OK, this may be really old news to all of y’all, but it’s new to me: Hobby Lobby carries some of the exact same decorative pulls as Anthropologie!!! I’m not saying very similar or good knock-offs, I mean the EXACT same. You can imagine how my heart sunk when I saw a different colored version of what Peter and I really wanted to use for a hutch that we were fixing up a few months ago. (I never posted after pictures but I plan to do that shortly.) Our color wasn’t there when we went but it looks like they used to have it and for a fraction of the price. This is the color they had:
And this is what we wanted:
We tried to order them online, but they sent us the wrong ones and then told us that they were out. But they’re still listed on the website, hmmm. Now that I know that they’re at Hobby Lobby for $4 instead of $8, I couldn’t bring myself to order them.
So tell me: is this old news or is it new to you too? (If you’ve known about this for a long time, then please try to let me down gently.)

OMG! I had NO idea!!! This seriously made my Monday. I’m going to tell all of my friends!
I’m glad its exciting news for you too! The funniest part is that Peter was impatiently waiting for me as I searched through the bead section and then once we found the pulls, I had to drag him away. It was really sweet.
You’d be surprised at some of the things they sell for waaay more than they’re worth. I’ve actually seen them selling the same clothes as Forever 21! I think they earn their pricing because they put so much time into carefully selecting and editing the merchandise that they sell. While F21 has 20% cute and 80% cheap and tacky, Anthro sells 95% cute.
Thanks Kasey! That’s good to know. I’ll have to start visiting Forever 21 more frequently.
I love Anthro, but as much as I love them, I hate to give them a red cent, because they’re owned by Urban Outfitters and UO gives money to all sorts of right-wing nonsense I’d rather not support.
Politics aside, their clothes are cute. Overpriced, but cute.
