Now that we know pot is good for your brain, it is time to set sail to new adventures. Why not start with this beautiful Bohemian hookah of nineteenth century? Extraordinary designs with a silver laden top, it is a typical luxury item of Sultan Abdulmecid (1839-1861) era. Other than it is good for your soul, I can't guarantee anything else.

    First, let me say that the look of this blog is quite beautiful. The gray, gold tones are quite attractive. I'm very impressed with all of the blogs of yours that I visited. This Bohemian Hookah is quite beautiful. (Of course I could never afford it.) Pot smoking is illegal in the United States, however we do have Hookah lounges where we can smoke legal substances. For example, there’s a nice one in Las Vegas, Nevada. I do believe that pot is good for you and maybe someday they'll make it legal in my country. (Although, I doubt that that will every happen.)

    Those good old days have long gone, I'm afraid. From 20th century onwards, pot has become illegal. Tobacco (with a myriad of fragrances and flavors) is used with hookahs, now.

Pyramids by Yervant Chimchidian

Image
I have uploaded Yervant Chimchidian's (1903-1975) Pyramids not because of its historical or commercial value, but because I thought it would look cool against the dark background of the site. I really heard these words and I'm sure you must have had, too. I do not know why, but Yervant's oil on canvas moves me. Not that it is melancholic; on the contrary, whenever I feel like that, it swiftly takes me out of it. Oh, it does look cool against a dark background, by the way. :-) Dimensions: 24.5x35.5 cm. Estimated value: $ 750

Tarot Cards with Ottoman Figures

Image
I have never been a believer of astrology, fortune telling or tarot, our subject. My aunt is a good fortune teller, or so people say, and always sees money and more money in my cup of Turkish coffee such that after she finishes the telling, people start looking at me, with expectations I guess. That feeling, people being extra nice, incredibly gentle and helpful, lasts for a few days and I enjoy it. So, whenever I have expectations from those around, I often ask my aunt to tell me what lies ahead. Since most of you will not be around (physically), I can tell you the truth: I am still poor. Yet, there is no reason not to try your luck with these cards, maybe Ottomans will help you. Be creative :-) Estimated value: $ 120
