I Heart Feng Shui: An Ancien Wonderland
Wednesday, December 15, 2010
An Ancient Wonderland
A wonderful client and entrepreneur, Hayko

When I walked into Hayko Fine Rug and Tapestries on the Upper East Side this summer, I was transported instantly to Istanbul. Ok, I have never been there, but it's what I imagined it to be. I was honored to be called in for a feng shui consultation by Hayko Oltaci, owner of this magical store. Hayko and I discussed what he was trying to achieve and together we used this information and various feng shui adjustments to help enhance his business.
Believe it or not, this respite is right in the middle of New York City!
Many people usually ask me, "Is it ok to have old things in my home?" My answer to will vary according to what the person is referring to. If the objects in question are things left over from exes that make you cringe each time you look at it, I'd say better to get rid of them! But, if it's something that is infused with beautiful energy and brings you joy each time you see it, like one of Hayko's rugs, I would say cherish it and if possible, highlight it by putting it somewhere in your space where you see it all the time. This way you'll lift your chi each time you see it.
Get a glimpse of this talented man and his exquisite products and services in this video:

Glorious. That is all I can say about the results of his hard work. If you are in the market for a fine rug, a rug weaving class or just haven't had time to take a vacation, go visit Hayko's store and have a cup of hot tea with him in the cafe. You too will be transported and well-taken care of.

Hayko News - Let’s Trade
Dear customers,
I would like to invite you to my first annual Let`s Trade show. With this show I hope to help the economy to move forward and keep our satisfaction on a perfect level. Allow me to explain what I wish to offer you.
I am sure that you may have an old antique rug that no longer has that sentimental value or importance to you. To keep the economy ``moving forward``, you can trade it in for a different rug, runner, kilim, pillow or foot stool. When you choose the desired piece that will beautify your room, I will apply the value of your trade-in to your purchase.
As this invitation goes out to my existing customers via e-mail, I hope to extend it to new customers as well. Please feel free to spread the word to your friends and their families, to friends of your friends and their families. Your recommendation or suggestion to your family and friends is very important to me. The Let`s Trade show will start on Monday, December 6th through Christmas Eve, December 24th. Don`t miss this opportunity to purchase your holiday gift on TRADE!!
I thank you once again for your patronage and support. Please call me at (212) 717-5400 or e-mail me at info@hayko.com. I hope to hear from you soon and looking forward seeing you here in my shop.
Regards,

Hayko News - Shnorhali concert
Dear Friends,
With great excitement I wish to let you know about an upcoming event that I will participate in. I am most certain that you probably don`t know how multi-talented I am. Along with selling, restoring and cleaning antique rugs, believe it or not, I can also SING.
I am a member of a chorale group called `Shnorhali`. The `Shnorhali` chorale group has 40 singers including myself. Since April of this year we have been intensely practicing for our grand debut. On Sunday, December 12th, at 5:00 pm please come to Landmark on Main Street Jeanne Rimsky Theater, 232 Main Street, Port Washington, NY 11050 and see the amazing production of the Shnorhali choral group and friends presenting the ``Night of the Armenian Classical Music``.
The program will include the amazing works of two truly great Armenian composers Komitas (1869-1935), the founder of the Armenian classical music, and Aram Khachaturian (1903-1978), one of the most original contemporary composer of the 20th century music. I will be singing in the line with the Basses. If you can`t believe that I am a Bass, come and see how deep my voice is when I sing.
I hope you can make it to my concert. I will feel very honored and grateful seeing you there. I will most certainly apply discount towards any services or purchases you make in the future for the amount of the purchased tickets.
For ticket information and directions please e-mail me at info@hayko.com or call me at (212) 717-5400. Ticket prices are $25 or $30. Can`t wait to see you there!
Regards,
Hayko

My Thanksgiving Message
As Thanksgiving is just around the corner, most people can`t wait for Black Friday sales. Shoppers do their best to get up at 5:00 am in the morning and rush to stores to get great deals. You see, I can`t wait to tell you that at Hayko Fine Rug and Tapestries we don`t ask our customers to go to that extreme. We want you to get your good night rest and then come to our store for your holiday shopping. We have great collections of antique rugs and antique decorative carpets, kilims and collectible Caucasian rugs, tribal rugs and runners, pillows and footstools. We have them in different sizes, colors, and each one has its own story.
Here is a thought! Would you consider getting an antique rug or kilim for your wonderful daughter-in-law? It will keep her feet warm when she walks barefoot. How about such a piece for your own bedroom? You can certainly make your grandchild happy who always plays with toys on the cold floor. Whether your gift goes to your daughter-in-law, your grandchild, or even to yourself, it will always be treasured for many years to come.
Don`t forget, that Hayko Fine Rugs and Tapestries also offers top-quality cleaning and restoration services. You can rely on our staff of master craftspeople for impeccable restorations of the finest antique carpets no matter how old or faded it may be.
This Thanksgiving I thank every one of you for your patronage. I wish you and your family to have a bountiful Thanksgiving, and a joyous holiday season.

