A morning out at the TMC to catch Maremekko, with love.
I went with my old friend Marja, who is a Finn and had lots of inside stories to tell. It was a trip down memory lane for us.
Marja must still have about one half of the items on display.....I remember her in that purple and black little number ( below right). I had the blue stripe third from right, always loved the quality of the cotton.
Vivid,vibrant little exhibition,very nicely displayed. Although I always renew my membership at the TMC, I often ( but not always) find the museum is cliquey and a bit amateur. The shop is excellent!
Marja still has a keen eye, here she is, at the show, in an upcyled cardi made for her by DianeSimmons from an old hoodie. I think the cardi has a Klimt like appeal.
Then we went out for Dim Sum.
What a great cardi. Klimt indeed :)
