There are goodies, some funnies and perhaps some uglies. But any rug show is a good show in my book. Easter is very close and found this beautiful hooked rug on Pinterest but don't have a date, sorry. Usually when finding things on Pinterest I try to backtrack to the original source which is usually an auction site for info, not this time. Am sure Janice will love this one.
This whimsical duck rug (22 x 36.5) is from the collection of Drs Hill and George Waynick. No date was provided but think it may be a Canadian hooked piece. The rug below was said to be hooked in the 1900's but don't know if early or late. It's sweet and would have made an adorable rug for a child's room. Very primitive cat rug below looks old to me but have no date to confirm that. Poor kitties look so forlorn and all I could think of, IF I was to give it a name, would be "Pete and Repete".
This one below is from Fiddlers Antiques which I found on Facebook. What animal do you think this is shown below? I think it has the body of a horse. The auction house is advertising it as "standing dog eating a bone". Was written to be hooked mid 20th century. Doesn't look like any dog I've ever seen.
A floral found on Fiddler's Antique shop. Two grey cats from the same Antique shop.
The horse rug is a new addition to the on-line auction house offerings. Hooked sometime in the 20th century and dimensions are 24 x 38.
The rubber ducky rug brings back memories of Barb Carroll's Koi pond filled with rubber ducks a bunch of us purchased. Here is said rug: Here is a photo of Barb's duck filled Koi pond:
Last but not least....a week or so ago I posted the photo of a cat the auction house named Racoon Cat. Someone could have gotten a great deal because I watched the count down to seconds and the price remained at $50. There were many watchers so maybe at the last second someone came in with a higher bid but photo removed before final price was posted. Bet it was still a very good deal.
Finally having my taxes done today. Was waiting for a 1099 from my bank and after making calls the document finally arrived.
Happy hooking.

Taxes. Ugh. Hopefully will get mine finished in the next day or two. Not good this year.
ReplyDeleteTks for the show!
Oh those Kitty's Pete & Repete !!! LOL And that is a very odd looking dog with the bone !!! A great rug show !!!
ReplyDeleteYep you hit the nail on the head with that bunny one. I do love it. Also like that second horse one. I should have bid on that cat rug. That was a steal. Dont get me started on taxes. We always owe and this year the Fed is making everyone do it online. UGH Janice
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look like any horse I've ever seen either. Ha.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice group of rugs. I really like this grouping. I like all of the ducks in the pond too. I would like to try my hand at all of them. I hope you have a lovely April 1st.
ReplyDeleteOf course you'd post that raccoon rug and tell me that it likely sold for less than $50 (US). I actually went to the site and looked at it when you first posted about it. For some, unknown, reason, I considered bidding on it...but was once scalded by shipping costs of some stupid small thing I purchased on an auction site (in-state but several hours from me) and vowed I would never purchase from an auction site again unless I knew what shipping would be. Probably for the best....I absolutely, positively, do not need it...and didn't even it "LOVE" it that much. (But I did love it a little, ya know?)
