I am a mother of three who has an obsession with vintage and antique rugs. I have my bachelor's degree in Art with a Master's degree in Art History and am a certified yoga instructor. I taught art for 5 years to middle and high school students before leaving the workforce to raise my children.

I have been buying and selling rugs in Austin for years and have finally decided to create this website to serve as a platform to expand my customer base." You can also find me @thesouthernloom on Instagram.I am very passionate about finding beautiful vintage and antique rugs with unique colors and designs. I source these rugs through international relationships and try to price items so that everyone gets a real value when they make a purchase.

Every rug is carefully chosen and joyfully added to the collection by me.
