The only thing better than Marimekko is
Marimekko on clearance!!!
A couple of days ago, I made a Target run for some 22" Marimekko outdoor pillows in the
Kukkatori pattern (reverses to
Traktori) that are clearance priced. Only two stores in town still had them, and as chance would have it, one of the stores was near our new house. I was able to pick these up for $12.48 each (reg. $24.99).

Last week, I ordered a couple of other Marimekko items for store pick-up...a hammock in the Mansikkavuoret print ($19.48, reg. $64.99) and a 70" pool float in the Albatrossi pattern ($11.98, reg. $39.99)...and today I got a notification that they've come in. So it was off to Target again to get them, and it made perfect sense to pick up more pillows in different styles at that great price of $12.48. Some will go outside, while others will go in the boys' room. Too much Marimekko is never enough.

Of course, since I was already there, I figured I might as well buy a pair of Paprika flip-flops. And, yes, I'll probably go back one more time for the Kukkatori ones too. They aren't on clearance, but at $16.99, I couldn't pass them up. Like I said, I can't get too much Marimekko.

The only Marimekko in our house is a package of paper napkins given to me by our old friend Carmel (70's Chutzpah) deemed by me too special to use ;) Target in Australia doesn't sell it and it is very pricey everywhere else. I do love it though - especially the textiles and the gorgeous frocks they made in the 70's.
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys are settling in quickly. Try not to drink too much vino Dana (I say this as I'm downing a glass myself! Ha-ha!)

Too bad the Target stores in Australia don't carry it. I wish you could take advantage of these prices! It doesn't do for me to imbibe too much. As tired as I am, it puts me right to sleep, and I don't get anything done. :)
DeleteThe only thing better than Marimekko is Marimekko on sale!
ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteSo jealous that they had that hammock at a store near you. I'm lucky in that the people who live near my work seem to care not at all about the Target collaborations, so usually I can get any of that stuff without much trouble and sometimes on clearance. The hammock, though? No luck.
ReplyDeleteA couple of weeks ago, I bought the hammock online and had it shipped to the store. You might be able to get one that way. The price is so incredible that I hope you can.
DeleteMarimekko just makes me smile. Love the bright pillow pattern. Wow, great sale prices too. A llittle treat for you after the move. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt makes me smile too. We're getting outdoor furniture with orange cushions, and I think these pillows will be just right. The boys have orange quilts stitched and piped with navy blue, so the colors will be good there too, and since they're sturdy outdoor pillows, they ought to hold up well to spills and pillow fights. :)
DeleteDon't you love when a designer/company teams with Target?! I love the blue and black Marimekko pillows. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I do love it! The prices were reasonable for Marimekko to begin with, but the clearance prices are insanely good.
DeleteSuch happy patterns- you made out like a bandit with all that great loot!
ReplyDeleteThey'll make me smile all summer, even though I selfishly and shamelessly toted it out of several Target stores by the armload. :)
