Fun fact about me: I'm a crafting enthusiast. Embroidery, sewing, jewelry making – you name it, I've done it. Because of my passion for making things, I am a regular at Michael's. At my local Michael's, the sales associates and I are practically on a first-name basis.
Most of the time when I shop at Michael's, I make a beeline for the craft section – what can I say, I know what I want. But just last weekend, I got distracted. As I walked into the store, I couldn't help but notice the magnificent arrangement of fall decor in my periphery. I noticed decorative pumpkins, fall-themed table decor, and even pillows in fall color schemes.
About a half an hour and a cart full of fall-themed decorations later, I came to the realization that, because of my tunnel vision for all things arts and crafts, I'd been ignoring all of the stylish and affordable seasonal decor finds that Michael's has to offer. And I can't let that happen to you, dear reader.
