Myrtle Beach, Part II: 3 other shops at Barefoot Landing

While we were at Barefoot Landing at the Waterfront in North Myrtle Beach, we spent a chunk of time in two stores, Christmas Mouse and Toy Kingdom, and I darted into a third shop quickly to get photos to verify the Purpleologist shop’s boast of being a “Lover of All Things Purple.”

I’ll start with Christmas Mouse, an all-things Christmas shop that I’d mentioned in my 2021 post on Barefoot Landing at the Waterfront, so I won’t devote a lot of pictures in this post about it other than the photo leading off the post, the two that conclude this store’s section of the post ... and a series of photos showing a curious “find” for those in our family who happen to be fans of the late Bob Ross, the painter who hosted the PBS television show The Joy of Painting from 1983-94.

Our “finds” were a figurine (first photo below) and various Christmas ornaments featuring Ross, which appear in photos below the figurine. 

One of the two other non-Bob Ross photos I took this trip at Christmas Mouse that I’ll feature here is interesting yuletide tree decorated in all silver ornaments (first photo below). To the left of the tree, is a display of silver-colored decoration options, available to purchase, to use for doing the same thing with your tree at home ... or to use in any other manner the buyer chooses, of course. A photo of the full wall of those decorations appears below the one of the tree. Click on the images to bring up larger versions of these or any photos in the blog. 

Next up is the Toy Kingdom, which we decided to check out to entertain the toddlers in our group and possibly to come up with kids’ gift ideas for Christmas 2025. The last photo in this section, the one of the stuffed lion, actually sat outside the entrance and greeted visitors. 

Last but not least, is Purpleologist, Lover of All Things Purple. And my quick dart inside — which took no more than a minute — proved that the boast is true to its word. The entirety of my shoot there, all of four photos (one of which is the exterior), appears below.
