Liberty of London Loot From Target!

Target's Liberty of London merchandise is like eating sweet, colorful, yummy candy. How can you stop from not taking one of each?! Besides, the more they sell, perhaps the more likely LOL will return next year in new colors and prints! Now before you think I flipped my crazy switch to the "On" position, these are not all for moi, but also gifts and special requests for friends. However, it sure was fun hunting and shopping for them...and me!















(Left) Chiffon robe - I plan to wear it as a wrap top over a tank or to yoga class. It's quite pretty!

(Above right) Collection of black and white Dunclair or Dunclare. Two of the three canisters set (the largest was just too big), mug, small plastic tumber, 1" binder notebook, hat box style gift box, 24 notecards (3 designs, 8 each)

(Left) Mark Pink paisley umbrella, Dunclair 25 gallon Pop-Up Bag (L wants to take it to college as a hamper), Dunclare teapot and 2" x 3" opening photo frames. Medium weight 100% cotton "Bright Blue" boxers (L grabbed these for summer shorts), Medium weight 100% cotton "Dark Navy/Floral" men's shirt-Size L is perfect for us 6 foot tall-ies. And they even sewed extra buttons at the bottom! The print has red tulips, pink and green flowers! My opinion, I think this is a little too fou-fou for a guy, but great for a gal. Dunclair print scarf in lightweight 100% cotton - fringe trim with extra tassels in the corners, it measures 42" x 60". It also comes in two other floral prints. Ladies, if you want to get away from the LOL polyesters in our department, head over to the men's department. All cotton, all silk (ties)! And bonus if you sew, you can easily alter the boxer shorts (sew the fly shut), add darts to the shirt and/or roll the sleeves, or repurpose the scarf fabric making a pretty tank (using the fringe edge for a hem!) or applique or trim for clothing or home dec.) Actually the scarf is quite nice as it is -- generously sized with a very nice hand and tie-ing drape.

(Right) Large Tapered Bin, Milk Crate and Media Box. $9.99 Candles (10 oz, glass jar inside) left to right - Lotus and White Flower, Violet Fig and Spiced Black Tea. The other scents are Vanilla Bean, Sugared Grapefruit and Ocean Minerals. The grosgrain ribbon-trimmed container is a potential repurposing bonus!





Backdrop - Girls Size XL smocked top maxi sundresses. Bonus the one on the left is that cool Susanna print! I plan to chop off the top and turn them into skirts. (Another benefit of being tall - if you can't wear them if you are petite, work with what you've got. Long legs!) They are already lined with a band of contrasting fabric and hemmed. A quick elastic casing and voila! Cute summer skirts for only $16.99. Each has two small ruffled patched pockets I may end up removing and using again someplace else. Sixty print file box, clipboard, file folders...and the teapot! Another pair of boxers in Red (L LOVES them! Shorts for $5.99 - a bargain!) Apparently a Target employee dropped the box of Maynard canisters, breaking the lids. So they are selling them lidless for $10, OK by me, I'm using it as a makeup brush holder! And I grabbed the other two square scarves/pareos - Poppy Blue and Jennifers Flowers Pink.

Fuchsia Garla print cloth padded flip flops. Pretty knotted/braid detail! Sizes S-M-L (5/6, 7/8, 9/10) I wear a Size 10 and they fit me just fine.

I'm hoping to order some of the LOL bins/boxes/crates from Targets website (since the store is sold out!), but I'm wondering about the actual dimensions of them, specifically the milk crate. The dimensions listed on the website are 1" square! And shipping dimensions, which don't really help me know how many will fit on my closet shelves! Do you still have any & would you mind measuring them? Thanks!
