My enthusiastic young shopper ...at The Camellia, Slate River, On

How often we forget the simple pleasures in life ...like jumping through a sprinkler on  a hot day ... yelling and squealing with excitement. I was visiting at someone's house, and watched a little girl next door running in and out of the sprinkler with her Mom. 

All day long you may have been daydreaming of being by Lake Superior, maybe longing to be near the Lake, and reality was that you were stuck at work with deadlines to meet. The good news is that in Thunder Bay you're never more than half an hour away from the Lake. How will you spend your time away from work today? 

So the other day we had a group of shoppers at our store, The Camellia, and a little girl was with them, she was maybe 5 or 6 years old. Her Aunt is looking around our store, and the little girl is kind of ,... well,... bored. They go upstairs, and I hear an excited..."Look at This Bed, I LOVE this Bed, and those Pillows...!!!" 

I get asked....." How much is it for the whole Bed? I want this WHOLE bed, all these pillows, I would be so comfortable on those, and the net, and the bed...and I WANT IT ALL!!" 

SO nice to hear such enthusiasm..!! How bored we get as adults. And she is right..this Bedding is our Brunelli line, it's 100% cotton, is super comfy, and washes like a dream. It comes in sizes from Twin to extra King. Come into our store to see the Brunelli catalogue, If patterns are in stock, you can receive your order in 10-12 business days. 

Our Mosquito nets are 40 feet wide on the bottom, and they work to keep the bugs away. We also have in stock at The Camellia, Noseeum nets, which are super fine ( 126 holes per square inch).  

Anyway, even when her Aunt had gone back down the stairs, the little girl could not stop talking about THE BED, so she ran back upstairs to take a photo ( with her pink I-Phone) so she could show her Dad. ( I am at this point feeling slightly archaic as I am one of those people with no smart phone). Her enthusiasm and excitement were contagious. 

Visit The Camellia, for luxurious, oh-so-soft Cotton Bedding, and Mosquito and Noseeum Nets.
