My Purchases In Turkey :)

I never knew I would like Turkey as much as I did! It was such a good time and we did quite a bit of shopping! AND it was more than just our purchases of Magnum Bars and Pringles at Gas Stations/ Bathroom Stops.

These are little hand painted bowls made in a village on the coast in turkey. I was obsessed with them I wanted to buy every size, but I figured the small ones are easiest to travel with. 

In Bursa we went to the silk market and I bought a few scarves. I couldn't leave Turkey without silk, the Turks are famous for their silk [slash silk worms, according to our guide, people used to smuggle them out of the country] Bursa is famous for being on the trade route anciently and still provides a .

I bought these embroidered silk pillow cases at a little market in Istanbul.

It's no secret that I didn't like the food in Turkey... but there were other things that kept me alive! This would be two of my favorite things... MJ found these cookies and I loved them! They had chocolate filled centers. so good. and the ULKER chocolate is as good as any chocolate I have ever had! I wish they had these two things in Israel... but then again it's probably good they don't I'd gain ten pounds on this alone.
