game on…how much?
Okay, Angela, you got it goin’ on girlfriend for guessing the shovel with the stupendous plastic (no less) floral arrangement! Once I picked myself up off the floor…through watery eyes and laughter…the only thing I could think to say was: you can’t be serious!
Angela gets FIVE and everybody else gets ONE in the hat!
Thanks for your comments…it was a tough one! They ALL qualified!
Game #4 in the big *adventure* give-away is multiple choice! My personal favorite from my school days!
So, have you ever seen a penny rug? I found a dealer the other day that had some fabulous penny rugs! I don’t see them too often and I stood there mesmerized by one in particular….pink and gray…which were the colors I happened to be wearing that day!
First I’ll give you a little background…not that I know anything about them…I just did the Google thing and learned a fact or two myself!
They were made around the time of the Civil War from scraps of wool or felted wool from old clothing, blankets and hats. They used coins as templates, thus the name! They weren’t made to be actual rugs, but rather used as decorative coverings for beds, tables, dressers and mantles. Sometimes they were made into pillows or used as wall hangings. Do I sound like an encyclopedia?
cool…huh?
You get to guess how much this one cost! Sadly, in my awe, I only snapped one picture, but it’ll do…

Your choices:
A. $100 – $200
B. $201 – $300
C. $301 – $400
D. $401 – $500
E. more than $500
It was a beauty! Get Ready…Get Set…Go! Guess…Now!

Careful. I can’t tell you how many times today we have said “slaw down“! In just a few short hours it became part of our vocabulary and I have no doubt it will be for the ages!

Whoo hoo! Thanks Janet!
I’m going to guess– E. over $500. It depends on the size of the quilt but that’s a heckuva lot of blanket stitching!

How cool is that, I never knew anything about a penny rug, but I do now!!!
I have no clue, but I’ll go with C $301 to 400

Well good grief…I must be living under a rock. You know how much I love contests and I’m missing all the fun!
You didn’t mention the size, condition or age, but these can get pretty pricey. I’m gonna assume the dealer knew what they had and guess E.
Debbie
P.S. I’ll get all caught up today on what y’all are up to…just slaw down so I can catch up!

I’ll say “D”
August 8th, 2010 at 11:00 am
I know this can’t possibly be correct, but since no one else picked it, I’ll say A.
August 8th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
I’ll take a stab and say C.
I did know the story of penny rugs and I love them. I even considered trying my hand at making one but eeessshhhh A LOT OF WORK!
August 8th, 2010 at 6:30 pm
My Guess is over $500.00
August 8th, 2010 at 7:47 pm
