I could show you photos of my freshly cut yard and yellow tree pollen the wind attached to my black jacket but will spare you the sight and subsequent sneeze attack. Numerous times I had to stop the mower, remove my mask, blow my nose or wipe the runny eyes. The earth is dry, pollen thick and wind is vicious. That and we are under a red flag fire alert due to those facts. Moving right along...

Remember Carol who hooked Domestic Zoo? She is presently hooking an antique adaption like this cat. This antique one was hooked 1901 and measures 26 x 40.
An eagle measuring 17 x 29 but no date. Maybe it isn't old as it appears to have a yarn whipped edge.
Corner of the back of the eagle.
A floral dated 1863.
This 1910 Kissing Birds would be a great wedding rug. It measures 19 x 34.
This is a strange dog rug with stylized hearts, stork, moon, and two other strange critters. Dimensions are 23 x 41.
Well there ya have it and now I'm going back to work on my big horsey. House needs vacuuming but I'm all worked out from cutting grass, lol.

I like the Barbara E Merry bear rug. I'm so glad that you keep finding more of her rugs. There can't be too many of the left that you didn't found.
ReplyDeleteI attended the Hook-in in Rothesay and had a great time. I've been just too darn busy to post any pictures but at least, they are uploaded on my computer. We are under flood watch and I had to move all my preserves on higher shelves. So much work to get ready for the flood. Hopefully it won't be too bad this year. It coming a bit earlier that usual this year.
I've been busy transplanting lots of seedlings this afternoon. I need a little nap. lol...
Thanks for the rug show. My grass is just starting to green up today.
Hugs,

Thanks f
I Love the first rug with the houses....I have that saved .
ReplyDeleteAnd Merry Berry's rug is great too ! Will Love to see how Carole hooks that her adaptation of the Cat rug !!! Always love your rug shows !
It is chilly here today , windy & pollen falling too ....we need rain , it's very dry here as well .
I love the fruit basket, mainly because I love that background. I do not miss that yellow tree pollen. It was horrible when I lived in Georgia. In Ohio we don't get that.
ReplyDeletePretty dry in Ohio but thankfully no fire threats.
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at how many antique rugs you have saved. Tks for the show.
We have had snow and rain now for three days. Not dry here in Michigan. As always love perusing your antique rug show. Janice
ReplyDeleteLove the first rug. Also, wow a red flag warning already and so near the coast. It’s spring. Shouldn’t it be too wet out to mow? Sorry you were so pollinated and sneezified 🥴

I, too, am impressed by the number of old rugs you come up with. I like the dark, moody, tones of the first one. Snowing again here - supposedly 2-4" and then more on Saturday. Tired.of.it. ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteWe have had drizzle the past few days so that has helped the pollen count a bit.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite is the basket of flowers
