Welcome Springthyme in May at The Camellia
Thank goodness it's May...we hope it will be a month when the temperatures start to climb, and flowers start to bloom. The birds are all back and some serious nest-building is going on ...spotted a Robin with a mouthful of twigs and grasses just this morning.
Next Sunday is Mother's Day ...what are you getting your Mum for this special day? You can always call us to order a fresh bouquet, we deliver in and around Thunder Bay.
Or you can send her some potted plants.. like these lovely purple potted Tulips.
If your Mum is super busy and doesn't have time to look after something fresh ... these are the reamins of some tulips, they don't look so great when they're dead, do they?
Order our faux Botanical bouquets - $55.00 to $85.00. Stays good looking all the time.
Our Paris themed Egg cups . Come instore to get these beauties.

Orange Day in Holland, The King's Birthday, Part 1.
It's the King's Birthday in Holland this weekend ( formerly known as Queen's Day). With the new King, the first male monarch since 1890: King Willem-Alexander ....., the holiday was renamed to King's Day. It's a weekend of grand partaay-ing, lots of festivities, Parades, flea- markets, and if you're going to participate in the mayhem, wear ORANGE. It is without question, the biggest national holiday in Holland. Come along with us,on Orange Day, 2012.
First step, figure out how to buy train tickets in Dutch, from a machine. Took us a while to figure this out.
Onto a bigger train, note to self, they did not take credit cards here, only cash, so another trip to the cash machine.... In Holland, cash seems to be the preferred form of currency.
But wait a minute, are you dressed in something Orange? You must wear Orange on Orange Day. This stems from the Dutch monarchy, the House of Orange. To find out more about King's Day, visit http://www.holland.com/global/tourism/article/queens-day-will-be-kings-day.htm
Too funny, Dutch high-heeled clogs. Might be a tad uncomfortable for all the walking you'll be doing today.
Here we are in the town of Berkel, which is near Pijnacker...... The King's Birthday is also a day when all the kids ( and grown-ups) can sell their unused items in the Town squares without any fees or taxes. of course, I am totally excited about the prospect of finding old stuff, aka, antiques. I've been warned that it's mostly kids toys and strollers, but you 've heard the saying, 'one man's trash is another man's treasure.'
Yes, there is lots of kid stuff, but in between, some treasures, I had to have those old watering cans.
And we snagged an old typewriter, complete with original case. Love the pots with the green moss on them. At this point, my Dutch relatives are asking, but how are you going to get these onto the plane...? Good question, indeed! I wasn't thinking about that part.
Onwards to the Markets in Delph, in Part 2, to follow.
Here at #TheCamellia, we are celebrating King's Day with lots of orange merchandise!
Come visit us at The Camellia,
