    Life away from Bella Terra

    ByMary Crozier July 11, 2018July 11, 2018

    It has been a busy few weeks away from home with limited internet coverage (how nice!). Since I don’t have a staff to write blog posts for me, I am finally back home and now able to share my adventures. The only glitch in the trip was the plane had to do an emergency medical…

    Our Hodge-Podge Art Collection

    ByMary Crozier June 20, 2018June 20, 2018

    On Saturday we were invited to a friend’s home for dinner.  I had never been there before but my husband had and was raving about their home, particularly their art collection.

    ByMary Crozier May 25, 2018May 25, 2018

    I have been out of town for the last week and was unable to send my typical twice weekly blog posts.  But there is a good reason why. Our oldest child, Benjamin graduated from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville last Saturday.  This is one of the country’s most beautiful educational institutions.  Rich in history…

    Glass Etching

    ByMary Crozier May 9, 2018May 9, 2018

    Etching glass is a relatively easy thing to do.  I purchased several Korken glass bottles from Ikea (a bargain at $2.99 each).  We keep these in the refrigerator filled with water~~easy to bring to the dinner table.  I like these bottles because the circumference is appropriate for smaller hands.
