Little Bride

That is the Turkish name for poppy.
The first Turkish woman known to have been married in a white wedding dress is Naime Sultan, the daughter of sultan Abdülhamid the second, who married in 1898.

The traditional Turkish wedding dress was in bold colors, like purple or red, richly embroidered in gold thread. This dress varied from region to region, often from village to village, and very often the head covering of the bride was red. Therefore…poppy = little bride.


Now every girl that can afford a wedding dress marries in white, but the traditional wedding dresses with their enormous variety and richness of design are not forgotten. They are used the night before the wedding, during henna night, a beautiful ceremony to mark the separation of the girl from her father’s house and the entering of her new life as married woman.

Lucky girl

Benconservato was giving a beautiful print at her blog, I left a comment because I really wanted to win it! Unfortunatly I was not the lucky one, but she was so sweet to send a little present to everyone who left a comment on her blog!



The maker of these beauties is Emma Kidd (Benconservato means 'well preserved'), thank you very much Emma, you made my day!

Mother–in–law’s tongue

It’s funny how an apparently disconnected and innocuous flower name can reveal a lot about a land’s culture.

This cactus, blooming in our garden, seems harmless and soft to the touch. In reality, any contact with its tender bristles, results in a painful and burning sensation that lasts for hours. Therefore its Turkish name: mother-in-law’s tongue.

No Time at all...

As we are extremly busy with making our new workplace and moving, we haven't have alot of time to do our normal 'things'. There for this poem was quite in place....



(Time Goes By....)

Time

Was TIME born with all the sky?
Can TIME suffer and also die?
Is TIME flat? Or is TIME round?
Where is TIME? Can TIME be found?
Is TIME there with each beat of the heart?
Was TIME there from the very start?
Must TIME go to that being made?
Does TIME show by that being fade?
Can TIME give and also take?
Must TIME be for that to make?
Does TIME provide a way dimensions are spaced?
Are all creatures of TIME somehow inwardly paced?
Is all manner of TIME with all matter that be?
Does TIME flow endlessly?
How does the future with TIME flow past?
Does TIME move slow? Can TIME move fast?
Is TIME rough? Or is TIME smooth?
Can TIME have inflame? How does TIME soothe?
Is TIME bound? Or is TIME free?
Is TIME that what is meant to be?
