When in New York ...


A last holiday post.  I hope you don't mind.  


The wonderful colors of Marimekko! I love the bold colors and designs that are the brand Marimekko and was rather pleased to find the NYC flagship store - with the help of several enables - located on Fifth Avenue (23rd st).  The store is filled with fabric, clothing, housewares, bags and accessories.


My fabric purchases (again, I think I showed great restraint):


And very last ...


It is remarkable what you stumble upon when you decide to head off without a map:  an Orla Kiely store located just around the corner from Purl Soho.

 ORLA KIELY
 5 Mercer Street, NYC.

No fabric here, but loads of color and design inspiration.

Now back to my regular program.  It is great to be home!
