♥ "color is my daylong obsession, joy & torment." ~ claude monet

 

on this dreary gray evening i was invited to the opening press preview for the 

new marimekko shop that has opened within the crate & barrel 

on boylston street in boston- and i have to say, as soon as i stepped into the

 vibrant, colorful corner of the store, my serotonin levels happily shot up,

 and i was rejuvenated by the wonderful energy and the powerful punch

 that this cheerful brand brings to all who lay their eyes upon it.

while this is the first store in boston to launch a marimekko shop, the collaboration 

between crate & barrel and finnish textile brand is nothing new-and has actually 

been well in the making since the early 1960's when crate & barrels once

 carried their clothing line and all.

here are some of my favorite things:

live around boston?

tonight from 4-6pm, visit the diy surrur workshop at 

marimekko in crate & barrel on boylston

 and create your own accessories

out of marimekko fabrics :)
