By the way - Steve and Martha don't have a Stave Puzzle box in their photo, so they're disqualified :-)

Have fun!!!!!! Paula; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Miriam on December 23, 2008 at 11:16pm: The three in the final photo are Alice in Wonderland figurines. These pieces were carved and painted by hand and sold by a museum in England--I think the Dover Museum. I acquired them through the Metropolitan Museum of Art some years ago. They are actually meant to be ornaments, but I do not have a tree so placed them together in a little arrangement in the living room, along with a lovely card received from friends in Finland. Happy Holidays to you, too! Miriam; ▶ Reply to This

I got a number of family members their first Stave Puzzle this Christmas. On Christmas Eve I visited my brother and his wife and, as evidenced below, neither was able to wait very long before starting. Both were teasing the other quite a bit (naturally) on who would complete his/her puzzle first. To maintain harmony, I'll keep the victor's win a secret.
