Merrickville is a charming town. It has character. Large, thickly walled buildings made to last. No big box stores. No Timmy Ho's or fast food restaurants. The canal is a big draw, as well as many festivals over the summer and fall. At this time of year the stores are primarily open Fri./Sat./Sun., but a few shops are open the rest of the week. Thankfully!
We pushed on into town. It was snowing, but a fine day. We still did some shopping.
What a lovely place: 1890.ca. Handmade soap and shower products, bubble bath bombs. All made there in their location on the main drag. I need smellovision for you to get the idea. We spent a bit of money! I'd make a poor living as a journalist, I didn't even ask their names. They are very tech-savvy, and are on social media. They are doing bath bomb workshops, too.

nothing better than a staycation these days...the US is not very appealing in these times. Maybe not even Quebec City come to think of it.
It looks so quiet, a lovely place to look at crafts and to stay. Icy roads!! Take care this week.
A good tourist town. We used to take company there, but since company never changes, we haven't been there for awhile.
Looks like you had a lovely time. I would have left the soap shop a bit poorer too!
I bet the smell of that soap shop was heavenly ...
All the best Jan
Merrickville does have a lot of character and warmth.
