There was a time I was not into prints and patterns and woven-ness as much as I am now. It was basically floral print (occasionally of the old-lady tapestry variety) or bust. But after a temporary blogging gig for an interior designer who was very well traveled and into Moroccan prints and colors, I began to do my research. Kilim textiles, often Turkish or Moroccan, are my new obsession. I tend to go for patterns a bit more muted with feminine colors, but the brighter ones (like the vintage Turkish rug-turned cushion from Sister Golden or the bright striped bohemian version found on Etsy, also cut from old kilim that somehow came up while searching pastel) catch my eye every now and then, and would make perf statement pieces. #4 might have to come with me to the new apartment. With moving in a couple weeks and turning twenty five this Friday, I’ve been justifying slightly too many presents for myself lately. After a few investments I think I’ll be content resume my thrift-only type of shopping trips.
In other news, Jennifer and I are having a springy giveaway over on The Blog Market today! Head to the site for details and to enter.
