marry me, marimekko!

I've always loved the fun and bright prints of Finnish company Marimekko. Tonight I'm headed to the Textile Museum's Marimekko, With Love  exhibit and can't wait to see the fabrics up close. The company has been around since the 50's so I'm expecting an amazing retrospective. While they're most known for their textiles, I've always been most partial to their housewares. Last summer I travelled throughout Scandinavia and picked up lots of printed retro goodies for the shop- can't wait to share them with you all!
