Early Rug Statement

Happy Saturday everyone!

It will be a Summery one here in our neck of the woods.

Temps reaching the high 80's.

Thunderstorms rolled in last evening 

as Bob and I were coming home from a nice 

Italian dinner out.

Lasagna and Ravioli was what we chose.

Salad and Foccacia bread as well.

It is a quaint small town restaurant that we love.

I finally had the chance to place this early rug up.

Early rugs were made out of necessity.

Cut from strips of old clothes that were no longer fit to wear.

Flower motifs and animals were all the rage back then.

I loved how the maker of this one chose to add 

an additional diamond motif in black wool all around.

There was also a homespun patch on the back.

There is some damage, but to me that just adds

to the character of it.

I can only imagine how many boots or feet touched

{walked} on this beauty.

Was it placed at a the foot of a bed?

Or at the entrance to a door? 

I thought of placing it inside the doorway of our bedroom.

But then I remembered I have kitties in our home.

They love to race around the house at times.

I would have to re-arrange the rug each day,

if I left it on the floor. LOL

I chose instead to hang it on the wall.

It goes well with the colors in our bedroom.

Our Americana bedroom.

Which got me to thinking.

I need to add some Americana in here soon.

Stay tuned.

My mind is whirling with ideas.

Sometimes that's a scary thing...for Bob anyway.

See he is the one who has to put up with my constant

re-arranging of things. ;-)

Do any of you have this problem?

Well they say if you stand still, you die.

So I chose to move forward....

Rug Statement Blessings To All!
