I love the blanket and I’m glad you feel a warm hug, as I do when I wear Omi’s sweater! Too bad about the camera, but well worth it. Wonderful picture of the eagle and the house. I’ll make a point of coming to this site more, as I do appreciate the pictures and comments. Love you Jo, Mom.
Hello I saw your part in your blog about finding the congoleum flooring! I was wondering if you knew if these rugs had asbestos in them or not. I was judging on the fact that you dragged it outside it probably didn’t? We have some in our house and we are terrified that we took some out already! If you know can you please let me know? Thanks very much!
My understanding is that the original cork & burlap Congoleum art rugs are free of asbestos, and that the asbestos didn’t come into the picture until they started using vinyl to make their flooring, which looks like it really started in earnest in the 40s & 50s. Ours is from 1921, so we knew we were safe.
