Happy April 1st.!

Happy April 1st.. and the joke is on us in Thunder Bay, we are in the midst of a lovely ( not!) Springinter storm of snow, freezing rain and ice. Not to worry, Caribbean people living in Thunder Bay will not be bothered by this nonsense. We are packing like crazy, getting ready for the Spring Home & Garden show starting this Friday at the C.L.E grounds and the Sportsdome. We are inspired by Flowers... bright colours....nests...green moss...and Bunnies.

 Fresh Flowers always make you feel better. Go treat yourself to some today.

 In the Spring , there are all kinds of Birds nests to be found in the branches, collect them and display under a glass cloche. We will have some cloches for sale at the Garden show.

 Willow branches seem to signify Spring - none here yet.

 I don't know about you, but here at The Camellia we are craving Green  .... and waiting to see open, running water in all the ditches and local streams. The sound of a babbling brook is so nice.

 The oh-so-cute Easter fuzzie-wuzzies. We will have these at our booth.

Hand-made stainless steel Flowers, deer proof. Get lots of Ideas and products for your Home & Garden at the Spring Home & Garden show, see The Camellia in the Coliseum building, Booths #2 and 3. We will be busy setting up for the Garden show so we will be closed here at The Camellia on Wed. Thurs. and Friday.

Spring forward, Tuliptime and The Camellia

 It's March ...and for most of us, the only thing that gets us through to Spring is thinking Spring, and looking at TULIPS!! Of course, Holland is the Tulip capital of the world. 

 We are all craving  green, I can almost smell the odour of a freshly cut lawn......sigh. 

Now is the time to banish Winter, and add Spring to your decor. A vase of curly Willow, with colourful easter eggs makes a great display. The willow will root right in your vase. 

Hyacinths and Muscari blooms. 

Treat yourself to White Lilac shea butter Hand lotion...new stock just arrived at our store , the Camellia.

Mr. Benji is awaiting the arrival of Spring ---  and garden tomatoes. 

And the rest of us are awaiting the start of Garden season.....Pansies from Paulusma's Greenhouses, Thunder Bay. And from De Bruins Greenhouses, Highway 61, Thunder bay. 

I'm sure you are looking forward to sitting outside...warm sunshine, birdies tweeting..

Thinking Spring in the midst of Snow.

Here at The Camellia, we are trying to think     S P R I N G !!

It is somewhat difficult to think Spring, with snowfall after snowfall, with blowing winds and minus thirty -something temperatures. 

So we can dream on and think about munching on yummy Lavender Cupcakes, and sipping Lavender Lemonade. 

And of Peony Garden blooms, as big as the palm of your hand. Ruffles of Pink and Ivory. 

Washing with our Hand-made Lavender Soap, made in Canada. Lavender is sure to calm and de-stress you. 

Bright Summer Purses at the Camellia - come visit our store to see similar beauties! 

New Spring colours of Cottage Paint have arrived. Customers are taking advantage of the long and cold Winter to paint their old pieces of furniture. Of course they can do this indoors as Cottage Paint has low voc's.

Flowering dogwood in Vancouver. 

Poppy bloom. 

Out metal Butterfly, made by Elaina, metal artist.

Well, enough dreaming of Spring, it is back to Winter for a while yet. Stay warm, and phone for our current hours. The Camellia, 30 Hacquoil Rd. Thunder Bay, Slate River, Oliver Paipoonge, On.

Happy Friday! The Camellia, Thunder Bay, On

Happy Friday everyone! Do you have those days where you wish you were somewhere else? Like here looking at the tulips in Lisse, Holland, at Keukenhof Gardens... Of course, the -25 temps. here in Thunder Bay  have something to do with this...

 Wish I was here .... enjoying the bouganvillea blossoms at Gran Bahai Principe in Mexico...

Wishing that the birdies would return... I know they are here, but the yellow finches  turn kind of grey in the Winter, and it's so cold , they are hiding today. They love thistle seed so I should refill their feeders..

We have Willow Wreaths for sale in the Shop...these go quickly, so just saying..if you want one.. call and order or put 1 on hold. 

 You can enjoy the Garden all year round with this wreath ...made with Peonies and lemon leaves from our very own Gardens!  

 

 I have to remind myself that LIFE IS GOOD! This pillow is in stock at the shop, a great addition to your decor, and also a nice pillow for a Gift for someone special!

However, at this moment I am supposed to be working on Purse Bouquets for a Wedding..so adios! 

Have a great Friday!
