New beginnings at The Camellia

Winter in Thunder Bay.

Left over seedheads from the summer look like a work of art against the snow.

A New Year is all about new beginnings and making New Years resolutions.

Summer urns all dressed up for Winter. Most evergreens will stay looking green until the Spring.





Have a great New Year's Day!

Celebrate a New Year with Flowers, & Bubbly

It's almost time to ring in a New Year, or as they say in the Caribbean, go out and celebrate Old Year's Nite!

Time to make a new path, and walk in a new direction!!

Celebrate the beauty of the snow, and the shimmering elegance of icy-encrusted willow branches. Nature is an ever-changing parade .



Some of you may have lost a loved one during Christmas. This evergreen wreath is a fitting tribute to a Winter ceremony, symbolizing the eternity of Life, made from fresh, local, Thunder Bay greens and twigs.

Just remembered a Gift you should have sent? Send a Potted Campunula plant, I planted mine in the garden in the Springtime, where it flowers profusely every year.

Add some Bubbly to the Gift.







This Potted Dishgarden of Cyclamen, Ferns and Polka-dot plant, is a welcome respite from the snow and the ice. A lasting reminder of your thoughtfulness.

Restoration of Self

We spend roughly one-third of our lives sleeping. Sleep is Restorative, if we have a good night's sleep, we awake feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day ahead. Choosing a proper mattress for your sleep patterns is all-important. We will address this issue in a later blog. Having all-cotton, breathable bedding is also a big part of getting a good night's sleep. Cotton breathes, thus promoting less sweating and therefore less tossing & turning. Cotton is also washable, making it a practical choice if kids or pets sometimes share your bed.

At The Camellia, we carry a selection of washable cotton bedding, perfect for those of who sleep
with your Pets. Come into the store to see our samples. Bring anything with you like paint swatches, measurements of bed, digital photos of your bedroom, etc.
