I miss it already

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!

    Thanks, darlin! I am glad you enjoyed Turkey. I can’t wait to check it out myself soon (I went for a junior high trip so I imagine things are very different these days)….

    Dear The Anthology,

    thank you so much for this award. You’re very kind to distinguish my blog and to rank it at the same level than the 5 others blogs you chose… Excuse my english, but you know we french are not so good at foreign languages.

    I imagine Istanbul and Vancouver are quite different. I imagine you dancing with your turning dress like a whirling dervish …

    Thank you so much for this lovely honor!

    Funny how I tend to think I’m off running this little blog that no one notices in my teensy corner of the world.

    I’m so glad you had wonderful trip!

    Turkey sounds amazing from everyone I know whose been there. Vancouver is pretty dull and quiet compared to a lot of places out there haha, but I guess that also makes it special?
