There you have it!  My challenge to you: see how many events you can attend!  Between all the events listed above, you could pretty much furnish an entire living room from scratch!

I am a big fan of the Finnish company, Marimekko.  Their big, bold graphics and simple colorful styles are eye-captivating.  Starting today, July 1st and running through July 15th, FinnStyle is holding a Semi-Annual Marimekko Clearance Sale.  Their website has savings up to 40% and their store has savings up to 70% on over 300 items!  I’m posting pictures of a few of the many other items that are discounted.  For more information, please go to FinnStyle’s website.
