Take 5, Camellia's Thunder Bay, On

I think we all have those days where it all seems to be too much....oh to be at the Spa...oh I wish I was on vacation..Oh I wish I had a Personal assistant to arrange the Vacation.....sigh.... It so helps to go outside and take 5 minutes, to sit and take a break. When was the last time you took a break?

This is the view right now from my deckchair - a perfect blue sky. Amazing how being outside and gazing at the sky can make one feel instantly better.

Listening to the sound of running water is relaxing to the spirit.

The view of the Mountains. So magnificent! I feel so blessed to be able to live close to the Mountains.

The sound of the wind rustling through the Poplars.

If you close your eyes, the wind rustling through the leaves of the trees sounds exactly like the ebb and flow of the waves in the Ocean. This is such a soothing sound. So the next time you are feeling overwhelmed by things, Take 5 , head outside, and reconnect with Nature!

Summer Peonies, Camellia's, Thunder Bay Flowers

I just LOVE Summer! A big part of Summer for me is watching the Flowers grow and planting the Cutting Gardens. The peonies are just starting to bloom. They are one of my favourite flowers.

Pottery Fair, June 2012, Thunder Bay, On

This post is for those of you who missed the Pottery Fair, which was on this past Saturday, in Thunder Bay, On.

Beautiful pieces made at The Underground Gym. A few of these vases came home with me, I love the hand made quality and the colours of the glazes.

These pieces would certainly make a nice Wedding present for a lucky couple.

A rich, chocolate brown - a perfect addition to a new Kitchen , especially when teamed up with a new chocolate brown sink.

Blue and cream - this popular colour combination always reminds me of the Lake, ocean and/or Beachside Cottages.

I've always wanted a butter Keeper - you can leave your butter out of the fridge so you can spread it easily.

Who doesn't come home tired, and throws off their jewellery and tosses it in random places? This handy piece is for you!

Unique Birdhouses...in various colours and sizes. Wouldn't they make a great Gift for the Birdwatcher on your list? We have some clients who do their Christmas shopping year round, that way , they stay calm and collected when the Christmas season rolls around.

These are my favourite - very Provencal -looking pieces, made by Brad, of Moss Cottage. Love the cream glaze and the antique look.

Thank you to all of our loyal customers ! Here's a peek at some visitors shopping at the store today, and their lovely vintage convertible.

With all the rain we have had, the farmers are haying, ( not sure if this is the correct term..?)
