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

See you there!

My new creation

I have been wanting to make stuffed animals for a while now...And I made my first yesterday!

It does look handmade a lot and when I look at it I feel proud and warm and fuzzy inside!!! You can see that this kitten had a little snack earlier....hehehe

I had never worked with fleece before and it kept stretching on the sewing machine! I'll surely know what to expect next time.

I have the crafting fever....I'm itching to create jewelry, stray sock animals and more fleece kittens....One of my Xmas gift from Dan was a work lamp with magnifying glass...I can't wait to try it...I might tomorrow 'coz we have no celebration scheduled! Which I find kinda cool, it's certainely different....and full of potential

Later!
