I don't head to eBay often any more. It's just too easy to find things I MUST have. I'm not sure how/why I ended up there last week. I think it was to check out Primitive Junky's latest rug. Well . . . I stumbled upon a rug hooked by local hooker friend Karin. She hooks the bestest rugs. {{Look for her on eBay as seller primitivespirits.}} She hooked "Red Bird of PA" from a pattern from Saundra of Woodland Junction. I'm assuming Karin sold it last year on eBay and the buyer decided to sell it.
I think it's perfect in front of my baker's cupboard. (That's what the seller called it when I bought it many years ago. If you enlarge it, you will see holes in the middle of the door. I'm assuming that was for ventilation when cooling baked goods, though it wouldn't provide much.)
The flash has washed out the colors in this picture, but isn't she wonderful?
I did get the Tonya Robey - Mad Hen Primitives - rug hung that I bought a couple months ago. This is in my upstairs landing.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Hopefully I will have a Chicken Challenge update soon. I am ready to start on one of the hit and miss corners.
Pug hugs :)

Beautiful! I love them both.
ReplyDeleteYour rugs are pretty and yes, I understand how things on eBay suddenly becomes things you MUST have. Its always so shocking. And sometimes, only sometimes, things arrive in the mail and you go, why did I think I needed this so badly? I don't go there as much either. But those rugs? They look good!
ReplyDeleteThat is very pretty,. I like all of the colors in the rug.
ReplyDeleteOh MY Lauren - I really think you need to give us a tour of your entire home - I can only imagine how many other wonderful pieces of antique furniture you have in there. Perfectly displayed with all your rugs - YUM!
ReplyDeleteEverytime I see a little glimpse of your home I'm just i awe! Love both your new rugs, that red bird rug is awesome. I hooked that Tonya Robie pattern, but to have the original hooked for her! I want to order Red Bird from Sandra, just never got around to it. Seems like I am always stitching and don't find time for as much hooking.
ReplyDeleteHow do you hang your rugs?
I just read about the weekend snow storm, ugh, bad for you with snow, we might get ice, wintry mix is what they are saying.
love your rugs!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is very lucky to find that rug on ebay...It's gorgeous.You always have the perfect place for displaying your rugs.
