Take Me On a Magic Carpet Ride
One of the most amazing finds that I am having shipped from San Francisco was a small 6x9 Turkish rug. I had seen a similar one hanging in the store at Thanksgiving but was never able to inquire about it. The one I chose will look so nice in my living and bring a warm feeling to the room. It's about fifty years old and has very muted colors - almost completely beige with brown accents. I'll take a picture as soon as it arrives. We had such a good time buying it. The owners son and nephew who were in high school, were so enthusiastic and just kept unrolling more rugs for us to look at. I told the owner that I hoped to go to Turkey this summer and he said to be sure to let him know and he would give me names of friends and family that I can look up while I am there. I would love to do that. Meeting people while you are traveling is always a plus to me. Getting off the tourist track and seeing how life is lived. This photo looks more like my floors right now and I look forward to a soft and beautiful rug.
