Feeding Frenzy


This past week, a huge flock of Grosbeaks has been feeding in our Crabapple trees. A sight to behold, especially with the recent snow on the ground. Birds are so JOYFUL.... and so happy with so little...

Christmas at the Camellia

Snow is here , bringing with it excitement and anticipation, gift giving , decorating , entertaining ( and for some of us, feelings of panic.!) At The Camellia, we offer great solutions for your decorating needs. We will not be at the Artisans Northwest show at the Valhalla this Saturday and Sunday. You can order wreaths and phone for prices by contacting Camille at 475-3551. We look forward to hearing from you. All wreaths are made to order, with the freshest of local greens.



Some of us can't wait for snow, like my silly Golden who loves to roll around in it.



He has loads of fun catching snow .



Here's a custom order with birch logs, faux greenery, apples, and cardinals. A great piece for a large dining table, a front foyer, or a christmas party.




For all those DIY people out there, you can purchase bundles of fresh greens and magnolia leaves for doing your own pots.
Phone first to order.


Square wreaths are also available, in a small and a larger size.



This wreath is simlpy a work of art, composed mainly of cedar and birch. Some clients have kept theirs indoors until the Spring. Cedar dries beautifully, and adds a nice aroma to the home.




A moss wreath, for a contemporary touch.




Silver maple, bamboo, weeping birch and icy branches. All grown in our gardens at The Camellia.




Red dogwood wreaths, in 2 sizes, small and large. Stunning on a bare wall.



Mixed wreath with every clip being a different bundle of greens, perfect for blue colour groupings. This wreath measures approximately 26-27" in diameter.



Under the Christmas tree...



This is the large red Dogwood wreath, one of our most popular wreaths.




This is one of the houses we decorated last Christmas. Yes, we also make evergreen garlands to order, this one has magnolia leaves, and large sugar cones. And yes, we do install!
What could be easier?

A Country walk










One thinks that the beauty of the tree lies in its leaves, and then one sees the bare tree.....







Going for a walk is a great way to enjoy Nature and the Outdoors ( especially if you've been in an office all day)

Ikea Ideas

If you need a quick change, Ikea always has cool stuff, at great prices. A trip through IKEA always reminds me to think about cubic space. (and about how much space I waste by hanging onto things I may never use. )


These are neat Light fixtures, and would be perfect over a dining table.



In case you need ghost chairs, Ikea has them



Who wouldn't like to have a walk-in closet like this one? Totally possible with Ikea.
Hours this week: Open Saturday, Oct .23rd. 11-5,
Sunday, October 24th. Noon-5p. Questions? p. 475-3551
