Common sense: meat from the cow is beef; meat from the sheep is not beef. Common sense common among alcoholics: champagne made in Champagne, France is champagne. Made anywhere else and it’s not champagne.
In the same way, bourbon distilled in your own backyard cannot be called bourbon, unless your backyard is in Kentucky, in which case it still cannot to be called bourbon because legally, that’s moonshine.
Persian Rugs too are authentic only if they are hand-knotted in Iran. When you purchase an oriental-looking carpet, check for:
the shape – it doesn’t have irregular edges; the color – there’s no discoloration in the threads mid-pattern ; the price – you bought it for a steal at a Turkish bazaar.
If your carpet rug meets one or more of the above, it’s a fake. Each rug takes months to make by hand, so make allowance for fatigue or failing eyesight, etc. The rug weaver is like us, only human.
He won’t necessarily weave a perfect rectangle. His dyes are made one batch at a time, so his red threads won’t necessarily have the same exact shade. And for the time and effort it takes to make one Persian rug, forget about getting a bargain. Unless you’re shopping at RugsUSA.com.
Authentic Persian rugs usually sell for the thousands. I don’t know how RugsUSA.com does it, but maybe it’s because they buy the rugs direct from the weavers in Iran. But whatever, all that matters is, we can get it cheaper.
They say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Well, I see beauty in the natural flaws of a Persian rug. What do you see?
For little people like myself, clothes that fit are slim pickings. Size “S” shirts hang on our shoulders like oversized coats. And even if we can make a pair of trousers hang fashionably from the hips, who we kidding? We don’t have enough leg to fill the length.
To find something to wear, I sometimes shop in the kids’ department. There’s no shame, really. Kids these days have a pretty mature sense of fashion, thanks in part to the celebrities they emulate. The Olsen twins for example.
Fresh and vibrant, nothing that says “I don’t wanna grow up”, the twins’ chic personal fashion sense has filtered down to the design of their merchandise like clothes, accessories, and since I’m commissioned to write about rugs…

Manhattan is doggie paradise. Everyone is a doting daddy or a loving mommy to one special kitty, or two. But it’s hard work picking up after these little ones. They don’t come with housekeeping abilities or sensibilities. I know because I’m godmother to Pascha and Congo, a couple of my friend’s cats.
Rugs especially, are hard to clean. They collect fur. And they collect way more than I feel safe to let my washing machine handle it. So unless a) you have plenty of time to pluck out every strand or b) you plan to live in a world of fur (my choice personally), make life easier and get an Out-Durable Braided Outdoor Rug.
With this rug, a heavy rain does the cleaning for you. After that, the sun dries it up quickly enough. And when it’s time to get a new rug, flip it over like an inside-out underwear. The other side’s as good as brand new.
Leaves, twigs, earth – stuff from the outdoors can also be easily rid of with this rug. It’s a comfortable something you can throw under your outdoor furniture. And because it’s designed for the outdoors, it gives your exterior décor a natural and relaxing feel.
Bottom line: this rug is great for areas with heavy foot/paw traffic. It’s made of Olefin fiber and thus, exceedingly durable. A quick check on the internet shows that Olefin is resistant to abrasion, color fading, stains and rot. So yeah, it’ll take all the abuse you can heap.
