The Shopping

There is no end to the amount of shopping one can do on a cruise. In fact, it was kind of ridiculous, even for me, and I love shopping! We came home with several unique souvenirs. Here are a few pictures.

A fantastic glass mosaic lamp from Turkey. I think it will be perfect in our bedroom.

A hanging candle lantern- also from Turkey.

An olive wood chess set from Athens.

A "good luck" charms from Athens. How could I resist- it was decorated with glass pomegranate beads (which represent fertility) and a bird holding a laurel leaf? I figured it was meant for me!

And some Olive Oil and beauty products from Crete.

There certainly was some "non-buyers" remorse on my part (the Ancient Roman Glass Jewelery and the W ring from the ship; The giant red coral necklace and carpet from Turkey; the labyrinth game in Athens; and the antique door knocker in Crete) but we decided ahead of time how much money we would spend each day and I feel really go about the fact that we stuck with our plan.
