Karelia travel. 1977.
Travel can be such an enriching experience and dealing with manufacturers and designers in many countries provided an opportunity to learn about different countries and cultures. At the time, the travel business was quite different from what it is today in 2017. We had good intentions, however we never really got it going. From my youth, I have been fascinated and intrigued by the flying horse image. It is such a powerful and beautiful concept. It became our brand. Sharon Nurse, one of the "Karelia Maidens" working in the store, was a very good designer and artist and helped us with the visual image.
