Persian Conversion

Posted on 19:20 by kumar
Ok, this may not be completely grunge queen as my new Visa card financed this purchase, but hey, the deal was too good to be had and I've always wanted a blue Persian rug. This one was found in a shop on Broadview Ave. and it's around 100 years old. My folks have a blue Persian rug of a different blue hue, and I was really wanting a blue one to solidify that emotional connection for me ... but blue is hard to find, and blues and pinks in combination are especially rare. All I can say is I've got good shopping Karma to have found this one with kudos to shop owner Nima. I'm in the process of translating this rug, from Maymeh, Iran - I love that it tells a story. My cat Dag, who you see in this pic, loves it too - so much so he's scratching it whenever he can! Check out www.pealac.com - you really must go to the store, though. Rugs are 50 percent off until end of March.

When Dag isn't hairing up and scratching the rug he's lounging on my green velvet chair with his partner in crime, Dinky. I've hardly had a chance to park my butt on the damn thing - my kitties are like nosy biddies: every time something new comes in they commandeer it! Here's hoping the novelty wears off soon ....
