Geometric tiles from the Grand Bazaar
An endless maze of stalls selling pottery, gold jewelry, hanging candle lanterns, silk scarves, and rugs, Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar was a great place to spend afternoons wandering. Just don’t stop too long at a stall or you will be bombarded with requests to look at the shop’s wares! My favorite find was a set of geometric tiles. When we returned home, I mounted and framed them with an aged gold frame.

And I couldn't pass up the Spice Bazaar, a smaller vaulted building. While still crowded, the Spice Bazaar was a trove of spices, teas, dried fruits, and nuts.
