I got back last night from a ten day trip to Istanbul. It was one of the most inspiring places I have ever been. I took over 2500 photos and came back with a lot of goodies, too (duh!). I cannot wait to share more about my colorful adventures with you after I have a chance to relax and go through everything this weekend.
I’ve gotta give a few shout outs before I start unpacking though– first off, a HUGE thank you to my friend Victoria of Paper and Type who took loving care of our cat, Luda and our Jungalow while we were away–she has an amazing green thumb and it was such a lovely feeling to come back to the jungalow with everything thriving. She took some lovely snaps too during her staycation here–so click on over.
Also another shout-out goes to my new friend Igor who has recently begun a new design blog. It makes me happy to visit, so it’s aptly named “Happy Interior Blog.”He also featured a print of mine this week– so thanks for the love Igor!
For those of you who followed me on my trip through twitter and instagram – thank you for all of your kind comments and ‘likes’. It’s the first time that I’ve ‘microblogged’ during a trip and it was super fun and added to the enjoyment of my adventures.
On that note I wish you all an adventurous weekend! I look forward to catching up on your blogs and hangin with friends and family. Big birthday shout-outs to my BFF Shannon, today too– and prayers to those on the eastern side of Turkey who are dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake.
Ok. that’s it. See y’all a little later on– much love,
