Back to Marrakech

 Oh Morocco - How I missed you.  It's been 8 years since my last trip through your labyrinth, treasure filled, donkey-cart/motorbike strewn, dusty, caravanserai lanes.  A walled city built simply for the joy of trade - splitting the distance between sea and sand - nearly a thousand years ago...  it still makes my heart beat faster.  There wasn't a moment in the eight days we were there that weren't spent shopping, talking about shopping, or drinking to recover from shopping.  But we filled a container with untold splendors and had a hell of a time doing it...  

 Some things we couldn't exactly bring back...

 But others we certainly could!  Lanterns, trays, pots, moucharabi, handiras, SO much -- can't wait til it arrives!!

 The lantern above is seriously calling my name...  you may see it in a post here in my house in a few months!

Amazing large brass lantern -- we will have a pair of these lovlies 

 

Gorgeous old doors snapped up by our very dear friends visiting Marrakech with us for the first time - cannot wait to see their new house decorated with all the goodies we found together
