Cape May Rug show #4

OMG there were so many wonderful rugs and as I didn't get a photo of all of them asked my gal pal to send me ones I missed.

Halloween is not far away, here is Hildy to get you in the mood.  This is a design by Old Tattered Flag and hooked by Mary Aman.

 

Red Cabbages is an adaptation and hooked by Cindy Painter. 

Spring has Sprung is the name of the design by Bea Brock and hooked by Betty Ann Brittingham.

Alma Shelly did an adaptation of Van Gogh's the Postman. 

Sorry that I don't know the name of the design or hooker of the rug above.  So anyone reading this, if you know please let me know and I'll update the information.

Above is a design named Peacock at Moonlight designed and hooked by Cindy Painter.

Cranford Sampler is a rug designed and hooked by Debbie Walsh.

More photos from Cape May still coming.  Next rugs will show how same designs are hooked by different people. It is always fun to see how someone else hooks the same design.

This was the 30th year Rugs by the Sea had rug camp at The Chalfonte Hotel.  The hotel provided a cocktail party with hors d'oeuvres one evening before dinner.  Thank you Chalfonte staff, thank you Norma and Linda.  

Even at a distance you can see the group on the porch gathered toasting and celebrating. 

There are other guests staying at the Chalfonte so to ensure we had plenty of room for the 'hookers' the Chalfonte provided a little message for our benefit during the party. 

Happy Saturday and fall weather.

A Walk-about in Cape May

A wonderful rug camp RUGS BY THE SEA run by Norma and Linda is not the only fun thing about Cape May.  There is the beach, shopping and eye candy of gorgeous Victorian homes.  While lots of places are available I choose to stay at the Chalfonte, a Victorian Hotel where it all happens for me.

A walk-about the streets is a joy to see Victorian colorful homes and B&B's.  Here are just a few:

Love the proud display of the USA flags on the home above and their choices of exterior paint.

Here is a more subdued color choice of a Victorian home but still a display of our Country's colors proudly waving from their porch.

There are beautiful Victorian buildings wherever you look down any street, here is a row of them.  

This is the end of the tourist season so many of the homes are having repairs done to be ready for next year.  

And could be this is the time when the owners finally get to enjoy and relax themselves after all of us have left.

Next blog post will be round #2 of a rug show.  But, Kelley, this was for you since you said "...some of us don't get out much".  Hope you enjoyed.
