The Camellia, Slate River, On., OPEN Canada Day Weekend 2022.

Thunder Bay Flower & Gift shop

It's hard to believe it's already July, those of us who live in Northern Ontario spend most of our Summer waiting for warmer weather. This year the weather has see-sawed between extreme heat and humidity to cooler than normal nights, with lots of rain. The mosquitoes and blackflies are plentiful, along with the ticks. It is part of living in Northern Ontario, we have lots of forested areas. 

Happy Canada Day! 

We will be OPEN this Canada Day weekend, Friday 11-5, Sat. 11-5, Sunday 12-5p. Stop by and see us at 30/32 Hacquoil Rd. in Slate River. just outside Thunder Bay. 

Most of you have old pieces of Furniture waiting to be refinished, we sell Cottage Paint at The Camellia, a water-based, easy to use chalky Paint, which is available in 58 colours. Buy instore, or online at  https://iwindowshop.ca/collections/cottage-paint

Our Gardens are full of blooms, French Lilacs are blooming at the moment, with Peonies about to bloom. These blue flowers are morning glories, called Heavenly Blue. We started these from seed a few months ago. 

Have you finished planting all of your Summer pots? 

It's been a busy season with Graduations, and Weddings happening again. Here are some dried Lavender Boutonnieres which we made for a Wedding party. 

Canada is made up of many Nationalities, and we are proud to be Canadian. Happy Canada Day!!

NEW show! Sparks and Fire Thunder Bay, the Camellia, Thunder Bay, Ontario

Thunder Bay Flower & Gift shop

  

Hello! We are inviting you to attend a brand new Event!

SPARKS & FIRE Show and Sale.

 This is a curated Show of established and emerging Artisans. This event is happening Saturday, June 11th.2022 from 11-4pm, at 712 MacDonell St. There will be the Hot Paddle Pizza food truck on-site, and music from CILU Radio 102.7 FM. There will be various Artisans, Potters and emerging Artists, do stop by and visit!

Yes, the Dried Palm branch obsession is on!! These are so in style at the moment for Wedding ceremony archways. They are sold out everywhere, but we have a bit in stock at our store, The Camellia. 

It's garden time ... that magical moment when the weather is warm enough to plant veggies and Flowers. But wait, we had a really wet Spring, so the Blackflies, Mosquitoes and ticks are next level. They rival the biting kabaura flies, found in the Rupununi, during rainy season in Guyana. See photo below of the Rupununi area, in Guyana. 

 

During the rainy season, one does not venture into the jungle, unless every square inch of skin is covered in full safari gear. Given that the temperature is 95 degrees, plus the humidity is the same, it is a sticky adventure, so be prepared. 

We have Travel Mosquito nets and no-see-um Nets for sale, in our store. 

It's June and the beauty of a Northern Ontario summer is all around us! 

Have a great weekend, and come out and see us at 'Sparks and Fire.'

Many of you are likely heading out this long weekend to open up your Camp. It feels good to freshen things up at Camp - add some handmade flannel Camp pillowcases, and tackle that musty scent with our Forest-scented Balsam & Cedar diffuser.

Spring project DIY: Updating your Floor.
A quick way to update your floor is to paint it with Serenity Cottage Paint. Here we started out with 1/4" automotive tape on a cement floor, basecoated with Serenity CP in the colour Lichen, stencilled a Coral motif, then finished with Cottage Paint satin varnish. You can sweep up dirt easily, and mop with water and dishsoap.   

Spring project DIY: Updating your Doors. 
Tired of your wooden doors? Just paint them with Serenity Cottage Paint...choose from a palette of 58 colours. Lightly scuff up doors, clean with Cottage Paint Clean ' Prep, then use a 10mm microfibre roller to roll on 2 coats. No topcoat needed. 

This is our view at our store. It's worth the drive to come and see us! We are well-stocked with products, and you can custom-order Painted signs, Floral Wreaths and Dried Florals. 
We are triple-vaxxed, and we encourage you to continue to wear your mask when indoors. 
Have a wonderful May long weekend! See you soon!
