Mother's Day 2012, Camellia's, Thunder Bay

Mother's Day is coming up ..it's this Sunday, May 13th. 2012.

When I say "Mother" what images and thoughts are popping up in your mind? Here's a photo of my lovely Mum...

How has your Mum influenced who you are today? What sort of things did your Mum teach you? 

Make sure to leave a comment on this post, and if you're in the Thunder Bay area, you will be entered in  the draw for a Memories photo frame.

What are you doing for Mum on Sunday?  If your mum  lives in Thunder Bay, but you don't, you can call us at 1-807-475-3551 or toll-free within Canada to order a Gift to be delivered to her. 

A vase of Fresh Flowers is always a nice Gift. 

Your mummy probably loves to Garden, so send her a locally grown collection of potted plants,  which she can enjoy all Summer long. We have Geraniums, Kangaroo Paw, and Spanish Lavender, to name a few.

There are wonderful Spa baskets to pamper her... with useful things such as  Hot Flash mist.. and Foot Butters for keeping her heels soft....

We have so much instore at Camellia's  - Purses, pashminas, and locally made jewellery

Nature's Decorating Gifts , the Camellia, Thunder Bay, On

One good thing about the colder weather - you can curl up by the Fireplace! Pull out all your Christmas magazines, and start thinking about decorating for the upcoming Holidays! Wouldn't it be nice to be organized and have most of it done ahead of time?

Time to think about Gift Giving - this is a nice personal Teapot - at a price of (are you ready for this?) $13.95.

Burlap is so in this season --make a big bow, then add streamers of waterproof Flora satin in the middle. This ribbon is amazing - we sell it at Camellia's - it will float in a pond and hold its shape ( and it's cheap!)

Fill your summer planters with Winter greens - here we used balsam, 2 types of pine, and later added magnolia leaves. The smell will rejuvenate you. Notice that most of the items you need to decorate with can be easily found in Nature. Just look around you and start gathering before the snow flies.

We're busy getting our Christmas products and Holiday Goods set up for CHRISTMAS GATHERINGS 2011. Starts November 11th ...grab a friend and head out to get inspired for the coming Holiday season!

Pottery Fair, June 2012, Thunder Bay, On

This post is for those of you who missed the Pottery Fair, which was on this past Saturday, in Thunder Bay, On.

Beautiful pieces made at The Underground Gym. A few of these vases came home with me, I love the hand made quality and the colours of the glazes.

These pieces would certainly make a nice Wedding present for a lucky couple.

A rich, chocolate brown - a perfect addition to a new Kitchen , especially when teamed up with a new chocolate brown sink.

Blue and cream - this popular colour combination always reminds me of the Lake, ocean and/or Beachside Cottages.

I've always wanted a butter Keeper - you can leave your butter out of the fridge so you can spread it easily.

Who doesn't come home tired, and throws off their jewellery and tosses it in random places? This handy piece is for you!

Unique Birdhouses...in various colours and sizes. Wouldn't they make a great Gift for the Birdwatcher on your list? We have some clients who do their Christmas shopping year round, that way , they stay calm and collected when the Christmas season rolls around.

These are my favourite - very Provencal -looking pieces, made by Brad, of Moss Cottage. Love the cream glaze and the antique look.
