A small adventure to Finland lies ahead in the spring. I have always wanted to visit Finland to see Moomin artworks by the late Tove Jansson. I have loved the Moomin's all my life! We will go to Tampere first and then Helsinki.
I am now searching out more Finnish wonders to look for on my trip. I have found two sources of Finnish design fabric, other than the famous marimekko. Hau Hauz's, beautiful hand screen printed linen creations, featured by Design*Sponge earlier this month. Beautiful handbags.
Silmu & Pioni
Rosebud & Kalevala
I will be looking out for anything by Ivana Helsinki, I especially like the Campings collection.
Dead Butterflies
Campings
Finnish Coffee Bread, takes time to make but looks superb.

I am reading The winter book by Tove Jansson at the moment. A beautiful book of short stories. Love Ivana helsinki, just can't find it anywhere not being in London. Happy thoughts of Moomin land x
Hello from another Moomins fan! I'm always planning a hypothetical trip to Finland but haven't quite made it there yet. When I do, I want to visit Design House Idoli http://www.idoli.fi/eng/index.html up in the north.
