Well, not so much in the shoe department, as I still don't see a whole lot of size 11 shoes. It's the selection of Kipling purses. For a while, I have been longing for a purple Kipling purse. They are few and far between. I have a black one that I love. I managed to find a small purple one in Ottawa, which I adore. I found the same purple coloured Kipling purse at this store, but a bit larger. When I first saw it, I couldn't believe it. I held it and debated whether I wanted it. Rational me put it down and got on with my day. However, the day before I had to head home, I decided to stop by the store again. If this purple purse was there, it was meant to be mine. Otherwise, I would be okay if it went to a happy shopper to love. On Thursday, I arrived just before noon. It was there! It was mine! I now am the proud owner of two purple Kipling purses and am extremely happy. The cashier helping me out was great and friendly. She asked if I had a TJX Style card. I did and had it scanned. I paid using a debit card and all was well. The checkout area caters to both HomeSense and Marshalls. Another first was dropping by the women's washroom with a purchased item. I have rarely done it. However, since I had been out and about for at least a couple of hours, it was okay. I also wanted to declare this purse mine. The washroom was clean and spacious. It's in the far right corner of the store when you first walk in. There is plenty of parking in front of this store, both on Sunday and Thursday. I got spots pretty close to the main entrance. (257)

I'll definitely be back when I don't have the Hubster waiting outside for me, his patience for my clothes shopping growing incredibly thin. I didn't buy anything this time around, having blown my budget elsewhere all over Montreal, but my friend bought a cute dress with an owl print on it. Everything looked to be about $45.

Baby and children's items galore, from baby carriers to cloth diapers to toys to all the odds and ends kids seem to need. I went out of my way to visit because I wanted to try out a couple of different baby carriers. Unfortunately the time I visited there was no one particularly knowledgeable in babywearing, which is really too bad. I was told to come back another time when a babywearing monitor would be present, but as a busy mom finding a few moments to slip out of the house by myself isn't easy, and trying on multiple different carriers with my child is a no-go. Once he's up in a carrier, he likes to stay there, and gets rather grumpy when I have to put him down. Instead, being fairly experienced in babywearing myself I took advantage of being childfree to take my time checking them all out, trying them on and fiddling with all the adjustments. So in the end I didn't end up buying a new baby carrier here, but I did pick up a bunch of other doodads, like a new snack cup and some bath toys. It was definitely a worthwhile use of my time, and if I'm in the area again, or need a gift for expectant parents, I know where to go! And if ever I want help in choosing a baby carrier, I'll be sure to call ahead.

Câlins et popotin is a store for babies and their parents, specializing in baby carriers (câlins)…read moreand cloth diapers (popotin). It's a lovely boutique on Beaubien near de Lorimier. All questions are answered fully and the staff is very helpful...which means that sometimes it can be slow to get your question answered if they're busy with another customer. It's worth waiting as you're sure to learn something interesting. I initially found my way to the store because a friend had recommended Bravado brand nursing bras/tank tops and this store carries them. I returned a second time in search of a Snappi (gadget which replaces diaper pins for cloth diapers). Even though I had received a baby carrier as a gift (not purchased here) and was only buying a $5 item, the staff person took the time to show me how to use my carrier properly. Very impressive service. I was also impressed by the selection of handmade and locally-sourced items. I also appreciate having a good cloth-diapering resource nearby. Most of their diapers are pocket diapers and those aren't my favourites, but it's good to know where I can get specialty items like cloth-diaper-friendly ointments or eco detergents or swim diapers or cover-up bathing suits.

I bought my son a cute hoodie here 7 months ago for $20 and it lasted fall and winter and several washes! It's still in excellent condition which makes no sense as all his other stuff from Walmart is trashed. I was just here again for the street faire and found some designer t-shirts for my son for $24.
