Yesterday I received a text from my good friend, Metin. He was the rug dealer in Turkey. His emporium delivered a beautiful show and of course, soon delivered a beautiful rug to our home in Colorado.
Now, I was not looking for a rug, had no need for a rug, but opted to support the local economy. Metin called yesterday! He’s in town plying his wares with no luck in the interior design field of Denver. He sent a lovely, lengthy text. I honestly felt like having coffee with him just to have some conversation other than, “What are we doing for dinner?” What could it hurt?
We don’t need another rug as vacuuming is not a favorite in my wheel-well of cleaning. (Is that a word?) However if you need a fine Turkish rug, I have his name and number. Give me a jingle and we’ll have coffee together. Maybe Turkish tea! Now that would be worth it.
I could sell Metin some Turkish rugs……
