Our Magic Carpet Has Arrived!
For those of you who looked at the pictures from our cruise, you may remember that we purchased a carpet (rug) in Turkey. They said it would take 6-8 weeks to get to us. Add in the holiday shipping delays, and it took a little longer than that. But we finally have it! This is what the package looked like when it arrived. I'll never be able to get it rolled up like that again.
They had me sign the rug at the store so that we would know it was really the rug we selected.
This is a wool on wool blend. Apparently it is mid-range quality, as far as Turkish rugs go. The cotton rugs are lower quality and the silk rugs are the best (obviously). The quality of a rug is measured in how many knots are tied per square inch. More knots = higher quality. We were told that it took someone 10 months to make our rug.

The rug is still in our living room so we can admire it for a few more days. We'll have to wait until we have a house before we can leave it out for good. Oh wait, we do have a house. Someone else just gets to live in it instead of us. But I'm not bitter...
It's beautiful! Well worth the wait! By the way, I don't think they're having the skijoring this year in Sun Valley. I have checked everywhere and I can't find a schedule for it. We will have to plan something elese....maybe in the S.V. off-season. It's more fun then because the town isn't quite so crowded. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting, it's so pretty! That's cool you sign it before you leave, very clever. Cant wait to come see it in person.
