Have been busily working on the Snowman rug to finish it. Had hoped to show it to you this evening but it isn't quite done. Hopefully this post will entertain you with an antique rug show.
Although I've a bad relationship with destructive squirrels, I love this 1907 squirrel in a flower garden. Dimensions are 17 x 38.
This rug is still listed for sale if anyone is interested. Said to be hooked late 19th or early 20th century and measures 35 x 54.5.
Essex Floral (27.5 x 44.5) given a date between 1880-1900. Is part of the property of Cogswell's Grant.
I'm not a pink person, but must admit I adore this Fisherman's House rug. It measures 28 x 41 and said to be hooked 19th century.

A rug not just for the November holiday, but every day ~ "Let Us Be Thankful". And honestly, despite whatever hardships we have had in our life, we all have something to be thankful for.
The auction house indicated this 1885 Shaker rag rug had a crochet foundation thru which strips are worked. Very interesting and a lot of work to provide oneself a rug. But they didn't have internet back then either 😊.
That's it for tonight. I want to get back working on the Snowman rug so there's something to show you soon. Tomorrow it is supposed to storm and sadly I've also a dental appointment. Otherwise I'd not venture out. Happy hooking.

Not that crazy about the squirrel, but love the flowers in that rug.
