Hello to Spring, warmer weather, green grass, and yes, surprise, surprise, another Lockdown!! I know some of you are finding it difficult to remain optimistic, given the current state of affairs. We all long to get out of our homes, and just want things to be 'normal' again, whatever that may be. Who knew a virus would last this long...... Especially at a time like this, we have to treat ourselves to small luxuries, like planning our summer Garden. These roses are at the Rose Garden at Leif Erikson Park, in Duluth, Minnesota. they are stunning! ( Oh when will our Canada/U.S. borders open up? )
On another note, there are all sorts of supply chain problems with getting fresh flowers into our shop, that is just the way it is with the pandemic. Some growers have gone bankrupt, warehouses are short staffed and flights are not running as often. What does this mean for you? If you need to order Flowers for Mother's Day, order ahead, at least 1 to 2 weeks. We are closed to having the general public in our store, but open online for delivery and contactless pick-up. Phone to order at 807-475-3551, or shop online at

So many of you have been updating your Kitchens, and have been painting your Kitchen cabinets with Cottage Paint. These cabinets have been painted with Serenity Cottage Paint in the colour Driftwood. Such a beautiful colour. Not sure about what colour you need? Phone us at 807-475-3551, ask for a sample paint swatch, or you can borrow a cabinet door to take home, and return it in a few days.

https://iwindowshop.ca/collections/cottage-paint/products/kitchen-cabinet-paint-packageWe stock a lot of Cottage Paint, and we have a paint tinter here on-site, so no fears that we will not have Paint in stock.
Are you needing a Spring refresh? Try a preserved Moss bowl, like this one. We have some for sale, and we also sell the moss and supplies to make your own. There is no upkeep involved with the moss, as it has been preserved in glycerin and dye.
Sending Flowers to someone who is allergic to the pollen in fresh flowers? Or are you sending flowers to someone who has cancer? The bacteria that develops in the water of fresh flowers is not the best for those with immune-compromised systems. We design beautiful silk floral arrangements, such as the one above, using the most realistic of Flowers and foilage.
A touch of green, as in some new plants for your Home, adds instant spring to your home. This is a Pothos vine, and plants do make a nice gift for someone.
Some of you may have Air plants, which are plants that can survive without soil. Most of these plants are native to South America, and are used to a lot of moisture in the air. These handmade coconut husk birdhouses make a good home for your air plants. Coir is a renewable resource and environmentally friendly. They can be used indoors or out. Coconut husk does well in moisture.
They also are available in a double birdhouse, and we have both types in stock here at The Camellia. You can buy them online at IWindowshop.ca
It's a new season ( even though it seems like presently there are 2 seasons - BV before the virus, and AV after the Virus), and here is a beauty of a Wreath. This is a custom order for a front door. Call us today if you need to order a Gift for delivery in Thunder Bay.
