Happy Thursday, friends!
Well, I was planning on “not blogging” today because it’s my BIG FALL DECORATING DAY at home (and I think we all know my brain space will be filled with that and that alone), buuuut after a quick trip to Hobby Lobby on Tuesday to grab a few things, I thought I’d do a little show and tell before I go put out my pumpkins 🙂 .
I don’t know about you, but Hobby Lobby is my happy space between now and Christmas. I went in to grab a few basics and left with a few extras. Should you have a minute this week and want to grab a coffee and head into your local store, here are a few things you might want to find…
I must have stood there looking at these mini cutting boards for at least four minutes. I didn’t purchase them because I don’t exactly have a party in mind (just yet!) for them, but aren’t they so cute?!
They had both rectangle and circle boards. See how they’re showing you to use them? If I were hosting a big Thanksgiving dinner this year, I for sure would have grabbed them up!
Just so cute! Speaking of minis…
…how cute are these little mini copper mugs?! Wouldn’t festive little holiday shots BE ADORABLE in these?! I might need to go back and grab these too.
They had these in three different sizes. I thought they were a very cute layering piece (the large one would be cute propped up against a kitchen backsplash too!).
This travel agent bought this one! This will go outside my travel agency entrance 🙂 . It came with this design too…
…so festive, right?!
Now, here’s what else I bought…
I buy two of these little battery operated pumpkins each and every year. I would say that they *typically* last about three years, but I use them all over the house and have them from many different years, so I always buy two to add to spaces when any of mine “go out” after sitting in storage for a year. See…
…here are two from last year. Aren’t they adorable?!
I used this just last night when I hosted the freshman cheer moms for a wine and appetizer craft night. I added…
…these for an easy addition to our spread. (If you missed my TRADER JOE’S POST YESTERDAY, go back!)
These fall muffin liners are actually why I stopped by Hobby Lobby in the first place. I almost always buy my muffin liners, holiday/festive sprinkles and food coloring there.
I grabbed Mades this to add to her “fun bag”. That’s the bag you guys always see pictured. She takes it with her everywhere…
… see 🙂 .
Hand soap for the bathrooms, check!
I bought myself a new candle! I thought it smelled really nice, but it was the jar that I loved the most!
Speaking of which, I also headed to Hobby Lobby to buy more…
…lighters. Because this time of year, can you have too many? I don’t think so.
One last find…
…yes, yes, I do. I put this baby to work right away…
And now I’m off to decorate my house for fall!
If you’re looking for two more fall finds today…
…make sure you check out my CIDER SAUSAGE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE and…
…APPLE BUTTER OATMEAL COOKIES!
Have a wonderful Thursday! I’ll see you back here tomorrow! xx

I’m going to say something to you right now that I’m not sure if I’ve ever admitted to you.
And I’m not sure if you’re prepared for this confession.
I don’t decorate for fall.
I feel like a weight has been lifted. Can we still be friends? 😉
Mix and Match Mama says
I’m going to have to pray about this.

I think I need those light-up pumpkins! I might need an extra set for my classroom. 😉 And that mug! 😍 Thanks for sharing your finds!

