Who would have known I'd have so much to say?!!
Exactly three years ago I published my first post on this little blog. I knew nothing about blogging and I had no reason to think that anyone would ever read me ... it just looked sort of fun!
Here I am nine hundred and something posts and millions of page views later, and I'm still not an expert but I've certainly had a good time!
All I can say is thank you!
Thank you for the kind and spontaneous emails I receive, for the wonderful comments you leave here; for the way you have welcomed me into your homes and stopped by to see what's going on here in mine.
Thank you to all those very talented bloggers and photographers and stylists out there, who inspire me every day; you enrich my life.
Thank you to those of you who I've met, for opening yourselves up and sharing so readily. Blogging is indeed an amazing world!

promise I'll do my best to entertain you!

Well Sharon you are doing a fabulous job! And I know your posts make a lot of people happy and getting to live through your gorgeous pictures is the next best thing to being there, so thank YOU!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Sharon, I am so pleased I found you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your blog:) It is so lovely here - I shall be a regular guest, I have to say!!Greetings from Moorland Home xx
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your blog. I enjoy reading it and your pictures are inspiring. Thank you for the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Sharon! Your blog has entertained, inspired, thought provoked and brightened each and every day for me, for a long time now and yours was certainly one of the lovely blogs that encouraged me to start my own not long ago. Thank you and here's to many more years of wonderful posts!

Happy Blogging Anniversary!! Thank you for bringing us a little bit of French culture everyday! My mornings wouldn't be near as much fun without reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary and many, many more!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. Yours was one of the first blogs I accidentally came across and read regularly. It helped inspire me to start my own. And I agree, do it because you love it. It will grow and evolve with you. Still love reading yours and checking in daily. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog just about a week ago, and love it. Happy Blogging Birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you and your blog. I only started reading blogs about 2 years ago, and found you immediately. Strange how a blog became a ritualistic part of my day. I love yours, and many congratulations.
ReplyDeleteDear Sharon, Congratulations and Happy Blog Birthday. I want to tell you how happy I am that you have decided to blog and share with us your life in that little corner of Normandy, France. I look forward to reading you every morning. I know that it takes commitment and perseverance, not to mention a lot of your time, to post as often as you do. Your blog is always interesting, sometimes funny, sometimes sad (not too often)but always a worthwhile and beautiful read. ox, Gina
ReplyDeleteS...Happy Birthday! Yours has been one of my favorite places to go since day one....k
ReplyDeleteWOW. Congrats- that really is a major feat!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work! We love reading all about your world there, it's wonderful!
Congratulations, Sharon, and Happy Third Birthday!! I'm celebrating a blog birthday this month, too, two years as of January 19th. I don't have nearly the readership that you do -- still trying to grow my blog. It is a fun endeavor, isn't it? I hope you'll be blogging for a good while; I enjoy your posts and pictures very much.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Denise
Joyeux Troisième anniversaire, Sharon. Three years, a wonderful community, and so many Followers... You have done pretty well for yourself, Madame. I wish you another successful year, and many more after that! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

ReplyDeleteHappy Blog Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on three years of blogging. Since I found your blog, I visit it daily while still in my pjs and with the first cup of tea. I've tried some of your recipes, admired your home and garden, and the neighboring countryside, so when you say you don't know how long it will last, just the thought of that makes me implore you to carry on for as long as you can. You post almost daily which is a real feat in itself - thank you.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to being "3"!! I'm so glad I found your blog. I sat for hours last night reading. Lovely blog. Lovely writing. Lovely surroundings to be doing your writing! I'm jealous. ;)
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be following along. :)
Nancy
Happy Anniversary, Sharon. I look forward daily to reading what you have to say and day dreaming from the pictures you post. Thank you for writing such an interesting blog.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Love your blog! Spending a weekend in your little guest cottage is on my wish list - so glad I found you online!
ReplyDeleteHappy 3rd birthday Madame! Looking forward to the next 3 years! (?).
ReplyDeleteHard to believe I have been blogging for 5 years..........where does the time go?
Much love and success. xo
Happy Blog Birthday Sharon... I always love reading and seeing your posts... thank you for the time and care you take entertaining us... as a fellow blogger, I love to click over and see what is happening in your part of France...

Happy Birthday to that wonderfull blog ! and thank you for your nice posts and your beautyfull photos !
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to have found your site. I swear if you posted nothing but pictures of your flowers, inside and out, I would be happy. The bonus for me is when you create those wonderful stories. I think another blogger throws out a challenge and fellow bloggers "compete" for the best story. Your last centered around a Christmas dinner when the cook got snockered. I don't know how many times you've done that but it's wonderful. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I really enjoy your beautiful, thoughtful posts!
ReplyDeleteSharon,
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. Your blog brings so much to those of us in other parts of the globe.

Happy Anniversary! I love your blog. I was born in France and only get to see it in pictures and through blogs like yours. Thank you sharing.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your Blogging anniversary. I am in the US & visiting your blog is like a trip to France on Easyjet..! I think you should write a book - so many bloggers got discovered through blogging.

Congratulations on your 300! I really enjoy your blog and will be making my first trip to Paris in March. You help me see it differently and spark ideas. I just love the dogs and your stories. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteSharon, you say how fortunate you are to be welcomed into so many homes......we're the lucky ones who get to visit YOU every day and gaze at the beauty of your home, your country side, your warm and genuine insights into life. You have an incredible knack of creating the most beautiful vignette from the simplest flowers from your garden, some antique linen or some home baked deliciousness
ReplyDeleteThankyou for all the time and effort you take each day.....they say the eyes of the soul can be seen through ones' eyes.....we fortunate readers get to see your soul through the beauty and wonder of your blog!!!
