So, where was I to go? Well, downtown shopping of course. I love to visit the local stores and support them with my business whenever I can and have made many a new friend that way. My first stop was The Queen's Cupboard a delightful emporium of old and new items, owned and run by Pat (she's a character and a half) and this is what I bought there - looks perfect on my new trunks that I bought yesterday at My Marie's.........
I'm referring to the metal creamy/brown bird. Isn't he cute? From there I headed down to Bruce Street and in the store where Cheryl and Co. used to be there is now an antique store (it used to be next door but moved to get more space). I must say, he had a lot of interesting items in there and my eye fell on...... are you waiting for this MYRIC? a figurine of what I imagine to be "Anne of Green Gables". I cannot swear to it, but it sure does look like someone's rendition of her. What do you think Myric? I have to explain, I had just been reading Myric's blog http://myricandreasen.blogspot.com/2011/10/anne-of-green-gables-room.html where she was talking about a special room dedicated to Anne of Green Gables, very touching, you must go there and read about it yourself. Anyway, when I saw this figurine I just couldn't resist it and now here it sits on my refinished microwave stand................
Then I came home with my new-found treasures but there was still shopping time left and as it was such a beautiful day I just had to go out again. In the mail this week I had received a special invitation to attend a sale at another beautiful boutique here downtown, "The Ideal" a gift store, but I would be away when they had their Christmas sale next week. I thought it would be a good idea if I just went and had a look around, not really expecting to see anything that I needed at that moment but I fell in love with this little kitty, especially as it was in "my colours". Isn't he cute?..................
