Be Careful What You Wish For! Oriental Rug Gallery Update! Paradise Oriental Rugs, Santa Rosa, CA

Six months ago I was running a SALE and closing my retail gallery after many years. Not "going out of business" but just running a great sale so all my clients from the last 20 years of doing business in Sonoma County could get a good deal on a rug before I moved my gallery to my home studio. Believe me, I worked non-stop those last few months before I closed my Sebastopol Gallery. I was in the shop every day and to ensure I had enough rugs for anyone and everyone...when the sales really started coming to life, I purchased additional rugs and runners which always takes time and energy.

It was a great time for me as I saw many former clients reappear and of course I love selling rugs and buying rugs so I was in my element. At the same time, I had a number of social and personal demands on my plate as well as a household to run. As we moved into the final stages of the closing sale, I repeatedly thought, "I just need some time off. I just need a break!" Be careful what you wish for! For the first time in over 20 years, I have not worked, formally for a little over two months!

Oh my. Did I get a break? A break beyond all breaks. I am so ready to work, show rugs, open and close rugs, discuss rugs, clarify, talk about, and enlighten anyone and everyone that might be interested in a rug purchase I might pop! Please don't be overwhelmed, I just am a person that loves to work at my chosen profession.

I am now OPEN for business...on an appointment basis in Santa Rosa, California, and also available to ship rugs out of state. All recommended protocols in place.

If you have any concerns, please give me a call and we can discuss. 707-823-3355 This is my business line. If you are interested in an appointment, just call me directly on my cell: 707-536-5022.
Just for the record, I am currently NOT PURCHASING rugs from individuals unless the rug is exceptional, an antique and something you KNOW is in keeping with the types of rugs I sell.

I hope each and every one of you that might be reading is doing well. This has been a very trying time for all of us but this too shall pass.

If you are in the market for a beautiful rug I still have an incredible selection of good quality Persian and Afghan rugs and I would love to hear from you!

Currently running a SALE with 20% off all rugs! 
                  SALE ends June 30th.

Sincerely,

Penny Krieger, owner
