Stuck on Stickers

It’s another collage image for the win! Stickers!!!

Did you collect stickers as a kid? I sure did! I had a little book that I put all my stickers in, I had a few pages dedicated to fuzzy (or velvety) stickers, a scratch and sniff page, then shiny stickers, and glow in the dark stickers, puffy ones. Needless to say, I was a fan!

I used to go to this store in the Granville Island Market called Kaboodles, they had rolls and rolls of stickers and I was allowed to pick out a certain number of stickers per visit. Say about a dollar or a dollar fifty’s worth. What a decision it used to be! I spent a lot of time debating which ones would come home with me that day.

Then, we’d bring our stickers to school and let our friends check out the new stickers we got over the weekend!

When I saw this puzzle online for the first time, I knew that I would absolutely love to put this together! I thought the chances of me finding it in a thrift shop were pretty slim, but these Halifax Thrift Stores really deliver, sometimes.

I found this along with several other amazing vintage puzzles on a thrift trip earlier this year. I’m sure you may remember the Five Clawed Dragon puzzle by Jaymar.

I was delighted to find out that it is complete and it’s in amazing condition! You may have already figured this out, but this is a Springbok and it dates back to 1985. Inside there was the original proof of purchase and the catalogue sheet. I’m one happy puzzler!

This came from the Puzzle Plus Series by Springbok, which meant that it had indeed come with stickers originally. I wonder if any that are pictured in the puzzle were in the box? And there is a little gallery on the back of the box for the puzzler to display their stickers, how sweet is that?
