I am always taken aback by how many really lovely people there are out in blog land. Today I received a parcel in the mail from Kaija, a Finland based bookbinder and maker of lovely things. Kaija, having grown up in Finland, has experienced somewhat of a Marimekko overdose. So she sent me this little parcel of Marimekko scraps!
The envelope in the foreground was hand stencilled by Kaija - really lovely.
I've been admiring Kaija's work for a little while now and have been meaning to post about it for ages, so what better time than now. Here are just a few examples of her lovely work:
Find more at her blog Paperiaarre, and her etsy shop here. Thanks again Kaija :)

Marimekko overdose?? WHAT. htt
Thank you so much, Lara! You're lovely.
And yes, Marimekko overdose is possible! Everyone should try living 23 years in Finland :)
Her work looks lovely. Lucky you! Marimekko scraps!
Hi Lara.
I have been admiring your work and your blog for a few months now, and finally have the time to stop and let you know how beautiful I think it is and how much you have inspired me :)
