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.

I visited a couple of Merimekko stores while I was in Finland last fall and absolutely fell in love. Of course I couldn't afford to bring back with me anything more than just a mousepad, but just looking and touching is a rich experience.
I, too, adore Marimekko. Thanks for the C&B heads up.
These images are so lovely! I just found your blog a few days ago and have been by each day since. I LOVE IT!!
A cute little Marimekko tea set (tray and handle-less ceramic cups) was one of my favorite wedding gifts a couple years back.
There are a few fabric discounters online where you can find Marimekko prints. Being a completely poser sewer I love a fabric so amazing that anything I make is great looking.
Would you believe I've never been in C&B? Guess it's time to check it out.
