Prints of the Dog Team Tavern are now available. The photo measures 14” w x 11” h, with a black 1/4 inch around each side so that you won't lose any of the rug when framed. The rug was professionally photographed and printed by a reputable, local photo source on high quality Epson archival paper, luster surface. The ink that’s used is archival pigment ink.
$42.50 for each, which includes shipping, sent rolled in a tube to avoid any creasing.

A snowy morning in NJ. A tip for cleaning hooked rugs: After a dry, powdery snowfall, take your rug outside. Place it right side down in the snow. Sprinkle a bit of snow over the rug and gently brush back and forth with a broom. You'll be amazed by the amount of dirt left behind on the snow when you pick up the rug. The rug colors will be brighter. I don't know why this happens...it's just a little miracle. Take the rug into the house, and let it dry naturally. Thank you Margaret Siano.
