Quiet Corner Rug Show

We had another successful rug show on Saturday up in the Quiet Corner of Connecticut.  We love this show held at the Woodstock Fairgrounds.  It's a nice drive, meandering through the farm fields in the eastern part of the state, and the people are so helpful and sweet.  This year, Quiet Corner Rug Guild member Kathleen Herbert spoke about her collection of antique rugs, including several Waldoboro and Frost rugs, and even a couple of Grenfells.  I wanted to take them all home with me.

I am getting lazy about taking photographs, relying solely on my phone these days, so I apologize;  I have to get back in the swing of things.  Here are a few snapshots of the day, which was sunny and warm.  Summer is really here.

I just received a poster for the Quiet Corner Rug Show in Connecticut, now the only rug show in the state.  The Quiet Corner chapter of ATHA holds their show every other year at the Woodstock Fairgrounds.  This year it will be held on June 22, 9 am to 3 pm.  Kathleen Herbert will be speaking about antique rugs at 1 o'clock.  Refreshments will be available and there will be several vendors.  Admission is $5.  Be sure to save the date!
