Hello!  Welcome to a colourful evolution .... 
welcome to the NEW Cottage paint!
Cottage Paint is more than just a Furniture Paint, it is a source of Inspiration for every creative soul, and offers a moment of unwinding and relaxation. This total rebranding brings with it changes....e.g. the names of the colours have changed.  Here at The Camellia, we are here to help you through this change. 

Introducing 4 NEW Cottage Paint colours....! Inspired by the colours and textures of the great Canadian outdoors. 

Blue Heron.

Creekside. 

Monarch. 

Warm Glow

Summer is such a great Season!  The colour palette of Cottage Paint is inspired by time spent at a tranquil Summer Cottage. We are happy to Welcome you back to our store. As so many of you have told us, it is difficult to choose paint colours on a computer screen. 

July is the perfect month to get all those 'someday' Paint projects done. Stop by and see us instore, and get a sample of the new Cottage Paint colours. If you need advice on your Paint projects, take some photos to show us when you come into our store, the Camellia. 

Summer is the best time ever! Imagine stepping out of the shower  ( having washed with a  creamy bar of our Napa Soap), drying off with a  big fluffy towel, changing into cute PJ's, and snuggling under fresh  Clara Clark Bedsheets in a crispy air-conditioned room.  It doesn't get much better!

We just received new Clara Clark sheets ( Lavender,  Eggplant, and Pink in stock now, along with other colours) in 1800 TC queen size. Lime is now available in Queen size ( before it was only available in Twin size), we order once a month, next order deadline is  July 24th. Phone us at 807-475-3551.

Flowering Spring shrubs, The Camellia, Thunder Bay, On

Spring is such a wonderful time of the Year! A lot of shrubs only flower in the Spring, and what a show it is. This post is for those of you who may be longing for blooms and warm temperatures, and you may be feeling sort of, well, is it ever going to get really nice?

Hydrangea blooms seen outside Beringer Winery in Napa Valley, California.

And everywhere you go in Mountain View, California, there's an abundance of jasmine vines, their perfume is magnificent. Flowering shrubs and vines add so much beauty to our world.

Roses are everywhere! A profusion of colour and masses of blooms, in bush and topiary forms.



Sniff..... ! Nothing smells as sweet as a Rose.

Come visit us at the Camellia! We are at 30, Hacquoil Rd. Open reduced hours on Wed. 1-3, Fri. 1-3. Sat. 1-4.

Normal hours resume on June 5th, 2013.

Christmas Gifting, The Camellia, Thunder Bay

How's your Christmas Gifting coming along? Almost there, or just starting?  At The Camellia, we are here to help. No jammed parking lot, peace & serenity, and help all the way!! Above is our set of 3 real Birch log candles.

We have lovely fresh Floral designs, ask for the JOY design in a silver square dish. We deliver in the Thunder Bay area (delivery charges apply).

Our Pink Delight in a glass dish, which can be reused as a candleholder.

 Or simply order a Vase of fresh Flowers, this one features white Casablanca lilies, pink gerbera daisies, and white button mums. 

 Or you can order a faux centerpiece, this one is perfect for a condo-dweller as it can be used after Christmas, simply by removing the reindeer and changing the ribbon. $95.00-$125.00

 Need bows and ribbon? We have a wide variety of ribbons,  and bows can be made up while you wait. This container is large , so a large Burlap bow adds bulk to the green ribbon, which is water -resistant.

 Voila!! After much cleaning, I can finally see the surface of the Dining table. I knew it was there somewhere...how are you coping with cleaning up the everyday mess..? It's like that saying..." My kitchen would stay clean if only people would stop eating in it!"

And the Baking....have you started yours yet?

Getting off the Wheel to catch one's Breath.

Once, I was visiting my sister,and her roommate had a hamster, the dratted thing would arise at 5 am and proceed to run on his wheel, never stopping, around and around he ran. I am feeling like that hamster, running around in circles and getting nowhere, fast. So we'll be taking a break to catch our breath, and will reopen here at Camellia's on October 11th. 2012. 

Enjoy the fabulous colours of Fall, and take a deep breath ! Go for a long walk.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Some like it HOT, but some like it cool..The Camellia, Thunder Bay

Some like it HOT, but some, like my Golden above, like it cool. How about you? Do you view the approaching Fall with dread, or are you a bit fed-up with the heat and high humidity?

 Plants are still blooming away ... here are Heavenly Blue Morning Glories.  It's been such a hot, tropic-like Summer, and the plants have been loving it. As long as you can keep up with the watering....

And today, even though it's maybe 100 degrees out, we're thinking Fall, and busy changing displays and adding our new Fall product to the store.

With all the flowers still blooming in the Garden, Bouquets can be quickly thrown together. I like to use branches laden with apples, and Grapevine branches , heavy with grape clusters.

 Time to start thinking about decorating for Fall - here are simple fern bundles from the Farm

 At Camellia's, we have fabulous new Purses, and lots of evening bags with bling.

One of my favourite activities in the Fall - going for a walk or a Hike. 

Have a fun long weekend, and be sure to stop in at Camellia's! Open Wed. through Sunday. 

Sat. 11-5, Sun. Noon-5p.

30 Hacquoil Rd. ( No, this is not in the boonies or out in the back of nowhere..!)

It's a simple 10 minutes from the Thunder Bay Airport, heading south along Hwy. 61 .

We'd love to see you!

Keeping Camps & RV's smelling Fresh & clean

Ahhh....Summer!!! I'm anticipating the long weekend... hot temperatures, walks by Lake Superior, Gardening, Fishing, RV'ing.......
Then, Reality intrudes. Sometimes I wish my army of Staff would appear...gardeners, groundskeepers, cleaners, and so on. So far, I have one Staff member - a beaver showed up for Work one day at our Pond, he is busy digging, and piling up mud and sticks along the edges of the pond.






Are you opening up Camp soon? Come visit Camellia's and get a package of Ever Bamboo Room deodorizer, which absorbs moisture and odors. Use in bathroom, bedroom, laundry room, pet area, closets, RVs and Camps. $14.50 for a 200g. package.

Good for putting in your shoes to absorb moisture and smells.

Who has issues with the smell of Hockey equipment? After airing everything out in the fresh air, place the Everbamboo deodorizers in the Hockey bag before putting into storage.
