I'm feeling very silly because I'm sitting here at my desk, on my own, giggling. ;-) We're off to Ciftlik on Wednesday to furnish our villa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm SO excited. Hehehehe! ;D
-
Awww how sweet :)
As I've said many times, it can be greatly stressful or it can be huge fun. Which one is down to you ;)
Have a Ciftlik pide for me.
-
A beautiful place, some Turkish sun, wonderful new neighbours and the man I love. What could possibly go wrong? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Earthquake ? ;)
-
One thing I never say when I am going to Turkey...
"What could possibly go wrong?"
;)
-
;D Hehehe! Good job I'm not superstitious then. (She said touching everything wooden in sight. Oh no!! A magpie!)
Peter and I are pretty positive people on the whole and we're determined to enjoy this. Let the fun begin. :-*
-

I can't imagine the sheer excitement of being that close to the 'final departure'
We'll be wetting ourselves too :D :D :D :D (only 16 months to go)
-
Ooh Kevin! Exciting for you too then. Congratulations. Hope the time flies by.
Gordon, are you back? Did you have fun. It's taken years off you I see. ;D
-
Ah how lovely, have a wonderful time and many happy years in your new home.
-
I'll keep an eye out for you Suzz if I'm wandering around Fethiye. I fly out to Ovacikshire tomorrow morning. 8)
-
Yes, Suzz, we are back in sunny Hampshire, & looking forward to August, "The Return" to paradise !! 8) 8) 8) 8)
-
We're there in August too. ;D Not sure how often we'll get there twice in one year while Peter's mum's alive but this year we are! Hurrah!! ;D

Haha! I know what you look like... Hope to see you there. Safe journey tomorrow. x

We fly out to Ciftlik next week & we will keep our eye out for the couple with the big grin and the goods lorry delivering all your new things lol
-
That'll be us! Hope our grins don't put the sunsets into shadow!! ;D
-
Have a lovely time. See you in August with the beds!
-
Yay!! Thanks Carol x
-
Nearly there and it all looks lovely. ;D Or at least it will do after yet another good clean. Gotta smile though because the lovely Lutfu, Turkey's answer to John Inman, is mincing around our living room putting up voile curtains. Makes quite a change from the burley builder we've had here all week. What a sweetie. :D
-
Any pics Suzz? (inc the lovely Lutfu........) ;)
-
Mmm... Not sure. I took a couple while they were working but I'm not sure if he's in them. Tomorrow's job is to clean and photograph. I might bore you with a few then. ;-) x
-
Yes please......so I can dream!
-
have a great time Sue,it s about 7 weeks till i m out there so just willing the time away xx
-
Ah Amanda!! Lucky you. We're back home now but we did have lots of fun.
Bluwise, I'll put a couple of photos on here in a little while but I shouldn't take up all of Scunner's webspace with my photos. I don't suppose you're on facebook are you? If so I am too and my name is Sue Piggott. I'll be putting plenty on there I'm sure. ;D
-
Just a few...

Sorry Keith!! Couldn't resist it. I've resized them so they're quite small. :angel:
-
Wow! It's beautiful Suzz! Lovely furnishings too. You must be aching to get back. Won't be long!
-
Fabulous......!!!!
-
Sue, your photos are lovely. Lucky you. Enjoy
:)
-
Well done Suzz, you look like you got it all sorted.
Now you need a holiday to relax and enjoy it.
-
Lovely pics suzz, bet you can,t wait to go back..
-
Thanks everyone. We do really love it there and can't wait to get back. And you're right Bewva, we're exhausted now! But it was so much fun. ;D ;D ;D
-
Yes it is really exciting when you are furnishing your new home and because you are starting from scratch you can make it look really gorgeous. No searching round for furniture to tone in with existing stuff.
Happy Days - Enjoy. ;D
-
Happy days indeed. ;D ;D Thank you. x
-
Looks beautiful.
I LOVE the sofas. What a gorgeous colour! It always reminds me of Fethiye. :-*
-
Thank you. What a lovely thing to say. I'd love to say we did that on purpose but I hadn't thought of it until I read your post. ;D
xx
-
SuzzPuzz, thanks for showing us pix of your lovely villa. I'm looking for bedroom furniture of very dark brown wood - about the same colour as the chairs next to your dining table. The wood I'm looking for seems to be the same as your TV cabinet. What's the name and location (and website if you have it) of the shop where you bought this? Grateful if you have this info!
-
I'm working in Cambridge this week but I have the receipts so I can tell you when I get home. Or I'll see if my husband can find them. It's a lovely shop.
-
Ooh, hope so I'd be interested too! We're cheeky aren't we? :D
-
Lovely furniture from a 'lovely shop' deserves copycats! Thanks, SuzzPuss!
-
Oops!! I've just realised that I didn't reply to this. I'm so sorry. The shop is called Elba and it's on the Suleyman Demirel in Fethiye. Lovely shop. ;D
-
Thanks Suzz. :)
-
Pleasure. ;D Here's the website. http://elbamobilya.com/iletisim.asp
-
Mmm... just checked out the website myself and it looks fairly awful but believe me it's much nicer in the shop. Modern stylish furniture. Honest! ;D ;D ;D

Ha! I'm glad you said that cos I was also looking at their site and thinking ..... okay .... hmm ..... Suzz must have bought on a very good day ........ she's got the wrong shop ........ :D
-
They don't do themselves any favours with their websites do they? I've noticed that before with Turkish furniture sites. :D
-
:D They really don't.
Although some of that may actually be down to British tastes as opposed to Turkish tastes.
Still it's good to know that despite the styles shown on the sites, it's possible to buy a really lovely set of sofas like you did.
I saw a corker of a suite in a house I viewed back in May. It was purple and orange leatherette with black crochet cushions. I actually loved that house but the sellers changed their mind and are staying put now.
-
OMG!! ;D :o
-
Thanks for this info SuzzPuzz. I visited the site (likewise with others: Ouch!) but I want to buy a couple of pieces of simple dark brown wood furniture hopefully to match existing furniture (similar to your dining table and chairs) and I've printed the Google map so we can locate the shop when we're there in September.
-
You may well find it there but if you don't there are another dozen or so that you can try along that same road. It's a very useful area. Good luck!! ;D
-
Aw, do I HAVE to go back to Ciftlik tomorrow and stay in that villa for a couple of weeks? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :-*

Happy or what! Each smiley represents about 1 hour of your holiday so tick them off as you go!
And when they are all ticked, it will be closer to our next visit! :)
Simon
-
Me? Excited? Oh go on then, I admit it. What gave me away?
Have a wonderful time when you get there Simon. We'll try and leave Ciftlik in one piece for you. ;D
Suzz

Our son and his GF are currently staying for nearly 3 weeks, so hoping they haven't upset the friendly villagers before you arrive - enjoy your break!
-
I'll let you know. ;D
-
Have a really lovely time, Sue.
Try not to wee yourself on the plane. :D
-
We holidayed in Fethiye from 1989 and then in 2008 got our apartment there, I still get just as excited as I did in the early days. When and if that changes, but I can't see that happening, it will be time for a change. Enjoy! I'm sure you will. One week today we will be there - hooray. ;D
-
Aw that's lovely Marggie. I'm so happy for you.
Menthol, Tenapants at the ready!! ;D
-
Sue and Peter, have a great time at Tereyağı Ev
(private joke)
-
Thank you sweetie!! ;D
(Slightly less private joke...)
-
Have a great time Sue & Peter. I'm sure you will. :) 8)

Thanks B. You still there? Might see you in Fethiye. ;D
