Hello September!! Have you noticed it's a lot darker in the mornings now..? We have been busy picking and drying herbs and Flowers for Winter enjoyment. Did you get a bumper crop this year form your Garden? 

We have been working hard all Summer long, so we are off for a break now, The Camellia will be closed during the first 2 weeks of September.  

New stencils just came in, so we will be offering NEW Stencil classes this Fall.

Fall wraps and Purses on Sale at The Camellia! Hello September!

Hello September!  A return to cooler nights, and less humidity is welcome after the heat of this Summer. 

Days are getting shorter, some of us are returning to school and work, and yes, you may be are freaking over your general state of I-am-so-not-prepared-for-Fall! You are not alone! Here are some quick ideas to help you with your Fall decor, take a close look at the windowboxes below ( photo taken on Julie's recent Quebec trip). Homeowner has added silk flower stems and burlap wrap, and the flowers blend seamlessly with the green vines. Faux flowers are perfect for those of us with little time to spare, they welcome you when you come Home, but require no care. Here at The Camellia, we have many seasonal bushes and Flower stems for you to decorate with.

  

Some days we are about to head out the door, with our hair uncombed ( gasp...!) and worse yet, some unbecoming old clothes that should have gone onto that giveaway pile . An easy fix is to wrap yourself in a colourful Fall throw, like the one below, and finish your outfit with a matching red purse ( now no-one will notice your uncombed hair). Our Fall wraps and purses are on SALE at 30%off!  

Most of our custom Florals and Wreaths  are 30-40% off. Hydrangea dried wreaths are all on sale, and we have 1 magnolia leaf Wreath left. We are about to order New Cottage Paint, if you have any special requests, do let us know by Wed. August 29th. 

 

All that Summer heat and rain has given us a bumper crop of veggies and herbs. Time to pick your herbs, bundle your bunches into clumps, and hang to dry. Once leaves are really, really dry, you can grind them in a spice grinder, and have them on hand for seasoning dishes all Winter long.  You can also do this with Peppermint leaves, for Winter teas. 

OPEN: every day except Monday and Tuesday. 

 Open Wed. Thurs. Friday, Saturday & Sunday. 

Wed. 11-5, Thurs. 12-5p. Fri. and Sat. 11-5p. Sunday 12-5p. Last day we are open is Thursday, August 30th.

Fabulous Fall florals from The Camellia, Thunder Bay, Ontario.

A beautiful Floral Design can add so much life and texture to your Room...it can add glamour and colour to an otherwise bland room. Where do you get beautiful, realistic looking Faux florals? Have you looked in several big box stores and have not seen any flowers you would like? You pick up the stems, and bits and pieces fall off? No one wants to purchase something that will fall apart that easily. You can call us here at The Camellia, and we can custom make Flowers that will complement your room. 

If Florals are too well, Flowery, for your taste, then an arrangement of faux succulents and branches may just work for you. 

Wreaths can be rustic like this one, and  can be made to fit your door, or can also work in an entrance way beside your door. 

Pods dyed a rich burgundy add a dramatic touch to your Fall decor, and are so easy to re-purpose once Fall is over. A favourite of ours are dried pomegranates, see a partial one on the right. 

Faux succulents and #Airplant Wreath. This is a good choice if you don't want to change your decor seasonally, and store anything. 

We have many Harvest colours in #CottagePaint, perfect for making up Fall signs, and mason jars. Bring in your containers and have a custom Floral made for your Home. Visit us at The Camellia, at 30/32 Hacquoil Rd. Slate River, Ontario. Open Wed. Thurs. Fri. Sat. Sunday.
