Vintage Blue & Pink Wool Rug


When I spotted this blue & pink floral rug at an estate sale last week end,  I couldn't get it rolled up and loaded in the car fast enough!
I loved all the beautiful pastel colors....and knew it would be perfect for the sun room.
The little lady that it belonged to was having a living estate sale...she was so sweet and glad to see that it was going to a loving home.  She was moving to a assisted living home and couldn't take many of her things with her.   She let me have it for $50, which I thought was a great  price as the rug is in excellent condition and doesn't have any stains or worn places!    

I moved the rug that was in the sun room to the family room....
I got this burgandy  rug at a yard sale last summer for $20.
Here is the pink rug that was in the sun room before the burgandy one....boy....I move those rugs around don't I???

The pink rug from the sun room went to the entry way.   
I love our new rug!

The rug looks so nice! What a find. Thank you for sharing your talents. (Sorry about the above comment. There were a few spelling mistakes.)

    Blessings to you,

  16. Penny, my mom has almost the exact same rug and I can't believe the amazing price you snagged this for - wow! It looks perfect in your room! Thanks, as always, for sharing at Best of the Weekend - hope you have happy Saturday and a wonderful weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  17. What a perfect addition to your room…beautiful! I too had this same rug, but in a different color..it was damaged in a water leak in our home and insurance paid us 799.00 to replace it…you really did score on this rug!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Oh My, I love it all and I can't decide which rug I love the best....that pink one that you moved to the entry hall,keeps calling my name! Beautiful!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Cindy dear, had that lovely rug been sage green, I would have arm wrestled you for it! That is if I could have caught you. It sounds exactly how I felt when I found and purchased my Prelude sterling silver flatware set. Got it for $10 and didn't know what I had until I looked it up on the computer. It was worth $4100.00 and that was without the serving spoons and other pieces..AND all in a lovely chest. Can you see I am comforting myself because I have never found such a fantastic rug at a yard sale?? :) Good for you! I haven't been going lately..but I will again soon...

    ReplyDelete
  20. Great having you at Seasonal Sundays.
