VINTAGE RUG SHOW

The 'fat lady $ang' and was a melodious voice!  The Townsend Orbiter is on its way to its new home in Florida.

My search for old rugs hasn't been fruitful lately so will show photos I've saved previously.  Maybe the auction houses will become a little more active closer to fall.  Here's a folk art horse with stars and floating leaves with dimensions of 28 x 45.   No date was provided.
Another de-wormer rug which may appeal to you more than circles.  
The next one is rather faded so if you are having a hard time figuring out the design, it's a bird on a Branch.  It measures 20 x 40 and said to be hooked around 1910.
A lone deer dated between 1890-1930 from the collection of John and Joan Thayer.  
Am sure this next one isn't antique but thought it cute.   The great deer hunter and deer having a 'sit down'.
Obviously hooked by someone who loved her dog and cat. 
An antique rooster hooked 1880 and measures 33 x 44.5.
The only thing I've learned about the huge 8' 10" long rug is the size and comment it " depicts life on a Maryland east coast farm".
A primitive floral no other info provided.
Just listened to the weatherman and there is "a chance of thunderstorms today thru Thursday".  Well, it is hurricane season after all.  Just hope all is clear when it comes time for me to leave for Cape May.

Happy hooking.

  2. I'm glad to read your sale went through. Still no precipitation here. Last week they were saying a chance on Friday...then that was moved to Monday...and then that dissipated too. Nothing on the horizon for at least the next 10 days and it looks like 90's for the holiday weekend. After fall-like temps the past many days, that's going to be a shock again. Have a good new week. ~Robin~
