RUG SHOW ~ OLDIES BUT GOODIES

Will start off with a beautiful American Eagle rug.  Sadly I couldn't find a date or dimensions but safe to say it is old.  That second star is hard to see at first.

I like this rug below too, love the earthy colors; again no age or dimensions provided.

Noticed the next rug had all the symbols of being a wedding rug ~ a bouquet border, love birds surrounded by a ring (circle) and heart which joins them together.  No age but measures 37 x 44.

When I see pinwheels, it always reminds me of my youth walking on the boardwalk of Rehoboth Beach, DE.   Rug dated late 19th to early 20th century (19.5 x 35).

A pair of ducks dated 1900 (26.5 x 48).  Am wondering if those are 4 pots in the corners and if the designer/hooker decided to get a little artsy with the weaving in and out of color with border.  

Perhaps a beloved hunting dog, hooked early 20th century measuring 24 x 43.

What's a rug show without a horse?  If I'd drawn and hooked it, the rectangle would be horizontal not vertical; and the horse bigger to fill up the space.

A lot of activity going on in the village, but don't think it is old.  

And a cat rug for good measure.  No information on this one either.

Happy day to everyone.  Will do a little outside work in the morning then make a couple minor changes to my eagle rug.

IT'S RUG SHOW TIME AGAIN

Not mine, but vintage and antique rugs.  Up first is a horse, circa 1900 with dimensions of 28.5 x 35.5.

Frankly I've many more horse rugs, so here's another.  This one is still listed for sale.  No date provided.

Grey horses, no information on this either.  And I've more horses on my flash drive but will not bore you with more this show.

A naive hooked lion, circa 1890-1930 from Barbara Johnson collection.  Dimensions are 28 x 38.5.

Two cats playing with a red ball of yarn.  Have no info on date or dimensions.

A geometric with pinwheel center hooked early 20th century and from Lancaster county, PA.  Measures 25 x 44.5.

Another geometric, this one measures 27 x 38 but have no date hooked as none was provided by the auction company.

Below is a half oval floral, could be a rug at a doorway or chair pad.  No date or dimensions.

A dog hooked early 20th century measuring 23 x 46.

Wish I had some information on the patriotic rug below.  It is naive and primitive and appears old, but cannot confirm that since there was no information.  Hope some of you are thinking about hooking a patriotic rug in celebration of America's 250th Birthday, it would be such a memorable heirloom for the family.  

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.  It's supposed to rain here all weekend, and have already had rain showers this afternoon once I got the grass cut...or at least most of it.

RUG SHOW TIME

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.

RUG SHOW TYME

I'm still working on the geo/floral so there's nothing new on my frame.  Haven't made any wonderful purchases to share so I'm still scrolling thru antique rug photos looking for the next one for 2026.  The rug below I saw August this year and sadly no information was provided about it.  Appears to be a dog on top of the 2nd structure from the left.

Gagetown buck and deer at Farm pond in winter.  No date was provided but it measures 38 x 40.  

Definitely not my cup of tea, is this rug of moon shapes and stars.  Description says it is a yarn sewn rug circa 1900.  Hey, only reporting what the auction house said.

This next one is kinda cute and cozy.  Would be an easy draw and hook for winter.  Again no info.

Love this rug and may have even posted it before, but saw it and decided to put it in show.  Just look at that blotchy background, oh my!

Here's something for you chicken loving folks.  The red roosters rug below also had no info provided but it sure does look old to me.  

And another for you folks, a white rooster.  Again no date or dimensions.

And this one below just might make the cut for my next shiny bauble.  Does anyone know anything about this rug?  I'm thinking it is a legit design to hook and just might do it.  But you know how fickle I am and just might change my mind once the geo floral is done and before this one is drawn.  

Happy hooking everyone.

RUG SHOW

Have a few newly found rugs for sale some old, some not so old and one advertised as old but will let you be the judge of that.  You can find that one further down in this post.  But first, horses, hearts and stars said to be hooked late 19th to early 20th century measuring 24 x 39.5.

Rabbits and dog with no date or dimensions offered.  Kinda cute and wish there had been a better, cleaner photo.

Roosters rug with scrolls in corners and blocks background dated 19th century.  Dimensions are 31 x 46.

Another geometric of blocks hooked early 1900's (16 x 22).

I saved the rug photo below early March and since it wasn't a favorite didn't show it.  Am tired of looking at it so thought I show it to you then move it to the other folder.  Perhaps I'd like it better if it was just one basket of flowers because it looks more like a placemat or serving tray to me.  Guess the hooker wanted it to have the same view either way you walked into and out of the room or hall.  

Not a rug but would make a wonderful one; it's an 18th century embroidered wallet.

Oh I love this abstract geometric!  Dimensions are 39 x 44 and hooked late 19th century.  It's probably the dirty colors which attract me.

And now, this is the one I spoke of early in the post.  What first caught my attention was the listing which said it was a 1908 hooked rug.  Well that's right up my alley and got my eyes and ears perked up.  Then I saw the photo.

Upon looking at it more critically doubted it was from 1908 despite the seller stating it was and "08" hooked in the rug.  So I contacted the seller telling her I was a hooker and thought she may have assumed incorrectly and the date might actually indicate it was hooked 2008.  Then she returned a reply saying I was wrong.  So you be the judge as there are a lot of more experienced rug hookers who read my blog and perhaps you know better than me.  You can see the listing HERE.  Does that look like a rug hooked in 1908 with cotton seam binding and wool yarn whipped edge?  And do you know a hooker with the initials JC?

That's all I got for tonight.  Think temps are gonna cool down a little and the local weatherman said we just might have an early fall.

Antique Rugs

Yeah, it's that time again.  Not a whole lot more accomplished on Be Goode so will give you some rug pictures to entertain you.  The first two rugs should give Kelley a treat, particularly the second one, I like that myself.

The border blocks are certainly adding color to the otherwise black and white rug.

A duck rug with a splash of color.  Sure do like that blotchy 'use what I've got' background.

I've never had the inclination to hook a schooner yet you see them on auction sites often.

I would, however, Like to hook the antique Moby Dick rug.

This is the same rug as above but different lighting.

The horse design below is probably an E.S. Frost Design.

OMG would you look at this yarn sewn rug below?  Totally awesome and cannot fathom the work and hours involved in the process.

A soft Hen and Chicks hooked piece which I think is brilliantly done to show a landscape using very little color but neutral values.  

Okay kids, time for me to eat and get hooking more on my rug.  I need the distraction from the thought of the pending hurricane as well as my cataract surgery on Monday.  But, will the hurricane be here Monday and delay surgery and extend the angst?

Today was a wonderfully mild and cool fall day.  Ben and I enjoyed our walks immensely.  

Have a great evening.
