I'm not gonna lie, it was one of the more difficult puzzles I've done, but the shaped pieces made me love it, so I don't mind the difficulty level that much 😅

What an amazing find this puzzle was! Do you like vintage puzzles? 👀🧩 And I hope the song is not too creepy 😅😂

Women of Paris: The Circus Lover was painted in 1885 by James Tissot. It is still in the collection at FAM in Boston. Most art museums sell puzzles of artworks in their gift shops. I bet someone visited the museum on a trip to Boston from Europe and got it there. Cool puzzle. Shocked it was in such good shape! Nice build, and nice find on the circus music.

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

I didn't realise the painting was still there 😁 So unfortunate, that they didn't reply to my email, regarding the puzzle, as it would be good to know more details about it 😊 I was shocked as well! And with all the pieces as well!! 🤩 Thank you! 🤗

[@puzzlinghappiness]

Ohh what a gorgeaus puzzle!! 😍 It looks so much fun - at least when YOU did it! 😄 Thank you for sharing! ❤️ And the music was perfectly eerie, love it! 🥰

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

Thank you! Haha I believe it was more fun to watch than to assemble 😂😂

[@kathylynn1375]

very cool puzzle,,,glad you finished it... I love the odd shapes..... but every time you said its quite vintage I chuckled I have two on my shelf dated 1972... but hey Im vintage too..... lol lol

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

Thank you! Well.. about the vintage thing - it's more in a sense that you can't buy it anymore, and they're not making any new ones 😅 The puzzle is still younger than me, so I guess I'm vintage too then haha 😂😂

[@anselimnida]

What a unique puzzle! Really enjoyed hearing about it and watching you put it together. Well done!

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

It is unique, and I'm really happy I found it! 🤩 Thank you! 🤗

[@Laura_Stanford]

Super interesting, I like art related puzzles as well and the whimsy pieces too

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

It was an interesting puzzle, but quite tricky as well! 😅 Loved the whimsy pieces though - never seen them in a cardboard puzzle before! 🤯

[@fortheloveofpuzzles]

Another great video - I was excited to see that you did this puzzle as I remember you asking for information on it. So pleased it had all its pieces. The music was fun and was that a creepy chuckle I heard?? Hehehe 💜🧩

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

Thank you! Yeah, I couldn't really find anything about it 😅 But very lucky that all the pieces were there! 🤩 Haha there was a creepy chuckle 😂😂 I hope not too creepy 🤣

[@RaijaAlatalo]

This music in the background is so creepy though 😬 more Halloween theme than a circus one 😆but it's an interesting puzzle!

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

Hah yeah I had that thought too, but it's circus so I thought it could pass 😅😂 I wanted to use it for a long time 🤣🙈 Thank you! 😁

[@puzzlesbypam2442]

Very great find, but definitely looks hard!

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

The most difficult part about it were the completely random cut pieces 😅

[@kristyj7925]

Such fun shapes in a paper puzzle, loved the cohesiveness of the shapes and the music with this puzzle, not too creepy in my book! Lol

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

It was a really fun puzzle! I'm glad you liked the music! 🤩🤗

[@puzzlepiece9509]

Well that was quite something. 👍 Not one I would wish to tackle, too much dark in it. I have done vintage puzzles in the past but the pieces can be quite thin and fragile. I have kept one which I received in the mid 1960s, a Crown puzzle called The Italian Lake by Frank Mills. It was the first adult puzzle I remember getting. I do hope that for some of the jigsaws that you are doing you will be sat at a table. 🙂 You won't be able to sit on a bed 🛌 when you go to the Worlds in September! Look forward to your next video. ☺

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

The dark wasn't even the most difficult part - it was the shape of the pieces 😅 This was my first puzzle of a kind, and I have to say that I was super impressed with quality 🤩 I couldn't find the puzzle you're talking about, but I'm sure it's nice if you have decided to keep it 😁 I do my practice runs by the table, as a preparation for the worlds, so not all puzzles, but better than nothing 😅

[@kellygragg2104]

Great video, I loved the choice of background music to evoke the sounds of the circus. While you weren’t “speed puzzling” it was a time for challenging puzzle. Are the 1990s considered vintage? 😉

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

Thank you! And I'm glad you liked it haha, wasn't sure if it's too creepy 😅😬 I honestly didn't expect it to be that difficult 😂 And you know what, I'm not sure, but Google says over 20 years old is vintage, and over 100 is antique 🤷🏻‍♀️ I decided to believe Google 🤣

[@RicPuzzles]

this looks amazing, Janette! wow.

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

Thank you! 😁

[@RicPuzzles]

@@janetteandherpuzzles u are most welcome! I just found out you also have the Postcard from London, that's so cool!

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

@@RicPuzzles I do! I have all puzzles from last years singles competition 😁

[@RicPuzzles]

@@janetteandherpuzzles thats really nice! So sorry i don’t follow much of the competition side of it, but i see it’s a big deal for puzzlers eh! Cheers 😁👍🏻

[@lavernehodge3320]

Such an awesome find and it's in really good shape. I love the image. Very nice build with perfect music.

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

Thank you! It's in a great shape, for its age! 🤩

[@HullEastYorkshire]

What a lovely puzzle, great that it’s complete. Did look difficult though. Will you keep it or pass it on? Really enjoy your videos Jeanette, look forward to the next, love from the UK

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

Such a great puzzle! And yes, it was quite difficult 😅 I haven't decided what to do with it just yet, but I'll keep it for now 🙈 Thank you! 🥰

[@Turnbull50]

Well done your amazing at puzzles

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

Thank you! 😁

[@Kanguruo]

What is a vintage puzzle? If it is from 1995 it is not really that old. If I hear vintage I would think the puzzle might be from before 1970 at least. Yesterday I did a puzzle released in 1986, but I feel strange if people say it is a vintage puzzle.

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

Well yeah, that has been a debate under this video. Technically vintage is anything that is more than 20 years old, so it falls under the vintage category, but I know what you mean 😅

[@patriciajaynebavas7118]

I love doing puzzles but I couldn't sit for 4 straight hours feeling frustrated. I like to take my time and if I get stuck I just stop and carry on another day. I don't have a lot of room so work on a plastic table that I can easily pick up and move out of the way when not working on my puzzle. I had a little laugh to myself when you called a 90s puzzle vintage as I was in my 30s then 😂

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

Yeah, I get that! I do take breaks when I'm not speed puzzling, so I just mark my times down and add them all together to get my final time 😊 I don't have much space either, so I use my puzzle board, which is honestly a life saver! And yes, regarding the puzzle being vintage - I'm starting to think it has to be of a certain age to be called vintage, as you're not the first to call me out on it 😅 I say vintage because it's not being made anymore, so whatever is out is out 🙈

[@kristyj7925]

Vintage is correct for over 20 years , which this is, antique to describe over 100 years old

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

@@kristyj7925 Ok thank you for clearing this up for me 🤗

[@kaytorrence8870]

Do you have the link to you puzzle that took so long can't find it

[@kaytorrence8870]

😂😂😂 I found the other video didnt see the button at the top 🙈( now to listen to the music on this one again )

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

Haha no worries! Glad you found it at the end 😁

[@kaytorrence8870]

Cool

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

Thank you! 🤗

[@SeanNiehoff-q9i]

When you find a puzzle in a charity shop, has there ever been a missing piece?

[@janetteandherpuzzles]

I have had some missing pieces, but in most cases, the puzzles were complete 😁
