Beige wool rug with navy and burgundy stripes 29in wide  x 12 feet long This beautiful and expertly woven rug is available for sale for $650 including shipping. You can email me at leck@midcoast.com or you can see it in my shop on Etsy just by clicking on the highlighted word. I created this rug by using wool  from the USA . A very good quality rug wool that does not shed it's fiber. Sturdy and long wearing wool spun evenly . It is just the right thickness to lay well on a floor. New floors I recommend a pad underneath . Warm and inviting it will look good in a hallway or used a stair runner. I take checks ,charge cards or paypal.

Celtic Knot in Iron by Scottish Lion

Celtic Knot in Iron adorning a mail box  This beautiful Celtic knot was created in iron and also the number" 13 "and bracket. Andy Leck , Scottish Lion hammered these curls and shaped this design. The house in the background is lovely too! A Maine Cape with Federal style trim. A classic in this neighborhood. Those are wonderfully kept wooden shutters painted a classic green. My hubby with his New England fishermen accent calls this green,"ma larky" green. Huh??? He has a dialect that is slowly disappearing. Our old connection to England  has been replaced with a "Cosmopolitan" dialect. When we leave Maine and go to Pa,MD or Va  to do shows it really stands out and folks have a hard time sometimes understanding him. Sometimes I even have to translate. Hee hee!
