Fall, Firepits, & Warmth

SUMMER ended so abruptly. One minute we were having a hard time coping with the heat and high humidity, then Mother Nature flicked a switch, and we were shivering in the sudden cold. Our neighbours had their annual get-together this past weekend, and we finished the evening gathered around the firepit. Gathering around a crackling fire is one of my favourite activities in the Fall.


Come into The Camellia, and get a custom-designed candle centerpiece for your table. In this design, I used faux Maple leaves, sunflowers, roses, ranunculus, peaches, lemons, grape clusters, and wheat bundles grown here, from a nearby farm.


WARMTH - Wrap yourself in a vintage mohair throw - Hudson's Bay Company. Part of our Opa's Farm Goods line. Plaids never go out of style.










Brown & beige - always in style, goes with every outfit. Not too big, nice and compact, with lots of organizing compartments. And very affordable.




New this season, pleated pashminas in multicoloured hues. Perfect for those nippy Fall days.
$ 19.50.



Grey is the new neutral this Fall. Fashionable for everything, from walls to fashion. What about this purse, a great Fashion statement to give your fav Fall pieces added pizzazz. It even has another necessary element for this season, bling...

Organic Lavender Wreath















I was really hoping we would not have frost so soon, but it is September after all. So I have been harvesting Lavender Hyssop, and Oregano. And making wreaths. This wreath will be perfect for a Kitchen or Family Room. The barley was harvested from a nearby Farm.
