Tattered Edges

"I want to be beautiful the way worn-out things are: touched by time, and proud to be rough around the edges with a story to tell."  author unknown

This puzzle might not be touched by time....but it certainly have a story to tell.  

Liz and I finished up the puzzle a few days ago....then played around with placing the coffee soaked pieces where we could.  Here it is without the damaged pieces.....

....and here it is with all its tattered edges. Even with its imperfections...it's still beautiful.  

And everything is beautiful in the right lighting.

I feel that way sometimes....proud to be a bit rough around the edges....but look OK in the right lighting.  

Remember the puzzles from Melodee?  Margie finished the telephone one just before Liz arrived. It's colorful and fun....and no tattered edges here.
