What I am trying to find out, is if there is any historical or monetary value to this rug.  It is in fairly good condition, except for a few pet stains, and I believe it is 10x16.  My husband has been trying to get me to get rid of the rug, but I just haven't been able to part with it.  I just need to know the story behind it.  If you have any information on it, or can direct me to someone else who may, I would greatly appreciate it.  I have had a very difficult time trying to find any information on it.  Thank you.  B.

But I want to chime in with your blogging sentiments as well.  I struggle so to keep it going (with varying amounts of success) alongside our core business, and yet I really want to.  I believe in it as a marketing concept, but its hard.  I need to go read Tobi's post that you reference.  I support your "brief and colorful" efforts.
