Fly Fly Butterfly

Well the cookies were for my Ella's Kindergarten class but the Marimekko tray is totally the Finch.

I love the bold prints and whimsical patterns of Marimekko. Nothing says Spring more boldly than a bright sunny print.

Speaking of Spring....the new Spring Tano has arrived and can you believe one of the new colors is almost exactly the same shade of blue as our yummy friend up there? Pool Blue, Fudgesicle, Dandelion, Leaf, Watermelon and Apricot are all waiting here for you in the best styles of the bunch! I think maybe the folks at Tano were a little hungry when naming the new colors.....

One of the most frequently asked questions we receive about Tano is "How does the leather wear? Well the leather gets that homey, loved broken in look over time. I personally am rather rough on my bags. I have two kiddos and a busy life so mine gets put on the floor, under the plane seat, on top of the dog, under the pool chair, on top the fridge and pretty much slung anywhere you can think of (even in the deep end of the pool at the Y, thanks Ella!). So mine wear a little faster than say Sarah's bags because hers never touch any of the above said things.

To compensate from my tough love I buy the darker colors because they wear a little better than the lighter ones. But you know it is fine leather (also meaning thin and baby soft) that is treated with a high gloss finish so it will wear, especially at the creases and edges. So keep the end result in mind when looking at the pretty spring lovelies and ask to see one of my 'distressed' samples.
