 If you're like me, and wish for Spring to appear, here are some photos we took at Keukenhof Gardens in Lisse, Holland. Enjoy!!





The rain had just fallen, the sky was slightly overcast, the weather colder than normal, so the Tulips were superb!!






 Beautiful displays of Iris in one of the many indoor exhibits.








Wish I had one of these in my yard.... Tulips, hyacinths, and I don't know what the little  white flowers are, do you?

Christmas Gifting, The Camellia, Thunder Bay




How's your Christmas Gifting coming along? Almost there, or just starting?  At The Camellia, we are here to help. No jammed parking lot, peace & serenity, and help all the way!! Above is our set of 3 real Birch log candles.






We have lovely fresh Floral designs, ask for the JOY design in a silver square dish. We deliver in the Thunder Bay area (delivery charges apply).



Our Pink Delight in a glass dish, which can be reused as a candleholder.







 Or simply order a Vase of fresh Flowers, this one features white Casablanca lilies, pink gerbera daisies, and white button mums. 



 Or you can order a faux centerpiece, this one is perfect for a condo-dweller as it can be used after Christmas, simply by removing the reindeer and changing the ribbon. $95.00-$125.00










 Need bows and ribbon? We have a wide variety of ribbons,  and bows can be made up while you wait. This container is large , so a large Burlap bow adds bulk to the green ribbon, which is water -resistant.





 Voila!! After much cleaning, I can finally see the surface of the Dining table. I knew it was there somewhere...how are you coping with cleaning up the everyday mess..? It's like that saying..." My kitchen would stay clean if only people would stop eating in it!"






And the Baking....have you started yours yet?

Camille Overmeer at Artisans Northwest, Valhalla, Icelandic Room




 Camille Overmeer will be at the Artisans Northwest Art & Craft Show at the Valhalla Inn this weekend, Nov. 17th. ( 10am -6p) and Nov. 18th. (10am -4p).  We are in the Icelandic room, booth # 63, that's the smaller rooms off to the side of the main Ballroom.




 The arduous task of moving large-scale wreaths from point A to point B... 2 vans, a trailer, and product stuffed in kid's truck. I've also taken over the garage, and let's not talk about the state of my house. Also let's not talk about my backlog of orders, my poor clients! I am not ignoring you, we will talk next week.




 Our Fishing Wreath made from Faux evergreens and real Birch.





 The talent of those in the Icelandic Room... I love Metalwork.












See you at the Valhalla Inn this weekend! We're not Open this Sat. Nov. 17, and Sun. Nov. 18 th, 2012 at our store. Normal hours , OPEN Wed. through Sun. resume next week.
