Showcase Sunday - Remembering Old Times

avatar

Recently I saw some posts at @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 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. 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!

Something About Me: My name is Dan and I'm sixty-four years old. I live in Bucharest, the capital of Romania. Romania is a member of the European Union and is in Eastern Europe, neighboring Hungary, Ukraine, Moldova, Danube Delta, Black Sea, Bulgaria and Serbia.

SAM!!! (Something about me!) I fondly remember this challenge and I think it might have continued to grow, but, timing is everything. There was a challenge called #ShowecaseSunday but, I cannot remember who runs it.

This was such an enjoyable time that you spent in Greece, and we were so lucky that you gave us the opportunity to enjoy it with you. It was wonderful to go back over those moments for the things we missed in it. I know your wife and her friend have the best time shopping. The town offered an endless amount of shopping for them

You were even patient as he best was yet to come! The tavern in the middle of the street was my favorite! Oh, the food was fresh and delicious! I remember the cats that mingled with you underneath the chair legs. I want to go back!!!

It was fun, Dan! Thanks for taking us back!

Thanks for joining! I appreciate the love and support you are giving to #MarketFriday! Without you and people like yourself, I wouldn't be able to have such a successful challenge! I know that it is one of those challenges that take a lot of time and effort to be part of, so it means a lot to me that you participate. Thank you again for being a part of all this and I hope that you will, indeed, have a great day and week ahead!

Fridays are all about the #MarketFriday Challenge! Looking to take part in it? Here is how:

How to Participate:

Go to the market! Any market will do! Food, clothing, plant, or animal, if you wish. You can go to the zoo, an art auction, and restaurants. Anywhere or anything that you pay money for any kind of service.
Take pictures! Be creative! It’s fun!
Tell us a little bit about the market, what brought you here?
Post the picture.(s)
Don’t forget to use the MarketFriday Community #196308 to post from or hashtag it! #MarketFriday by @dswigle If you hashtag it, drop the link to your post here so I can easily find them.

As always, please remember! #MarketFriday loves you!

Yes, I remember that #marketfriday has a big heart and loves all her children.
I liked the idea when I saw this #showcase ... We can search through the old posts that may not have received the attention they deserve and now they could have a higher visibility. It is also a help in case of lack of time or inspiration.
I noticed that those who were consistent with the challenges they launched and had patience, managed to succeed. Now it depends on the subject, some are easier to access, especially photography, others, as is #marketfriday, are more difficult. To participate but especially to support.

I think SAM couldn't have a large audience because few are willing to say too much about them.

That is so true, which is why I do not pressure people to join. It is a hard challenge and I am always very happy for the ones that do it.

The photography ones are much less stress to join, so I can see the appeal.

I hope you are having a great day!
