Family Gatherings ...They're Coming!

They're coming, it's time. All those lively characters who make up your family unit are about to gather, together, at your house!

There is a HUGE misconception out there that Persian Rugs are to be tip-toed around and not placed in heavy traffic areas for fear of... wear and tear. Not only are these Persian rugs naturally stain resistant, but historically, these very same Persian rugs have been used to cover the dirt floors of nomadic tribes tents where the whole family (extended included) gathered daily, not just for special occasions!

We come full circle - yes, it was your idea, and yes it seemed like a warm and loving thing to do at the time BUT it doesn't mean that pre-planning panic isn't starting to creep up on you.
Fear not. Even the most savvy host experiences that feeling of trepidation and
"I know I'm forgetting something"!

The great thing about family is that everyone wants to help out - let them - they really do want to!! Sharing the food responsibilities allows everyone to enjoy each other's company a little more freely and even creates a level of anticipation towards dinner and what everyone brought.

With your stress level lowered you have more time to panic about your guests impending arrival like:
- Spilly Talker Uncle Willy, a truly gentle soul who speaks with his hands regardless if there is anything in them at the time or not.
- Grubby Hands Tommy, whose parents can't believe how adorable he is sitting there watching TV in your living room after a little fresh air and dirt digging in the back yard aaargh!
- Fifi, Auntie Linda's Babyyy!! Couldn't possibly leave little poopsie woopsie Fifi Wifi alone in the house ALL afternoon!!!
- Baby Suzie, the adorable crawling, drooling, everything goes into her mouth niece
- Future Soccer Super Star Cousin Alex, not quite grasping the concept of "TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF" no matter how many times you ask him!

These depictions are purely fictional however I'm sure everyone can relate in one form or another! You have other things to worry about don't even give a second thought to "wearing out" your Persian rug.

For generations a select few have enjoyed the timeless beauty of Persian Rugs.
