Metchosin Has Got its Stink on this Weekend!

It's the Stinkiest Summer Weekend of the year out here in Metchosin, with the Stinking Fish Studio Tour beginning today, August 3 through to the August 12th, 2012. This is the time of year when all the quirky, incredible artisans hidden away in Metchosin open their doors to the world, and art enthusiasts are invited to meander from studio to studio. And considering Metchosin's locale, many of these studios and their surrounding forest and gardens are aesthetic statements in and of themselves.
Mercurio is right in the middle of the action, with our location here in downtown Metchosin. Come stop by and say Hi!
Cheers,
The Mercurio Team

This little vase is was made by Van Briggle in 1903, it's signed, marked double AA and III, and is in perfect condition. You like? Perhaps you have a Nita Forrest watercolour to trade? A groovy Grove?
We're looking for Limners at Mercurio...and we love to trade and barter... so keep us in mind when you feel in the mood for a beautiful change.

Our website is under renovation...but you can watch this blog for Mercurio news while we prepare updates to our web platform !
