Marrakech: Studio visits

We spent a day visiting some local artisans around Marrakech. It was another fabulous day meeting some great people making beautiful things. 








We did a work session at one of the designers home studio. 








Lunch time! Can you believe this setting! I was the most annoying lunch guest ever just gushing over every detail.  And the food... oh it was so good!



















Marrakech: Jardin Majorelle



Jacques Majorelle created this garden in Marrakech. It later was owned by Yves St Laurent.  It was really beautiful and I am glad we took the time to see it.










The garden is famous for this cobalt blue. It's a real nice shade of blue. Quite stunning. 








Posters Yves St Laurent sends out every year to friends and fam. I want to do this.

Marrakech Day 2 - Souks n' stuff




Here we are on Day 2 of the Souks in Marrakech. Lots of stuff to look at. The inventory of rugs and bells and whistles and slippers and baskets and...is crazy! Makes you wonder how long stuff sits there before it's sold.




I wanted these real bad. I tried them on and people were loving me in gold shoes. Looooving me. 




Here is a picture of rustic metal and some nice hands. You're welcome. 



















Inspiration for my future front door. 






More rug shopping. 
Biting the back of my hand for not buying these. 



Tradition Moroccan wedding blanket. My perfect dress. 






Bought way too much dried fruit and nuts from this cute girl. I had no idea how much I was buying and it all tasted like saffron anyway. 


We ate at our Rihad most nights and this one was a favorite cous cous vegetable Tagine. 





Several days I went down to this park and went 'running'. There wasn't a good place to run they told me so I did a million laps around the gated park where guys where playing soccer. I was running on broken glass and trash or big bushy stuff. See below. Wow that got old. I watched a lot of street soccer while running though. Seems to me they argue more then play.
