Since Target is doing a REBOOT of their designer lines -- I'm going to reminisce about their wonderful Marimekko collection...
****************
Way back in 2016, when Marimekko came to Target, Lilly knew we were on a mission for Mary Mulari. Although, she had a hard time pronouncing the word "marimekko"....she was 7, but she couldn't get it right... it was frustrating...
Finally, I said, "say it like a name, hon. Mary Mekko."And that fixed it for her...TOTALLY. |
As we ran through the store, Lilly would spot something like this and say, HERE SHE IS, GRANDMA... |
I FOUND MARY MEKKO..!! |
We called Mary Mulari from Target to make sure we had the right stuff... |
We cold never actually BE in town and not stop at a thrift store... |
Here, things are much more reasonably priced. This big guy could be had for just $2.88... |
Lilly found him, and immediately said, "TAKE A PICTURE FOR MARY FONS, GRANDMA!!"
During our trip to Chicago, Lilly's new friend, Mary Fons, introduced her to her sock money mascot...Pendennis... |
OF COURSE, I took the picture!! |
Surprised by her choice of words, I said, "what do you mean?..."
Then, with a broad smile, she said, "Mary Mulari, Mary Mekko and Mary Fons..."
We both laughed...she was SO PLEASED with herself.

Ahhh...I miss that little girl. Nowadays, she's a very sophisticated TEN...going on 17....
