In the Halloween Spirit Today! The Undercoverruglover was Undercover!

Notice the rugs in the background!  Here to serve you, even if undercover!  Many beautiful rugs in stock now.  Taking some time off after the third week in December so if you are thinking about a rug purchase, come and see me or give a call soon!  Hope you all enjoyed Halloween.  I did.  Even ate a piece of pumpkin cake which is pretty shocking.  Usually its salads, vegetables and all things nutritious.  Good news is I lived.   I liked having purple hair.  A new look of sorts.  :)

Paradise Oriental Rugs, on the WOLF Radio.

I have run numerous radio ads over the years and just recently completed this one.  Just thought I would share.   Here's the link to hear it online.  http://www.paradiseorientalrugs.com/radio_ads/paradise_oriental_rugs_wolf_ad_july_2013.mp3

It has been running on the WOLF here in Sonoma County and we will be back on the air in a few days.    It's a great new station if you have not already heard it and you can listen online.  102.7 FM
 The Wolf Radio. Check it out!

I mention in my ad that we do sell our rugs "on an approval" basis and that is also true for any rugs we ship out of state.  If you have not yet had a look at my web site, all my inventory is there.  Hope to hear from you!  Penny Krieger

Symbols and Colors used in Persian Rugs.

This is a great article on symbols and their meanings used in Persian rugs by Reza T. Ahmadi.  He also goes into detail about the significance of the colors.  Quite fascinating.  I did not know that the peacock represented divine protection or that the often used Cypress tree symbolizes life after death.
