Antique Rug Show EDITED Version, check it out.

First up is this Floral with scrolls hooked late 1800s early 1900s.  From Quebec, Canada measuring 18 x 30.

Would love to know the story behind this rug with the words 'No Drummers Allowed'.  Measuring 32 x 51 hooked late 19th century and the collection of Albert and Lindamarie Mitchler.  ********newly learned information.  

I've such educated and talented rug hookers who read my blog and so glad they respond.  Sweet Joanm7 provided this information she found with an internet search:  

"The Drummer, an early salesman. In the nineteenth century, door-to-door salesmen were called “drummers.” In a horse-drawn wagon, the drummer visited village homes and outlying farmhouses in order to sell trinkets and necessities. He was a seller of small goods."

Delaware doesn't have indigenous moose but I am drawn to Moose by the Light of the Moon.

Recently found this Red Horse listed on Live auctioneers and up for auction in August.  Love the blotchy background and it has primitive scrolls on the bottom and scrolls with hearts  in the top corners.

A close up of the horse.

A Hutchinson style rug "Don't listen to the Mermaid Lad you think she is good but she is bad.  She'll play upon her harp and beck but leave you and your ship a wreck"  Dimensions are 35 x 54. 

A Star design hooked rug or Mariner's Compass?  Measures 36 x 40.

A very naive rug Stag and Tulips hooked early 20th century measuring 32.5 x 44.  Comes from the estate of Kristina Barbara Johnson, Princeton, NJ.

Love this old landscape called Cottage House with apple tree, horse and hooked on burlap 1920s.  It measures  30 x 42.  I couldn't get a good copy of the enlarged rug because I wasn't listed as a bidder.

As I haven't hooked a lot on my patriotic rug thought you needed something to entertain you during this isolation period.  Me doing this is helping fill the time and hopefully giving you something to enjoy during your isolation.

The yard still needs mowing yet I did manage to cut some in the very front where the neighbors see when they come home.  

I live on sandy soil so it was mostly those sparsely spaced but irritating grasses which have burrs on them.  The ones my boy Ben's paws would pick up, he'd stop and look at me as if to say...fix me mama.   Miss that hunka boy Rottie Ben.  Had I known I wouldn't have to stress about putting my beloved pet in a kennel during camps (as there haven't been any camps since last November) I'd have a Rottie or Pittie right now.
