It's blog post day and tho I try to do one every other day, sometimes don't hit that goal. Today I'm on target. This first rug is still on the auction site, a floral with braided border and given a date of 1870. Dimensions are 25 x 46.
Next is a geometric and no date was provided, tho measurements were, 23 x 46. Hmm, so far there seems to be a fall color theme. This next one is quite familiar as a recently popular reclining lamb design which was hooked by many, including me. This was said to be hooked early 20th century and measures 23.5 x 33.
A jockey on horse hooked late 19th to early 20th century (24 x 38.5).
A sweet rabbit appears to be eating a flower leaf. Size is 23 x 34.5 and hooked late 19th to early 20th century.
A peacock on a flowering tree branch, the branch is barely noticeable. No date provided, 27 x 47.
An old floral rug I've had in this file for almost a year and want to move it to the shown rugs file before it becomes even older. I think there are a couple birds in there. No date or dimensions.
A landscape (26 x 42) said to be hooked 1920-30.Another geometric hooked and braided rug, this one dated 1900's. Measures 27 x 32.5. No clue as to age but it is so dang cute had to post it. Yes, it was on an auction site a while ago ~ cat placemat size 7 x 9.5. This antique below was Barb Carroll's and sold at auction for $3,000. It was hooked late 19th century and dimensions are 27 x 39. Love those colors and miss Barb. And for an even dozen rugs, a basket of posies with measurements of 30 x 39 but no date was provided.
Not sure how much hooking will get done in the next couple days as I've ordered my new computer and with no tech savvy family or friend to help me set it up I'll be struggling thru it just like when I purchased this one.

A post every other day is a lofty goal. I try for twice a week 🤷♀️
ReplyDeleteWouldn’t hook it, but I like that old floral.
Congrats on finally getting the new ‘puter ordered! I hate learning new stuff!
I love the simplicity of the first one and the landscape also.
ReplyDeletethanks for the show as always.

So many neat rugs ! Good luck with your computer ....hope we hear from you soon
ReplyDeleteI like the old floral...and that braided/geometric one. Kudos on getting the new pc ordered. Hopefully set up will be a breeze...or, at least, go smoothly. I've always dealt with that on my own as well...except this last time was a bit more involved given that the lightning strike totally fried my pc. Even Best Buy Geek Squad said they'd not be able to get anything off the old hard drive to transfer...but thankfully my son's friend was able to help. It's not perfect, but most of what I need was restored (in a completely separate drive tho...)
ReplyDeleteOh, how neat. I have no idea why but I love the one of the jockey. It just made me smile. I also love the peacock and floral one. All are neat!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I like bunnies am not fond of the pattern around that rug. My fav this time is the first one although a bit bright for my taste. Also the peacock is quite different, especially in the tail. Janice
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to see the show!
