I purchased this back in 2007,for $8.00 plus tax,with the thought in mind that it would one day increase in value. This particular puzzle is no longer in stock in this limited edition collector's tin,100 piece size,so I don't know the value, but since his passing in 2012, the 'collector's value' has probably increased.
A bit about the artist ...
Thomas Kinkade's tranquil, light infused paintings bring hope and joy to millions of fans. Each painting is a quiet messenger in the home, affirming the basic values of family, faith in God, and the luminous beauty of nature. Kinkade was a devout Christian and credits the Lord for both the ability and the inspiration to create his paintings. His goal as an artist was to touch people of all faiths, to bring peace and joy into their lives through the images he created. A devoted husband and doting father to their daughters, Kinkade hid the letter "N" in his paintings to pay tribute to his wife, Nanette. The girls names can also be found in many of his paintings. Kinkade has received numerous awards for his works.
Photo #8 is a photo of the painting with the same title, try zooming on it, and see if you can find the 'N' that he painted in tribute to his lovely wife!
An hour or so spent putting this little puzzle together over tea and cookies with a favorite aunt or grandmother, would make for a sweet memory in the mind of a little girl.
