Porch Living at The Camellia

When you live in Northern Ontario, your Spring/Summer months are precious. So when it rains and rains, and lots of bugs are around, you can't help but get a little miffed, to say the least. Today It's SUNNY and we are going to attempt to finish planting our Gardens. Look how lovely these acrylic drops look in a planter, we have them for sale in the shop.

The French Lilacs and Iris are in full bloom, and the smell wafting through an open window is just lovely. Flowers and their smells just uplift one's soul. Mason jar is painted with Veruca Cottage Paint. Cottage Paint goes right over glass, and metal, as well as wood. 

Our Porch at the shop is getting a make-over, with a soap testing station, for Napa Valley soap, Beekman 1802, and Rocky Mountain Soap.

A moose and birch Twig wreath made up for an order. 

Practice boards from our Beginners' Cottage Paint class. Our July schedule ( July 10, & July 22nd. for CP classes)  is up on the website...phone to register for paint classes. http://www.thecamellia.com/classes-at-the-camelia.html

 Friends taking a Cottage Paint class together ... they were going to use their boards in the Garden with old doorknobs and implements.

Stocking Stuffers at The Camellia, Thunder Bay, Ontario

Christmas is fast approaching and we have all kinds of Stocking Stuffers at The Camellia, No-Crack Hand cream is great for guys and gals that work their fingers to the bone. It can be kept in the car, and in the biting cold. $5.99 and up.

Every year I vow to have a clean house... what can I say about this? We did buy a fresh tree, it's gracing the garage at the moment. We have to do the move things around shuffle so that the Tree can fit in the Living room. Plus the snow and the wind created a mountain outside on the deck, so shovel, shovel....If you have to clean, Farmhouse Lemon Verbena products make it all better ( leave it in plain view on the counter so that any germaphobe visiting Family members will see it). 

Lavender Soap from Matanzas Creek Organic farm .....oh so good. You can tell the gift receiver  this is why you raced off to St. Helena, California. For the express purpose of getting their Gift. Nothing to do with the -30 degree temperatures here. 

Heat guard neckties are good for those who are heading off to tropic climes, those suffering from hot flashes, and those undergoing chemo. 

Rocky Mountain Foot butter .. great for those who have dry heels in the Winter, grab a pumice stone also.

Napa Valley Soap - $9.95 , and at the Camellia, we also carry it in liquid soap.  Made from grapeseed oil and wine, pair up with a bottle of wine for the perfect Indulge Gift.
