Raplapla - handmade with love in Montreal

Last weekend, I stumbled upon a lovely boutique / atelier on a small non-commercial street in MTL featuring locally handmade dolls & creatures and so I decided to take a peek as I was looking for a baby gift for a friend...


After browsing and marvelling at their adorable collection, I decided to pick one. 


As I went over to the cash to pay, the cashier then informed me that all creatures have names & small biographies. Turns out the randomly chosen penguin's name was none other than KARIM le pingouin! 
(my husband's name is karim!)


WHAT ?!
That is crazy weird! There were at least 2 dozen different dolls / animals / unidentified creatures to choose from and I unknowingly picked THAT ONE ! (names weren't on the dolls, she had to look inside her "catalog" in order to find out who I was adopting.)


The friend won't believe me. 


The lovely shop is on rue Villeneuve in Le Plateau, in Montreal. Worth checking out.
This is their equally cute website http://www.raplapla.com/
