Hobby Lobby – Not Necessarily The News

Tootie Landry talks about her experience in Hobby Lobby over the weekend in this edition of "Not Necessarily The News."

"Hey! I’m Tootie Landry and this is what I found out today! Just this past weekend I needed something at one of those arts and crafts stores here in Lafayette. O.M.G. did I get sensory overload by just walking in the doors! I couldn’t figure it out--- what do hobbyists do with all of this stuff?! 16 acres worth!! I know this is a “do it yourself” store, but folks, this is Easter decorations on steroids! I know at least ¼ of this store was just silk flowers and believe me, they had enough to carpet Arlington Cemetery on Memorial Day!

This store was so big; I immediately began to look for the golf carts just to get around! I almost used a gnome on Travelosity to book a flight just to get from the furniture to framing!

As I began to walk through this store, it became immediately apparent to me, I must be the only person in Lafayette who doesn’t have a rooster in my kitchen! There’s so much inventory in the store, you could easily pay off the National Debt! However, I still needed one item, but when I asked the clerk where I could find it, she pointed and replied, “It’s over there.” Lady, do you think I live here?! This store is as big as The Mall of America!

And finally, after wandering around the store and deciding not to decoupage anything or make an Easter wreath, I turned around and went home! And I’m Tootie Landry and this is “Not Necessarily the News!”
