I loved Turkey. But I especially loved busy, beautiful Istanbul — the hospitable people, the live music and dancing everywhere, the calls to prayer echoing throughout the city, and the shopping (we spent four afternoons at the Grand Bazaar). Vancouver, by comparison, seems so quiet.

This week I’ll share some of my favourite moments (and purchases) but right now I’d like to hand out an award I received from Haute World (thank you! thank you! thank you!) to some of my favourite bloggers.

You guys are stars — I love what you have going on. Now, I believe the rule is to accept the award from me, give it to the blogs you love and then let them know they’ve received it. Thanks again Haute Shopper!
