Built in 1915, many of its local parishioners contributed to the construction. Come for a visit during Doors Open Thunder Bay and explore the church with local parishioners available to guide you along, share stories, and answer any questions. A special performance will happen from 12:00pm to 1:00pm with the Thunder Bay Jane Austen Society singing in tribute to Jane Austen and her life living with a father who was a minister. Come listen as they sing period hymns that were sung in her father’s church in England. Further site details can be found at https://www.doorsopenontario.on.ca/.../st-benedicts-church

August vibes, The Camellia, Thunder Bay, Ontario

                                                  Thunder Bay Flower & Gift shop

We are fortunate here in Thunder Bay, as far as this Summer's weather. It has been sunny and a few hot days, but no heat wave, with Lake Superior keeping things cool, and a little shower every day, keeping things green. This photo above was taken in Sister Bay, WI, as you can see the grass around the planter is all burnt up. How has your summer weather been? 

Everyone has been travelling, with driving to your destination being very popular. (No wonder with the current mess at Pearson airport, in Toronto. Read about it here: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/toronto-pearson-airport-winnipeg-passengers-1.6544249?fbclid=IwAR23_iFL2lYAGtjt_I0gFQuGqawCS1GYFAolwUjSKkIBnG1uJ7WjZW-HRX4).

This is the Ferry to Washington Island, in WI. It takes about 30 minutes to cross over to Washington Island. 

With the prospect of Winter looming ahead of us ( we all know how long last Winter was!), it's important to go travelling, or go to Camp, while the weather is warm and there is no snow and ice on the ground. Where have you travelled to this Summer? 

There are many Weddings taking place this year, and for the next few years. We have been busy designing Wedding flowers, and are now booking for 2023 Weddings. Those of you visiting Thunder Bay for a wedding celebration, stop by and shop in our store, the Camellia, at 30/32 Hacquoil Rd. in Slate River, just outside Thunder Bay. Visit our Wedding website at https://www.lakesuperiorweddings.ca/store/c1/Featured_Products.html

This beautiful arbor above is at Fragrant Isle Lavender Farm, on Washington Island, WI. https://fragrantisle.com/

Beautiful pink Peonies, grown in our gardens. 

August is the best time to get at your Furniture pieces that need Painting with Cottage Paint. The weather is warm, and if your pieces of Furniture are big, it is easier to paint them in your garage. We do not recommend painting if your piece is directly in the sun. The colour above is Hidden Lagoon, by Cottage Paint. We have a large selection of Cottage Paint in-stock, and are excited to be offering Paint classes again. There are 58 colours in Cottage Paint, for more information, shop here https://iwindowshop.ca/collections/cottage-paint

The Camellia, Open Wednesday through Sunday, 12-5p.

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.'

It's May Long weekend, The Camellia, Thunder Bay.

Thunder Bay Flower & Gift shop

Hello!  It's  MAY long weekend...that long-anticipated weekend when fishing season opens!  Preparation has started weeks ago...cleaning out Campers and Rv's, and making sure Boats & trailers are ready to go. 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. Our No-see-um and Mosquito nets are a must. Don't forget to cover up in our Camo leggings, the ticks are already out.

We are OPEN this May long weekend,

Wed. 11-5, Thurs. 12-5. Fri. 11-5. Sat. 11-5 Sun. 12-5. Closed on Monday.

Extra blankets and pillows are a must...the air is still chilly. This is a classic Lake colour scheme - Navy blue, sunshine yellow and Cottage white. In stock now at our store.  

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!
