About Lizbeth’s Garden

Here you will find:

• poetry:

  I want to write poetry that actually says something. So much modern poetry takes empty phrases that sound good with a compelling rhythm to tap into the reader’s emotions. I want to tap the reader’s emotions, but to go beyond the visceral and tell a story.

• fiction

  {short stories, vignettes, and novel excerpts}

• essays

  {justice, technology, and current events}

• book reviews

• handmade products,

  {by me and others}

I follow a loose schedule of posting:

• Tuesday Treasure

  {featuring an item from my Etsy shop}

• Wordless Wednesday

  {a fun picture I have taken}

• Friday Feature

  {featuring other Etsy shops, often from the Etsy DTeam that I captain}

• Saturday Surprise

  {same as Friday Feature; likely to appear when I didn’t post a Friday Feature} or

  This Week’s Reading

  {a list of books I will start in the upcoming week}

• Sunday Service

  {reflecting on spirituality and/or religion}

Where does the name Lizbeth’s Garden come from?

I love to garden, and grow a large vegetable and flower garden every year. I am in the (slow) process of converting my lawn to garden beds.

When I set out to create my blog and shop, I was looking for a name that would encompass the bounty of ideas and writing I had, as well as the myriad crafts I make. I imagine Lizbeth’s Garden as a welcoming cottage garden, full of beautiful flowers and plants, overflowing their beds. Come inside and walk around, I hope you find something to enjoy. If you do, be sure and visit my Etsy shop, also Lizbeth’s Garden.
