Happy Halloween!

Greeting from Metchosin! I'm about to go check out the giant bonfire at the firehall but before I do, thanks to all who came for the opening. I'm hoping the great deals made up for the clutter around the place!
The picture, taken among that scary disorder that has persisted since the move, are haunting pieces by Ricky Ciccimarra and fellow Limner Myfanwy Pavelic. Are you able to tell who made which ones?

Happy Birthday to us!

Going from Four to Five....Having done our four years downtown we are most joyous to enter our 5th year here, in our new digs at 4357 Metchosin Road. October 17th marked the anniversary of Mercurio's opening in 2007.
To celebrate this special occasion we offered some excellent deals for those excellent Mercurio people...unframed works selected for this occasion, gems from gallery drawers and folios as well as from Kym's personal collection, and made viewable in a special picassa album. The response was great, and a number of our treasured customers walked away with some truly fabulous deals on some very unique and interesting pieces.
Stay in touch regarding our Grand Reopening October 30th.
