Step through the striped curtain doors of the strangest little shop in town! This 500 piece jigsaw puzzle by Anne Bentley fills every window with witchy wonders, from spell books to skeletons minding the register.

Description

A giant grinning black cat face marks the entrance to this vintage inspired storefront, with three ravens perched along the ivy covered brick above and spiderwebs stretching across the windows. Inside, a cheerful skeleton tends the counter beneath a Happy Halloween banner, surrounded by shelves stocked with graveyard dust, eye of newt, and a magic spellbook, while a caped vampire lurks near a standing coffin on the other side of the shop. Tombstones bearing punny names, jack o’lanterns, and a marble bust line the checkered floor out front, and a typewriter quietly clacks out the word help among the display window curiosities. Anne Bentley’s flat, folk art style and bold color palette give this 500 piece jigsaw puzzle a playful, storybook spookiness that’s fun without ever feeling too scary.
