My Favorite Store

Did I mention I love my new neighborhood ?

That I feel alive more so than the last 5 years? I love the neighborhood life, the cafés, the bistros and the little one of a kind shops...

Speaking of which, I am head over heels about  this adorable shop that is just one block away from my house.

 I present to you the Lambert Gratton General Store.
Located on the corner of De Bullion street and Duluth, it opened in June 2015.

 Every item in this delightful space is curated with love and care.
Here you can find amazing local products, handmade soaps,
mustards, sauces, soft drinks, cards...
all made in Quebec!

 And a beautiful selection of vintage items,
all reasonably priced.

 Check out all the glassware!
I am sure you could find a missing piece for your set.

 The artisan spruce beer and root beer are my personal faves!

 They also have a delightful selection of Pyrex.

Aren't these beautiful displays?

 A nice selection of tools for the gardener.

 And even some fab vintage lawn chairs....

My latest find? those adorable kitschy S&P shakers..
Just because....

So folks if you are planning a Montreal visit, be sure to visit 
Magasin General Lambert Gratton and like them on Facebook
@www.lambertgratton.ca

See you there!

Local Vintage Flea

Who knew there was a monthly vintage flea market in a church basement 20 minutes from my house?

I sure didn't! Well we went last Saturday and it was really nice!

I was also able to deliver a Pyrex bowl set to a lady who bought it on Facebook!

 Does anyone remember those candy canisters?

 A great booth always has great vignettes!

 Okay,okay I regret not buying this trivet!
I hope to get it next time!

 A romantic vignette for Valentines


We bought this sunburst wall clock at a really good price.
Last time we saw some they were $250 and up.

Meghan is adjusting just fine...better than we are....

Be well and keep thrifting.

I really appreciated your condolences. 

They made me feel better.
