Like Uncle Benjamin, I must say an original thing: how time flies! Would you have imagined that my humble little corner of the Internet is celebrating its three year blogiversary today?
Though in a way, it almost feels like longer than that – the blogging community is such a natural part of my life now, it’s hard to imagine a time when it wasn’t. Taking the time to express my own thoughts in blog posts, getting to read other bloggers’ thoughts whether in blog posts or comments, and having deep discussions as well as light enjoyable chats with you all, is such a big source of joy for me. I feel so blessed that I decided to start my blog and that I’ve met all of you.
I’m so very grateful to every one of you who reads, who comments, and who follows my blog – thank you so much! I can’t believe how many friends I’ve been lucky to make through the blogging world. <3 There are too many of you to list everyone, but be assured that I am thinking of and appreciate every single one of you.
Now I guess I’ll share a few stats, since That’s What You Do.

A post from the past year I’d like to highlight:

And now, before I wrap up, I have a question for you readers: I like to do something sort of celebratory for my blogiversarys, and for some months I’ve been wondering if it might be fun to do an Ask Me Anything post. Would you be interested in that? Would you find that fun? (Or if you have other ideas of fun celebratory posts I could do, I’d love to hear that too!)
So…yes! In short, have a special three-year-blogiversary cup of tea or something to celebrate with me, and thank you all so much for being here!

Congratulations!!! We’re also all so glad you decided to start Starlight and Saucepans, Lizzie – it’s a beautiful blog and we’re lucky to have it, and to have you around on the blogosphere too :). And yes, an Ask Me Anything post would be enormous fun!
Thank you so much, Cecilia, I really appreciate it <3 And thanks for the input on the AMA! It looks like I shall indeed be doing it ;D
Congratulations!!! That’s so exciting! I love your blog so much – here’s to many more years of it! And I think an “ask me anything” post would be really fun!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Caroline! I look forward to continuing to read your blog as well (:
Congratulations, Lizzie!! 🎉🎉🎉 I’m so thankful for your blog and your friendship. I concur with previous opinions on the AMA 😉
Thank you, Ruth! And the same to you <3
A huge congrats, Lizzie!!! It seemed not too long ago that we were celebrating your 2nd blogiversary. I can’t believe we have reached another year already! The Ask Me Anything post sounds fun!
Thank you, Eva! I know, right? This last year has gone by unbelievably quickly!
Oh, congratulations Lizzie!! How amazing!! I can’t even fathom that eventually I’ll have been blogging for long enough that I’ll be able to write blogiversary posts too 😂 Anyway, love your blog, and congrats!!
Thank you, Ava! I look forward to celebrating your first and many subsequent blogiversaries on your blog (; (It’s funny, I remember impatiently planning blogiversary posts long before my first blogiversary…and somehow I’m now on my third one, which makes me feel pretty ancient when I think about it too hard xD)
Yay!! Thanks!! Honestly, I have no idea what I’d do for an anniversary post 😂 I’ll most likely troll the blogosphere for inspiration, then borrow what I like 😉
Well, that is one of the ultimate best ways for gathering inspiration 😉
Oh, I’m so happy you had an inkling that a blog might be an enjoyable thing to have way back then, Lizzie🤗 I can’t imagine the blogging world without you in it!
Ooh, an Ask Me Anything post, that sounds like so much fun!! Count my vote in with the Yes Pleases 😉
*immediately starts thinking of questions to add to the stack, and raises her celebratory cup of tea with a flourish*
Here’s to Starlight And Saucepans, long may it prosper! Also, may we all be just as happily commenting away on it three years from now 🙂
Aww, thank you, Emi! 🤗
Ooh, I look forward to seeing these questions…this should be fun 😀 *clinks cups of tea*
Yes indeed, here’s to many more years of comment conversations with you lovely people! 😀
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!! Your blog is such a delightful corner of the internet and I dearly love reading your posts! I think an Ask Me Anything post is a delightful idea!
Thank you so much, Grace! I so appreciate it <3
Happy third anniversary, Lizzie!! 🥳
Thank you so much! <3
Congrats, Lizzie! I’m so happy you started blogging three years ago! I’ve met so many fun people from your blog that I never would have otherwise! I’m so glad that I decided to look up and research Pride and Prejudice 1995 vs. 2005. That’s how I found your blog in the first place!
I can’t believe it’s been 3 years. I just remember your 2nd year post! O.o
Oh my goodness, I just realized that I missed this comment…I’m so sorry, Autumn! I remember that my P&P post was how you first found my blog…I, too, am glad that you did and that I got to meet you! 😀
I’m sorry I got a little behind in the blogging world, but congratulations, Lizzie!! I believe I have “known” you for just shy of three years, which is a simply ridiculous thought. How time flies indeed! <3
Thank you so much, Hannah! <3 It really is crazy, isn't it?
Happy belated Blogiversary!!
Cheers to many more years to come! 🙂
Thanks so much, Liz! <3
