Destination: Istanbul Eats
From amazing street food to glorious Turkish brunches, here is a sampling of some of the foods we ate during our trip to Istanbul. 
Balik Ekmek (fish sandwich) from the docks at the Galata Bridge
Fresh squeezed orange and pomegranate juice on every corner
The famous Turkish Breakfast/Brunch with an assortments of olives, cheeses and Sujuk (lamb sausage)
Street vendors selling roasted chestnuts, Simit (a Turkish pretzel) and grilled corn
Enjoying a tulip-shaped glass of tea at a roadside cafe on the Asian side of Istanbul
Two varieties of Borek (stuffed pastry dough with meat and spinach)
Destination: Istanbul
Istanbul, unlike any city in the world happens to straddle two continents… Europe and Asia. The European side of Istanbul could be confused with many major European cities, with its wide tree-lined avenues, if it weren’t for the call of the Imam, 5 times a day, which reminded you of where you were. The Asian side of Istanbul appeared more residential and certainly more conservative, with less glitz. We were lucky enough to get a chance to spend a week in Istanbul to soak up the sights, smells and history of this incredible city. A week is hardly enough time, but we made the best of our time there. Stay tuned for a post on Istanbul Eats!
DIY: Painted Market Totes
Looking for a great DIY project? What about painting your French Market Tote (Available at Harabu House)? I recently came across a DIY project on how to do these over at A Beach Cottage.
Here are a few more painted French Market Totes that I found on Pinterest.
