It was two years ago today that I wrote my first blog post. The first time I invited you to share a cup of tea with me I wondered if anyone would respond and two of you did, Pam at PAMKITTYMORNING and Angela at Cottage Magpie. I was thrilled. Then bit by bit I found all of you and I was hooked!
It has been a wonderful two years, travelling around the globe , peaking into your homes, listening to your stories, and sharing your triumphs and sorrows.
You have made me feel a part of a very special community of people. Thank you for all your sweet comments, the encouraging words in your posts, the inspiration and affirmation I have received from you.
I thought I'd revisit some of the photos I've used for banners in the last two years.

Blue glassware in the kitchen.
Summer flowers fresh from the garden.

Thanks for making these two years of blogging very blissful!!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Rhondi! I can't remember exactly how long I have been following your blog, but I can tell you I ahven't been able to leave since the first time I found you! You are always inspiring, beautiful, friendly and fun:>) I hope you never stop!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and Thanks Rhondi! Your blog is so beautiful. The first time I came here I think it was the wicker chaise with blue and white on the banner. I was immediately drawn in and have been hooked ever since. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 2 years of blogging, Rhondi. I always enjoy my visits here. I admire your quilting and decorating talents, not to mention I share your love of blue and white. It was fun to re-visit your previous header pictures. All of them are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rhondi, for giving us so mcuh of yourself, your life (and your exquisite quilts) to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for making it two years. I am a recent follower to your blog, but I know we would be kindred spirits. Either that or we would be mortal enemies, racing for every blue thing to see who got it first.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the two years. You have a great and interesting blog.

Thank you for two wonderful years!

That's wonderful! Blogging is such a pleasant way to spend time. I may not post as much as I would like, but it allows me time to read other blogs, to be comforted and inspired by others. Your blog is a delight.

Congratulations on two years of blogging, Rhondi! It is you that has brought such joy and beauty to us and I thank you. Your blog is always a pleasure to read and your photo's are always beautiful. Everything is true, crisp, clean and intriguing. And I've always loved your Thankful Thursday's. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your life!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on these first two years! First? Yes, as I for one hope there are many more. I found you at the beginning and have enjoyed the time I spent visiting you.
ReplyDeleteSorry I am not around as much. I hope that after the house is back in order and my doctor appointments this month, that things will become more ordered. We are counting down. Only two more days and we can start putting our house back together again. In the meantime, I am actually enjoying knowing so much is also being purged. It is freeing to know I am letting things go too.
Again Congratulations!
Hugs ~
Heidi

ReplyDeletecongrats! as a new-blogger myself, i hope to be as strong as you are in two years :) though, all the talk of tea is making me sad - it's hard to find a good cup in Budapest :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 2 yrs..... although I'm a fairly new visitor, it has been a joy reading your posts.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a wonderful two years it has been for the blogging world! Congratulations on your successful blog - it makes my day. Here's to two more wonderful years, my friend. ~Adrienne~
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Rhondi! I think it's quite an accomplishment to be able to come of with two years worth of blog posts! Sometimes I wonder how/if I'll be able to do it. I love all the banner pictures but when I think of you I always think of your chaise in the sun with the blue quilt!
ReplyDeleteManuela
Yipppeeee..........two years of happy blogging! Good for you. And, even better....a new little grandbaby. Oh....I'm CRazZZZZy about my grandson....it's so much fun, isn't it? Congratulations on both!
ReplyDeleteI love your blues. Just yummy. I've been on a blue boycott ever since I did my entire house in blue about 20 years ago....but that feeling is quickly fading as I see all the beautiful blues in blogville...I'm planning a blue bedroom as we "speak"...
Enjoy your new little fella...and Happy Thanksgiving!
Warm blessings,
Spencer...... What a coincidence, huh?
