My mom is actually over in Ireland and the UK for two months. <br /><br />As for Target, I hope they keep up this great trend of having retro-looking wares in their stores! I really could use some new rugs and curtains!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-28730965341697818562010-09-27T14:30:09.001-07:002010-09-27T14:30:09.001-07:00Honey Bee,

I noticed that the online Target site is much better than their offerings in-store. I even saw a retro-looking kitchen dinette set online!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-44342826071982792522010-09-27T14:24:59.694-07:002010-09-27T14:24:59.694-07:00Thank you, Frl.

I was lucky for sure! <br /><br />I cannot wait to take pictures of the new cabinet knobs! The blue matches the hues in my kitchen very well! <br /><br />My black and white cat that I lost to Lymphoma three years ago sounds like your cat. She was not a cuddle cat with anyone but my husband! Her name was Sukki and she was very flighty. She would often bite if we "pet her too long." Sukki would try to sleep on our bed but for some reason, if I woke up in the middle of the night and tried to pet her, she would fly off the bed and run away. I never understood why she was so anxious. Sukki was loving and loved attention but she was not a lap cat. Affection was always on her terms. She was like that when we adopted her. Misty, on the other hand, is quite the lover. I love how each cat has their own distinct personality!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-68030698785632543612010-09-24T15:37:40.375-07:002010-09-24T15:37:40.375-07:00You have a beautiful home!What a great find the la...You have a beautiful home!What a great find the lamps were,definitely a 50's vibe.I love the colour in your loungeroom,gorgeous!<br />The beads really finish of the curtains that's for sure.The replacement knobs sound lovely,i look forward to seeing pics.<br />Oh i luv Misty,isn't she a gorgeous big ball of fluff!?I wish my kitty would sleep up on the pillow with me i rescued him from death row last november & while he is quite affectionate he's not really a lap & cuddle sort of cat.He'd rather sit next to me or sometimes at the bottom of the bed(he bites our toes if we move around too much) .Mrs Cleaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835255790994645503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-26670393357993737992010-09-24T15:03:49.574-07:002010-09-24T15:03:49.574-07:00La Dama,
Thank you for the lovely comments! Targe...La Dama,<br /><br />Thank you for the lovely comments! Target is great! I love the furniture they have on their online site! I see a lot of retro styles but the shipping is a killer! If they had more retro wares in the store, I would be so happy! Even their online rugs are better than in store! <br /><br />Misty's toys are all over the house! LOL! Her favorite toy are the strips of plastic that come off re-sealable, pre-packaged, shredded cheese. She also loves her fillable catnip, plush mouse. Misty is 14 but she often acts like she is 2! <br /><br />As for the beads, I like adding them to table runners and table lamps too. I think the beading on the curtains make them look better. They had a plain, unfinished air about them.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-62301467458502209952010-09-24T14:49:29.979-07:002010-09-24T14:49:29.979-07:00I miss Target..oh they always have such cute house...I miss Target..oh they always have such cute household items and clothes used to buy my cardis there too..aww mistys toys make me smile..look like little orbs..you have been a crafty little worker..cute everthing..adding the beads was a great idea.doradadamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01115732129336500002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-71244049385370524832010-09-24T13:36:30.378-07:002010-09-24T13:36:30.378-07:00Thank you, Brittany!

Again, congratulations! <br /><br />As for Target, the one by my house is hit-or-miss but I was impressed when I was there the other day. The two sage green lampshades really were a surprise for sure! I also like Target for their basics like cardigans and the occasional pencil skirt. <br /><br />And about your kitties, I love the big chubby one! Such a pretty fur color too! Talk about too cute!! I used to have a "chunky little nugget" cat as well but we lost her to Lymphoma three years ago. <br /><br />Misty is indeed a 'fluff monster!' She loves to sleep between me and the husband and she has to be where we are all the time! It amazes me that she is only 9 pounds under all that fur! Once a year we have to take her to the vet for a"lion cut" because persian fur is really prone to matting. When Misty gets her cut, she looks like a skinny poodle rat! lol!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-51536244077219965562010-09-24T13:23:29.431-07:002010-09-24T13:23:29.431-07:00I love it!

Target really surprises me sometimes, both in some super cute vintage-y clothes and home goods. Misty is so sweet! I have 3 kitties of my own but none as fluffy as her!Brittany_Va-VoomVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377031677999463069noreply@blogger.com
