After three visits I decided to buy one large plate and a mosaic. They both arrived via UPS a week later in perfect conditions. (He sent them hand-made in crates!) I believe I got an incredible deal for museum quality art, and I can't wait to return and have tea and be educated by gracious Sinan and his brother about Turkish craft. Thank you Sinan!

Two parts, we got a smaller Turkish mosaic lamp that may or may not make it back packed in bubble wrap and clothes, and a little rug for one of our cats, and a pillow case for our cat sitter, and a scarf for a Philosopher friend. In the ceramics part of the shop we got some pretty bowls which also might not survive the ride in luggage but they did wrap them up well and they are embedded in clothes and yarn. The Chief of Staff is in to knitting and bought yarn in Turkiye, which makes for good packing. None of this was expensive and the attempts to upset weren't overbearing.

You should still visit the Grand Bazaar and Spice-Egyptian Bazaars for the tourism, but for more enjoyable shopping come here. It's also near the mosaic museum which I'm not sure is worth your time but I mention this for orientation purposes. You can meet some nice cats here.

Water shapes and talks to you there...you can learn the traditional Turkish art "ebru" -paper marbling in a friendly and warm environment from very experienced and creative masters Ezgi Erol and Nesime Kantar, and if you d like, you can buy marbled clothes, candles, notebooks as well.

The Visa transaction went through with no problems just as it did yesterday. Yesterday I charged 900 lira and today's bill came to 635 lira as I'm stocking the kitchen in my new apartment. But today they asked for my passport for the first time and I didn't have it. I don't normally carried around in Turkey because it's not usually ask for unless you are doing something like registering a phone and signing a contract. I explained to them that I hadn't needed it in the past and that I would bring it next time but they wouldn't budge. So after much haggling, they pulled me out of line and suggested I go get the amount of money at the nearby ATM, which I did. The shopping cart was under their jurisdiction the whole time and I came back and even though they had already charged me and then uncharged me, they insisted that I go through the line and check out all the groceries once again. I didn't make a scene, but I just decided to leave without the groceries. I might go back to this place, but I was planning on this being my main grocery store and now I'm going to definitely check out the competition before coming back to shop at this store.
