Tea Cups Travel the World.....

My dear friend

Stephanie

of 

The Enchanting Rose

has hosted another of her world famous

Tea CupExchange

Parties

I was partnered with

Mimi

of

A Tray of Bliss

She sent me a beautiful tea cup named

Clementine

embellished with exquisite pink roses

of the vintage kind - my favourites

Also in the package were

a gorgeous heart

and

the prettiest beaded lace collar 

both hand made by Mimi.

I just love the sweet card Mimi made

for me as well.

Thank you

Mimi

You have spoiled me with

all these pretty gifts!

I sent my tea cup to

Trisha

of

American Honey Home

and

it was my pleasure to find

the right tea cup for her

Stephanie had sent me an email

telling me Trisha's favourite colour was yellow

so when I spotted this bone china tea cup

in a little antique shop

I knew it would be perfect!

It is a Royal Albert cup

named

Primulette!

I hope Trisha loves it too.

I added some other 'tea related' bits and bobs

with a Kiwi flavour

to give her a taste of New Zealand.

Thank you

dear Stephanie for hosting another

of your lovely tea parties.

I know what a huge undertaking it is

and you run it like a professional!

Take care dear friends and

be kind to one another

Merci à bientôt

Tea Cup Exchange Party!

I love tea cups and all that goes with the

gentle art of tea drinking... so I was delighted when

Stephanie of The Enchanting Rose

told us she was having another Tea Cup Exchange party!

This beautiful cornflower tea cup and saucer

arrived in a parcel from Stephanie - what a lovely surprise!

I didn't know Stephanie was my giving exchange partner

Thank you

dear Stephanie for your beautiful gifts

I was 'over the moon' with everything you sent me!

As you can see there were so many beautiful items

and all hand made by Stephanie!

A lavender sachet, the sweetest fridge magnet, 

and a set of pretty greeting cards!

   

My receiving partner for the swap was

Asia of Under a Creative Spell

I visited Asia's blog to find out what she liked

and learnt, she loves Shabby Chic

which is what I like too - she was the perfect partner for me!

I sent Asia a vintage tea cup, saucer and plate

I found in my local Hospice shop!

I fell in love with it and felt Asia would like it too!

It was made by Royal Albert and has the lovely name

American Beauty.

I popped a few extras in the parcel including

a rosy tea towel, a fragrant drawer sachet

an embroidered linen tray cloth and a French magazine

called Shabby Chic!

I was in such a hurry to wrap my parcel

and get it to the Post Office....

and I totally forgot to photograph everything

(that's the second time - it happened at the last swap too)!

Merci Asia for sending me copies of your photographs!

Thank you

dear Stephanie for hosting your Tea Cup Exchange Party

it was a huge success and I'm looking forward to

the next one later in the year!
