Marimekko

I've just got back from Sweden but unfortunately I did not have time to look around in the great design shops, but at least I picked up five design magazines just before heading back . In Malmö I walked past a Finnish Marimekko shop (which was unfortunately already closed), but it inspired me to look into their latest collections. I have always loved their patterns, colours and the happy living it communicates. 

A very dear friend shared a link to fabric and yearn shop Purl Soho a few days ago. Since then I cannot stop browsing their site and blog where they teach how to create beautiful personal accessories for the home. Here is a sample of my favourite projects (which I will probably never realize, but one can always dream): 1) Felted Wool Patchwork Quillow; 2) New Years Garland; 3) Hawaiian Style Felt Floor Pillows
