It's raining again with 1 1/2 - 2" expected on top of what is already here. This is my dreary, dark and damp day so I'll be inside hooking. When this system is done there will be more rain still to come. If it continues I'll no longer have a lake view property it will become a floating house boat.
Here is the forecast and rain returns again Monday for a few days.
AND ... it's antique rug show time.
Finding vintage rugs on the internet has been rather scarce lately, but will show you some of what I've saved on the flash drive. A bowl of flowers dated 1900 and measures 20 x 30.
A horse of course, dated 1898 it measures 31.5 x 46.5.
A group of 7 rugs photographed together.
The only one out of that group given information was the village snow scene circa 1900.
And the last rug for today's show is the rug dated 1923. Renard is a French word meaning "fox".
Hopefully the auction houses will be filled with lovely antique rugs soon. Happy Hooking.

Maybe you need to start hooking an ark???
ReplyDeleteOy! You are getting the rain. I'm trying to think if I've seen any other frog rugs. It is charming 😊
ReplyDeleteWow !!! You could have a house boat after all the rain !!! That is just crazy . Hope your basement is staying dry ....
ReplyDeleteI love the Bowl of Flowers and the Village snow scene.
You could finish hooking your Fox with all the rainy days .....
Stay warm & cozy inside !
When I first pulled up your post I glanced at the first photo and thought your deck was a pond of water. Whew....glad it wasn't - but, yikes, that still a lot of wet. I'm visualizing little sailboats floating around....or maybe you could adopt a herd of rubber ducks? You may just have to have one of those helicopter roof rescues soon. Love the cat rug (well, the cat part - not crazy about the border). If I had to guess, I'd say it was intended to be a lion given the size of its head and the scruff around the mouth? And it certainly speaks "fierce" to me. ~Robin~ (I'd say "stay dry" but that probably would be a bit cheeky on my part.)
ReplyDeleteMy favs are the bowl of flowers and that horse. A very interesting background on that one. I hope the rain stops soon or you might have to build an ark. UGH Janice

We have had a lot of rain, especially during the Holy Week, then it snowed and we also had high wind but everything calmed down, and the sun came out on Easter.
ReplyDeleteI hope that your water receded. The level of water in the river and the brook rose but dropped down a bit. I'm looking forward to warmer weather.
My favorite rug is the winter scene. I love scenery. Thanks for digging upthose rugs for our entertainment.
Hugs, Julia
