ACCENT ON RUGS

This rug was a wedding gift to my parents over 50 years ago. It is approx. 6x8', brilliant blue, and worn. Years ago, I found it, balled up ready for the garbage pick up, and asked instead if I could have it, as I remember playing on it in my parents' bedroom as a child. Years after that, a woman I had done some work for told me that it was valuable, and I should have it appraised. She owned an imported carpet store, so I took her advice and found that while it won't allow me to retire, it is valuable and now takes an honored place by the front door. Family history, value and beauty, it is one of my favorite things.....and, I cannot imagine the hand work that went into it!
