    Prepping for Holiday Decorations

    ByMary Crozier November 30, 2021November 30, 2021

    Over the years, I heavily decorate for the holidays. But this year, I am scaling back quite a bit. I think it has to do with the fact that the last several months have been overwhelming and I’m up for some simplicity. Do you ever feel like you are so busy yet nothing seems to…

    ByMary Crozier December 3, 2019December 3, 2019

    In addition to showing you beautiful pictures of the many wreaths we hang at Bella Terra during the holidays, the purpose of this post is the “behind the scenes” about wreaths.
