I’ve had this rug for awhile and I was browsing my own shop and thought, “This is perfect!”. Which led me to rearranging my entire Living room. This room has always been cause for grief due to the fact it’s long and narrow. Still have a ways to go to making it just the way I want it but thought I would share this wonderful rug. It’s handmade by the Zanafi tribe in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Handwoven with hand dyed wool on a traditional loom and takes 4-20 months to finish. “Each hand-knotted symbol has a meaning. Most often, rugs are handmade by women during inclement seasons when they are not able to go about freely. This is particularly true for tribes located in the Atlas mountains during winter months. Each spring when movement is again possible, tribes exchanged goods including rugs, through which the women were able to communicate with the other tribeswomen, telling them all the latest news and updates, such as marriages, births and deaths, among other happenings. These rugs not only functioned as a method of keeping tribal traditions alive, but also as diaries, journals and newsletters.” . . . #moroccan #zanafi #zanafirug #rugsofinstagram #cozycollectives #howwedwell #itsprobablythrifted #showkateyourvintage #bohemianhome #mysouthwesternbohome #modernSouthwest #Sodomino #thriftedhome #myvintagerevival #apartmenttherapy #mycuratedaesthetic #eclectichomemix #greathomestaketime #etsy #coloradovintage #vintagehomedecor (at Berthoud, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8O6YsrpIyW/?igshid=1bprbbc2p0yvo

My #52hikingchallenge2020 is not going as planned. Because I haven’t gone hiking. Between the holidays, family, and business, I just haven’t had the time. Wait, that’s not true? I haven’t made it a priority. And hiking for me is and should be a priority. It gives me balance to my life when everything is heavy with daily life. With that said, I’m planning some hikes for the next month! Woo hoo! Getting my gear together, looking at my app #AllTrails, and checking the weather in the high country. I would like to bring you along on my adventures and hope you enjoy them. Skål! . . . #coloradohiking #coloradohikingadventures #womenwhohike #over50fitness #hiking50 #rockymountains #boulderhikerchicks #Berthoudhikers #optoutside #outsidephotography (at Berthoud, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oApbHgH84/?igshid=55qcas1d1z2v

When my daughter was younger I made her this leather journal that covers spiral notebooks. Is it bad I’ve taken it back? Well borrowing sounds better.
