The Souk Indigo/Cream Rug by Thomas Paul

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

Souk_Indigo-Cream

A high quality rug that’s won’t break the budget —

Thomas Paul’s concept is simple: mix unrelated historic design styles - art nouveu, 60’s pop art, 70’s minimalism, 18th century baroque, and reinterpret these disparate periods into a unique style with a coordinated color palette that works with today’s interiors.

The rugs featured in this collection are all high quality New Zealand wool with the finest construction available. New Zealand wool is considered to be the premium level wool that combines and balances the maximum sheen with highest longevity.

  • Materials: Tufted Pile 100% New Zealand Wool
  • Sizes Available: 2.5′ x 7′ Runner, 3′x5′, 5′x8′, 8′x11′, and 8′ Round

    SP08_184087_W

    Alright, is less than three weeks to Christmas and you still haven’t found the perfect gift for your mom-in-law?

    How about this Year of the Seeds packets? One pack, worth $79, serves as a starter kit with 12 kinds of flowers. It also comes with lovely earthenware pots that can be displayed on window sills or the front porch.

    We learned one doesn’t necessarily have to be a green thumb to care for these pots and planting would be such an easy process, I’m thinking of doing it for myself, too. It’s as easy as putting the soil packets into the pot, add water from time to time…and watching the flowers bloom.

    The packet comes exclusively from Red Envelope.

    • seeds include petunias, marigolds, pansies, lobelia, alyssum, zinnias, impatiens, baby’s breath, dianthus, cosmos, poppies and sweet peas
    • each candy-colored earthenware pot features an etched illustration of the corresponding flower
    • set includes seeds, soil pellets, 12 pots and easy growing instructions
    • each pot measures 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ x 3″ high
