Mexican Sel Imports
recendy brought in a new line
of handmade tiles trom the
United States called the
Nature Series.

ture the natural wildlife af a
mountainside creck: frogs,
butterflies, ladybugs, spiders,
fish and leaves are jast a few of
the images painted in relief on
the eye-catching tiles.

“Qur customers — get
extremely excited by this
series,” said = Mexican Sol

guess it’s partiy the incredible
authenticity captured in each
tile as well as the appropriate
theme of small water crea-
tures...”

‘Although the tiles don’t
come cheap —a 2” tile is
$55, and the 4” is $65 — it

only rakes a few inserts to ere-
ate a whimsical finish tor your
bathroom.

Each of the tiles come in

NECESSITY is the mother of
invention, and in the case of
UpCountry Canada B.C.

Ltd. it war the inspiration for
the company.

Founded on the belief that
there was a detinite market
niche for — contemporary,
Canadian-made, handcratied
iurniture, UpCountry Canada
beeame a suceess in Toronto
nine vears ago. That's when
founder ‘Terry Iwaskiw assem-
bied a team of carpenters,
upholsterers ancl ironworkers
to create a unified vision.

This vision has since come
tobe known as rhe
“UpCountry Look.”

Now the look has come
west, With the opening of
UpCountry’s new Vancouver
stare at Cambie and 6th Ave.

Owners Beth-Anne Quinn
and Stephen Sutch see the
store’s contemporary designs
as geared rowards West Coast
condo living, perfect for
square, modular areas within a
highrise or loft.

It's not by chance that
Quinn and Sutch chose to
open the second store in
Vancouver.

“Same of the most skilled
craftsmen and designers work-
ing in the country are right
here in B.C.,” said Sutch.

He added: “We intend to
acuvely seck them out.”

Local talent is) already
highlighted in the store with
work by porters Jane and
Anne McDougall, the Nickel
tiles of artist Sid Dickens and
the retro-inspired works of
