During our adventures in Turkey and Prague I'll try to focus on 3 favorites things each day and share them on my blog. Your comments are welcome!
Today I had my first Turkish bath. It was truly an memorable experience! I've had tons of massages but this...whew. And to think Turkish massges can be traced back to the time of the pharaohs. The building (crystal chandelier is pictured) was built of gray marble in 1454. It felt warm and ancient like a tomb.... so here's what happened: First the masseur splashed warm water on me. I laid down on a hot marble platform to relax. Afterwards he scrubbed me really hard all over. Then he gave me a deep tissue massage with fragrant oil, finally he soaped me in a bubble massage and rinsed me off with a water hose. Again Ilaid on the marble. By the way, "he" my masseuse, spoke only Turkish, he never spoke a word to me, nor I to him. It took almost three hours! Afterwards,I felt like a wet noodle.This manicure is all the rage here.
Not only does this young woman have an evil eye painted on each nail she also had red dye stained around the cuticles. It looked great on her. If I had time I'd do it, kinda made my blue polish seem out of date!

If I had time I'd do it, kinda made my blue polish seem out of date!These are my two favorite picks for purchases in the Grand Bazaar today. The moonstone ring with pink sapphires is about the size shown. It's set in 22k gold plating and sterling.
This is one of a kind Turkish style necklace. The center is an ancient piece of a famous tapestry embellished with crystals, coral and turquoise. The strand of interesting gemstones was designed to match the colors of the fabric. It's very flexible and easy to wear.I've already sent two big UPS boxes to the shop from Turkey!
If you're interested in either of these pieces call Sue Anderson today and she'll hold it for your review.
Sue will be working as quickly as possible to upload the new merchandise onto the website.
So stay turned.
