NEWLY FOUND OLDIES

Perhaps some of these may inspire you to design your own heirloom or perhaps do an adaptation of one of these.  I saw a couple which will go on my 'to hook' list.

I love this stag with a Greek key border but don't think I'd hook it.  Said to be hooked 19th century and from the collection of George and Connie Manger.  It measures 28.5 x 43.

Another Barbara E. Merry rug has surfaced and I've never seen this one before either.  Farmer doing something I'm not familiar with, a corn crib and cow enjoying the gathering season.

Love this dog rug which measures 24 x 42.  Check out the photo below and how the background is hooked.

To me the background looks like sisal rope which has been unraveled and strands used for hooking.

A deer hunter rug dated between 1880-1910 (32 x 77).  I love this rug but not the colors so much.  Guess that is a tree to the far left but looks more like a street light.

Promoted as a 19th century berry decoration in middle, the rug reminds me of  some linear hooked rugs done in a former Barb Carroll class except those rugs weren't as colorful and didn't have the berries.  Oh but I miss that woman.  This rug measures 25 x 42.

For you cat lovers, sorry no date or dimensions were found even when I clicked on the 'visit site'.

Quite an elaborate border for this cyclist.   Hooked late 19th to early 20th century (30 x 52).

Looks like this dog does hunt, humor intended.  Said to be hooked 19th century, dimensions are 28 x 42.

Not everyone's favorite animal when their gardens are prolific, but they do make a nice rug.

And the last rug is of a former famous sulky race horse named Smuggler.  Hooked 19th century (39 x 75).

Once again I'm having trouble with my Outlook email.  When purchased I received an email with the product key and kept that email on a flash drive.  But, DUH, my Outlook isn't working so can't read the freaking email to get the KEY.  It was just maybe a month ago I had issues where I needed to type in my password to open Outlook over and over again.  But now that doesn't seem to be working.  Guess they (Microsoft) wants me to buy an updated version.
