Question: are you ready for Christmas? Answer: NO View this email in your browser

We all have great intentions of getting it ALL Done... But Life gets in the way, so you might be like me, running around trying to find a tree, mailing presents that will get there too late, and cards that have yet to be sent overseas. (Thank goodness for the e-card sites like Jacquie Lawson). SO DO WHAT YOU CAN GET DONE AND LEAVE THE REST. As for presents, well, let's not get started. FLOWERS & WREATHS make the perfect Gift ....Call today to order, we have a few left - small cedar wreaths, large Magnolia, evergreen and birch wreaths, and a vase of cut flowers with evergreens is a great choice. Call us at 475-3551  to order for delivery, or you can order & pick -up at our store. Out-of-towners can use our toll-free, 1-877-523-7444. I often wish I had time to sit and light a candle. Come into out store for Canadian Soy candles.  Earlier this Spring, I visited the Yankee Candle store in Williamsburg, VA.  Candles make your decor sparkle, but do not leave unattended. It is very important to trim your wicks, so here is some how-tos from Yankee Candle. Keep wick trimmed to 1/8 inch at all times. The wick should be trimmed every 4 hours of burn time. Simply extinguish the flame, let the candle come to room temperature, and trim the wick to 1/8 of inch before relighting. Our Wick Trimmers make this task easy and creates a nice clean cut that properly maintains the wick. Place the bottom of the trimmer flush with the surface of the candle. Rock the trimmer back so that the “elbow” now rests on the surface of the candle. Ensure that your trimmer is at a 45-degree angle to ensure the proper wick length. This will prevent the wick from being cut too short or causing the candle to burn improperly. Bring the two handles together to trim the wick. Discard the remnant wick before lighting. To keep wick at 1/8” at all times, it is suggested to trim the wick every four hours of burn time. Keeping the wick trimmed to 1/8 of an inch at all times helps control the amount of “fuel” or wax that is present. By keeping the amount of fuel limited, the flame will create ideal complete combustion where carbon particles are absorbed by the flame. This means less soot is formed while the candle is burning. The formation of soot has nothing to do with the type of wax (soy, paraffin, vegetable, or other) as all burning items create soot as a product of incomplete combustion. It all has to do with the quality of the wick and the proper care of the candle! Candles should not be burned for more than four hours at a time. It is recommended that they burned for four hours, then extinguished and let cool for two hours before relighting. So, let's talk about Christmas dinner. Are you having the whole gang over, and wondering what to use for a tablecloth? Please do not tell me you are using a plastic tablecloth....we have great water-repellent, stain resistant cloths that look fabulous and are easy to take care of. They are a great price , starting at $25.00 to 28.00. Take a quick measure of your table, snap a photo of your table with your phone, and come visit The Camellia.

The best time to decorate for the Holidays is now. You are warmly Invited to our Christmas Open house at The Camellia .

Above is our signature Magnolia Wreath with Birch twigs...beautiful for any season.

This is out most luxuriant Evergreen with Magnolia wreath..a  dramatic entranceway piece.

      The matching door swag for the wreath in the previous photo.

We are all familiar with the TV ads showing a beautifully decorated Home with a family sitting around a festive table, enjoying a fabulous home-cooked meal. Reality is sometimes far removed from this picture,
"What's that ###%% thing on the door, I can't even close the door properly?!"
"OMG...that wreath is shedding on the carpet....."
"Why can't you have a fake tree like everyone else , that way we can shove it in the closet,  ornaments and all.."
"Do we have to put up a tree..let's just go to Barbados.."
"Just throw the thing in a Gift bag, you don't expect me to wrap the thing up...?"

If you love a beautifully decorated Home, then start now. Come out to our Christmas Open house at The Camellia. See the Handmade, Vintage, the new Greys with Frosty Whites. Bring your photos in on your phone, or email them to us, we can help you with what to put where. Our Christmas Open House is on this Sat. Nov. 22, & Sun. Nov. 23rd. and continues all next week and next weekend, Nov. 29, and 30. If you are going on the Christmas House Tour, we will be Open early on Sunday, Nov. 23 and will close late.
Sat. 11-5
Sun. 10-6.

In and out of the ditches cutting red osier dogwood branches,

..to make giant cedar and twig wreaths.

Have box, will travel. A wreath makes a perfect Gift for someone who used to live here, and now lives out in some other part of Canada. Simply place wreath in box, and mail or send by bus.

Since it's all evergreens, it doesn't matter if it freezes. Imagine the delight and the aroma of fresh greens, you can't bottle that. Try to get your orders in early, especially if it has to be shipped. A round of Gouda cheese from Thunder Oak Cheese Farm would fit nicely in the middle.

We have some large statement wreaths, and garlands at crazy reduced prices, and lots of ornaments on 40 to 50%off. Picks, pointsettia bushes, huge decorated garlands, large wreaths, ornaments, and lots more!

If you are going Black Friday shopping in Duluth, you can stop in here first, shop, and leave your purchases here for pick-up or delivery later in the week.
