Fake Fruit
Where would you go if you were looking to add a bowl of fake fruit to your decor? St. Paul Street in Old Montreal has the wrong reputation of having just tons of souvenir shops for tourists. Since I poke through store by store, I know there are really worthwhile ones to enter on that street. Tant qu’il y aura des fleurs…has been in my Smart Shopping Montreal book for years as there are always homey objects to flesh out your decor scheme: quilts, roosters, candlesticks, vases, serving dishes. But each time I walk in, my eyes search out the display of fake fruit: apples, pears, bananas, grapes, lemons, peaches, etc. which has been there forever. Who is buying them?
