South Bend Museum of Art

Hi there guys, how's it going? Above is the fancy letter I received from the South Bend Museum of Art regarding their benefit auction & dinner on October 2, 2008. We donated one of our rugs to them for their Off The Wall gala fundraiser. The goal of this event was to promote regional artists and to honor artist "Maria Tomasula."

I would like to thank the South Bend Museum of Art for allowing me to join them in their fundraiser and for all they do for local artists like myself. It was a great event to be apart of.

Fernwood's Mission Statement: "To enrich the lives of all people by stimulating appreciation of nature, by exemplifying harmony between people, plants, gardens and wildlife, and by using the natural and cultivated habitats known as Fernwood."

We are very excited at Indiana Rug about the upcoming event at Fernwood on October 18, 2008! Fernwood is a botanical garden where you can be surrounded by the beautiful nature of Michigan. They offer various events one of which Indiana Rug Company is very proud to have one of our rugs participate in. Jan Frieden, a local artist will have an exhibition in the Clark Gallery. We have donated a rug inspried by Fernwood itself!

Pam, President of Indiana Rug Company says, " It's a wonderful place to appreciate nature and hike through their many trails, and take in the lush botanical specimens."

The Gallery offers a chance for artists to showcase their work. Jan Frieden will have her art work on display. At the entrance to the gallery, vistors can see our Koi Fish rug. Pam describes the rug for us, "the rug was designed to compliment the natural surroundings as well as the lush koi pond."





If you are looking for something to do in the Michiana area on October 18, come check out Jan Frieden's gallery, and Indiana Rug Company's nature inspired rug! It's fall, get out and enjoy nature. There is no better place than Fernwood in Michigan to do that!

Fall Decorating

Well guys and girls, my favorite time of the year has finally arrived, fall! I especially love to decorate my house during this time of year. Here are some tips I have for fall decorating.

• Celebrate with warm rust and gold hues
  

• Fill the house with cinnamon aroma

• Accessorize with seasonal pillows and area rugs,

• Fall floral arrangements (think wreaths and orange/red flowers)

• Since Halloween is near, bring out all the Halloween decorations and scatter them around
