Spring Makes My Fever Right....

I adore spring  not just because of feeling nature of LOVE ...but also seeing the color of the flowers I plent..smelling them...watching their color mix until you get bored...(I would not mind....I can watch them for all day long:-) 
Spring  also reminds me a song from Elvis..as below....

A little bird, he told me so
He said come on, get on the go
Open your eyes the sky is full of butterflies
The blossoms on the trees stir up the honey bees
Spring makes my fever right

Spring fever, spring is here at last
Spring fever, my heart’s beating fast
Get up, get out spring is everywhere

Well if you feel the wanderlust
Just grab a car or hop a bus
In every town there’s excitement to be found
So much is happening
Don’t miss the joy of spring
The world’s in love just look around

Spring fever comes to everyone
Spring fever, it’s time for fun
Get up, get out spring is everywhere

Just write me ...what Spring reminds YOU......

GET TOGETHER DINNER of ETSY ISTANBUL LOVERS

Etsy Istanbul Lovers met in a lovely restaurant called PROKOPI on 31st of March... The food was sooo delicious...we ate  too muchhh..we laughed too muchhh...and I am really happy to be a part of them....

who we are...here we are:-)

We ate supperdupper delicious Mezzes...the one with EtsyFriends writing is a very typical Armenian Mezze called TOPIK...Topik is an Armenian delicacy which has almost completely disappeared from kitchens..The casing is made of potatoes and garbanzo beans, the filling is to die for: slow roasted onions, tahini, black currants, allspice and pine nuts. The reastaurant where we were is one of the very few last places who offer this specialty. Nowadays it is only (and even then rarely, as it is very cumbersome to prepare) found in the private kitchens of the Armenian minority in Istanbul, especially around New Year..

 Happy to know you all...and hope to seeing you again and again:-)
