Canadian Content by Charles van Sandwyk

Fans of Charles van Sandwyk will love his latest book “Canadian Content”.  It’s not only an ode to the beauty of his native Canada but a tribute to all that is right with the world! This gentle story and beautiful set of illustrations makes a wonderful gift for a child, and nature love, or just someone you love.

The front cover is elaborately stamped in black and gilt, with a color illustration set within a decorative border; pictorial end sheets, and a decorative title-page. Twelve color illustrations are interleaved throughout, nearly all of which are full-page images (there is a double-page center-fold image and two smaller vignette size images).  $70.00  Available in-store or online.  To shop online, click here

Holiday Gift Display at Merrick's

With everything else that did, or didn’t happen this past year, why not make this the year that you truly do get back to a old fashioned holiday?

We’ve all tightened our belts over the past months (even Santa is measuring a few inches thinner, we’ve heard), and that can be a blessing in disguise.  Make this the year you skip the mall nightmare, skip the overload, skip the stress….and enjoy the peace and beauty of this holiday season.

At Merrick’s we know that gift-giving is still an important part of the holidays. It tells our loved ones they’re in our hearts and minds and that we treasure them. It sends a special “thank you” to those who have helped or served us. It reminds a friend that we cherish their friendship.  When considered this way, gift-giving should be filled with joy, not stress, as we choose that “perfect thing” and anticipate the look on the recipients face when they open it.
