Vintage Vera, Anthropologie update

If I bother to open an email from Anthropologie it always ends in lust, anger and disappointment that their gorgeous stuff can only be mine if I either shoplift (I don't actually do this) or get it on mega clearance. Their email line today was "You love Vera"...or something like that. I assume it's Vera Wang or some other Vera I'm not hip enough to recognize. Oh no, way, way better.
No. Vera Neumann, textile and pattern legend. It's another beautiful awesome thing Anthropologie can claim. The blood boiling begins yet again...

Orla Kiely for Target! Orla Kiely for Target! Be still my heart...

If you're into bright patterns, lovely design and cheapness, the phrase "Orla Kiely for Target" makes your fists pump in excitement. Orla Kiely is designing housewares for Target, including mugs, carafes, aprons and...oh, just look at the photos! Via sfgirlbybay and Apartment Therapy-NY. I'm only going to stop jumping for joy in February 09, when I will then hop on the R/V to the Target in Elmhurst. Yesssss!
