Pull up a dock chair and breathe in that salty air! 🦞⛵ The WerkShoppe Blue Harbor 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle by Brighton-based illustrator Helen Black is a love letter to charming seaside towns, colourful waterfronts, and those perfect coastal days spent between lobster rolls and ice cream cones.

📄 Description

Helen Black's Blue Harbor is a bustling, beautifully illustrated seaside scene bursting with coastal character. Front and centre stands a large red-and-white building with a charming turquoise shopfront, its windows decorated with flowers and a cheerful "Open" sign hanging above the door. To its left, a bold "Lobster" sign in bright pink lettering marks the lobster shack, complete with a large illustrated lobster, pink-and-white striped awning, and a blue-and-white canopy stretching over the boardwalk. To the right, a pretty pink building houses "The Ice Cream Store," topped with an ice cream cone sign and a striped red-and-white awning, while a directional signpost points the way to "Blue Harbor" and the "Marine Museum." A seagull perches on the rooftop, surveying the whole scene with seaside authority. 🐚

Below the shops, the waterfront comes alive. People sit at outdoor cafe tables under colourful umbrellas, a figure browses the boardwalk, and the harbour stretches out behind with an array of boats, from teal fishing vessels and red sailboats to small motorboats and a distant white lighthouse. Colourful sailing boats dot the soft blue water, and fluffy white clouds drift across a pale sky where a warm yellow sun peeks through on the horizon. Nautical flags, life preservers, rope details, lobster traps, and a friendly penguin sign outside the museum add layers of charming coastal personality to every corner. ⚓
