Moving Americana and moving music

Hooked rug center

(Last part first, while working on this blog entry, the classical station on grooveshark.com offered this amazing, hauntingly otherworldly piece by JS Bach:

 "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." Hallelujah.)

OK, so listening to the sighs of heaven while dabbling in the mundane, remember this charming old hooked wool rug? It's at $195 now. (Sold later on 1/22/2011) We've set it up as a wall hanging, which I think works better, given its age.

I made a quick video of it for a long-distance customer; if you'd like to see my first youtube posting, here it is:

I have a lot to learn about making videos. This one is too fast and shaky. I was trying to let the shopper see for himself the combination of wear vs. beauty in this piece of Americana.

The stills give a better idea. See our flickr set, "Vintage Americana wool hooked rug".
