We explained Madame Muriel to her. She loved the idea. Here she is with Muriel and me.
While Beatrice and I shopped, Muriel wandered the shop. When I checked my camera at the end of the day I found several shots of Madame. Here she is in the threads.

Next, I find she was in the pile of fat quarters admiring the wonderful colors.
After all that shopping, Beatrice and I were ready for some lunch. We went to a lovely deli called Basil's. Muriel had to have her photo taken with the backdrop.
Our next stop was Herma's. Muriel loved all the glitz and glitter and insisted on being photographed everywhere.

On the sculpture outside
On top of the angel sculpture
On the Spode tea set
In the crystal Christmas tree
Amongst all the glittery jewelry
and snuggled into the chocolate.
I insisted that she have her photo taken with the Canadian Maple Syrup.
Our next stop was Primitive Design. What a unique and interesting store this was.
There was the most awesome stuff everywhere.
Here is Muriel on the carved dragon
On the carved Indian
Resting with me on the awesome throne
and posing with me and Optimus Prime. You can barely see her over my left shoulder.
Along with Optimus Prime, they had BumbleBee and Megatron. I was very excited to see these artworks and they did not disappoint.My grandsons were very impressed that I had my photo taking with the Prime.
Beatrice is posing with an elephant made from driftwood.
What a fun day we had. All three of us were tired and ready to go home. A stop at a local ice cream shop ended our adventure.
Muriel says she is happy to rest for a few days.
I've been working on my nutcracker stocking with little show as it's all backstitching. I have decided to concentrate on it for a while as I would love to have it done for my grandson at Christmas this year.
