Target is coming out with new lines of products featuring prints by Liberty of London next month! There will be clothing (what I've seen isn't really my thing though, aside from some great men's ties) and some really fabulous looking housewares. I want some of the bedding especially; plus those storage boxes, teacups and canisters are totally lovely. I'm guessing everything will sell out super fast, but maybe I can get my hands on a couple of things. I'm a bit ashamed at how excited I feel about this, but I feel like my raging consumerism is justified by the beauty of Liberty patterns. That piggy bank, though? Ugh.

The pictures look fantastic, so I hope the quality is decent. I wish the dishes weren't melamine, although I think the canisters, teapots and maybe the teacups are actually ceramic. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the fabric quality is good, because I'll be snatching up a bedspread for sure if it is. I splurged on some real Liberty Tana Lawn when I visited friends in London a couple of years ago, but it was kind of painful. Being able to get those patterns at a cheaper price point is so so so awesome, even though they won't be the super luxury goods you'd get at the actual Liberty department store.

Okay, Ali, upon further deliberation I am even MORE excited about these Liberty things, especially since I am now mentally hoarding housewares for my Big Girl Apartment when I go to grad school next year. Just from what you've collected here, I really want: the tiered cookie stand, the platter, that lamp!, kitchen canisters, teacups.... plus, considering how into flouncy girly dresses I generally am, I'll probably end up buying some clothing too. Not that I should be spending money but... but... LIBERTY.
