Inspiration - Textiles in Turkey

Tuesday, 27 August 2013

Dan managed to get a work trip to Istanbul last week (jealous!), which got me reminiscing about our trip to Turkey. There hasn't been much inspiration going on around these parts, we have been having our kitchen replaced and so I have been living in what feels like an episode of hoarders; food and kitchen stuff in the bedroom, fridge in the middle of the lounge etc etc. Dan's trip reminded me of two things; how great Turkey is and how many textiles items I managed to bring home! 
Aside from kittens on the beach and amazing food, the amount of textiles and jewellery available was incredible, there was so much to touch and buy - I could have easily filled three cases of stuff. As always my favourite things fell either end of the spectrum; heavily embroidered, patterned and embellished or soft, light and delicate - it was hard to pick so I bought a bit of both. Here is a little list of what I managed to bring home: 

Turkish carpet (we actually needed a rug - seriously we did) 
Hammam towels
Vintage Uzbekistani wall hanging
Vintage jewellery (to hang on the wall)
Jewellery
A lot of sequins and beads (which I was playing around with yesterday) 

If you haven't been, and you like this kind of thing I definitely recommend you take a trip, all these photos were from our stay in Antalya, which I can only say good things about.

    Of course I think the salami is buttery smooth with intriguing spices, but the kids like it too. I gave them a few pieces for breakfast, a time when they are usually grouchy and picky about food, and the daughter gave a thumbs up. The son was distracted and needed to discard his pants and run out of the room for reasons not completely understood. But I don't think this concerns the Saucisson Sec.

    Thank goodness! While he can be wary of strangers (his previous owner was not nice to him), Finn is my shadow--never more than ten feet away...unless he's sleeping. He loves to play fetch and patrol his yard for squirrels, birds, and lawn mowers. The more mud (as evidenced in the picture), the better! He is a short boy, so his long-legged sister usually out runs him, but his energy is endless when he has the right motivation--catching Libby.
