i find it only fitting that i should end the day (and the design show week) with a booth that turned out to not only be one of my favorites from the show, but turned out to be a distant relative! designer hannah bureau, along with her sisters rebeccah and sarah, run three sisters ink, a fantastic pattern-design firm based in massachusetts. my great aunt midge told me to stop by hannah’s booth and i’m so glad i did- three sisters was the most exciting part of surtex for me, and i found myself instantly taken with the playful, colorful that three sisters ink create. there are so many designs to enjoy on their site, and you can also pick up their work in print form right here on etsy. [thanks aunt midge for the suggestion!]
