direct from Turkey
My parents recently got back from a lovely vacation in Greece and Turkey, and brought me back (along with Ouzo, Turkish Delight and olive oil soap) something I’ve wanted for quite a while:
A pouf!
It’s not the fanciest pouf (it’s large, unembellished and a plain off-white) but it makes the perfect ottoman for my vintage velvet club chair…
And a good cat bed on occasion.
The best part is it comes unstuffed, so it didn’t take up a huge amount of room in my parents luggage, and it was TEN EUROS.
Which, if you’ve ever looked at purchasing one on this continent is about 1/10th the price you find them for here.

Beth, that thing is BEAUTIFUL! For all the reasons you just mentioned, I am so happy for you. I love it. And I love that your cat is on it. SUPER CUTE! ARG! I want to hug the pouf!

Wow! I think you’re even more excited than I am, ha, ha. It is pretty cute though. And squooshy. Very squooshy.
