Travel partner Margaret found Nisanyan Inn earlier this year and as the planning process began we wrapped our itinerary around the inn and the Selcuk Saturday market. I love a local market and thinking about what wonderful delectable dishes I'd create from the offerings.
We wandered through the abundant tables of fruit and vegetable harvest, household booths of linens, kitchen and bath necessities, women's clothing, handbags and...well...EVERYTHING1 It's sort of a your neighborhood Target or WalMart in individualized tents but with fantastic people watching.
Brilliant aubergine, courgette and peppers...
lemons, tomatoes, more aubergine and beans...
do you know what these are?
red and green varieties of okra...
olives...
crates and crates of local tomatoes...
and mandarin oranges!
Murselin introduced us to his friend Hulya (Julia) Celik whose jewelry shop Moon Light Silver Shop was an absolute blast ~ full of her own creations, traditional Ottoman Empire pieces, contemporary designs, gem stones and more. Between Heather, Margaret and I let's just say we probably made their monthly rental payment for the store. I'd be happy to show you my fabulous silver cuff that makes me feel a little like Wonder Woman when I wear it. Oh yea, "Girl Power!"

A little beach time, just us girls, right? Wrong! Murselin couldn't stand to be away from his American Sweeties so he joined us at our lounge chairs.