Gomidas Vartabet Evening
Gomidas Vardapet ("Ô¿Õ¸Õ´Õ«Õ¿Õ¡Õ½ ÕŽÕ¡Ö€Õ¤Õ¡ÕºÕ¥Õ¿" in Armenian)
This year, October 22nd commemorates the 75th death anniversary of Gomidas Vardaped. We call him the genius of Armenian music; teacher and a composer of sacred and folk music. In all of the Armenian history there is no other cultural figure that would be the image to which almost all the poets of the 20th century turned. Poets of all styles and directions wrote about Komitas throughout the century. On the evening of November 19th our cultural meetup group will get together to remember and honor Gomidas Vartabed through the words of famous Armenian poets and composers.
Julietta Galstian, teacher of the Armenian language and literature, will present to us in Armenian the poems and songs of Gomidas Vardaped. With her amazing talent she will help us live through Vardaped’s life and time. We welcome and encourage other members to participate along with Ms. Galstian. If you wish to share Vardaped’s biography, his life story, poems or songs we would love to hear it no matter in what language it will be.
The admission to this even is free of charge, but there will be a small jar for your small donation.

Daylight saving time change
Hello my loyal customers,
I just wanted to make sure that you did not forget the saying ``Fall Back`` and
that you reset your clocks one hour back this
Sunday morning from 1:59 am to 1:00 am.
I also want to warn you that every year on this day, at Hayko Fine Rugs and
Tapestries, we trick ourselves. If you ask how, allow me to explain.
You see, we pretend that Saturday, November 6th is Sunday and we reset our
clocks an hour back on Saturday and not on Sunday. As Saturdays are always
profitable than Sundays, then why not work an hour more on November 6th .
You see, it doesn`t matter for Hayko Fine Rugs and Tapestries whether we ``Fall
Back or Spring Ahead``. My experienced staff and I will be working overtime this
Saturday, November 6th, to keep our customers happy.
As you know we specialize in restoring and cleaning the finest antique carpets
and rugs. We also have a great collection of antique rugs and antique decorative
carpets, kilims, collectible Caucasian rugs, tribal rugs and runners. We hope that
you will visit us at our shop to see the new additions to my nice collection of
beautiful rugs and pillows.
As my friendly e-mail comes to the end, I would like to thank you once again for
your patronage and support. Please call me at (212) 717-5400 or e-mail me at
info@hayko.com when you think of re-designing your living quarters. I hope
to hear from you soon and looking forward seeing you here in my shop.
Sincerely,
Hayk Oltaci

While Construction is in process
My dear Friends,
You may have noticed the unattractive and unappealing look next door to my shop. The corner of Lexington Ave and 65th Street has been unsettled for quite some time. As this situation has been going on for almost year and a half, I am afraid that the image of my shop looked very uninviting to my loyal customers.
As my friendly e-mail comes to the end, I would like to thank you once again for your patronage and support. Please call me at (212) 717-5400 or e-mail me at info@hayko.com. I hope to hear from you soon and looking forward seeing you here in my shop.

Well, finally there is some change and as the sign on the board notes, the contraction and clean up of the site will be completed by December 31, 2011. It is a big relief for my workers and I, as the look of this site has been affecting negatively on my business. I would like to invite and encourage you to visit my shop during the construction of the next door building. Come and see the new additions to my collection of oriental and antique rugs, kilims, runners and pillows. When you find something that you would love, we will offer you a one week free trial at home. We will deliver and pick up the chosen item for free even if you decide not to keep that original unique piece.
Please tell your friends and their families about my shop. They may want to redesign their living rooms or maybe they have moved to another living space. Your recommendation or suggestion to your friends and others will be very valuable and important for my business.
As my friendly e-mail comes to the end, I would like to thank you once again for your patronage and support. Please call me at (212) 717-5400 or e-mail me at info@hayko.com. I hope to hear from you soon and looking forward seeing you here in my shop.
