We're so close to what I expect will be the most epic Bella Rustina of my life - I say this because I've spent double what I normally spend on advertising, labor, etc for an event and this event has a concert and bouncy houses. I'm also managing 46 campsites. This has...
I finally got my Bella Rustina eclipse glasses in! They were supposed to come in last week so I was beginning to worry. It's so fun that I got to design these and order them from the local American Paperwear company. My favorite part is the inside of the glasses which...
Coach Taimi came over and helped me on some projects last weekend and one of them was hanging my crewel art in my stairwell. I'm so pleased with how it turned out - all the pieces I've collected over the years fit together so nicely! I have plenty of room to add more...

Y'all crack me up. Last week I didn't tell a story before listing out the sales for the week and I had people checking in on me. I appreciate the care! I had a super busy week last week and really just wanted to go to bed. But boy, I had an eventful week! On Thursday...
