The Power of Blogging
It's 9:35 am Sunday morning. I could still be in bed. I could still be cuddled up with my dog. I could be watching the local news. Let's face it, I could just be catching up on a lost hour of sleep because of Daylight Savings Time. But instead, I'm standing on aisle 16 at Target, looking at pillaged shelves, for a product I don't even know that I want. How did I get here? A BLOG.
Yes, that's right. Annie of Poetic and Chic "tweeted" about Liberty of London's new collection for Target, which led me to her blog, and then eventually to Target. Annie had an inkling that the "collection" would be out early, so she hit 4 different Target stores yesterday!
Annie told me which local Target to go to, so I jumped into my hideous sweats, brushed my teeth, and was out the door. I don't even know much about Liberty of London products, but after looking at Annie's blog, I couldn't help myself. There were some really cute things.
I purchased two of these vanilla-scented candles for $9.99 each. Pretty scents in a clear glass jars. Love the packaging...
Then two picture frames for $9.99 each that match the colors of my office...
Unfortunately, most everything was sold out. I was hoping to find some fun pillows (like the one above) for my office (that's the room that I go funky). I wasn't impressed by the clothing and some of the other items that were left. But certainly at these prices, you could find some cute things.
I checked Target's website and most of the items are already sold out. Wondering if they'll be restocking?
So, the next time you find yourself on aisle 16, you'll know the reason why. It was the blog you read...

A great story on the power of the tweet leading to commerce. This should be a case study in a book some place.
xoxoxo
So, you did not miss much for the pillows!

Alyssa, lucky for you because it seems every other Target was sold out. Where are the mugs? I want mugs!
Thank you for your comment. I do appreciate it. I understand more clearly now. I simply carried my name over from my brick & mortar of 2 years and never thought about it. Also, your blog is lovely, its amazing how many of us shop at Target. Again, thank you.
Well, at least you managed to get some things. Those candles look lovely and such a great price. I love everything Liberty's sell in London. I wonder if they have got the same things in a store like Target over here. I'll have to do some research.
Hi five for getting up early !!!! XXXX
I had to laugh at your post... too cute!! I had my heart set on getting that bicycle. No luck in the stores and I didn't want to shell out the ridiculous $99 shipping so I ended up with a shirt for the hubby and some underwear for my son and nada for moi!
Oh well, for once I didn't get too caught up in the Target hype.
