What's in your Hobby Lobby?

People sometimes say that Texans are a bit into themselves. I must admit that it is a bit pretentious; I mean we name vehicles named after the state, our flag is plastered everywhere and even bumper stickers that quote Davy Crockett, "You may all go to Hell, and I will go to Texas." However, I didn't realize that we were gaudy when no one else was! I assumed that everybody wore mums and garters to their school on homecoming day and to the game that subsequent evening. Tom thought we were all crazy, but I thought it was just because he was a northerner. But not so!! Even a few friends from California and North Carolina said there was no such thing! So, my question is...what is in your Hobby Lobby?! There are dedicated aisles FULL of ribbons, bells, flowers and all kinds of fun knick-knacks to wear to root on your special team! So, I'm hoping to shed some light on a little more Texas gaudiness! On the day of your homecoming game, gals wear a mum (with lots of gaudy ribbons) and guys wear garters on their arms (equally as gaudy!) Popular girls have lots of mums, or what I attribute as a 'chest mum'. It's a fun pastime that I can remember with fondness as a teen and I'm passing the tradition down to my boys. Josh's garter was a bit different as I put a 'tiger' in place of a flower. He enjoyed it as much as I did making it! Connor was a bit hesitant to wear one this year but I'm workin' on him....after all he WAS born in Texas!!!
