WendlepegPuzzle shop & swap library

Jigsaw puzzles and a swap shelf in Ostermill

Start with the corners.

New puzzles from 300 to 2,000 pieces, a swap shelf where a finished puzzle buys you the next one, and a table on Sundays where anyone can sit down and help.

Shelves and prices

New puzzles, sample prices

Priced by the piece count

Glue, roll-up mats and wooden boards with sorting trays are on the shelf by the counter, from $7.

The swap library, in plain words

A finished puzzle buys the next one

  1. Bring a puzzle you have finished

    Any puzzle of 300 pieces or more, in its box. Tell us if a piece or two is missing and we write that on the lid.

  2. Get a swap ticket

    We take the puzzle and hand you a ticket. Tickets never expire, and you can swap up to two puzzles a visit.

  3. Take one off the swap shelf

    Any puzzle on the shelf, any size, for one ticket. No ticket? A swap-shelf puzzle is $5.

  4. Short a piece? Bring it back

    If a swap puzzle turns out to be missing more than the lid says, bring it back within 14 days for another.

Sundays, 1pm to 5pm

Pull up a chair at the puzzle table.

There is always a 1,000-piece puzzle going on the big table by the window. Sit down for ten minutes or the whole afternoon. A seat is $3, and the coffee is on us.

Thursday evenings this winter there are puzzle nights too: see the winter puzzle-night calendar.

Have a swap-shelf puzzle held.

Tell us which one, or what kind you like. We hold it for seven days.
