Recently, I had the opportunity to travel to a new
foreign land, Turkey. I had an amazing time soaking up the culture,
visiting ancient mosques, touring the sultan's palace grounds and eating new
delicious foods!
I'm a huge fan of Turkish jewelry so it's no surprise I came
home with more jewelry than anything else. The Grand Bazaar, one of the
world's largest and oldest covered markets, boasts some of the most amazing
jewelry pieces I've seen and where I did most of my jewelry shopping.
You can enjoy a little piece of Turkey too. For the
month of May, just mention this post and take 10% off our Turkish inspired
pieces. Limit one per customer. Cannot be combined with any other
offers.
Entrance to the Grand
Bazaar – built during the Byzatine times
Look familiar?
BGR007 is in the mix.
Can't decide which
pair to take home.
More jewelry to take
home.
One of the most famous mosque – Hagia Sophia.
Completed in the 4th century. The interior is gorgeous and
very ornate!
Love these windows
and decorative tiles.
Paris? No, it’s Turkey!
Underground cistern in Istanbul. This is where they
kept the city’s water supply back in 532 A.D.!
More shopping in an outdoor market.
I’m on the European side. Across the water is Asia!
One of many ancient,
ornate dome ceilings found in the Sultan’s palace grounds.
Sadly, my husband and
I couldn’t control ourselves and ate all the Turkish delights we planned on
bringing home to share.
