oh target how you torment me! (in a good way)
fate. i don't believe in fate for the most part. but the other day something that felt a lot like fate happened. you be the judge.
so i was thumbing my way through one of the bazillion mail order catalogs i get when i came across this. i tore the page out immediately and thought about how great a pair of them would look in my place. but $90 each? a little steep.
24 hours later I am walking through target and on the end cap of an aisle i spot these
i kid you not. $16.99 each. hello! it kinda spooked me considering this is the second time my cosmic connection with target has proven itself strong. :) man. so i admit these are not as nice, just plain silver painted metal vs. nickelplated brass. but for the $146 saved? i have no problem with them.
before i forget, i need to send a big thank you to my candy swapper partner. kelsey in portland sent me the most amazing chocolates. they were from a place i have not heard of (portland used to be old haunting grounds for me). here is a pic of the lovely specimens all individually wrapped in foil with an embossed seal on each one!
i love chocolate. all kinds. these were fabulous (um yes they are almost all gone). i know when i am in paris and london chocolate will be a priority. la maison du chocolate? i'm so there.
in knitting news, i cast on for a very skinny scarf in apple green yesterday. i picked up some rowan cotton glace (i think that is what it is called) with this specifically in mind. have you seen those really narrow scarves (pretty much ribbon) that people wear looped around their neck? i am going for that look. so far so good, i have about 4 feet and will post a pic soon.

That candy looks scrumptious!
Yay for saving the money and yet achieving the look! Don't you love it when that happens?
That is so COOL that you found them like that. It was MEANT to be. See? A little fate ain't such a bad thing now is it? wink
I love retail miracles and I love Target. I was just there tonight in fact. Congrats on your find!
Beautiful sconces! I *love* Target too ;)
mm. chocolate and target. two of my favorite things. those sound of music kids were so off.
Awesome! Same look for much less $$$$!
I heart Target. I heart Target so much I have to set it free and if it comes back, it's meant to be. I cannont walk into that store without spending $100 and more. So, it's off limits for me for a while. I can't visit every week like I do. Gots to save some dough.
Have you shopped Target.com? They have the Red Hot Shop, which has totally cool stuff that isn't in the store.
