Target shoppers....could you help please?

[billysmommy]

Over the past few weeks I have been getting things to re-do Billy's room. We didn't find out if we were having a boy or a girl so it is a neutral nursery. Well now that Billy is going to be 1, I would like him to have a little boy's room. I am going to stencil bugs (grasshoppers, dragonflies, lizards, bees, etc) around the room and have gotten some neat shelves too. Well I love the look of the PB letters they show in the kid's rooms in the catalog and when I was in Target a few weeks ago they had similar letters (just smaller) that the were perfect for what I wanted.
Well today I started doing the room and when I took one of the L's out of the package it was broken. So I went back to Target today and wouldn't you know they are clearanced with mostly the less popular letters left, no L's. So I've just driven around to 2 other Target's and none of them have L's.
I would totally appreciate it if any of you saw a letter L in a Target near you if you could pick it up and let me know. I will send you the money, plus whatever shipping costs. Thank you so so much :)

I'm going there this afternoon, so I'll look for you!

[deborah_r]

It's like a scavenger hunt! I might be going today, I'll look! Where do I look and can you give some info about the packaging, brand name, etc.?

EDIT: I could not find any :(

[papal]

We will be going to Target later today. Can you be a little more specific about the color and brand??? And what section was it in?

[billysmommy]

Thanks so much......

They're white letters and are about 5 inches tall. They are in a white box with light blue inside the box behind the white letter.

2 of the Targets I was at had them on a clearance end cap in the furniture section and 1 just had them randomly in the store.

The back of the box labels them as juvenile home decor.

Thanks again :)

I've seen them at my Target - I'll look again this week. You know you're going to end up with 15 "L"'s LOL :)

[houseof3boys]

I'll check mine too but I know they got marked down again so there wasn't much left yesterday when I was there!

[boys2enough]

Hi, did you ever hear back from anybody? I went to target this morning so I checked the furniture section for you. No luck. :-( I would have been really upset as well if I were you. I hope somebody else has better luck at finding it. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

So far, no luck :( I have people searching everywhere though so there's still hope. My MIL is looking in Maine, my brother in CT, my friend in NY and people here so hopefully someone will find one. I figure if not I may have DH try to make one :) It wouldn't be so bad if the other letters weren't hanging on the wall already :)

I will check during my weekly Target trip in the next few days. I know I saw some on clearance recently but I don't know if they had "L."

If you don't find what you like, I got some raw wood ones and painted them myself. I found several stores had different variations of size/style: Walmart, JoAnn Fabrics, Beverly Fabrics and I would *guess* Michael's (but I didn't go there). I also was inspired by the PBK ones, but I ended putting them on the outside of his door and painting scenes on them.

[papal]

Sorry Lori. No luck at our Target. :(
I scoured the furniture and childrens sections and asked the very unhelpful staff, but nothing! Gosh, i hope someone is able to find it. I will be going to another Target sometime in the middle of the week, I will look there too. They don't have them online right?

[RwnMayfair]

We went to Target today and took a look around while we were there, but no luck. :( I didn't even find any letters like that at all, so if they had them, they're sold out at the one we went to.

I hope someone finds an L somewhere though!

I looked for N O L A N a few weeks ago & I know I could not find all of the letters, I can't remember if I found an L or not, but I will double check.

Thanks so much everyone for looking.....everytime I go in our Target I keep looking, maybe one will magically appear :)

[cchavez]

I didn't find any today....sorry

[cinrein]

I checked my Target yesterday. I found the letters on clearance, but sorry no "L". I can hook you up with lots of Xs, Zs, and Qs.

You may have looked at this already, but Target.Com appears to have them, or something similar:

Are these the ones you want?

[toomanystrollers]

Sorry - no "L"s - lots of "X"'s and "Z"'s

[deborah_r]

Wow, those are expensive! $20 per letter! Very cute though!!!

[billysmommy]

No, these are much smaller, only 5 inches tall and were only 2.99 full price, now they are .74. I can find lots of X's, Y's, Z's, P's and Q's, no L's anywhere it seems though :(

[houseof3boys]

Sorry, no L's at my Target either!!

[Melanie]

I saw white wooden letters at Walmart! I don't know how they differ from Target, but they had quite a selection in the baby department so you could probably return the target ones if you found all your letters there.

Good luck!

[NancyJ_redo]

Argh. I was SO hoping I could find it for you, but only X's, Q's and 1 M.

[billysmommy]

Thanks so much for posting this :) We were able to find all the letters but B at Wal-Mart and then my mom found a B at hers and brought it up today. YAY :) Now I can return the other ones and hang these.....his room will now get finished :)

[Melanie]

Yay! I'm so glad. I know how frustrating that can be, especially with Target! I had Dh going to 3 different ones to get all the pieces I needed for a shelving unit one time.
