The Real Camellia Cottage
The name Camellia Cottage comes from the small playhouse in my grandparent’s woods. It started out as a small one room building covered in cedar shake. Due to the breathtaking camellia bushes that surround it, my grandmother and I named it Camellia Cottage. Recently, she added a deck and newer room which we call "The Lodge". The real Camellia Cottage is filled with our yard sale finds, and has been host to dozens of tea parties.

 The Ladies of Camellia Cottage
The business side of Camellia Cottage was the idea of Shannon Marlin. She was inspired by her grandmother, Betty Scott's, love of collecting dishes, linens, antiques, and almost everything else. They often met ladies at different places who seemed to enjoy the ambiance of the real Camellia Cottage, so they created this shop in hopes of sharing their special finds.

Betty and Shannon often call themselves "The Ladies of Camellia Cottage". Together they have hosted many tea parties, shopped at most of the local antique shops, and met so many nice friends in the process.
Shannon has a certificate in Floral Design from Central Piedmont Community College, where she talked her grandmother into returning to school. She inherits her love of gardening from her grandmother, so their studying florals seems only natural. The flower images used in the site's layout were taken by Shannon. The center image, of a trillum, was found growing near Camellia Cottage.
