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!

Be You, Be Loved, Valentine's Day 2011

Communication is the key in any relationship. How will you let your loved ones know that you care about them on Valentine's Day? Roses..Gerbera daisies...tulips .... carnations....

Women are always waiting for the guys to know exactly what they want on Valentine's Day, and unfortunately, most guys don't have a clue, so help them God. Women want to have the perfect date, the perfect plan, the perfect dinner.... This puts a lot of pressure on guys to plan the perfect Valentine. Of course, if you are not a mind-reader, and you guess the wrong thing, and if this happens on VALENTINE'S DAY, you are in the proverbial Doghouse, so to speak. So how about some direct communication ; no more mind reading. this is what I want... as women we don't ask for what we want... we expect them to magically know.... and invariably we are disappointed. Plan this Valentine's day TOGETHER, and see where that leads....

You can't go wrong with Flowers and Chocolates. Everyone loves to get these. At The Camellia, we deliver in Thunder Bay. Delivery charges start at $7.00. Call us early for the best selection and service.

A Lavender Spa basket is a welcome treat in the middle of Winter.
Great for quenching dried-out winter skin.

If you are working out-of-town and you can't be with your honey-bunny, how about sending a fluffy Teddy bear for them to cuddle..?
Teddy has the word LOVE embroidered on his paw....

Call Camille at (807)475-3551 to order, or toll-free within Canada at 1-877-523-7444.

Don't forget Valentine's Day is Monday Feb. 14th.
