I dragged myself out of bed nice and early yesterday morning, picked up my nephew, and headed off to the op shops.
One of the local community centres is having a little craft market in November, so I'm going to help him to make a few things so that he can have a stall. We were in search of supplies..... but our mission wasn't very successful on that front!
I did however, manage to find this lovely vintage jigsaw set. I'm guessing that it's from the 60's or 70's?

That's cool! We are going to a flea market in the morning! Hope we find good stuff!
What a great find! I love jigsaw puzzles and these are so much fun!
What awesome puzzles. So lovely. I have something similar but on a car theme... they're so nice I only let the children play with them if I am sitting near by... too worried they'll be eaten or drawn on.
I hate you.
Probably 50's I'd say Cam. Fabulous find. And hehe at Vic.
CAm- I had that when I was little, we also had a duck with a green background, but def those ones! thanks for the reminice!
You have brought a tear to my eye!! (ok, I'm very sentimental) We had this puzzle as kids - although I can't remember whether it was at my Grandmother's house or ours....long time ago! I have to send a link to this post to my mother!! Thanks so much for sharing.. it's one of those things that I had long forgotten!!
just gorgeous...
Oh My GOD I love those Puzzles! xo

Amazing puzzles. Op shop envy over here!

oh lordy, lord! Those jigsaws are the best! And no pieces missing, wow! I reckon this should go into the Flea Market Find of the year competition!!
I'm so jealous! They are too cute. I'd have loved them when I was a kid.
