092509 Iraqi rugs...made in Iran!

A while back there was a rug sale here.  The US Army encourages any economic efforts that involve the local Iraqis.  There are a variety of rugs and most are somewhat cheap but durable.  One of the other problems is that the rugs can be quite bulky.  If you want to send home a rug any bigger then 4'x'6, the shipping costs will be more than the cost of the rug itself!  I bought a few rugs and have given them away as gifts.  One of the pics above shows me holding the rug I bought for $150.  I shipped off the rug and am waiting to hear if the recipient liked the rug.  And yes, on the back of most of the rugs it says 'Made in Iran'
