I'm really into pears and anything hand crafted these days. So when I discovered that both of these rugs can go outdoors - love that!

Anyone know where I can find a similar rug in the top picture that's blue? The rug shown is black.

@outlikealamb I have the Suzani Rio from World Market is made from recyclable polypropylene(plastic) it's a lot more comfortable than it sounds (I walk on it barefoot) it wasn't harmed at all when I left it outside during a rainy night. I'm a little concerned about the colors fading in the sun (But it was only $15 in store. Most outdoor-rugs should be made from water-resistant fabrics but you might look for jute, or polypropylene rug if you are worried about rain. Look for a rug that isn't to thick and has a loser weave so the water doesn't sit on top. Target and World market have pretty good selections of polypropylene rugs.
