ANNICK GAUDREAULT • We’re so happy to welcome the work of Montreal illustrator Annick Gaudreault to the shop!

Alongside her own practice, Annick works with Les Impatients, supporting individuals navigating mental health challenges through art :) She leads a weekly workshop in Montreal, using creativity as a way to connect, process, and express!

Her prints carry a sense of softness and familiarity—small moments, gently held… We’re really honoured to have them here!

NEW NUT SNACK MIXES • From have landed at the shop, all the way from Laval, QC!

Sweet, salty, crunchy, and the kind of snack you pour into a bowl for “everyone to share”… and then quietly hover near for the rest of the evening!

Great for gifting, road trips, movie nights, or casual kitchen counter grazing!

Also, not to speak for the Easter Bunny, but we’re fairly certain these would be a welcome addition to any basket…

Available in-store and online!!
