Magical World - Shangri-La by Ceaco - 750 pieces

This puzzle was a delight to put together - very pretty to look at and a lot of fun to complete.  

This puzzle appears to be part of a series.  The box refers only to "Magical World" as the name, but the back shows two additional puzzles.  When I subsequently looked for this online, I found that Shangri-La is added as part of the name for this puzzle and some others are noted below.

Name: Magical World - Shangri-La 
Artist: Ciro Marchetti
Brand/Manufacturer: Ceaco
Year: 2014
No. of Pieces: 750
Puzzle piece shape: Normal
Completed size (per box): 24 in. x 18 in (61 cm x 46 cm)

At time of posting, I found this puzzle for sale at Puzzle Warehouse, among others. 

To help me finding them later, and for anyone else who may be interested, others in this series which I was able to find were:




Are there others?  If so, please let me know in the comments.

Sweet Delights by Colorluxe - 1000 pieces

In an attempt to catch this blog up to my recent puzzling, I'll be posting photos of puzzles previously finished this year. 

I really enjoyed doing this puzzle.  The colors were bright and cheerful.  

I don't recall any problem with pieces not fitting together as expected.  


Name: Sweet Delights
Brand: Colorluxe
Manufacturer: Lafayette Puzzle Factory
No. of Pieces: 1000
Puzzle piece shape: Unique
Completed size (per box): 19.25 in. x 26.625. in (50 cm x 68 cm)
Difficulty: I wasn't very familiar with unique-shaped pieces prior to doing this one, but didn't find this one to be too much harder than normal-shaped puzzles once I got the feel for it. 

Notes from box: Winner of Creative Child Magazine's 2013 Creative of the Year Play Award.
