I have good news for those of you who can't quite satisfy your Mortimer Snodgrass craving. With the arrival of the warm weather both stores will be open longer. Starting May 15, the Old Montreal location will stay open until 9:00pm everyday, and the St-Lambert store will be open on Sundays throughout the summer.
To celebrate Mortimer's extended hours, the store is being filled with lots of new merchandise, including a monster named Todd who, in addition to putting "undue pressure on himself to succeed," is a personal favorite of mine.
If you are looking for an outdoor activity this summer, why not get out those green thumbs and help the Earth. Mortimer Snodgrass has a series of eco-gardens and trees that can be planted inside or outside. They are lovely, yummy, and fragrant, but more importantly they allow you to give a gift that gives back to the environment.
And...What is summer without ice cream and popsicles? Well, without them my clothes would certainly be cleaner, and my hands a little less sticky. Dripstik has the solution: a durable plastic device that is essentially 2 products in 1. One side holds popsicle sticks and the other holds cones, and all drips and messes are caught inside it and stay off of you.
Happy Summer and Happy Shopping!
