Bay Leaf wreaths , Camellia's, Thunder Bay, On

Christmas is coming and I'm trying to get into the spirit of things by making fresh Bay Leaf wreaths! These wreaths take a long time to make by hand, and they also take a lot of Bay leaves.

The smell is wonderful.... spicy and sweet at the same time. This wreath would be great in a kitchen or dining room.





Come visit Camellia's ...OPEN Wednesday through Sunday.

Junk Bonanza 2011, Shakopee, Camellia's Thunder Bay, On

I was so glad to be able to go to Junk Bonanza this year. I went last year and was overwhelmed, so this year I went with a shopping list, and a plan to start at the back of the show, and work my way slowly to the front. I was still overwhelmed by the creativity of the vendors, and the vast array of products which might otherwise have been thrown into a Junk pile.



I couldn't choose from the photos I took, so this is going to be a rather long post.

Industrial chic wall shelf.

Photo Op at the entrance to Junk Bonanza.

What a cool idea...reusing pages from old books!

A Bike Carrier basket --if only I had an old bike for this!

A lampshade made from old projector slides - what a great use for old slides. The light shining through the slides looks amazing.

French hand-stamped ribbon.

This dress could be a walking advertisement for Restoration Hardware.

Nice skirt - made from pages of old books.

Old typewriter keys made into Jewellery - how cool is that?

Camellia's - Come into the store to see what we created with our finds from Junk Bonanza ..
We have extended hours this Fall - so you can Shop longer. We are OPEN ALL YEAR LONG!
Wed. 11-5, Thurs. Noon-8. Fri. 11-6. Sat.11-5. Sun. Noon-5.
