Merhaba
This weekend the Marmaris Ladies Bazaar is being held in the shopping mall that borders the marina. Several of us went early this morning as rain was predicted for the afternoon. It felt good to support the local charities. I bought some rather odd candles and a piece of carrot cake to give to the security guard at the marina entrance. He looked a bit lonely when I walked by so I thought I’d bring him a treat while giving a bit of money to one of the local schools that had a baked goods table.
There were several Netsel ladies there shopping; the men made one pass through and were done in no time. It was good fun for a good cause.

The Netsel Shopping Mall is all dressed for Christmas and today tables were set up for the Marmaris Ladies’ Bazaar which will be Saturday and Sunday. We went early-ish this morning before things got into full swing. This afternoon when I stopped by, there were clowns and balloon animals being made and the place was really hopping. As the profits go for charities, busy is good! But my battery died so no additional photos…Rats! |

This was my favorite. Though I didn’t buy anything; I did go back to the boat and get the clothes I’d put aside to give to charity and bring it back for them to sell. They had racks of used clothes so I hoped my donation would be useful. |

Mary and Jane couldn’t resist the “ 60s flower-power” jeans. |

Republican Women’s Association had a table, but these women would be Liberals in the US! "If there is Sharia law in Turkey, the ones who will be buried away in the dark, the ones to lose all the rights gained, the ones excluded from social life, will be women," said Senal Sarihan, head of the Republican Women’s Association, one protest organizer whose ranks have swelled in recent months.” http://www.reuters.com/article/2007/06/04/us-turkey-women-idUSL226775020070604 |

Candles from the Ladies’ Table I was taken by these funny candles and bought them not realizing I was supporting the voice of liberated Turkish women! Now I especially like them….as goofy as they sort of are! |

Gwen making her purchases: she loads up on the baked goods and stores them in containers in her freezer. With Randal’s pie making and cooking we don’t need to store up on any kind of food. We look for people to share it with! |

Kirsten was shopping with Gwen. Kirsten, leader of the Wednesday Morning Group, is an artist with yarn. She is helping me with a vest I have started using yarn I bought in North Cyprus. She taught Mary how to knit a wool hat! |
