How do you get me out of bed before 7am on a Saturday? Promise of a sample sale including lot's of Marimekko product. Arriving at the warehouse (location to remain undisclosed) sale just before 8am, we realized we weren't on the ball enough as there were about fifty women ahead of us. Fifty prepared women, mind you. They had large Ikea bags and were stuffing them full of anything they remotely liked, to decide later if they wanted to buy or leave behind. Yes! These women were organized. (So will I be... next year!) I happened across a set of napkins that someone had tossed back onto the display. (I'm not proud... I walked around looking for discards!) The napkins fit perfectly around some cushions that I had found at the sale as well.
Some unpicking and sewing machine work later, the napkins were transformed into a pair of pillows, the green matching the new desk chair perfectly. Now for some wooden buttons for the finishing touch...
