Hello March !! The Camellia, Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Thunder Bay Flower & Gift shop

Hello!  It's March, yeah!!  Most of us can't wait for the snow to melt, and for warmer temperatures!  What do you love most about Spring? Covid restrictions are lifting finally, and Travel is opening up. It's a good time to pretend that it's already Spring in Northern Ontario.  Add Spring flowers into your Home, tuck Bird's nests into bookshelves, and force flowering branches into bloom. We are busy designing new Floral designs, like this one below, with Iris, Stock & Ranunculus. 

($79.00+13% HST).

 

Looking for something different for your Tablescape or Front door? This is our custom designed Spring egg wreath with bird's nest and paper roses. 

Tulips and Spring just go together! This is a medium wreath with pink and white Tulips. $49.00 +hst. 

What's NEW and Trending?

You may have noticed that we are all craving Organization, with Netflix shows like Marie Kondo and The Home Edit being on the most-watched-list. The principle is that if your things are organized and in place, that you will lead a better life. 

Wicker storage baskets that are part natural wicker and part white are popular at the moment, 

•   

  You may have lots of wicker baskets laying around, but they are in need of a refresh. Use Cottage Paint colour and seal, there are 13 lovely colours, and it's easy to apply. Or choose from 58 colours in Cottage Paint expressions, Hint, one 8oz. jar will be more than enough paint for a wicker basket refresh. See all the colours here at https://iwindowshop.ca/collections/cottage-paint/products/colour-and-seal-semi-transparent-finish. $19.95 + taxes.

   

Thinking of Travelling? 

Our fav go-to is Vera Bradley's Large Traveller Duffel bag, in an easy-to-clean Classic Navy, and we also stock a soft grey. It is soft-sided, folds flat when not in use, and meets cabin baggage size requirements. It has 2 pockets at each end, zippered closure, and wide straps which are long enough to fit easily over your shoulder. $139.00+hst. 

Alligator skin....it looks great on a handbag, but not so great when it's what your skin looks like. What can you do for Dry skin relief? My go-to's are Uncle Benny's Shea butter, and Neob Lavender's organic Pure Lemongrass cream.

Craft Revival TBay Spring 2019, The Camellia

Hello! We are beyond excited to be taking part in our first Craft Revival in Thunder Bay! It happens May 5th. 2019, from 10-5p. and you will find The Camellia in SHOUT Media building, at 37, Cumberland St. S, Suite 204 in Thunder Bay. This is a beautiful, roomy older building with high ceilings and a beautiful brick wall running the width of the building. 

We have been hard at work since January making hand-painted signs, moss walls, and all kinds of things. Moss walls are so on trend at the moment, especially in commercial buildings in urban settings like Toronto & Vancouver. We will have smaller versions at Craft Revival for your home, they make so much sense in our Northern climate where we only see green for a few short months. This is cushion moss, it's been preserved and dyed, so there is no maintenance, just keep your moss design out of direct sunlight. You can give it a light mist with water. 

For commercial buildings, here is an example of a mixed moss wall, with stone, and wood. Wouldn't this look beautiful in a Garden room?  Contact us a year ahead for large commissions for a similar installation. Call Camille at 807-475-3551 or visit www.thecamellia.com. You have to consider the humidity levels in your commerical building. 

For those who are anxious to start gardening and are maybe planning a she-shed, we have wire hearts with faux Spring flowers, like this one above. Everything is wired on, so you can twist and untwist a new seasonal insert for wintertime. Each season, many of our customers bring in their florals so that we change out the insert. 

If simple is your style, this is a hoop style wreath made for small spaces, and the choose happy sign is Hand painted. 

We have spent hours picking willow, which is found in wet spots, up way high. It's quite a challenge to pick enough branches to make a full willow wreath. 

It is a lot of work to do a pop-up shop, packing and hauling it all, and making sure we have guessed correctly as to what product to take. We will see you at Craft Revival TBay 2019, at Shout Media on Sunday, May 5th. 2019. Our store at 30, Hacquoil Rd. will not be open that day. 

We deliver Mother's Day Gifts in Thunder Bay and Slate River, On. 

Call us toll-free at 1-877-523-7444, or locally at 807-475-3551.

Mommin' ain't easy - The Camellia, Mother's Day delivery 2018 Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Being a Mom is the hardest job on the planet. I am sure you have had a few 'Mom' moments, good ones and not-so-good ones! As a Mom of 2 boys, I spent many hours at the Fracture Clinic and the Hospital. Agonizing over whether  the boys would grow up to be 'normal', whatever that is. If they would ever stop fighting. If the one kid would be able to walk after his ATV landed on his leg, and took a chunk out of it. Then one day, they do grow up, and they invite you to their house for Supper. You get a chef-style meal, and you pinch yourself, is this really happening? You notice that his house is cleaner than yours ( another surreal moment).
Then one day, your sons have babies. And you're at the Hospital again, looking at your tiny, just born, Grandson. And you start crying. And understanding dawns in your sons, once they have their own babies. And it's all worth it.

Tell Mom, "Thanks!" this Mother's Day, Sunday May 13th. 2018.  Bring Mom out for a visit to The Camellia, to our 'Mommin' ain't easy - Mother's Day, the Camellia.' We have hand-made coconut houses, Pottery, wreaths, Cottage Paint and so much more. 

Watch this video below to see how our Pottery is made at Mussels 'n More on the lovely Vancouver Island. Best of all, you don't have to get on a plane to see this Pottery, we carry it right here in Thunder Bay at #TheCamellia. The colours so remind you of the water, you can just see this using this mug at the Lake, enjoying a cup of morning coffee.
