Stocking Stuffers at The Camellia, Thunder Bay, Ontario



Christmas is fast approaching and we have all kinds of Stocking Stuffers at The Camellia, No-Crack Hand cream is great for guys and gals that work their fingers to the bone. It can be kept in the car, and in the biting cold. $5.99 and up.




Every year I vow to have a clean house... what can I say about this? We did buy a fresh tree, it's gracing the garage at the moment. We have to do the move things around shuffle so that the Tree can fit in the Living room. Plus the snow and the wind created a mountain outside on the deck, so shovel, shovel....If you have to clean, Farmhouse Lemon Verbena products make it all better ( leave it in plain view on the counter so that any germaphobe visiting Family members will see it). 




Lavender Soap from Matanzas Creek Organic farm .....oh so good. You can tell the gift receiver  this is why you raced off to St. Helena, California. For the express purpose of getting their Gift. Nothing to do with the -30 degree temperatures here. 




Heat guard neckties are good for those who are heading off to tropic climes, those suffering from hot flashes, and those undergoing chemo. 




Rocky Mountain Foot butter .. great for those who have dry heels in the Winter, grab a pumice stone also.









Napa Valley Soap - $9.95 , and at the Camellia, we also carry it in liquid soap.  Made from grapeseed oil and wine, pair up with a bottle of wine for the perfect Indulge Gift.

Time to Wintergreen those planters and Windowboxes! The Camellia, Thunder Bay



 Good-Bye to those beautiful warm,  sunny Summer days. Sigh.. I never meant to spend most of the year in a cold climate.





 Good-bye to time spent lounging outside on the warm, sunny patio in the company of lush green planters.

 

 

Those same planters that are now filled with sad-looking frozen plants, except for some hardy mini pansies. Time to fill those planters with evergreens, to make them look beautiful for the winter season. Now is a good time to trim your evergreens, for use  in your planters.





 A trip around the back 40 to pick tag alder, red dogwood, white pine, jack pine, and cedar. And birch brances. Better that I pick the cedar, otherwise my resident deer will topiary them for me.





 I started here with spruce boughs as my first layer, placing them into the soil on a diagonal, along with the tag alder branches in the middle. Then I added balsam, pine, cedar and cones. You can add whatever you like. Jam the branches deep into the soil to secure them so that the wind will not blow them away.




 These planters   are coming along nicely, but we'll take a break here to help out at The Wedding Wishes Show on today at the Valhalla Inn. So get out there and start Wintergreening your planters. You can purchase Mixed bundles of greens for your planters here at the Camellia, along with seeded eucalyptus, magnolia, and B.C. cedar. Check our website for prices, www.thecamellia.com



Get your orders in for fresh Wreaths as soon as possible!
 Call us at 807)475-3551. The Camellia, 30 Hacquoil Rd. Thunder Bay. 
We are getting ready for our Winter wonderland show. If you are out on the Thunder Bay Art Gallery's Christmas House Tour ( Nov. 9 and 10th. 2013) , come visit us!
Open Wed. 11-5, Thurs. 12-7, Fri. 11-5. Sat. 11-5. Sun. 12-5.
