The softest sheets to sleep on, Clara Clark in Thunder Bay at The Camellia.

When you sell sheets and Bedding, you hear all KINDS of things from people, things you make you squirm. Some things like:
- My partner sleeps in the nude. There's something in his body that stains the sheets yellow.
- You mean washing the sheets once every 3 months is no good?
- How do you remove the night dribble from dark coloured sheets?
- My mattress is 30 " thick, do you have a sheet for that?
- These sheets say wrinkle - free. I washed them and they have wrinkles!!
- What do you mean, I HAVE to wash my sheets separate from my towels? omg!

From a Design viewpoint, the Bedroom is the last place that people invest in because, well, no-one sees it, it's hidden and  they can just close the door. There, no need to look at that ugly room! 

You are the person that uses your Bedroom, and what could be more important than getting a good 7 hours of sleep? 

We'll go into how to pick a great mattress in another post, but today we want to let you know about  our Clara Clark Sheets, they are ever so soft, 1800 thread count, and come in 23 colours. They wash well and wear well. My first set is going into its 8th.year. It feels good at the end of the day to lay on some really soft sheets. They are made of microfibre which repels bedbugs. Did you know that Bedbugs can live in cotton sheets? You can stay in a really nice, new Hotel and be bitten by (this one was dog friendly) either fleas or bedbugs. Yet people sleeping in the other bed in the same room had no bites. 

At the Camellia in Thunder Bay, we stock Queen Clara Clark sheet sets. They are available in Double, Twin and King. 

You must pre-order these by certain dates- Sept. 15, 2019, Oct. 15, 2019, & Nov. 12th. 2019. 

You can come into our store to look at colours, and there is nothing better than being able to touch and feel sheets before you purchase. 

Many years ago, sheets were very practical, probably made from Flax which was spun into Linen. 

We have had a great Summer in Thunder Bay, and while our temperatures have cooled off lately, Fall is just around the corner. We are not ready for Fall. Not just yet. 

Take a short drive into Slate River Valley to The Camellia, at 30/32 Hacquoil Rd. Thunder Bay. 

Open Wed. 11-5, Thurs. 12-5, Fri. and Sat. 11-5, Sunday 12-5p.

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.
