Remember these picture blocks? I love them! I remember having a set when I was a kid. Each side had a puzzle from a fairy tale, so the blocks made 6 different picture puzzles. The inside of the box top shows one of the pictures, and then the other pictures are included in the box.
I found these at a little antique shop and I'm not sure if its the same set I had as a kid, but pretty close. I went on and on about them and then my daughter gave them to me for Valentine's Day! : ) A big surprise since she hates antique shops and doesn't usually listen to what I say in them... only asks when we can leave.
Love these blocks!
Leanne - I'm so sorry these are late. I did struggle with the horizontal print blocks so please feel free to remove them if they aren't right.

Description of Historic Place:
The Gusola Block is a triangular, two-storey vernacular building located on the main downtown thoroughfare. The historic place is confined to the building footprint.
Heritage Value:
Designed and built around 1937 by local contractors, the Gusola Block is a typical commercial building of the period. With a few notable exceptions, most of Nanaimo's buildings were not architect-designed. The Gusola Block's blend of architectural styles exemplifies the predominantly vernacular nature of Nanaimo's architecture and underlines the city's modest, working-class character.
The Gusola Block represents a shift to a more modern building style as exhibited in other buildings of the era including the B.C. Hydro Building (1941), the Eagle's Hall (1934) and Tom Brown's Autobody (1937).
The Gusola Block is an excellent example of a building designed to fit an irregularly shaped lot. The triangular lot was defined by Nanaimo's original topography; until the inner harbour was filled in the 1960s, this lot followed the line of the original waterfront.
The Gusola Block forms part of a significant cluster of heritage buildings located at a prominent intersection on the main downtown thoroughfare.

Character-defining elements of the Gusola Block include:
-All of the elements of the building's vernacular style including the California Mission style curved parapets and the Art Deco/Moderne style flat walls, flat roof, and decorative tile work.
-the triangular form and simple massing of the building.
-the location on the main downtown thoroughfare within a grouping of heritage buildings.

I created the blocks, and the Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve, Summer Green Teens, stuffed the holes. Paper was used.
The bees will only lay their eggs in holes of a specific size; in this case 5/16 inch. Using paper also keeps open the option to harvest the bee eggs, clean them (of some potentially nasty mites) and store them until spring.
The blocks need their cool roofs, then they are ready to be hung outside in the early spring.
This is my Blocked fabric design in charcoal gray, bright pink, lime green and white. It's available at Spoonflower:

In case you're wondering what size the pattern is, the distance between the lime green striped lines is about 8 cm or 3"

Further Notes: Prior to the Digital Age, newspapers, books, posters, tickets, forms, and all other types of printed-paper were produced with a printing press. To form the words, moveable type was used and print blocks would be used along side to add images or decorations around the text. A print block is also known as a letterpress cut or a printing die.

Block B: il lato hip-hop del fenomeno K-Pop, live per l’unica data italiana del tour Block Party
1000 biglietti venduti in meno di una settimana, una media di 8 milioni di views a video: arrivano per la prima volta a Milano i Block B, band hip hop sudcoreana che ha già conquistato Russia, America e Giappone.
Dopo il successo del live dei Nu’ Est il 30 novembre scorso, il team di KpopItalia, sull’onda della sempre più crescente K-Pop mania che sta contagiando l’Italia (200mila fan), ritorna in campo portando sul palco del Fabrique di Milano un altro gruppo-icona della scena K-Pop. Un movimento che sta conquistando sempre più estimatori nel mondo, ma soprattutto un universo musicale assolutamente unico che fonde note, coreografie e look d’avanguardia. Per la prima volta in Italia, l’8 marzo, il locale di via Fantoli 9 ospita l’esibizione di Zico, Jae Hyo, U-Kwon, B-Bomb, Taeil, P.O e Kyung. Ovvero i Block B (acronimo di Blockbuster), una della band hip hop più amate del panorama K-Pop. Dei veri unconventional idol che, anche grazie ai loro straordinari video, hanno scalato in fretta le classifiche ufficiali e che daranno vita a un live avvincente dedicato a tutti i loro fan italiani.
In meno di una settimana il portale Ciaotickets.com è stato preso d’assalto registrando la vendita quasi immediata di oltre 1000 biglietti, un affettuoso arrembaggio che ha addirittura mandato in crash il sistema per qualche ora.
Da rappresentanti ribelli del lato hip-hop dell’universo K-Pop, a leader delle classifiche. Tra videoclip dal taglio cinematografico, look da capogiro e hit di successo, breve storia dei Block B: sette ragazzi partiti da una scommessa del rapper Cho Pd e arrivati a conquistare i palcoscenici di tutto il mondo.
Fortunately, we had just driven around two of the cows before we looked back to see them joined by two more, completely blocking the road behind us.
