New Area Rug & Give Away Update!!

Happy Monday!!  The new area rug arrived....it's taking me a few days to get used to it, as it's much larger....with different colours & pattern....

Those who have seen it..like it & have given great compliments....

I am not one to be indecisive or second guess myself....and  I welcome change....so I'm certain I will be happy with my decision...


It wasn't too difficult to put down..,...it is heavy (weighing about 140 pounds or so) & UPS brought it as far as the front entry.....we brought it up four steps,  wrangled it into the family room, unwrapped it and slid furniture back & forth....until we had it down...


It's wool....very thick & soft to walk on...and one thing I know about wool rugs....they are durable and don't show signs of wear.  I've read reviews where shedding can be an issue in the beginning...but I've never experienced shedding to any degree....

It's been cold here the last few days.....a rainfall warning on the weekend came in snow, just a fresh dusting.  I've been putting together a little Easter basket for grand baby here....and cards & gift cards for my girls in Nova Scotia....


I received an early birthday gift from daughter in Nova Scotia....


She & I had chuckled after seeing this mug....and she felt I needed to have it!  It just makes me smile....


And I mentioned in my last post....in honour of my March birthday month....I'm having a give away!  It will be open only to readers located in Canada and the US....(as shipping costs can be outrageous)!  

The give away will begin Monday, March 4 and close Friday, March 15.   To enter...just leave a comment on a post during that time!  That's it!  I'll share photo of the give away on March 4 and announce the winner Monday, March 18, 2024.   Just a little thank you to hose who read & follow along on my blog....a little appreciation from me to you!!

Join me as I share later today over at https://betweennapsontheporch.net/ for Metamorphis Monday and  the following link parties on Tuesday....https://perfectlyimperfect-lwl.com/ for Happy Hearts and Home, https://www.myslicesoflife.com/ for Talk About It Tuesdays and https://www.astrollthrulife.net/ for Inspire Me Tuesday!  Show these amazing bloggers some love and support!

Hope you have an amazing day and until next time....

  1. Hang in there. You'll probably love the new rug. I replaced wall to wall in my upstairs late last fall. Very neutral "tweedy" carpet was replaced with (soft) multicolor lightly patterned design. I looked at it and actually felt sick. I now love it and it reads neutral to me. I think our brain needs to adjust to what our eyes are seeing and maybe give up the comparison to old. That's my totally nonscientific take on it.

  2. Charlotte, I think the new rug looks great! It's a good match with the walls, and the other furniture and decor in your room pull all the colors in it together. I bet it looks fabulous in person! Glad the birthday mug has you laughing lol. Happy upcoming birthday and take care over there - spring is coming - I just know it!!
