VINTAGE RUG SHOW

A few new finds and some which appear to be up for sale again as I've seen them before.  But those too will be nice to revisit.  Cats poised in front of a bowl of flowers.  No date or size was provided. 

Below is a view of the back.  As you can see damage is in the center, on the sitting cat's ear and all of the border.  Such a shame.

I'd call the next one a geometric with dogs, 19th century and dimensions are 39 x 44.

An early floral dated 20th century but didn't indicate early or late 20th so is anyone's guess.  Measures 36 x 39.5.

A wonderful landscape measuring a whopping 6' x 7' circa 1930's.  The front.

A view of sections of the back of the beauty and you can see it has been enjoyed and has been repaired.

An abstract with hearts and central 8 point star circa 1930.  I found it but cannot admit to liking it at all.  

A lovely fox and no date was provided.  It is from the estate of Kathrine Pease (Kitty Sue) and dimensions are 19.5 x 37. 

Rug with a horse and dog hooked 19th century, 26 x 50.

Home Sweet Home.  And it is a beauty said to be hooked in the 1880's and measures 31 x 50.

Have made my huge green salad for dinner with my home grown sprouts on top.  Now back to pulling loops on the bird rug.  But I must get busy and steam junk yard dog and bind it as I'd like to take it to Cape May in September.

My Dog Shadow

Shadow is a German Shepherd Rottweiler mix but I have no clue which part of her is Rottweiler unless it is the floppy ears.  She is a wired and ready-to-go Shepherd from first thing in the morning until bedtime.  Which makes me understand why police use them ~ because they need something to do.

Shadow is 9 years old but acts like a 2 year old pup.  She could have easily been taught to be a working dog with the disabled, and sometimes I think I should have spent more time with her so she'd do my laundry tee hee, kidding.  But she does have a very abundant vocabulary.  If I say that I am going to fill up the bird feeders she leads the way to the garage is since that is where I keep the black oil seeds.  If I comment that I'm going to hang clothes outside she leads the way to the laundry room; and, if I say that I'm going to clean out the fish pond filter she heads straight to the back door.  Of course there are many other words that she knows and will respond accordingly. 

However, sometimes when I am just talking and she isn't quite sure of what those words are, she will tilt her head and jerk it back and forth as if one ear could understand better than the other.  That is when she is the cutest and I just break out in laughter.

She certainly does keep me entertained and she is a great companion to have around.  Hopefully she will live to a ripe old age as her mother (a Shepherd) did because she lived to be about 15 years of age.
