BARBARA and NANCY

They would be Barbara E. Merry and her daughter Nancy Gertrude Scott, both prolific rug hookers and painters.  There are a few of their rugs for sale and at this time still for sale.  This first one by Nancy I've never seen before, titled "Wedding Day".

One of Barbara's, a cabin in the woods, she used chenille standing wool to create her design.  What do  you think?  Artistic or sloppy?

Another standing wool rug has the initials BEB instead of BEM, as she was married to Henry Boulter at the time of its making.

Also listed is this fancy house with rainbow, man and cat.

I've wondered if rugs don't sell in their allotted time if they are stored at the auction house to be brought back out later to sell.  As I've seen some of their rugs listed a few times.

My iPad alerted me of a freeze warning last evening so I  covered  my volunteer tomato plant first with a sheet and on top a light weight tarp so the moisture wouldn't penetrate.  This morning when those were removed everything looks no worse for wear.  But know this isn't going to last, and probably not even until those precious green globes turn to yellow.

Happy  Hooking.
