Marimekko at Crate & Barrel

I was in Crate and Barrel on Wednesday coveting their new Marimekko line of linens. This particular pattern was first created by Marimekko in 1970, then reissued recently in of-the-moment colors. I want to make my bed in them today, then crawl in and sleep until spring.

I hold an extra-special place for Marimekko in my heart because when I was a child, my mother used the Marimekko car pattern to make quilts for my brothers' room. Because of those quilts, Marimekko was the first textile design name that stuck with me and that I watched for.
