I love postcards.

They’re functional, but also a pure form of creative expression. A small space to put across pretty much anything you want: humour, a photo, a saying – even a feeling.

So I was pleased with this little find in the Ikon Gallery shop – 100 Marimekko postcards for £14.99.

You get 2 each of 50 designs from Marimekko – a Finnish fashion and design house most famous for the Unikko print design.

The designs are fabulous – especially for a colourblind person like me – bold, bright colours in simple yet striking designs and patterns. And they come in a gorgeous box too.
