September 2019 Classes, and Fall Harvest show at The Camellia, Thunder Bay

Fall brings rich, warm colours and warm apple pie, and best of all, our FALL SHOW here at The Camellia starts today,  Wednesday and runs until this Sunday, Sept. 15, 2019.

Our Happy Fall signs, a new Fall wreath, a cozy blanket and some new Bedding, these are simple pleasures that help ease us into Fall.  CLASSES     https://www.thecamellia.com/classes-at-the-camelia.html This past Winter was the coldest ever with lots of snow, so we will try to hold as many Classes as we can before the snow flies.

Happy Fall!

It's officially the first day of Fall today! Remembering our Mr. Benji, always by my side when I am tromping through the yard picking ferns, berries and branches to create Fall wreaths. And sniffing outside the vegetable garden for any forgotten tomatoes, he loved his tomatoes. Well, here in Slate River Valley , we have been blessed with an abundant Harvest and warm weather this Fall. How about you, what's the weather like where you live? 

Something we don't see in the Caribbean  is this colourful changing of leaves. It truly is spectacular. 

A great time to get out and go for a Fall hike. 

You can collect fall foilage to make a Wreath or you attend out Wreath making Workshop. Create a 

Harvest Wreath at The Camellia with dried and preserved foilage - oak leaves, bamboo leaves, wheat and pods, tied with burlap ribbon. In this class, you will learn basic techniques of binding, wiring and bow making. All supplies included in class fee of $95.00 +hst. Class takes place Sept. 30th. 2015 from 6.30 - 8.30p. 

  Come out to our Fall Open house which starts this Saturday , September 26th. at 30, Hacquoil Rd.

Open Wed. 11-5, Thurs. 12-5, Fri. 11-5, Sat.11-5. Sun. 12-5.

Falling into Fall, reluctantly

 It's September already...and some of us want to hang onto that last little bit of heat, we don't want our plants to freeze, and we have no desire to dig out coats, boots, and even socks. As for the S  - word, please, let's not go there. Time to think about transitional floral arrangements - these ease into the different seasons without any effort or extra fanfare. Like this stunning Magnolia arrangement above. The leaves look nice long after they have dried up.

 Look at the colours of these pomegranates, great to add to a wooden bowl as a quick centrepiece.

 Time to cut those hyrangea blooms, to make up wreaths .

 Continue to appreciate each and every sunny day with blue skies.

 It's easier to sleep now that the nights are a bit cooler.

 Think about taking a Fall course at The Camellia.

Sit by Lake Superior and enjoy the running water .

We will reopen at The Camellia on Sept. 19th. In the meantime, if you need anythuing, leave a message at 807-472-8193. or 807-475-3551
