    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier June 21, 2024June 22, 2024

    Well, it’s officially summer and we are so grateful to be up in the Arizona mountains and out of the 100+ degree heat. This is the first weekend since May that I do not have something (event, travel) scheduled and I hope to relax and do lots of reading, naps and baking. Do you have…

    Who Loves a Beautiful Window Box?

    ByMary Crozier June 12, 2024June 13, 2024

My business, Picket Fences, would breathe new life into older homes. This concept was long before “flippers” came onto the housing scene. With every…

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier December 8, 2023December 9, 2023

    Welcome to Saturday Meanderings! So much of my week was devoted to a neighborhood issue~lots of research, creating a powerpoint presentation and sitting in a hearing for 5 hours. Naturally I’d rather be decorating for the holidays, but sometimes other responsibilities take precedent. We have a rather large event at the house today, so I’m…

    Our First Fall Styling Workshop is a Success!

    ByMary Crozier October 25, 2023October 25, 2023

    Last Thursday and Friday, we hosted the very first Fall Styling Workshop here at our historic property, Bella Terra. Naturally, for weeks and months beforehand, we dreamed and planned. But anything you imagine in your head and then execute in real life, comes with a bit of trepidation. I am very happy to say, with…

Welcome to Life at Bella Terra. I’m Mary and I am delighted you are here. Life at Bella Terra is about embracing what the present can bring by valuing what the past built. Here, from our historic property, I will share decorating, entertaining, gardening tips as well as my adventures in the kitchen. Occasionally you may see a DIY but it’s only because it was a rare success! I hope that this blog will be a place of comfort and joy and together, we will learn something from each other along the way. Learn more >