Never been to a Hobby Lobby. Is the quality of the products akin to a dollar store—cheap, made in China, designed for short term use? That has always been my impression, but the stuff you are showing looks actually nice!
Mix and Match Mama says
You should go! I would say not at ALL! I think the quality is far superior than anything you buy at Target or Home Goods.
Amy Androff says
Their brand of candles are great! They actual do smell
So good even in large, open spaces. The have a sale price every other week on them and right now their fall scents are 40% off.
Kristin Lyngaas says
There’s super cute quality things there! I found a bunch of adorable hand towel hooks there, and wanted to even get some of their small furniture pieces. It’s really nice because they display things in themes! Like beachy, farms, super heroes, etc. It’s super easy to find what you are looking for! It’s a Christian based company so they even have daily devotions, Bibles, books etc too!
Jenny N says
Definitely not dollar store quality! I buy so much holiday decor at Hobby Lobby. They have great frames, candlesticks, baskets, lamps, vase stems, craft stuff, puzzles, etc. They run 40% off specials each week. Don’t ever pay full price for anything. Just go back the next week and it will typically be on sale.
Melissa Terry says
I’ve had a running Hobby Lobby list on my phone for a few weeks in anticipation of a fun fall trip and this just added to that list! I love the coffee mug, rattan pumpkin and mini charcuterie board! Thanks for sharing
Kay says
This post was SO fun-I love that you added in a sneak peak! My #1 favorite posts (though I love them ALL) are Fall and Christmas decorating. So this was a perfect teaser and you found such cute stuff! I may have to go to HL to check out that pumpkin shaped basket-toooo cute!
Happy decorating and cannot wait to see that post!
Debbie says
On my way to Hobby Lobby to get some of those Disney fall mats for my Disney obsessed husband!😍
Mix and Match Mama says
YAY!!!
SS says
Shay,
Those Mickey rugs are so cute!!
Have fun decorating! We are at 65 right now! Oh and the deer have been coming into our yard! Fall, right???
Skimama says
We need more details about cheer mom craft night!!
Mix and Match Mama says
We made their megaphone mums for homecoming at my house last night! It was so much fun!
Heather says
I would be interested to hear what this is about. Not from Texas so this isn’t a thing in our state 🙂
Ashley Byars says
Hey Shay!
do you ever use a rechargable lighter? We switched to them a couple years ago and they are game changers! They USB charge.
Mix and Match Mama says
We have not! I need to try them!
Faith says
Almost bought those light up pumpkins on Monday. I will def be going back!! I have been to hobby lobby twice in one week…..what’s a third time, right?
Mix and Match Mama says
It only makes sense 🙂 .
Debbra Weber says
Thank you for sharing! I LOVE PUMPKINS, EVERYTHING FALL. I created a new Pinterest Page for “Hobby Lobby” because of your post this morning! 🙂 I am going to make your Apple Butter Cookies to take to both of my college boys this weekend.
Have a great day decorating!
Corrie Freeman says
Shay- ai love your fall decorations. I wanted to share something I purchased on Amazon last year that is a top five for me!
SUPRUS Electric Lighter Arc… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098VYV9WP?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I think you would really like it!
Jennifer Bethune says
Such fun! I’m going to need to head that way for some small flannel print gifts. Will definitely be looking for those muffin liners, cute! Happy decorating!
Ruby Huling says
I switched from the Bic lighters to arc lighters that come with USB chargers and they are one of my favorite finds on Amazon!! Those cute cutting boards are perfect for an afternoon snack, charcuterie style!
Susie says
Love this post! I’m running to HL for that wooden pumpkin tray! It’s Fall decor perfection!
Btw Shay, I made your Cheeseburger Pasta last night and my family loved it! It’s going on our meal rotation. Simply delicious! Thank you! 🤗
Mix and Match Mama says
YAY!!! Thank you so much for letting me know!
Connie says
I love the little charcuterie boards!! I found some at Hobby Lobby earlier this year on clearance that either say “yum” or “enjoy“. I bought a few of each. They may be a tad smaller. I bought them for my little family for our first Christmas in July party this year! We had so much fun!
Ashley says
Will you please do a post on the freshman cheer moms wine and craft night? I would also love posts about Homecoming dress shopping, maybe a Kensington day in the life of a cheerleader on game day, and a week of school lunches where you share what everyone is taking. Those would be fun!
Mix and Match Mama says
I should have taken photos! Agh! The cheer moms have a tradition where they get together and make the mums that go into their megaphones for homecoming. I hosted the 16 freshman moms last night and we made our girls’. Homecoming is next week, so I will totally try to incorporate more of that. Thank you for suggesting it!
Kelly Gerhardt says
I love decorations for fall. I always decorate when school starts. Living in Texas with this dreadful heat we need something that makes us “feel” like it’s Fall 🍁🍂
Mix and Match Mama says
Amen and AMEN!!
Jennifer says
You need to know that I’m REALLY trying to like fall more. I have a love/hate relationship with the season. I think it’s because I am a Summer Girl and in Wisconsin, we know the weather is going to get cold before long once the leaves turn…but it’s also GLORIOUS and GORGEOUS here with our beautiful bluffs and apple orchards! So I always have mixed feelings, which I’ll admit…lean negative. There, I said it. But this year? This year, I started burning a fall candle on September 8th and I’m ready. Bring on everything (besides pumpkin-flavored anything). Happy Fall, Shay!
Desiree Leone says
Now you’ve inspired me to head to Hobby Lobby! It’s pretty far from me, but I’m going to turn it into an adventure! Yay!
