one a bit more, but this one is quite nice, and I have no regrets about having this version.

These are the standard Hobbry pieces people either love or hate, with the paper backing and very nice soft matte texture. While I could do with a slightly looser fit, I quite like these pieces overall, and find the puzzles well worth the retail price.
