Ok, to my sister and a BFF who have heard me bitch about this since Sunday, you should be happy to hear that I am no longer super Target-pissed. For all others - here's the story. I had been waiting for Target to launch the Nate Berkus collection, because I wanted a pair of the black and white chevron ginger jars I had seen in the ads/hype. All online information from Target said that the launch of items would be in stores on Oct 21st. Fearing that they might quickly sell out - or crash their online system like their last big designer launch - I got up early on Sunday morning to hit Target when they opened. Mind you, I also had to drag the twins, who had absolutely no interest in getting up early to go hit a Target so I could buy two "jars" (as they called them). But I think I lured them out of bed and into the car by promising donuts :) and off we went. I chose not to go to the closest Target because it's a small one, so I drove further to hit a Target Super Store. I get to Target super early only to find that there was not a single Nate item in the store. The employees barely knew about the launching of the line. I even showed them on my Iphone the Target press release saying "in stores on Oct 21", which did me absolutely no good. Grrrrrr! I left the store with nothing and still had to get the promised donuts. Let's just say I was not my typical Target loving self early Sunday morning.
Then I'm reading a blog on Monday and see them in the post. More grrrrr! They obviously launched the line as promised in some locations.
So, yesterday on my lunch break - I ran into my closest dinky Target to pick something up and guess what I happened to see?
Ta-da:
Not in their permanent home yet - just plopped in the entry way for now.
And get this - there were only 2, which I took as a sign that God must have saved them just for me. Or perhaps, it was meant to be a sign for me to remember that sometimes it's the little things in life that can indeed make you happy.
