Thunder Bay Flower & Gift shop

  

Hello! We are inviting you to attend a brand new Event!

SPARKS & FIRE Show and Sale.

 This is a curated Show of established and emerging Artisans. This event is happening Saturday, June 11th.2022 from 11-4pm, at 712 MacDonell St. There will be the Hot Paddle Pizza food truck on-site, and music from CILU Radio 102.7 FM. There will be various Artisans, Potters and emerging Artists, do stop by and visit!

Yes, the Dried Palm branch obsession is on!! These are so in style at the moment for Wedding ceremony archways. They are sold out everywhere, but we have a bit in stock at our store, The Camellia. 

It's garden time ... that magical moment when the weather is warm enough to plant veggies and Flowers. But wait, we had a really wet Spring, so the Blackflies, Mosquitoes and ticks are next level. They rival the biting kabaura flies, found in the Rupununi, during rainy season in Guyana. See photo below of the Rupununi area, in Guyana. 

 

During the rainy season, one does not venture into the jungle, unless every square inch of skin is covered in full safari gear. Given that the temperature is 95 degrees, plus the humidity is the same, it is a sticky adventure, so be prepared. 

We have Travel Mosquito nets and no-see-um Nets for sale, in our store. 

It's June and the beauty of a Northern Ontario summer is all around us! 

Have a great weekend, and come out and see us at 'Sparks and Fire.'

Thunder Bay Flower & Gift shop

Happy Mother's Day to all Moms! If you need some ideas for a Gift for your Mom, read on. This is our Joanna Gaines Gift package, with her first Cookbook and our black ash Charcuterie board with live edge. There is also a small tin of Culinary Lavender buds, for making Lavender lemonade, or Lavender cupcakes.  

For your Mom who loves Camping, but hates all the bugs we have here in Northern Ontario. A pair of handmade Flannel pillowcases, a No-see-um Mosquito net, camo leggings with Bug spray, and a stencilled Lake sign. Phone to order at 807-475-3551. 

What are No-see-ums? They are pesky things that are tiny, they come out in the evening, their bites sting and are very itchy. This netting is very fine, 210 threads per square inch. Price is $49.95 +hst.

 A  Gift of Dried Roses will last for a long time, and as long as you place then in a spot that's away from light, there is no upkeep!

For all you Plant-Mommas out there, this Coconut Plant holder is a unique Gift, and will hold 2 Air plants. Buy online at https://iwindowshop.ca/collections/handmade-vintage/products/coconut-husk-birdhouse-air-plant-hanger?variant=39833827442840

Being a Mom is hard. Sometimes a shower is the only place to sneak a break from taking care of others. Here at the Camellia, we have a fine selection of hand-made Goat Milk soaps, like this Fish themed soap. 

Moms need all the sleep they can get ( their job is a tough one!), so why not treat  her to our Sleep well package? it has a Clara Clark cooling pillow, a set of very, very soft microfibre sheets, and a Lavender sleep spray from Neob Lavender farm in Niagara-on-the-lake. 

Lavender helps with anxiety, and as children get older, Moms will be fighting anxiety. We have Lavender bunches grown in France ( these really smell wonderful1), Lavender soap from Napa soap company in St. Helena, with Pillow spray and Muscle aches reliever roll-on from Neob Lavender.

September at the Camellia, Slate River Valley, Ontario.

As always, September seems to come along way too early. Sunflowers are in full bloom, and even though the days are still warm,  the nights are on the chilly side. Of course, after the hot summer we have had, everything feels cold in comparison.

What was your Summer like, weather-wise? 

As summer draws to a close, some of us are a bit panicked about all the painting projects we meant to get finished, but somehow, well...it was summer and Fishing and Camp and Life happened. Is it too late to paint? No, especially with the warm temperatures we have been enjoying lately. Just get started on your painting projects, and you'll be surprised at how quickly they will get done. Need Cottage Paint? Stop in at our store at 30, Hacquoil Rd. We have Paints, brushes, sample colours and more. 

Here is a tin muffin pan, painted with Cottage Paint, lightly distressed, and voila! 

A catchall for keys or jewellery, or those random bits and pieces that seem to accumulate on counters.

Here is a Laundry Room cupboard makeover, with Cottage Paint and some stencilling. Do remember to use our cleaner before painting! ( see photo below). Paint will not adhere to a surface that may be contaminated with grease, dirt, and/or Furniture polish. 

It was a great Summer for growing Flowers, and we have been busy harvesting, drying, and making up Dried Flower bouquets, like this one with ferns, grasses, oregano and peonies. These are for sale in our store, the Camellia, at 30, Hacquoil Rd. 

All around us, Fall is in the air, ferns and grasses make a spectacular show of colours and textures. Here at The Camellia, we draw inspiration from Nature, and a lot of foilage from our fields finds its way into our dried bouquets. 

Today, these hanging Eucalyptus sprays were made up for use in an At-Home-Spa area, or in a bathroom. Eucalyptus will smell wonderful once the bathroom steams up, and this helps clear sinus congestion. In this swag, we used field ferns, seeded eucalyptus, baby eucalyptus, and limonium. We will have a number of these for sale in the upcoming virtual Craft Revival Christmas edition 2020. 

It's a beautiful weekend for a Drive in the Country, the Fall colours are spectacular. Stop in and visit, we are Open Wed. through Sunday. Shop online at our
