A PRESENT TO US FROM US

HAPPY BIRTHDAYS, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO US!

Years ago, we stopped buying each other gifts on special occasions.  We find more joy in buying together something special.  Our birthdays are in November and December, so in some years we splurge on a three-in-one gift.

This year we bought a new/old hand-knotted wool rug.

This year I suppose it was more of a present for me than Bob, as I have had my eye on it in a local antique store forever!    

We've lived with it for almost two months now, and are thrilled with the way it brightens up our living room.  The colors are luscious!
