Artisans Northwest 2020 is virtual this year!

We know many of you have visited us at the Artisans Northwest Show which was held in the past at The Valhalla Inn. This year, due to the pandemic, Artisans Northwest will be a virtual show, in an online format. 

Here at The Camellia, we will be one of the participants in this virtual show.

Staying positive in the face of a Second wave , The Camellia, Thunder Bay, Ontario

Some days it is difficult to be positive, and you may think that this pandemic will not be over, ever.  You are out running errands, and you get out of your vehicle, and are walking towards the store, and then, oh shoot, I forgot my mask!, and you return to your car to get your mask on. Cases are on the rise everywhere, and the thought of a second lockdown looms. What can you do? 

You can get ready for Christmas, which will be here before you know it. It's time to pull out all your winter decor, and start decorating. We have had warmer than normal temperatures lately, it has felt like Fall, or summer. How has the weather been where you live?  This tree was photographed at Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. 

Christmas brings along the Gifting dilemmas - what to buy for those on your Christmas list. One of our favourites is Silly Goats moisturizing lotion, in Peppermint Eucalyptus. I find the lotion has a nice pepperminty fragrance with the undertones of menthol from the eucalyptus. Silly Goat milk lotions include sweet almond oil, avocado oil, shea butter and goat milk. 

Now is the time to order your fresh evergreen Wreaths, we are busy picking greens, and gathering grapevines and twigs. Wreaths made with local greens last a lot longer than wreaths bought from grocery stores. They also make great Christmas Gifts, you can call us and order Wreaths to send for Gifts, p. 807-475-3551. Gifts are online at https://iwindowshop.ca/, and at https://www.thecamellia.com/

Warm scarves, and cozy hats also make great gifts. You can find these for sale at our store at 30, Hacquoil Rd. 

We all know how important hand washing is, hand made soaps are a practical Gift. 

We are excited to be part of The Craft Revival , Virtual 2020, which will be online only. Follow us on Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/camelliafromnaturetohome/
