And The Food Tour




We took a food tour in Thessaloniki. It was given by an elderly man who just loved giving tours. So first stop was for some bougatsa. Everywhere we visited was a piece of his childhood.





Urns And Fish

Lots of black and red ware, including some fish plates.









 

More Walking Around

We walked randomly around Athens. We found a lot of sites.

Scotch Stew by Melita Glavin: Make Stuff May #17

This piece was in Needlepointers and looked like a bit of easy fun, so I started.

 

Sapphire Snow by Mill Hill: Make Stuff May #16

Another little quickie ornament to work on. I hope to get some of these things finished.
 

Inside Sarcophagi

Some of the grave goods in Bacoli Castle are actual graves. These sarcophagi once had dead people resting in them. It's amazing that they're well decorated on the inside too.



 

Reflections on a Grecian Urn: Make Stuff May #15

Another Ink Circles start. The fabric isn't as green as in the photo, else I would be starting it over. It's much more an antique gold. Hope to get more done soon.
