are you finnished, yet?

so i'm having a love affair with finland at the moment. i came across something the other day, which i can't yet talk about here or all will be jinxed, but it has fueled my interest in all things finnish. check out this half-finnish artist, sanna annukka. her stuff is amazing. i love it.

then, there is marimekko, a finnish classic. i went to the marimekko store today, but it was kind of blah. cb2 of all places has this really great marimekko wall hanging for sale.

finally, i hit up a bunch of designer re-sale shops on the upper east side today and came across this marimekko coat. i promise you that i will never again post a picture of myself here, but it goes with my finnish theme. anyway, this coat is a bit loud, but i've been wanting a quilted coat . unfortunately, this was $200 on sale. sigh. anyway, i'm totally trying to convince myself that i look like a crazed gnome in this, and that i don't want or need this coat. it's not working!

i love the coat!
you do like like a gnome though. if i had a garden, i'd plop you down right in the middle of it so you could keep watch over my flowers and veggies!

did you know that way back when, when crate & barrel was just starting out, they sold marimekko clothes?
