Antique and Vintage Rugs to Share

I'm struggling to find the enthusiasm for blogging that I once had.  Of course I still search the internet for something of interest for me hook, that hasn't diminished.   But so many others have stopped or slowed down to a near stop that I find myself wanting to quit too.

A golden pup hooked early 20th century measuring 27 x 42.
 
Just waking up with this rug every morning surely would give one a Good Day.  Said to to be hooked between 1920-40 (18 x 37).
Horse and rider in the city.  Such a strange rug makes me wonder if it was part of a parade and why the horse was sitting.  The rug was hooked early 20th century and is from the collection of Harley Trice. 
Not a rug, but rather a stitchery I felt was worth sharing.  The sampler was done by Agness Wallace, age 8, in 1848.  It measures 12 x 17 and I think it is very endearing. 
Now to get back to my rug on the frame.

  4. Sweet sampler. I love how she spelled giraffe. I had to look up cassowary! It boggles my mind that an 8 year old could stitch that. Way to go Agness ♥️
