Finland is placed very high on my places-I-want-to-visit wishlist. And not in the last place because of Marimekko. I remember my mother wearing a Marimekko shirt & skirt in the 80s. They were made with the softest jersey and had a timeless fit. When in London I picked up a free copy of the Marimekko Read article…

A very special week
It was a very special week, exactly 12 years ago. We spent a lovely week with family and close friends, enjoying good food & wine, the beautiful Massif des Maures and each others company.

Moving cranes
Our neighbors are moving. Their entire space is almost empty. No photogenic yellow construction cranes anymore. How cool is their logo with the Eiffel Tower!
