ENJOY SUMMER IN STYLE WITH DASH & ALBERT!

If you haven't been into the store in a while, now is the time to stop in for a visit and stock up on some great products for your home! I'm so excited about our Dash & Albert rugs. For those of you who have not heard about Dash & Albert Rug Company, they are a fantastic resource for rugs (both indoor and out), throw pillows, throw blankets and all kinds of other treats for your home! One of my favorite items right now is their beach bag. Add one of their cotton rugs, head to the beach and you can roll out and lay out! These hand woven, 100% cotton beach bags are a must have for the coming summer months!

I have also become a huge fan of their Polypropylene rugs. These days we cannot be too environmentally conscience and what better product to feel good about buying than these fantastic rugs made of recycled material! Not only are they terrific for high-traffic areas and muddy messes, they are machine washable and scrubbable! It makes a great accent rug for outdoor entertaining, or indoor areas that see a little more foot traffic.

These must haves come in Cotton and Wool hooked, woven or tufted and there is a pattern and color for every home! Stop in today to see our Dash & Albert products. Special orders are available.

See you at Spaces!
