Deb found a rug at MCC Connections (is that the correct name?) for that spot in front of my sink! She texted pictures from the store of the choices, colors and sizes, etc. I chose the brown one over a white one, because it's going to take a lot of abuse, abuse a white one could never take and come out lookin' good! But, the brown one looks so nice against the wood floor, much nicer than one with a lot of white in it would have..don't you think?
It was $37.00, good price! Then Deb mentioned it was so soft...corduroy... and I thought, "what? It's corduroy and it cost $37.00?" I remembered seeing braided corduroy rugs during my search on the www, and I remembered them costing so much more. So, I did another quickie search and found one of comparable size, hand braided, brown corduroy, for...... $450.00!! This rug was at Etsy, from a place called fiveforty, and truthfully- I think she's dreaming! And it is a woven rug, which I guess is different from braided, but $450.00?!.
A got a real Red Tag Special, and I love it! Thanks Deb!

Stuart, our new puppy, also came to our house the same weekend as the rug. Stuart chews on everything...he has chewed the rug, but hasn't left any permanent marks. On this day it's cold and raining and they are driving me nuts! Usually we would be outside going on a walk or playing catch...they have been following me everywhere looking at me like this! Stuie's right ear is trying to stand up, soon they should both be up, like his big brother's.
The rug looks so blue in the first picture! The rug is woven. Connections always has one person cutting fabrics into strips, another sewing them together, and another person sitting at the loom. And I love that Stuie has one ear standing up!
