Knobby Treasure

A Hobby Lobby store is right up there with the public library

and World Market for stimulating my senses...in particular, my intestinal ones.

("Excuse me, please; would you point me toward the bathroom?")

It's a good thing we don't have these stores in southeast Virginia.

Talk about sensory overload! I find myself in the knob aisle,

and my brain starts whirling: where in my home can I use some of these

lovely treasures??

White with black Eiffel Towers, pink with orange polka dots,

sparkly blue and purple spheres.... 

I can't imagine why my dining room would need knobs,

since there's not a single drawer or cabinet to be seen,

but that didn't stop me from picking out four beauties anyway.

Aren't they splendid? And 50% off, too!

I've been looking for perfect-for-dining-room-windows fabric with little success.

I looked at a gazillion samples online, and wandered the fabric store aisles,

but nothing had the right color combination.

Only one swatch on a website showed potential,

but it was expensive and I couldn't be sure of the accuracy of the colors.

And then I walked into Hobby Lobby.

There it was! There it was!

The very fabric I had considered...and 30% off. 

Made my day.

Flutterbug enjoyed shopping at Hobby Lobby just as much as I.

Those are knobs in her hand, too - she's going to make herself a scarf rack.

We're on vacation right now, but when we return I shall analyze every room

and piece of furniture for knobability.

I also hope to finally repaint the dining room, which is a kind of faded 

bricky-pottery color, slightly browner and darker, and get some stitch-witchery

and slap some window treatments together.

And do something amazingly creative with those scrumptious knobs.

And then I shall walk in,

and promptly need to head to the bathroom,

and know that the room is just right!
