Happy New Year and any one for a Tennessee Rug Society?

Hello,
The search function on my main page is finally
working.

I am going to be im Memphis Tennessee for a while so
if anyone wants to show off their collection or just
talk rugs let me know.

I am trying to talk Jim Allen into forming the
Tennessee Rug Society with me. The problem is Jim and
I are such recluses we would probably have one meeting
every 5 or 10 years. Of course Jim gets out more than
I do I have not been to a rug society meeting this
century. No one even asks me to speak any more. I
guess I will just have to keep working on my Notes.

I also added in a few hundred rugs and revised and
expanded the notes. I am in the process of rewriting
and expanding the Shahsavan section. I am also
changing the format to make the Guide pages more user
friendly. The Notes really are my notes so I decided
to make them easier to navigate and to document more
of the things I take for granted.
Best wishes,
