It has been 34 minutes since I last set foot in Target. I have purchased: five neckties, three mens shirts, a jumper dress, two bathing suit cover-ups, six storage boxes, two lampshades, a picture frame, umbrella and two pairs of gardening gloves. I desperately want to purchase a a quilt and marching pillows, but my husband has temporarily put a hold on all further Target purchases. Target has not even officially released the Liberty collection yet and I already own a significant number of items, and will certainly purchase more (teapot, teacups, tea tray, PJs, wallet?, large handbag, flip-flops, gardening tools, large canisters?).
My saving grace, bizarrely, has been the fact that most of the womens clothing is polyester, which I detest. I may be further saved by the percentage of melamine kitchen items (because I just have to draw the line somewhere). At this rate my entire home and person will be covered in Liberty print, I am in serious need of an intervention.
I'd also like to note for those of you thinking of buying stuff online that the watering cans are a little disappointing, the print is oddly warped at points of attachment (e.g. handle, top). Also, the black planter is not a true black, it is more of a brownish gray. In terms of clothing the mens items are far and away the best deal of what I have seen so far: silk ties with contrasting lining and 100% cotton shirts with collar stays!

I saw this post and thought that you were probably right about the early release...
I got a zip car and headed over to my Target and ended up bringing home a nightie, undies, scarf, and Garla-print quilt (the pink one above). I actually need it in a F/Q, but got it in a King because that's all they had and I don't want to miss it. I'll return if they get the smaller size.
Nothing else was there though! Boo! No canisters, mens anything, bowls, or candles - all of which I REALLY wanted.
Guess I'll be staying up late Saturday to shop online!!!
xoxoxo
The Garla quilt is totally what I wanted. I typically by a size larger quilt than my bed anyway because I like to have a nice overhang. You may end up liking it better.
