Michael Graves' final collection for Target hit stores this month. In addition to good taste, Graves apparently has been blessed with good timing.

Graves helped established Target as destination for trendy home merchandise. But as the economy soured, Target has been relying more on food and household products to drive sales, hoping some of that pixie dust will eventually rub off on higher margin items like Graves' creations.

Here's a peek at some of the merchandise:
