A question special for tourists and travellers: what do you have in your house that reminds you of Turkey? Are it gifts, souvenirs or...?

Myself I have two carpets (a sumak bought in Istanbul and a kilim as a gift from East-Turkey), a nargileh, many earrings/necklaces with nazar (the evil eye protection), a coffeemug with the name of Allah in Arab from Istanbul and of course loads of pictures.

I have lace that my mother and sister-in-law made, ceramics, Iznik tiles, some Ebru art, tea set in my china closet, Turkish tea pot on my stove, some Turkish cookware, a photo album of Turkey on my coffee table, table clothes, lamps and a carpet that was given to me by my husbands family. I guess if you can't live in Turkey - you bring it home with you...

Leather bags,handbags and plenty of silver,oriental earings and boncuk nazar stuff and photos,photos,plenty of photos plus kolay Turkce kitap

Tea set, turkish tea, book on Rumi, LP, too much shals, leather handmade bag, bronze oil-lamp, ceramics, photos and... photocamera

and i long for a bakhtiari (though it is iranian kilim)

I forgot a lot of things now I see the lists of others. So I add: Turkish tea, 18 CD's, several shawls, a photocamera, several (fake!) perfumes, salep powder, ezo gilin soup and many books.

Yeah,shawls)))soft,warm,beautiful shawls,nicely designed and granade juice!
