We set a budget so we don’t get carried away and it guarantees Christmas morning will delight. Below are over 30 fun finds for the holiday stockings of the boys (and men) in your home. READ POST

Best of Etsy: Fine Moroccan Rugs

One of the highlights of my recent trip to Marrakech (city guide coming soon!) was shopping for Moroccan rugs. After much debate (and mint tea!), I wound up buying two beautiful beni ourain rugs from my new friend Salim at Fine Moroccan Rugs. I had been admiring his Etsy shop for months (boucherouites, azilals, beni ourain, and more!) and was delighted to learn he sold his rugs in person in Marrakech’s charming carpet souk. During the call to prayer, we climbed to the rooftop of his shop, where he photographs and washes the gorgeous carpets, so I could view magical Marrakech from above. Salim recently added a bunch of new beauties to his Etsy shop (he ships worldwide) and I’m trying to resist buying more. Below are some of my new favorites from Salim and his father’s wonderful selection. You can explore their full moroccan rug collection here.
