If it was Arts & Crafts, or anything directly related to the era, we knew about it. I'm not sorry my mother taught me this. So imagine my surprise when, on a recent shopping trip to Target (thinking I needed to create my own cleaning solution and look up that Swiffer Wet-Jet refill tutorial again because I am running out way too often,) I glance up to notice, Le Gasp!!!, Liberty of London printed everything!
I'd never forget to water the herbs and flower pots with this pretty watering can:
I think that's fine and dandy, but I like to see vibrant prints in smaller doses, and on little girls' clothing, especially:
Liberty of London for Target:
Some beautiful William Morris or Liberty print fabric would be perfect made into little Kate Greenaway style dresses and pinafores:
And I think these adorable Douglas Co. stuffed animals, available in the kid's section of Barnes & Noble, would be a lovely compliment:
Thanks for the link, a beautiful blog! I too felt a slight thrill (though also a tinge of 'what have they done, sellouts?' crept in too...) when I spied Liberty at Target. There was a L store near my house in York for a few years, so it was a sad day when my L PJs died and they had shut down...though I still carry my big L tote to the market here in STL each week, and I do a little Morris pilgrimage to the V & A every time we are in London. Such beauty!
ReplyDeleteYou just saved us TONS of $$$ with that Swiffer tutorial, I had been *thinking* for ages that I would like to refill it with my own solution but it's always been last on my list of priorities to figure out - now I can fill er up with good 'ol vinegar + H20, my cleaning solution of choice! I missed the Liberty collection at Target *kick kick kick*
