Autumn Fair 2012 at The Camellia, Thunder Bay, On



Autumn is here! You are invited to our Autumn Fair which starts today and runs until Sunday, September 30th. 2012. How do you feel about the change in weather? Are you sad to see Summer go, are you waving Good Bye to the flocks of geese as they fly overhead, noisily honking away?  Or are you a "Thank goodness it's cooling off "  type of person, can't wait to pull on your favourite sweater and boots?  
This Autumn, we have a lovely selection of goods at The Camellia, carefully chosen just for you. Look at the made-to-look-like vintage cushions above, aren't they just perfect for a European themed room. .




 

 Here's a peek at a custom order that we designed for a very special front door. Not your traditional Fall piece, but it does speak to you of Autumn, earthtones, and leaves swirling in the wind.




Here's one of our new Fall handbags, paired with one of Sarah's hand-made scarves.




 Look at this hot number, good for those parties that pop up around Christmas. it comes in lots of other colours - silver, purple, black, white, grey.




Epol bags are the bag for the sportsey person, or an upscale alternative to the Lunchpail. Lots of pockets and places to fit everything. Tough, can-take-all-you-dish-out bag.





We have had a fantastic growing season ( except for the chomping caterpillars) , and our Sunflowers are spectacular, the bees think so too! 



  The colours of the sun and ripening Olives are echoed in this tablecloth - water repellent and stain resistant. Most clients buy 1 of these, and come back for a couple more. Rave reviews on these. Try 1 today, many colors and patterns in stock at the store.






Let us custom-make a Floral design for your Home - lost of containers to choose from. 






  A peek at some of our in-store displays.




 Many new signs in - where to place them? Hallways, Living-rooms, entranceways, they will look good anywhere.






Gift selection - Set of 4 custom chicken placemats - with 2 chicken mugs, in a wire basket, $71.63. The mugs are a Warren Kimble design, from Sakura,Oneida. Call toll-free at 1 -877-523-7444 to order. You can also order fresh flowers of Fruit baskets for delivery in the Thunder Bay area.








Some of our grapes we grew --so sour, but we grow them for flower arrangements. Look at those colours though, you could theme an entire room around them .




 A faux-botanical bouquet, we've added greens in from our Garden, doesn't it look great?




 One of my aims this Fall is to sit and Light a candle.  These are special Soy candles, poured especially for you, by Canadian hands. Yummy smells! 




 Our goodies from the Cutting Garden.







Take a look around you and harvest what you can for Fall decorating. These are grapevine leaves, which we preserved with glycerin. You can buy glycerin in the drug store, combine 1 part glycerin to  3 parts hot water. Place stems into solution and leave for at least a week, sometimes 2. Your leaves will stay nice and soft but will turn brown.

Some like it HOT, but some like it cool..The Camellia, Thunder Bay



Some like it HOT, but some, like my Golden above, like it cool. How about you? Do you view the approaching Fall with dread, or are you a bit fed-up with the heat and high humidity?




 Plants are still blooming away ... here are Heavenly Blue Morning Glories.  It's been such a hot, tropic-like Summer, and the plants have been loving it. As long as you can keep up with the watering....






And today, even though it's maybe 100 degrees out, we're thinking Fall, and busy changing displays and adding our new Fall product to the store.



With all the flowers still blooming in the Garden, Bouquets can be quickly thrown together. I like to use branches laden with apples, and Grapevine branches , heavy with grape clusters.



 Time to start thinking about decorating for Fall - here are simple fern bundles from the Farm





 At Camellia's, we have fabulous new Purses, and lots of evening bags with bling.





One of my favourite activities in the Fall - going for a walk or a Hike. 


Have a fun long weekend, and be sure to stop in at Camellia's! Open Wed. through Sunday. 
Sat. 11-5, Sun. Noon-5p.
