Can anyone let me know which country these fabrics are manufactured in?
I was looking at some Marimekko from Crate and Barrel and they were all Made in Pakistan.
Is that only the case for CB or all Marimekko?

I recently did this on my wall, and succumbed to two fads, but I love it!

is that a high BTU range. Please consider putting a vent over it (that vents outside) Don't think the proximity to the fridge is a good thing either but the vent is a safety issue. Otherwise this is one bright colorful kitchn!

Its in the freezer at the moment, skipped the walnuts (don't have any) and used white whole wheat flour with some vital wheat gluten. Dumped half a fistful of dark chocolate chips in there too. Can't wait to see how it turns out
