Clear turquoise waters..

Fabulous food and great staff....

Mothers & Mother's Day

M o t h e r s ...........They do so much for us. When we are little and growing up, we are sometimes at odds with our Moms. Then we grow up and miss them. When they get older, sometimes they drive us nuts with their fierce independence. Later on, if we lose them, we often wish we had had a better relationship.

When my boys were little, one Mother's Day , they decided to construct a twig arbour as a Mother's Day gift. The arbour fell into disrepair, and this Mother's Day, my husband repaired it. It's all ready for some climbing vines or roses. On another Mother's Day, Kid # 1 sent me fresh Lobster from Prince Edward Island. He was working there at the time. While I was out of town, Kid #2 had a party and ate most of the lobster. I'm sure you have some Mother's Day stories, feel free to share them with me.

Sympathy Flowers Thunder Bay, Saying Good Bye to a Loved one...

At this time of year, when it's Spring and the grass is starting to sprout in sunny places and trees are budding, it seems unfair that we lose loved ones . What can you send to express sympathy ? Flowers are a universal tribute at funerals.

At The Camellia, we carry many Sympathy stones, these are stones with comforting words which you can send to grieving family members and friends. What about sending a beautiful Spring planter like this one? The stone is cement and can either be hung on the wall, or placed in a Memorial Garden or at the grave. We also have stones which have a spot for attaching a photo.

This planter contains wheatgrass, tulips, hyacinths, primulas, and pussy willows. Most of these have bulbs, which can be planted in the cemetery afterwards. An everlasting gift...

Call Camille to order your Expression of Sympathy, at (807)475-3551, or toll-free at 1-877-523-7444. We deliver to local funeral homes. Please try to order ahead.
