Autumn Fair 2012 at The Camellia, Thunder Bay, On



Autumn is here! You are invited to our Autumn Fair which starts today and runs until Sunday, September 30th. 2012. How do you feel about the change in weather? Are you sad to see Summer go, are you waving Good Bye to the flocks of geese as they fly overhead, noisily honking away?  Or are you a "Thank goodness it's cooling off "  type of person, can't wait to pull on your favourite sweater and boots?  
This Autumn, we have a lovely selection of goods at The Camellia, carefully chosen just for you. Look at the made-to-look-like vintage cushions above, aren't they just perfect for a European themed room. .




 

 Here's a peek at a custom order that we designed for a very special front door. Not your traditional Fall piece, but it does speak to you of Autumn, earthtones, and leaves swirling in the wind.




Here's one of our new Fall handbags, paired with one of Sarah's hand-made scarves.




 Look at this hot number, good for those parties that pop up around Christmas. it comes in lots of other colours - silver, purple, black, white, grey.




Epol bags are the bag for the sportsey person, or an upscale alternative to the Lunchpail. Lots of pockets and places to fit everything. Tough, can-take-all-you-dish-out bag.





We have had a fantastic growing season ( except for the chomping caterpillars) , and our Sunflowers are spectacular, the bees think so too! 



  The colours of the sun and ripening Olives are echoed in this tablecloth - water repellent and stain resistant. Most clients buy 1 of these, and come back for a couple more. Rave reviews on these. Try 1 today, many colors and patterns in stock at the store.






Let us custom-make a Floral design for your Home - lost of containers to choose from. 






  A peek at some of our in-store displays.




 Many new signs in - where to place them? Hallways, Living-rooms, entranceways, they will look good anywhere.






Gift selection - Set of 4 custom chicken placemats - with 2 chicken mugs, in a wire basket, $71.63. The mugs are a Warren Kimble design, from Sakura,Oneida. Call toll-free at 1 -877-523-7444 to order. You can also order fresh flowers of Fruit baskets for delivery in the Thunder Bay area.








Some of our grapes we grew --so sour, but we grow them for flower arrangements. Look at those colours though, you could theme an entire room around them .




 A faux-botanical bouquet, we've added greens in from our Garden, doesn't it look great?




 One of my aims this Fall is to sit and Light a candle.  These are special Soy candles, poured especially for you, by Canadian hands. Yummy smells! 




 Our goodies from the Cutting Garden.







Take a look around you and harvest what you can for Fall decorating. These are grapevine leaves, which we preserved with glycerin. You can buy glycerin in the drug store, combine 1 part glycerin to  3 parts hot water. Place stems into solution and leave for at least a week, sometimes 2. Your leaves will stay nice and soft but will turn brown.

Fall's here

At least technically it is although it still feels like the dog days of summer with temperature's in the 80's. While it'd be nice to pretend it's summer and lollygag around, sadly it isn't ... school's back in session, and so are we.

This week is our Autumn Splendour week kicking off on September 23rd with our week-long Great Autumn Sale. Enjoy 30 - 50% reductions on select products including bath products, table linens, curtains and much more. Contact us at camille@thecamellia.com or at 807.475.3551 with questions or requests. Sale wraps up Sept 27th!

September 26 - 27 is our annual Fall Open House. Visit us on Saturday from 11-5p and Sunday from 12-5p and take in our new fall bouquets and wreaths. Custom designed with natural flowers and foliage, no two pieces are alike.

This season's must-have: our Magnolia and Birch wreaths, recently featured on the 2009 cover of "Handmade in Thunder Bay," in classic dark brown and green earthtones.

Check out our essential oil blends to help you survive the upcoming flu/cold season by breathing easy while still looking fabulous (there's nothing attractive about the sniffles and a runny nose).

If you're like me and your idea of being whisked away from it all has to do with flowers, try our "Smell of a Flower Shop" direct from France; if you're like my son whose tastes are more epicurean, then you'll appreciate the scent of Crème Caramel from Aromatique wafting languorously through your home.

Upcoming workshops:
September 26th: Celebration of Sunshine
October 3rd: Designing your Thanksgiving Centerpiece
October 3rd: Lake Superior Fall Wreath.

Please contact me to reserve your place: camille@thecamellia.com or 807.475.3551.

Well I’d better get back to it – I’m taking advantage of the continued good weather to harvest and dry our garden flowers; also working on hydrangea and oregano wreaths, and designing French Linen Laundry bags (part of the Pretty & Functional line).

Hmm...mental note to self: take a moment to stop, breathe and be inspired by everything around me. And for my readers: Dream, design, decorate, re-invent old spaces, and notice the beauty everywhere!

See you in the country.
