About this blog

First let me say how much I have enjoyed your blogged rug meetings.  Really fascinating and instructive.  A great service…and entry into the collector’s world.”

This is a site reflecting my interest in textiles. It does not pretend to be “authoritative” in any way. Instead, it will devote itself to the enjoyment of textiles, that collectors like me experience.

Mostly posts will be longer (for example, when I present a virtual version of some rug and textile program I have attended). But sometimes the posts will be short comments alone or supplemented with an image or two of a particular piece.

The posts I have made most recently are listed in the sidebar to the right of this text. At the moment these same posts are also listed in the archives. Eventually, you will be able to view earlier posts not visible in the “most recent” listing by examining the archives.

Although this blog will mostly center on sharing information, I will also, occasionally, offer rugs and textiles for sale here.

Regards,
