A quiet hush blankets the Vermont hills as neighbors make their way toward the little white church, its windows aglow with golden light. The steeple rises with humble elegance against the evening sky, a familiar silhouette in a landscape softened by fresh snow. Footprints trail up the walkway as bundled figures approach, drawn by the promise of warmth, community, and candlelit hymns. In Charlotte Joan Sternberg’s tender rendering, the spirit of a small-town winter gathering is captured with grace and simplicity. This puzzle invites you into a moment of peace, just before the doors close and the service begins.

Crafted in our Vermont workshop, each wooden jigsaw puzzle is meticulously hand-cut by a highly skilled Stave artisan to be a luxury, heirloom-quality puzzle. No computers or lasers. They are often crafted with an irregular edge that will vary depending on the puzzle's size.

You can personalize your puzzle by requesting names, initials, and dates crafted into it and we can fill the puzzle with charming, clever, and elegant whimsy-shaped pieces. Silhouette shapes can include logos, people in action, a specific car model, or animal breed. If you prefer, you can leave it to the artisan to choose the shapes and surprise you! You'll also discover special cutting features within the puzzle designed to surprise, confound, and delight you!
