The recent trip to Singapore allowed us to go back to some of our haunts including the Arab Quarter. Among the shops we went to were those selling Persian carpets and rugs from that region including Afghanistan. But the objective was really to pick up one or two lamps from the Turkish lantern shops in the area.
 |
| An assortment of lamps - it was quite a challenge to choose lamps among those on display but we were able to get a couple. |
 |
| One of the lamps we bought was installed at our lanai. This one was a glass mosaic. |
 |
| The other lamp is beneath one of our balconies and above a favorite seating area. The glass panels are brought together by a decorative brass case. When lighted, the design gives off that burst on top. |
Our only regret was not being able to get a couple more lamps as well as a rug or two. We almost got one rug but thought the purchase would hurt our budget. We were also shopping for Christmas presents and the really nice rugs cost a lot. More on this in a future post.
