New Arrivals - Rugs!

Fuat and his brother...the suppliers from Van
Pin It



Rug dealers are a special breed. However, so are those of us buying them!  With each trip to Turkey I repeat ...I will not buy rugs, I will not buy rugs, I will not buy rugs. I am in control! Luckily for you, this trip was a perfect example of my lack of control for these beautiful creatures. I am a sucker for the crafts I fear will disappear as time goes by – the camel bag, the baby cradle cover, etc. 

Check out the newest rugs in the collection below. It's just a small sampling of what I brought back so you'll have to check the shop to see them all. I fell in love with the new colors, the mix of techniques, and the asymmetry of the designs. Such great workmanship!

To Market

Saturday seems to be the day most of us head to whatever farmers' market is nearby. I never have a list. Whatever looks good, local and fresh is what I buy.

Today, while cruising on facebook, I noticed a beautiful picture that a friend took of her bounty. The bowl, filled with yummy fruit and veggies from The City Market, rests on an Ikat runner from the loaded trunk.
