Join me for a Spring 2026 Hobby Lobby Shop With Me as I explore what’s new in spring decor, florals, wall art, and creative supplies — all through the lens of an artist. I stopped by Hobby Lobby to pick up a few studio essentials, but while wandering the aisles filled with spring flowers, pastel color palettes, botanical prints, and seasonal home decor, I found myself asking a bigger question: Can an artist find real inspiration in mass-produced art and decor? In this video, we walk through the spring collections together — from floral arrangements and canvas prints to textures, color combinations, and design trends — and talk about how inspiration works when you’re a working artist. At the end of the video, I share a small studio haul and what I plan to use it for: • A new paint storage idea for preserving my water-soluble oil paints • A brush shaper product to restore worn-out detail brushes If you’re an artist, creative, or simply love spring decor and shop-with-me videos, I hope this inspires you to look at everyday spaces a little differently. Let me know in the comments: ✨ Did you see anything inspiring? ✨ Can mass-produced decor still spark creativity? ✨ What are your favorite spring color palettes this year?

Antiquing at the Largest Antique Mall in America
If you watched last week’s video, you know I spent the holidays away with my family at a ski resort — creating art, eating way too much, and laughing nonstop (while I avoided skiing because I’m extremely fond of walking 😂).
One of my favorite traditions during that week is taking myself on a cozy antique adventure, and this year I visited one of my favorite places — The Factory Antique Mall, said to be the largest antique mall in America. In this video, I take you along on my slow wander through the mall, including a visit to Amanda Mercantile Booth, which I discovered years ago and instantly fell in love with. If you’re an antiquing lover, you’ll definitely want to check out her YouTube channel — I’ve linked it below.
✨ Let me know in the comments: Have you ever been to The Factory Antique Mall? Or what’s your favorite antique spot? Thanks for being here. — Jan
