  • Dear Jean-Marie; This is a beauty and rather rare to see. I will be leaving in a week's time for vacation in Switzerland and France, transiting Istanbul, were I will be staying for two full days. I can't wait to visit my favorite stores there... I have visited major sites and museums in Istanbul during previous trips, hence, can dedicate all my time to combing the wonderful shops there.... Thanks for posting this beauty! Peter
