This summer I went on a Mediterranean Cruise...One of our "Ports of Call" was Istanbul, Turkey. Of course, we toured all historical sites in Istanbul...the Blue Mosque & a Castle.
But, of course, we managed to fit in some shopping !!!
First stop...a pottery shop. Where a craftsman showed us how to turn a vase...
Here are a few of the finished pieces of Turkish Pottery...all beautiful...
but a bit out of our pocketbooks.
'
Off to the Spice Market...where Turkish Delight is sold at every place. This is a Turkish candy...Very sweet & a bit mushy.
Not my choice for candy...I love chocolate!
Store Window of Beautiful Linens...I so wanted to do my bedroom over.
A vision in white...Ahhhhh
Another store window display with beautiful home accessories.
The beading on the pillows is to die for!
Beautiful Turkish lamps & candle holders.
Which should I chose ???
Oh Well...
Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe !!!
If I ever get in shape...I'd love one of these outfits for Zumba...
Even in Turkey...They have genuine fake Rolex's...
mmmm...I thought that Canal St. in NYC was home to those.
We went to the Grand Bazaar, but unfortunately we did not have enough time to shop. My sister, Lorraine, called it Canal Street on Steroids.
Lots of places to shop & big crowds.
Maybe on our next visit, we will be able to shop!
We may have to leave the men home !!!
Loves to Shop,
