Used as a café on the weekends, I enter in the Pink Pavilion at the Emirgan Park. It's two storey, classical Ottoman House. Not because of the pink tulips, but named for the pink color of cranesbill (=geranium) flower. Dreaming to live spring in this finely ornamented mansion among pink tulips, and continue visiting inside but I notice outside also heavenly heavily pink, pink, pink...

Not only the Emirgan Park is gorgeous to look at, but this store is as stunning as it can be! One of my most favorite shops in Turkey! Here are a few of my most liked tulip-inspired finds, attention for their tulip designs, prints and shapes:

white wine glass :: wine carafe

wine bottle :: palace style bowl (big size)

bowl - white&blue vase

candle holder :: water glass

vase :: vase

Really aren't these gorgeous? I want one of each products for my house! And such beautiful and unique designs.... oh! See the list and unit prices here
