So I have been looking for a rug to put in my new apartment. I saw this rug store that was going out of business. So I went in earlier this week and totally flashed on this beautiful blue rug, from Nepal, hand-made (see photo with the beautiful flowers sent to me by Damon, with the fire place in the background).
Anyway, many of you know that I am not the materialistic type and therefore hardly ever buy something like furniture and so forth. But this rug totally called my name (but the price tag didn't for sure). The reason for the shop to go out of business is the owner is retiring after being in the business for 55 years - he is now 70. So he gave me a good price. (So I though, what the heck....for once, I will ship something with me when I move! Plus I need a nice fluffy rug). And he tells me that he will deliver it the following day with this guy that comes and help out in the afternoon. I obviously warn him that I live on the 4th floor and no elevator.
So Friday arrives, and the shop owner shows up with his friend (who also happen to be 70) - so can you just imagine my face when those two guys show up to deliver my heavy rug, carrying it up 4th floor - I was praying that neither of them suffered a heart attack on the way to my apartment.
Once the rug delivered, they decided to check out my apartment, opening doors, checking my kitchen closets (and noticed all the bio food that I bought)! I felt like saying: "are you planning on moving in?. You got to love older people sometimes.
Anyway, the rug dealer was over the moon because such a nice lady (i.e yours truly) had given such a nice home to such a great rug!.
