scandi love

Happy Saturday lovely people!! It's not been raining, yippee! It hasn't exactly been sunny here either but I'll settle for not being soaked through.  

Today I am a tad obsessed with these lovely bits of Scandinavian goodness, all of which have been around for a while, but I've never been extravagant enough to treat myself (yet!)...

 this stunning storage jar by Sagaform, from Illustrated Living...
this lovely Ferm tea towel, also from Illustrated Living...


and this cup from Marimekko, which I have wanted for SO long...

and this one (they're both from Skandium)....

It's my birthday next month so I think the time has come for a bit of Marimekko gorgeousness to enter my home.  I just need to make sure I don't start looking at their fabrics; at nearly £40 a metre I can't even think about it (one metre wouldn't be so bad, but I can't choose my favourite!).

Hope you're all having a great weekend,

Rachel x

    1. Honestly Jen I could have put a zillion things on this post, I started off just looking at Marimekko but everywhere I looked there was something gorgeous - thank goodness for Pinterest, at least I can collect all the loveliness virtually! x

    1. 1. No Fran, I wish I was in the Caribbean! But at the time I wrote that post I hadn't been rained on and was very excited about it, it makes such a nice change. It did rain later(I thought only a tiny bit, but I reckon Lou disagrees!).

      2. What with that tunbler and your Checkmate coffee pot, I have serious ceramic envy! x

  3. She's fibbing! I live only up the road and it's been raining. Rachel you are such a ball of sunshine no wonder it doesn't rain on your home! ;-) xxx p.s. I am so having a marimekko birthday again this year. xx

    1. Ah you're a sweetie, I honestly didn't notice the rain today, I must be a tad delusional - it's the excitement of Frank being back and taking the boys out, I had some time off and it went to my head! I think every birthday should be a Marimekko birthday, with maybe a little Ferm and Sagaform thrown in for good measure! I might have to upgrade to Kaj Franck for my 40th... xx

  4. Blimey they are gorgeous - a most definite birthday present I think. Even if you treat yourself.

    All rain here this weekend....again!

    Enjoy your Sunday,

  5. Those graphics are sooooo appealing aren't they - all that and no rain too! Lovely - it has not stopped raining here for days and days - a very soggy weekend. All the best with your fabric hunting.
