One of my readers, Paul, left the above comment on my last post. What a kind gesture. I am a puddle. There’s so much love and kindness in this world.

Well, not for 20 years, but for quite a few, and I feel the same. Well said, Paul!
Thank you!

Dropping a comment as another thankful follower of your beautiful little corner of the web. I discovered your blog in the early 2010s while in design school. In 2013 you posted about a little media company in the countryside of Switzerland looking for interns. I decided to throw out my application as a long shot and got the job! I spent a summer in Gais and it changed my life. I’m no longer in the design world but still a fan and a follower. That summer in Switzerland taught me so much about life and myself. Forever grateful for your post.

I absolutely agree and identify with Paul. A lover of all things garden myself, I have been a steadfast visitor of yours, Tina, for nearly two decades and find more often than not inspiration and learning in this “old style” blog.
Thank you!

I absolutely second that. I take out special time to read your Friday link pack with a cup of coffee and I diligently go through your curation along with the daily/weekly burst of inspiration that you share with us. Thank you for not following any trend and staying authentic. Much love to you.

Hello Tina! Another one here, reading for almost 20 years. Thank you so much for all the love and effort. It’s been an inspiring journey following both your posts and your career. Greetings from Spain :)

I want to take some well deserved credit in upping your sites visit numbers, because I automatically click on the SwissMiss image in my favorites bar several times a day searching for what you provide. I have just a handful of happy places on the internet, and your blog is one of them. Perhaps you have already posted something new that morning, and the chances of me finding a new post are incredibly bad, but there I go, touching the SwissMiss logo anyway. Thank you!

Hard same! I was a young digital-type in Dumbo 15 years ago and you led the way for online creativity. I check this space so often to see what you’ve recently found. Still such a joy.

wow. that is just beautiful. and i share his feelings.

I echo this sentiment wholeheartedly. What you thoughtfully share often makes me pause, sit with something to consider it, and then gently fold my takeaways into my day – to be pondered at a later time.
Thank you for the dopamine boost – for 15+ years.

Absolutely agree. I first stumbled upon this blog when I was attending Art Institute of California – Orange County back in 2007. Most days when I sit down to start working, this is the first place I visit on the internet. Thanks for keeping the lights on all these years!

20+ years! I envy you that you could insist one thing for such a long time

Just wanted to say thank you. I couldn’t agree more with Paul (and thanks to him for prompting me to finally leave a comment).
This place has meant a lot to me over the years, and I’m really grateful it exists outside the noise of social media. It still gives me something I didn’t know I was looking for.

I share every single word on Paul’s comment. He has written my thoughts and feelings for your blog, the only one I keep visiting regularly for interesting links, thoughts and curated posts. Thank you for keeping it up.
Feb 10th, 2026 / 4:42 am
Beautifully said. I couldn’t agree more!

STAAAHP! I am a puddle. You are all making me cry.
ok, I’ll continue posting. Thank you for appreciating I love you all.

Another 20 yr veteran! Paul has opened the floodgates!

Trying to figure out how long it’s been for me. At least a decade. Can’t say that about any other sites I check in on…. I feel like a human when I come here. Thank you for your care and attention@
Feb 11th, 2026 / 1:51 pm
Think its about 12 years of stopping by for me too….. might have bought one or two bits of furniture that you linked to.
So much more important has been listening to and thinking about what you have shared…. Thank you Tina,

Another old reader here from Spain!! You’re such an inspiration!
I was always expecting your posts and your Friday Link Packs, full of rabbit holes. 20 years … so quickly.
Sharing is living.
Best wishes,

What a beautiful soul and so gifted, putting into words what so many of us feel!

This is my first comment here, I think, but I have also enjoyed following along for over 14 years. You’ve inspired me in so many ways and this corner of the internet reminds me that there is always delight to be found, if you only look. Thank you for being you!
