Marimekko’s Tasaraita shirt
Last year at the Laskiainen Party, we took this
great picture:
:
Let us take another, bigger one this year. So, I ask everybody who has a Marimekko’s Tasaraita shirt to wear it.
If you do not have a Tasaraita, please,
wear some other Finnish shirt if you have, like this shirt Jukka wore last year: “A Finn’s Feelings.”
