Recently I saw some posts at delishtreats@delishtreats starting with Showcase ...
It was about resuming old posts, to remember.
I don't know if this "Showcase" is a challenge (but I guess it is), I don't want to steal anyone's idea. If I find out whose it was, I will be happy to promote it.

I think it would be beneficial to resume old posts, according to certain criteria, and bring them to life. I think we will have big surprises, I think pleasant surprises, for us to remember how we wrote a year or two ago.

Last but not least, if we post this on Sunday, it is also very helpful. On Sunday we don't have much time for blogging, so we can still post something.

This post is for you, for #MarketFriday and dswigle@dswigle and for me, too

This type of market I will show below is the market that I really like! When you sit on the other side of the showcase ... but don't cross the shop floor.

Images from my late holiday still run through my head. It was a beautiful holiday in a place where I would love to live my life, Thassos, Greece!

This year was a premiere for me. I accompanied two ladies on this holiday: my wife and a good friend of us.

Thassos is a great place for your summer vacation. Endless beaches, clean and warm sea water!

But there is something else ...

Ten and dozens of small stores that call you to cross the threshold.

An irresistible temptation for my ladies!

You can see!

... but where are those stores? Did we get lost? Last year seemed to be closer.

Finally, here they are! We scared in vain ...

To my joy and ... their unhappiness, the shops were closed. Greeks do much to siesta!

My joy is in van, the ladies are making a new battle plan and start the assault in another direction.

I, now a war reporter, have to follow them ...

A new "fortress" to conquer!

And so ... and so on ... I stop here before you get tired just watching. I'll continue next week.

Let me show you how my favorite stores look like!

Closed!

I also meet happy beings that shopping doesn't interest them. I wish I could turn into something like that!

At the end of the day, after walking from the beach to shopping, comes my turn. Hunger pushes us to dearest places!

My favorite tavern in the middle of the road!

A meal like my mother at home. Mother from Greece. Only for a week!

End of the day.

Because I posted so late, I crossed the border of Friday, I apologize to Denise, known as dswigle@dswigle. She is the host of this wonderful chalenge, #MarketFriday that takes us through the world's markets and shops.

Because I have crossed the border of Friday and now is Saturday, this post is also in #sam-saturday challenge (Something About Me) hosted by ... me. Because posting is about the market ... I think I can also sell something: my challenge!
