IMPRESSIONS of our last day in juibar and ON THE ROAD VIA FIROUZABAD BACK TO TEHRAN


what a great moment for me - the kids gave me a stick and I was allowed to paint out also some parts of the pic!!! How happy I've been!!!!

uiiiii - I'm so excited - ipue made a photo of me and
her sabzi from haftsin-table in their yard!! before we
had a look at the other spring flowers and took some
photos!!!!



today her husband and her friends went to their
garden 25 km outside of tabriz on the tehran-road!!!
but as Ipue don't likes that much to sleep in the garden she decided, that we both will go there only next morning!!!



she told me, don't worry, we'll go out and look for a
taxi to bring us to the garden to yussefabad. but for sure it will be so crowded outside!! could we find a car???????
and so I'm excitedly waiting.........
I don't know I will be able to sleep this night or not....
:-((((((((
and this also for another reason, too!!!!! tomorrow I'll meet CROSSY, back from his mysterious trip!!!!!!??! I'm really thrilled up from now!!!!!!!!!

today we had a date with ipue's pottery-friend and I was so happy, she took me with her!! first of all we had a look at potter's house, a beautiful traditional house of qajar era! fine restored as a living museum.







there is a permanent exhibition of art works of members of pottery friends association, and a shop and several classes like throwing, painting and so on, and last not least the kiln!!

here some impressions from the exhibition, how beautiful!!!!!???!?! (these two pics are work pieces of ipuenktchen in the permanent exhibition there!)





the next pics show work pieces of the master
mrs farideh tathiri moghaddam (c):






(as I understood, this plate was the absolut favorite
of ipuenktchen, she told me, the design is really
PERFECT!!!! (c) mrs. FTM)


this design is so sweet and ipue told me, before there were cards from some of the items, and ipue used this one often as a X-mas-card!! (c) mrs. FTM


a huge shock - this beautiful one was broken on the road, when there was a pickup, brought so many art pieces for an exhibition - and mostly broken on the way!!!!! :-((((


some workpieces of two pottery buddies!

after we passed the ancient municipality - the building made by germans in the 30ies, nowadays a museum!



and what do you find in the middle of the square???
BINGOOOOOO - another haftsin!!!


after we went to the blue mosque as there was a handicraft exhibition in the yard!







we had also a look inside the blue mosque! how often ipue had used from these patterns for her pottery items!! and I really would like to see inside!
:-)



boah, how nice everywhere!!!!

as we were back home from the caspian sea since last FRI, it was a bit boring for me only to see, when ipue was busy with so many things... even since yesterday she's going out in the morning for making pottery again...... I hope one day I may have a look at!!!!?!?!

so it was great to hear we would go out in the eve for a traditional restaurant in an ancient public bath. it belongs to the cultural heritage organization, which were busy to restore the public bath since six years ago and finished last year!!!!!!!!!

I understood it should be a surprise for ipue's son2 and her husband!! her husband noticed very soon that he had been in this public bath together with his father when he was a boy..

as it is still new year holidays they had a large *haftsin*, too.









the food was excellent and everybody agreed.
yummyyyyyyyy - me too!!!!
this is a so called *koefte tabrizi*!!! pls look here:
