Tea Cup Exchange


Stephanie, my sweet blogging friend from The Enchanting Rose is hosting her Tea Cup Exchange and I received my special gifts from Ceil at Surrounded by the Spirit.
I am having some cranberry tea in my new Rosina bone china teacup, made in England, that I received from Ceil.   


 

Besides the gorgeous teacup that Ceil found in a resale shop, she gifted me with the two types of teas, some Lorna Doone shortbread cookies and a  gold placemat for enjoying a "golden moment" for enjoying some "time out".   It's such fun to receive the package in the mail, but it's also so wonderful to choose gifts for the recipient.  I have met so many lovely friends through Stephanie's exchange.  
Thank you so very much, Ceil, for your thoughtful and much appreciated tea time gifts!  Thank you to Stephanie for hosting such a fun exchange!

 
Just look at this beautiful hand-painted teacup!  Isn't this a beauty? Somehow, drinking tea from such a gorgeous teacup makes it extra-special.  

I am sharing this with:

    Oh Kitty, this is beautiful!! I LOVE, LOVE bone china from England! What a treat and a wonderful exchange from Ceil. Unfortunately for me, I could eat shortbread until I pop. :) It's not exactly a low-fat, low-cal food. :) Your primrose is beautiful and cheerful, and so is the pretty golden placemat.

    I would enjoy participating in this teacup exchange; maybe I need to check it out. Thanks for showing us your beautiful gifts and have a wonderful day!

    Blessings,

    Denise at Forest Manor

    Hey Kitty, That is a precious tea cup! The blueberry tea sounds yummy. I had the privilege of sending to Ceil and I can say she has been a pleasure to get to know. Love these exchanges and all the beautiful gifts displayed, but mostly the beauty in each heart!

    I would love to come over and have a cup of blueberry tea with you - it's one of my favorites :) Your tea cup is a lovely addition to the Spring season, the colors are so soft and refreshing.

    Thank you, Kitty, for joining the third tea cup exchange - you are a gem! Much love to you!

    The teacup is pretty, and exchanges are a nice way to meet other bloggers. Lorna Doone shortbread is new to me but any shortbread is a great accompaniment to a cup of tea.
    Enjoy your new tea things.

    Hello Kitty
    That is one of the sweetest cups I've seen! I love foraging around the Hospice shops here - I'm always looking for pretty tea cups but so far I've only found a gorgeous old saucer!
    I find the shortbread very interesting - my husbands late mother's name was Lorna Doone Campbell, she would have loved this! I'll keep my eye out for it here to surprise him!
    What a fun Tea Cup Exchange - does this happen once a year? I would love to join in next time round as I enjoy everything to do with tea!
    Hugs

    What a pretty teacup, Kitty! I would love to participate in these teacup exchanges but the postal service here in Canada is just too expensive. Hope you're enjoying your weekend.

    Oh Kitty, you were so lucky to receive such a pretty teacup from the teacup Exchange! What fun, sweet lady! I'm to far away I guess, otherwise I'd love to partake in all the fun too!
    Hope you are having a lovely weekend.

    That looks like the perfect gift for a tea lover! Rosina is a favorite. How fun to have new teas to try, and shortbread is always perfect! Thanks so much for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

    That hand painted Rosina is really beautiful. I have some Rosina's and I love them for their originality - not decals!
