my halls are ready and waiting
Hot dog!!
How excited was I to stumble upon Tord Boontje for Christmas at Target! Picked up the last 2 sets they had of this garland. They didn't have these yet but I'm going to stalk Target until they come in.

Wow!!! the garlands are a must have... how lovely... they'd be the perfect little holiday treat for my sewing circle friends... I've been wondering why I've been feeling the pull of Target lately (in the middle of a giant house decluttering!) but it must have been those garlands. (I also need to get Target's frog shaped humidifier for the kids room) As far as the dishes go, the cereal bowls are a necessity ...how cute are they?

Wow, how cool. I'm running to my target tonight to see if they have any. :)

OMG, yet another reason I bemoan the fact that there is no Target in Canada. I think I like the gold dishes even better -- I think I may take my girlfriends up on their offer to road trip to Montana to hit the Target. And I love the garland too!

Have you checked out Old Navy lately? They have robot ornaments. They made me think of you.

ooh, how awesome is that garland!? it would look fab any time of the year, much less xmas, methinks.

Must get some of that garland.

Why why why does Target not come to England? I think I could single-handedly support a whole store.

How beautiful!!

What, you mean you haven't already been stalking Target? I'm there like every other day, practically. Now that they opened a new one less than a mile away, I think I should just get sleeping bags for the kids and move in. Much more efficient. If you want any more of those garlands, just let me know! I'll keep my eyes open for them.

i guess i will have to fight off every one of your local readers at my neighborhood target... those are great!

OH MY GOSH! Those are so pretty!~ My nearest Target is an hour away, but I'm thinking a trip over is long overdue. WOW!
Posted by: Paula | Nov 8, 2006 11:59:31 AM
Woo hoo! Thanks for the tip! I've been thinking bright colors plus white for my decorations this year...
Posted by: Ani | Nov 8, 2006 12:13:19 PM
I have been waiting for the Tord stuff to get in! Is it already selling out?? Ay, gotta get there.
Posted by: amy h | Nov 8, 2006 12:53:31 PM
How cute would that garland be wrapped around gifts this year...heading over there today.

Hi from your Wheaton reader!
Our Wheaton Target (on Roosevelt Road) has the dishes. They're not with the Christmas stuff, but on an end-cap by the Smith and Hawken stuff. They had them in gold too.

What a great score! Target keeps surprising me these days with some great stuff.
Posted by: Toni | Nov 8, 2006 2:13:17 PM
Of course I'm pleased for you, but... I want one!! In fact I want several. When will Target open in the UK, please?
*cries*

Wow, those are gorgeous!

I'm so happy we're getting a SUPER Target just in time for Christmas! I love his stuff and if you go to his website he has pictures of his spectacular set up that he's doing at Union Square in NYC to celebrate the deal with Target- It's an interactive light show with all of his cut-outs in life size! What I wouldn't give to see it! Maybe someone will YOU TUBE it! Check it: http://www.tordboontje.com/

Saw your post earlier and just went to target to try to get the garland. Couldn't find it anywhere though! They did have the dishes you wanted...since they're not available online I could always pick some up and send them to you if you still can't find them! You can always email me at lindsey892 (At) aol (Dot) com!
Posted by: Lindsey | Nov 8, 2006 7:09:23 PM
wow... go target! i got some great modern dishes with flowers on them awhile back that made me really happy. they are doing some incredible lines.
Posted by: amisha | Nov 8, 2006 8:13:50 PM
That's so cool! I MUST have that too!

Great Garland - for others in the UK who can't jump on a plane and head for Target try www.pedlars.co.uk they stock some of Tord Boontje's beautiful work.

Thanks for posting about the garlands. Last Friday I was in Target when they were installing all of the hanging displays for Christmas. I wanted to ask for any leftovers.
After I saw your post, I rushed to Target last night after work. It took me forever to find the garlands and the employees didn't know where they would be. I finally found them near the front with the Christmas paper plates and napkins. I picked up the last four garlands and a package of the window decals.

Oh man! I was just at Target and I got these beautiful trees http://simplyradiant.blogspot.com/2006/11/quiet-weekend.html#links (that were way too exppensive, but I couldn't resist) Now I'm going to have to go back for the garland! Thanks for the info!
Posted by: Stephanie Ford | Nov 9, 2006 4:12:27 PM
I'm glad Target threw us a bone here and made something available with the paper cuts, or else I would have had to resort to ripping the ceiling displays down to take home (though I'm still not convinced that is such a bad idea...)
Posted by: jennifer w. | Nov 9, 2006 4:26:58 PM
I GOT MINE I GOT MINE.. and I'm with Jennifer W.. I really want to take down that GIANT ceiling display. Seriously, do we know someone at Target to score it for us????
Posted by: Pam | Nov 10, 2006 1:52:32 AM
WHY did I read this 10 minutes AFTER Target closed???
Posted by: Abby | Nov 10, 2006 9:13:24 PM
oh my goodness! we have target in Australia but they don't have Tord :( If you (or anyone else out there in blogland) are willing to track down a garland or two & send them to me, I'll send you whatever you want from Australia! Please?
Posted by: carolyne | Nov 10, 2006 9:50:20 PM
What a beautiful garland!
Posted by: natascha | Nov 11, 2006 6:04:54 PM
i got mine too! yay! also, anthropologie has had some of his designs in a cobalt/blue dinnerware set and it's now on clearance with an additional 40% off. it might be hard to find a complete set, but if you loved the design it might be worth it for the price. (it's the reindeer looking pattern)
cheers!

I WANT I WANT I WANT!
*Throwing myself on the ground to have a tantrum because Australian Target and US Target are completely different and so they'll never turn up here*
Posted by: The Shopping Sherpa | Nov 13, 2006 3:32:05 PM
NO FREAKING WAY! Why oh why did I bypass Target in my errand running (sans kids, even) on Saturday???? I was only a couple of doors down, even.
As for yesterday's post I'm a bit jealous that you have somebody who actually enjoys the search for the perfect Christmas decorations. I can't even imagine what life like that would be like. Actually, my father in law is one of those guys. His son didn't inherit that quality, I guess.
Posted by: Siri | Nov 14, 2006 1:54:16 AM
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who fell for these. . . .I had serious second thoughts over the price, but they are lovely, aren't they? I got the deer and the rabbits.
Posted by: sherry | Nov 14, 2006 2:55:41 PM
Aaah, thanks for the heads-up! I just grabbed 2 of these garlands at Target, too. Sweeet!
Posted by: Melissa | Nov 14, 2006 5:27:19 PM
I just scored a reindeer garland.. didn't realize there were swan garlands too! guess i'm going over there again tomorrow!

Has anyone checked ebay for this Tord garland and other Tord goodies? I saw that there is a lot of it on there.
