Ok if this is news to you then this is my birthday gift to you (if not, I will find something else to give you, I still have a few days)
You better be sitting down for this one, it is good.
Liberty of London has teamed up with Target!
Yes siree.
On March 14th an array of items will be sold at Target (some of the best like the bike will be online only) in the many prints of Liberty of London fabric.
Do you remember when we used to drool over the fabrics at the sewing shop in Nashville with our famous jewelery designer friend? (well she was really your friend but she is too cool for me not to claim as well) They were $24.00 a yard and felt like butter.
I made that one little dress, for my now 11 year old pink, out of $1.00 a yard fabric at walmart but bought a 1/8 of yard Liberty of London fabric to hand make the piping. It was all I could afford. I still have the left over scraps because it was so expensive. In the morning I will take a photo of the dress and put it on here.
Thanks Real Simple for the photos. Check out the cute umbrella here!
Anyway, throw out all financial practical advice from Mr. Think out the window. If you see something you like, buy it! It won't last long. Oh the clock is ticking for March 14th!

Oh, yes, this does look mighty fun! I've never heard of them before but the prints are delightful & happy. Thanks, Pink, for the intro. And by the way, you two, I am so so glad you're blogging once again.
Love, Bree

AHHHHHHHHH!!! I have been scrupulously avoiding Target because I have no willpower when I am in there so I did not know about this. What a wonderful birthday present! I will be heading right on over with my birthday money in hand.
Thanks Pink. I know I can always count on you to keep me updated.

I heard about this about a week ago and my first thought was "I'm going to have a newborn, but how can I get my butt to Target for this?" I'm sure it won't last long. I am such a fan of Liberty fabric. It is like silk and the prints are amazing.

Thank you very much for your very thoughtful and considered comment. I approach the journey in very much the same way as you've described yours.
