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.

Oldies but Goodies

Sure haven't put many steps on my Fitbit during this sub-freezing arctic air.  Instead I've been sitting on my butt hooking, or sitting in front of the computer listing items on eBay or perusing old rugs.  So it's time to share some oldies but goodies.

This one is definitely on my 'to hook' list as I already have the pattern.  It is an early Mennonite Farm scene from 1900s.   

A Bulldog hooked rug from Pine Bush, NY measures 21 x 34.

A Deer with neutral colored hit and miss border, and background I so love.

The below rug was purportedly hooked by H. Shull's mother to commemorate his birthday in Erwinna, PA.  Late 19th century measuring 23 1/2 X 43.

Early 20th century lion measuring 30 x 46..

A more colorful rug is this monochromatic floral.  I've never hooked a rug with a red background before and would like to do that sometime.

A Rooster circa 1920 from Williamsburg, VA, wool on burlap measuring 22 x 32.

An oval cat and dog rug.

Just checked the outside temperature and it is a whopping 37* Fahrenheit.  So think I'll walk the half mile down to get my mail (which I didn't get yesterday) and the half mile back.  Gotta get off this butt!!!
