Springbok Will You Be Mine Sweethearts Vintage Jigsaw Puzzle

Here's a fun jigsaw puzzle for Valentine's Day or any day. It's the 1997 Springbok puzzle titled "Will you Be Mine." It is puzzle number VBO2066. It has 500 pieces and the finished puzzle will measure 18 by 23 1/5 inches. Definitely a fun one to work with your sweetheart.

It is retired now so the best place to find your Springbok Will You Be Mine jigsaw puzzle is here on eBay. Note that the fact that it is retired means you may or may not find one available when you look. However, there do seem to be a number of  copies of the Chocolate Sweethearts puzzle available, which would be a great alternative to this one.

Happy Puzzling!

Vintage Walt Disney Movie Poster Jigsaw Puzzles by Golden

In the 1990s, Walt Disney released a series of movie poster-themed jigsaw puzzles with the company Golden. Yes, that’s the same company that produced the Little Golden Books of days gone by. 

Each of these puzzles features an iconic animated Disney movie’s poster and, because each one is comprised of 300 big puzzle pieces, it comes together to make a fairly large puzzle of 2 by 3 feet.

These puzzles are a great addition to any Disney fan’s collection, whether you collect only items related to one movie or you collect items related to any Disney movie. The choice is yours. You can choose to display them once they are built or to build them time and time again. 

While intended for older children, they are also a fun puzzles to work as an adult. Honestly, when I am looking for an easier puzzle, I love working these puzzles.

My latest puzzle was the Beauty and the Beast one. It was a fun journey into the magic and romance of this classic story. I loved snapping into place all of the pieces with their iconic characters though to my chagrin, my puzzle was missing a piece!

There are quite a few of these puzzles available. I found thirteen. Here's my list:

101 Dalmatians – Mostly white with Cruella
101 Dalmatians – With Cruella, a car and a full moon
Aladdin
Beauty and the Beast
Cinderella
Jungle Book, The
Lion King, The
Little Mermaid, The
Pinocchio
Pocahontas
Rescuers Down Under
Rocketeer
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Please note that this list may not be complete. If you know of other puzzles in this series, be sure to let me know. Also, some of these puzzles are rarer than others. In particular, it might be harder to locate Cinderella, Rescuers Down Under and Rocketeer. In any case, you can look on eBay to see which of these Walt Disney Golden puzzles are available now by clicking right here.

The Limited Edition Schlep Bag by Roots Canada Ltd

How much do you schlep around in your handbag? The Schlep Bag, a limited edition tote bag by Roots Canada Ltd., was a handbag or purse that was perfect for toting or schlepping around whatever it is that you carry to work, to play or to the gym. The only problem is that it was a VERY limited edition bag. Roots only made 10. Yes, you read correctly. Ten bags. Period. Which means, of course, that most of us cannot have one no matter how badly we want one.

Why only ten? I believe it was done in the name of marketing. Limited edition offers appeal to people on a couple of levels. They offer an exclusive product and they offer an opportunity to own something that not very many other people will own. For retailers though, who are finding times tough, they help create a sense of urgency on the part of the consumer. If you liked this bag when it became available, you could not hesitate. You had to act right away.

One other benefit of such a limited edition bag, of course, is the free publicity it brings. Roots has built its success on some smooth marketing moves; I would say this fits right in with some of their other success stories.
