Oh, Hobby Lobby...

Oh, Hobby Lobby, my friendliest of foes.

Among your aisles can be found a treasure trove of items to tempt a woman whose brain has been replaced by wedding bells.

You invite me in from the humid heat of St. Louis with an inviting, air conditioned breeze and immediately set my head spinning with shelves stocked full of autumn themed decor. Your plethora of harvest bowls, platters and pitchers mock me with the impossibility and price of shipping. Your intricate metal and glass tabletop pumpkins outright laugh in my face.

Your 50% off ribbon sales blind me to prices. 50% off is such a good deal! I thwarted you, however, and only spent $20!... On ribbon alone. Unfortunately, you still won since I purchased $20 worth of ribbon but still was unable to find the ONE roll of ribbon I'm hunting for: dark brown, satin ribbon.

But I cannot dislike you entirely because you did provide the adorable pumpkin-shaped pillow that I'll be using as a ring pillow. You and I have begun a love-hate relationship that I see lasting a LONG time.

It IS a wonderful store. I'm glad you are finding some of your wedding needs :) Enjoy planning!

That is why I went there once, and haven't ventured back! :)

I do my best to stay away from Hobby Lobby but during Halloween and Christmas time its pull is too strong and then I am in big trouble.

I LOVE Hobby Lobby! When I moved to Utah, I could walk into Hobby Lobby and be instantly transported home! (Hobby Lobby had it's start in my area and most of them look alike.) Also, no matter what you want, you just wait a week or two and it will be 50% off!
