I am so mad at myself for not buying a rug when I was in Istanbul, but I didn&#39;t do well with their high-pressure sales tactics. (I&#39;m the kind of person who deliberates for 20 minutes abt whether to buy a $20 shirt at Banana Republic.) But now I am so in love with those kinds of rugs that I am going to buy one here at home...Traveloggedhttp://www.travelogged.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066081788000758170.post-6657129318586706842009-07-13T18:26:27.018-04:002009-07-13T18:26:27.018-04:00Carpets like this are real piece of art... to be enjoyed and appreciated... and you bought a beautiful one as well!!Mandarine D'Italiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00501206367872718944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066081788000758170.post-31741431368261438432009-07-13T17:54:40.372-04:002009-07-13T17:54:40.372-04:00i love your blog. visit mine please at www.instantlyruby.blogspot.com.

The nice part about a good quality hand-knotted Persian rug is that they last forever and generally mature very handsomely!
