Camille's Gift picks, the Camellia, Thunder Bay, Ontario

Hello! It's December and it's time to think about Gift buying. If you're a DIY'er like myself, you may have had grand plans of painting some signs, like this one below, but well, it's December 11th. and it's probably not happening.  This sign is from Willow Springs Creative studio in Thunder Bay. 

But wait! If I get some rooms cleaned up, and the shopping done, and the Tree up, and ...and...then maybe, I can get this sign painted. that is, if no emergencies come up.....

Here are Camille's Top Gift picks.

A beautiful Hand made Northern-inspired Twig Wreath. In Northern Ontario we have long, cold winters, and this wreath can stay up all Winter. A wreath makes a lovely gift for the whole family.  $129.00+hst. and delivery charges. 

Fresh evergreen Wreaths bring the smell of Christmas to you...there's nothing quite like the smell of fresh pine and balsam. $65.00 to $95.00 . These are made from local evergreens, you can place an order by calling us at 807-475-3551. 

A Winter spa basket is a welcome gift for someone who suffers from Dry skin...Winter can be harsh on skin with a lack of humidity, and the constant cold which makes aches and pains flare up.

Happy Thanksgiving! We are Open at the Camellia, Thunder Bay, On

Our Canadian Thanksgiving seems to fall really early in October this year..it's Monday, October 8th. 2018. Time to break out the sweaters, and to decorate your Home for Fall. Using a giant faux sunflower swag like the one above ( which we designed for a client), adds instant autumn vibes to your entrance way. we love how it brings out all the colours in the brick. 

We have been closed for a while, and are now Open here at The Camellia. While we were away we visited several retail stores ( after all, window shopping is the most fun!). Isn't this painted piece a beauty?! You can change the look of any furniture you have with Cottage Paint, and here at the Camellia, we are your Thunder Bay Cottage Paint dealer.

We toured a tiny Home, and while it's cute, and very space efficient, it seems to be more suited to warmer parts of the globe, where your outdoor space can augment your indoor living space. Are you thinking about a tiny Home?

We had fun visiting with these LaMancha Goats of Silly Goats Soap Company. Due to our problems with very dry skin, we are obsessed with finding hand-made, artisanal skincare. Goat's Milk is excellent for replenishing oils, vitamins and minerals into dry skin. Did you know that Goat's milk has the same PH as human skin? Stop in at the Camellia to try a sample of  Silly Goats rich, hand lotions which we carry in an unscented version, as well as Oatmeal and Peppermint.

Lavender and Rosemary Bath bombs from Silly Goat. These are perfect in a hot bath, at the end of a long day!

If you are doing your Fall decorating, and you would like to transition into Christmas/Winter decor, consider using red in your colour scheme. Check out this stunning old dresser painted with a colour similar to Cottage Paint Crimson Red. You can purchase Cottage Paint here at The Camellia.

It's Harvest time, and nothing beats plucking ripe tomatoes from your own Garden! Slice them up on fresh-baked Bread...yumm!

Here is an old shelf being painted with Cottage Paint. Look around and see where you could use a splash of red in your Fall decor.

When is it going to be shorts and sandals weather in Thunder Bay? Searching for Summer...

Aaaah Summer! The very word conjures up visions of hot, sunny days, fanning oneself, drinking tall glasses of Lavender Lemonade, wearing shorts and sandals, and being outside in the Sunshine. Imagine sitting on a beautifully decorated Patio, with beachy Lanterns, outdoor rugs and comfy Patio Furniture. 

Reality in Thunder Bay has been Rain, cool temperatures, and more Rain. It's almost JULY...Canada Day long weekend is almost here, and yes, surprise, it's been raining all day!! It's enough to drive a Summer-loving person crazy! As for going Camping, well, it's not too much fun in the pouring rain, with blackflies bugging you. 

We tend to sometimes dwell on all the things that we want to do, and can't, because it's RAINING AGAIN!! One thing you can do is look around inside your Home or Garage or covered deck, and do one of those jobs that need doing, like this tiling job that's been in limbo for 2 years. Do you have jobs waiting around for the right time to do them....?

There is always the dreaded Closet clean-out. We might not want to tackle it, because we have clothes we are hanging onto ( in case we lose weight), or clothes we have never worn ( but spent a lot of money on), or a mountain of Summer clothes we can't wear because we have no Summer! Once we clean the closet out, (we hate to admit it),   we can find our clothes easier and the whole room seems to just feel better.  

Rainy days are great days to get to those pieces of Furniture that need painting. We have this antique Schoolhouse chair which would look so much better if it was painted with Cottage Paint. Maybe Cloudy Day like the bookcase...or maybe Sea Turtle or a combination of both? What have you got laying around unused in a corner, or in the basement, that you could revamp with #CottagePaint? 

Here is a bookcase that was bought secondhand from someone who was moving...it was a  woodgrain ( faux wood)  look before, and we painted it with Cottage Paint - colour Cloudy Day. What a difference! It now has a coastal feel to it. Can #cottagePaint go over mdf? Yes, it can, most of the time. It does not go over Thermofoil. 

What do you do on rainy days?

 For #Lake & #Coastal-inspired Decor, and #CottagePaint, visit The Camellia, 30, Hacquoil Rd. Slate River, On .

The Rhodos were in full bloom when we visited. Most of the bushes were loaded with blooms.

Climbing Clematis Vines. 

Of course, if we lived on the Island, I would definitely be at Art Knapp buying plants. 

White Dogwood trees are even growing in the wild.  

Do plan a Visit to The Camellia, we have no Rhodos, but our Flowering crabapple trees will soon be in bloom. We have Camp decor, Lake decor, Mosquito nets, No-see-um Nets, and much more!
