The trees and the buds are saying it's Spring in Thunder Bay, in spite of the recent snowfall. The Robins are running along the path to the shop, all puffed up, looking around for some bare ground to find some food.

Order yours early, price is $39.99-$49.99. Need Flowers delivered? We have Spring bouquets of Parrot Tulips, & Ranunculus, and yes, we deliver.







Can't decide what to get? Come out to the store on Hacquoil Rd. and be Inspired!

Just like the yellow of these newly hatched chicks at Dan's Feed Barn, in Superior, Wisconsin. So warm and fuzzy and yellow and cute and chirpy... Such a treat to see chicks in the Springtime!















There were also cute yellow ducklings, all very worried and scared of us..! So cute and fuzzy, just starting to get their tail feathers

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.

French & European Country Decor at The Camellia




Mini framed prints, found in un magasin at the bottom of Sacre-Coeur....in Paris..... we have different prints in stock at the store.







Cheery Provencal fabrics, from the markets in Provence, sold by the yard.







We carry provencal and Toile Fabrics. Here is one of the cushions we make, with a toile and an alternating check, in Waverly fabrics.





All kinds of faux stone finishes are part of this look. Details are added around Fireplaces, and also around doorways, and mirrors.




These are replicas of old advertising signs in Tin. This one would be perfect for a bathroom.

When you visit Europe, you can't help but notice the lace curtains in all the windows. We carry Heritage Lace, a high quality, washable lace, made in the U. S. Come in store to see the many patterns and colours available. Best of all, no ironing needed.







Hand-painted signs are painted here at The Camellia, so bring in your sayings, and we'll paint them for you. Please order ahead.





Painted finishes are part of the European country look. This is an old cabinet which I painted, using Hide glue as a crackling agent. Then I used a Wisteria stencil in the middle of the door panels.




Tres Chic Hooks, good for organizing everyday necessities.








Here at The Camellia, we are in love with Lavender. You will find a wide selection of Lavender bunches, lavender buds, lavender soaps, lotions, room sprays, and sachets. I still remermber the smell of Lavender when walking into the foyer of a Gite in Forcalquier, she had placed a huge vase of Lavender buds in the middle of the room, and the smell was everywhere.





Le Cigale is the symbol of the South of France, this is a wonderful Lavender Cigale soap.
............................................................................................................................................................................
Love the look , but don't know how to achieve it? Call us at (807)475-3551 to arrange for an in-home consultation, or take digital photos of your room , and come out to visit us!
