Sue's purchases and travels

The company from whom I buy the paper napkins for the shop now carries Marimekko.  They just arrived this week and the shop, despite bitter cold temperatures outside, already seems like springtime thanks to their bright designs.  Shown here are just two of the many designs we stock.  We visited the Marimekko store in Helsinki some years ago.  I loved seeing all of the bright designs together in one room and, of course, the great prices on their sale items.  (Great for Marimekko...still expensive)  When I head to Sweden I plan to look for a few vintage Marimekko designs to add to our new display of this famous Finnish design house.
