Today’s daily blog post is on using postcards for our letter writing with Marimekko 100 Postcards Card Book (image is shown below). And I’m so happy to have found this box of Marimekko Unikko Notecards Stationery using their iconic pattern, see upper left.
If you find you go through a lot of postcards like I do for letter writing, this set looks to have a great variety of designs. Seeing the set of 100 postcards priced less than $9 makes them an affordable option, they are in a matte finish.
“Collecting a mix of Marimekko’s classic prints and sought-after new designs, this treasure trove of color and pattern is housed in a keepsake box.”

If you are thinking you know the name Marimekko, it was helpful checking them out with Wikipedia –
“Marimekko is a Finnish home furnishings, textiles and fashion company based in Helsinki. It made important contributions to fashion in the 1960s. … Two designers in particular, Vuokko Nurmesniemi, with bold stripes, and Maija Isola, with large simple flowered prints such as the Unikko poppy, created hundreds of distinctive patterns and helped to make Marimekko a household name across the world.”
It is fun to be able to find these Unikko notecards and envelopes in a box of 20 for less than $14.
I’m placing my order for a set of these postcards and already looking forward to their arrival. Stay tuned!
Anchors Aweigh,
