Summer Lovin




So, ok, everybody says that the city they live in is SO small. Well, Montreal (POP over 1M) is pretty tight knit. You can easily walk into a store, and the owner knows your mom, or the person who works there was in your math conference last semester. Case in point: yesterday, I had a bus accident AKA the bus driver decided is was quitting time about 50 stops too early and I ended up in the STM (Montreal Public Transportation System) garage. It was a lovely experience. BUT I did spot this adorable little shop in the old Greek village here, and walked in today. It was owned by a friend of a friend's mother? Not only is the entire place STUFFED with quality vintage (even the shower holds some awesome amazing jackets) but the owner serves you tea and cookies, takes your photo, and talks. TALKS AKA INTERACTS. Anywho, the owner was a friend's mom? You don't get that anywhere but in this fine city. I would have taken photos, but you're not allowed to (owner wants to avoid the blogosphere). Good finds - will post later because it's summer in Montreal (big deal after blizzards, especially last week's blizzard. Yes, last week.) and I want to lazy around. But I did pick up the rosary and belt in above photos. And other things!
