Cupcakes and Cashmere

Five Years

March 14th, 2013

Opening1

The anniversary of my blog always sneaks up on me. I feel like I was a kid when I first started it, working long days at a job I didn’t enjoy and then coming home and writing until late at night. Lately I’ve been looking back at some of my earlier posts (which, I’ll admit, are pretty comical), and it’s been nice to get some perspective on how things have changed over the past five years. I think it’s important to acknowledge milestones in life, so here’s a small glimpse of some of the things I’ve done through Cupcakes and Cashmere, both professionally and personally.

Thank you for your support – I’m so appreciative of the community this space has created and love sharing parts of my life with you every day. xx

Congratulations on your milestone Emily! You deserve every moment of recognition and although you receive many similar comments, I just have to say it again: you’re an amazing, dedicated blogger and I won’t say that I want to be you, but I aspire to be a successful as you when it comes to writing about what you love!
Sincerely,

Congratulations on your anniversary! When I began reading this post it reminded me of me I’m currently at the start, a job I don’t necessarily enjoy and coming home and writing till late, I hope one day I can become such a successful writer like yourself

Such a beautiful blog, and such a fun idea for a post acknowledging your blog anniversary. I’m coming up on ten years blogging (what?!) and have accomplished nothing like you have, but we have ‘comical’ early posts in common. Although mine were far more comical. {And still are, for all I know.} Congratulations on all your growth and successes, both personal and professional!

CONGRATS! My 5th year is coming up soon as well. It’s really funny to look back on some of my posts. And I sometimes pass through the years I barely posted because of school. Ahhh c’est la vie.
