We had never visited Lake Placid, but my dad had as a child. Before crossing the border we had to eat breakfast and we stopped at Les Coteaux (west of Montreal). Le Petit Casseau du Fort is a classic Québec diner in a new building but still has the same great food. Their hamburger steak plate is fantastic!
We took the long way to the border passing St-Anicet, Cazaville (where everybody seems to be called Caza) and other villages quaint but nameless.
Lake Placid is not that far from Montreal about 2 1/2 hours from my neck of the woods. We stopped for lunch in Saranac Lake, a real pretty village. The best part? There was this HUGE antique store, you know the kind, large,rambling with displays and stuff everywhere.....Even a basement with everything thrown all over with nearly no lighting. I had to use the flashlight app!
Yes I spotted the sad little fridgie :(
A sweet piece of Pyrex
More Pyrex? Well YES, YES, YES!
I nearly cried when I saw those ornements.
Shiny Brites! The stuff of dreams.
My dad remembers them from the 40's.
The only thing we didn't like was that nothing was priced! So I didn't buy anything.
My dad toyed with the idea of buying a samovar but after a good night's sleep decided against it.
Next post: More on this lovely road trip!

Did you ask how much the ornaments were??
I still will never understand why a bricks and mortar shop would not tag items with price tags...great store though.
I don't beleive this! First of all, you stopped in Coteau-du-lac( my living town) and not Les Coteaux and 2nd, I stopped too this Friday for breakfast! I noticed the restaurant's new coffee cups too! I was going to ask them if they are selling them also! Coline de bine, you could have had a coffee together!
Sounds like a fun trip! I went to Lake Placid on a week-end school trip in 1976 I believe. I don't remember much.
Coline de bine, you and France probably bumped into each other, lol!!
