Happy Saturday. So, this makes it a month in Turkiye now. WOW. How awesome is that? I am going to enjoy either the pazaar in Barkirkoy today or a crafting festival that is weekly in Ortakoy. I can take the train all the way to the last stop and then walk a couple miles or wait and take a ferry all the way there. Hmmm. Ferry is definitely easier...
it's summertime, so as the card says, HOORAY for ice cream!
Happy Independence Day to my friends in the USA. Happy Friday to the rest of my friends around the world. For my DH I want to send a little "Miss You" note. Kisses Babe.
So as I am sure some of you recall, I was at my mother's home back in April and made a bunch of cards. Some of those cards had a Turkish theme to them, so I thought I would share those this summer. Here's one that has to do with my most recent trip to Konya
So today is Wednesday. The thing to do on Wednesday is go-to the Fatih pazaar. I must confess at least once I couldn't find it. How crazy am I? It's HUGE!! and, well, it's RIGHT NEXT to the Fatih Mosque. If that's not a landmark, c'mon. I must have been crazy that day. At any rate, now I know WHERE it is, and it's so HUGE, I know where inside that pazaar to go to find the fabric/laces. Also, there's usually some ladies who do handmade work that you can go see in a couple places. I should be able to walk from where my airbnb is to the pazaar, though technically I could walk it last year even though my friends thought that was crazy
Wishing a very Happy Birthday to one of my friends here in Istanbul! Hamide, best wishes my Friend. I hope you have a wonderful day and blessed year ahead.
