Turkish Delights...

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.

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 4^th 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!

Sadly, my husband and I couldn’t control ourselves and ate all the Turkish delights we planned on bringing home to share.
