Today, I’m celebrating my third blogiversary! Double eights are auspicious, a symbol representing infinity, so may this blog continue to expand and grow infinitely! I can’t believe how quickly the time has passed since I first nervously pressed ‘publish.’ I look back at that post and see how far I’ve truly come. It is a satisfying expansion and evolution.

I want to acknowledge and thank all of you who have found something here worth following, your many kind comments, compliments and likes. I’d be nothing without you! ❤
Most importantly, thank you for welcoming me into your own blogs, sharing your creativity, ideas and news. I’ve learned, grown and become more through your inspiring posts and feel that many of you have become dear friends. I am proud to be a member of this marvelous WordPress community. May we enjoy many more fruitful years together!

Every time I see your blog I feel a little thrill….just like I’m about to open a special gift filled with delightful surprises.
You are such an inspiration. Your flower creations are not only so pretty, but I also love the history of your vases and the Latin names & information of each plant.
You are such a beautiful soul on this planet. I love you dearly, my friend.

By the way, can you explain to me the meaning of âmemeâ?
Liv
Thank you, Liv, you’re sweet to say that!
“A meme (/ˈmiːm/ meem) is “an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture.”
Time flies! It’s great to have you on wordpress! Take care Eliza!
Thank you, Nataly!
I just found your blog and have spent a very happy half an hour browsing your posts. I know just how you felt when you first hit “publish” I too found it a terrifying moment! But well done, 3 years is fantastic. I have a love of gardens and often write about ours here in SW France along with our life here. It’s very hot at the moment and the garden is parched and dry but thanks to our well the vegetable garden is thriving!
Thank you kindly. I just was over to your blog as well and I was overwhelmed by the beauty and perfection of the place. I think you live in heaven!
Thank you, it is lovely, but of course there are always the usual mundane every day activities too!
Yes, it doesn’t look that way all by itself! 😉
Congratulations, you have established a tremendous following in such a short time.
Thank you, Brian. All such good folk, too!
Congratulations and well done for persevering Eliza. Your blog is a joy to visit.
