Interestingly, when you walk into the front entrance of a Hobby Lobby store, you are greeted with a room full of home furnishings rather than crafts. I saw a variety of shelving units, outdoor garden statuary, benches, accent tables, and large decorative trunks.  Hobby Lobby is a superstore with thousands of products in dozens of various departments.

I can spend hours in Hobby Lobby and still feel as though I've only scratched the surface.  The crafting area is stocked with everything you could dream of -- scrapbooking supplies, paints, woodworking, polymer clay, floral arrangements, artists canvases, models, and textile crafts.  Hobby Lobby also offers some of their merchandise at their online store, craftsetc.com.

In another section of the store I can browse for fabrics for quilting and other home dec projects.  Hobby Lobby has great prices and a decent selection of fabrics, some that I hadn't been able to find at my regular fabric store.  In addition, there's plenty of yarn and embroidery floss for needle arts, as well as a notions wall for all of those extras I always seem to run out of.

In the middle of the store, you'll find thousands of items for home decor and gift ideas.  Lamps, candles, wall hangings, paintings, decorative accessories, plants and any other items you can think of to decorate your home.  The inventory changes frequently enough that I'm always able to find something new and interesting during each visit.

Another positive feature about Hobby Lobby is that they have weekly coupons for great savings.  During my last visit I had the opportunity to save 50% off jewelry making kits, art supplies ceramics and pottery, framing, leather crafts, and children's activity kits.

A store like Hobby Lobby is a great convenience because it means I don't have to shop at several different specialty stores to get the items I need for my home.  If you haven't stopped by recently I suggest you give it a try.  You're likely to leave with an unexpected treasure and a smile on your face.

This was really interesting! I wonder if they have supplies for people who build miniature furniture? Probably with that much stuff on display, it is hard to notice everything. Well, going offline for a while -- catch ya later!

I've never heard of this store. I'll have to check to see if it's in my neck of the woods. Sounds like a great store. I'd probably be dangerous in there though...I do love to buy craft stuff.
