as i said i did not buy an awful lot in istanbul
in part due to high price tags
in part due to not liking what i saw
and i am quite sure
in part due to not finding the best area to hunt
still the little i got pleases me
now these i love
they are late 1800's
turkish greek orthodox prayer tokens
i found them in a small and dusty shop
in the centre of the grand bazaar
sorry to say not cheap
but unusual and darn cute
and these are rather fantastic says i
again late 1800's turkish
hand carved pinewood hand guards
to protect the fingers and knuckles when scything
i love an unusual find which is super decorative
and can imagine these on the wall
with a single stem dried flower or suchlike
officially my full etsy odd and old shop
will not be open again until 3rd november
as i am here and my stock is there
yet i am listing these delights
in a moment should you be so inclined
happy days
