A not so little splash of happiness

It took a while, but I finally got it home - and it really is very beautiful. This is my rather rash purchase from the auction I attended last week. A hand knotted, classic silk, Kazak carpet. The woofer, who has impeccable taste, has given it the once over and it appears to have passed his rigorous quality inspection. It has provided me with an inordinate amount of happiness this evening.

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
