The Vikings

Pregare per Italia . pray for Italy

Today my thoughts and prayers are for all persons killed and still dying by the desastrous earthquakes in central Italy.

 

May the children, women and men find peace in heaven

and may those who survived recover soon.

May they find help, protection and hope.

Completion of "Ethnic Collection" by Clementoni - only 3 missing

While searching for all 'Ethnic Collection' jigsaw puzzles I assembled by now 

and all pictures available, I found 3 pictures that are still missing.

Sunset Dolphins, 1000 pcs.

Taj Mahal, 500 pcs.

Panters, 500 pcs. 

I never saw the smaller Taj Mahal or even the black panthers before - until today

These jigsaw puzzles were edited 2005-2008 

and are on sale at eBay from time to time.

If someone should ever found the Taj Mahal or black Panthers, please let me know.
