When you have a 2-car Garage but you can't park your car in it.

Thunder Bay Flower, Gift shop, and Decor.

It's getting chilly out there, and for those of us who live in a cold climate, we know that snow is coming. All that summer stuff now has to find a home somewhere, kayaks and Camping gear, Gardening and lawn care stuff, sports equipment, and the list goes on. 

Some of us are lucky to have a Garage, however, stuff gets thrown randomly in there, causing a gigantic mess. . And, of course, no one wants to clean it up and organize it. Which leads to a lot of ...'Do you know where the  -------- is?' Which may lead to "IDK- I don't know." 

Some of us forget that the Garage is an expensive dumping ground... it can cost anywhere from $30,000 to $60,000 and up to build a garage, and this is a very low estimate. 

So what is in your Garage today? When the temperature drops, will you be able to park your car in it? No-one enjoys scraping ice and snow off their windshield. With our minus 30 C temperatures, it would be much better if you were able to park your vehicle in your Garage.

Let's see what is in a typical Northern Ontario garage. Since we just finished Summer, random items from Camping and fishing trips are strewn everywhere. Once the Camper gets back from the lake ( hopefully soon), then all the Fishing and Camping gear can get stored in the Camper. Of course, we are in Northern Ontario where Hunting season has started, and then, there is Ice fishing. Wait, there are also a couple of Kayaks and lifejackets over there. 

Systems for storing everything in a garage are all important. Slatwall is our # 1 tool for organization. You can buy Slatwall in a Building supply store, and cut it to fit your wall space. I recommend painting it with a dark coloured Paint, like Serenity Cottage Paint. Buy Cottage Paint here  https://iwindowshop.ca/collections/cottage-paint/products/grey-taupes-serenity-silk-cottage-paint. You can also Shop for Cottage Paint instore at The Camellia, at 30/32 Hacquoil Rd. in Slate River, Ontario. 

 

Maybe one member of the household likes Sports cars, and of course, that definitely cannot be parked outside in the cold! ( Most sportscars are taken out maybe once or twice a year, just saying!)

Then there are the random belongings of other people that somehow end up in your garage. Sentimental items that belonged to a family member who passed away. Parents who died and left their belongings for their children to sort out. 

Projects that were started and not completed. Mouldings left over from your house which was built 30+ years ago. Flooring that was bought, and never installed. Cork underlay which was leftover from a flooring project. 

With Winter coming up, snow tires have to be installed perhaps. What is THAT in the way? It's a 9ft. long couch, that couldn't fit through the doorway of a rental home.  You may have been asked to help someone move, and now, you've messaged them several times about their couch, and yes, their couch is still in your Garage. Now you can't put the stove on to warm up the garage....

When you have a 2 car Garage, but can't park your Car in it. 

Come shopping at The Camellia for Cottage Paint, Decor, Bedding, and perhaps to chat about Garage organization!

NEW show! Sparks and Fire Thunder Bay, the Camellia, Thunder Bay, Ontario

Thunder Bay Flower & Gift shop

  

Hello! We are inviting you to attend a brand new Event!

SPARKS & FIRE Show and Sale.

 This is a curated Show of established and emerging Artisans. This event is happening Saturday, June 11th.2022 from 11-4pm, at 712 MacDonell St. There will be the Hot Paddle Pizza food truck on-site, and music from CILU Radio 102.7 FM. There will be various Artisans, Potters and emerging Artists, do stop by and visit!

Yes, the Dried Palm branch obsession is on!! These are so in style at the moment for Wedding ceremony archways. They are sold out everywhere, but we have a bit in stock at our store, The Camellia. 

It's garden time ... that magical moment when the weather is warm enough to plant veggies and Flowers. But wait, we had a really wet Spring, so the Blackflies, Mosquitoes and ticks are next level. They rival the biting kabaura flies, found in the Rupununi, during rainy season in Guyana. See photo below of the Rupununi area, in Guyana. 

 

During the rainy season, one does not venture into the jungle, unless every square inch of skin is covered in full safari gear. Given that the temperature is 95 degrees, plus the humidity is the same, it is a sticky adventure, so be prepared. 

We have Travel Mosquito nets and no-see-um Nets for sale, in our store. 

It's June and the beauty of a Northern Ontario summer is all around us! 

Have a great weekend, and come out and see us at 'Sparks and Fire.'

It's May Long weekend, The Camellia, Thunder Bay.

Thunder Bay Flower & Gift shop

Hello!  It's  MAY long weekend...that long-anticipated weekend when fishing season opens!  Preparation has started weeks ago...cleaning out Campers and Rv's, and making sure Boats & trailers are ready to go. Many of you are likely heading out this long weekend to open up your Camp. It feels good to freshen things up at Camp - add some handmade flannel Camp pillowcases, and tackle that musty scent with our Forest-scented Balsam & Cedar diffuser. Our No-see-um and Mosquito nets are a must. Don't forget to cover up in our Camo leggings, the ticks are already out.

We are OPEN this May long weekend,

Wed. 11-5, Thurs. 12-5. Fri. 11-5. Sat. 11-5 Sun. 12-5. Closed on Monday.

Extra blankets and pillows are a must...the air is still chilly. This is a classic Lake colour scheme - Navy blue, sunshine yellow and Cottage white. In stock now at our store.  

Spring project DIY: Updating your Floor.
A quick way to update your floor is to paint it with Serenity Cottage Paint. Here we started out with 1/4" automotive tape on a cement floor, basecoated with Serenity CP in the colour Lichen, stencilled a Coral motif, then finished with Cottage Paint satin varnish. You can sweep up dirt easily, and mop with water and dishsoap.   

Spring project DIY: Updating your Doors. 
Tired of your wooden doors? Just paint them with Serenity Cottage Paint...choose from a palette of 58 colours. Lightly scuff up doors, clean with Cottage Paint Clean ' Prep, then use a 10mm microfibre roller to roll on 2 coats. No topcoat needed. 

This is our view at our store. It's worth the drive to come and see us! We are well-stocked with products, and you can custom-order Painted signs, Floral Wreaths and Dried Florals. 
We are triple-vaxxed, and we encourage you to continue to wear your mask when indoors. 
Have a wonderful May long weekend! See you soon!
