Happy Thanksgiving from The Camellia, Slate River, On





FALL is upon us, and Thanksgiving is almost here. 





Set a beautiful Table with faux flowers, like the design above. Flowers can be changed out seasonally, and the glass vase is airy and light. Using top quality, realistic looking faux flowers is a must. 




Pumpkins are lovely for Pumpkin Pie, and Cake and lattes.....














Order fresh flowers to send to someone you care about ... we deliver in Thunder Bay and area. Call toll-free at 1-877-523-7444. This is a lovely shop in Sonoma Valley, Cali. (we wish our shop looked like this, though).














Come into our store, The Camellia, for Tablecloths - these are water repellent & stain resistant. Most spills will wipe up with a damp rag, and they are machine washable. We have many patterns in stock.They are sized in rounds 70", squares 70" x 70", rectangles 78" long, 94" long, and up to 126". not sure what size your table is? just think about how many can sit at your table. A 94" rectangle holds 4 persons sitting across from one another, plus 2 persons on the ends, with a 10" overhang on each side.
