Dear Stephanie, from The Enchanting Rose had her eighth teacup/mug exchange, and I must admit that this is something that I so look forward to. I appreciate all the time, effort and creativity that Stephanie does to execute this event. This time there were 167 ladies that participated. Thank you so much Stephanie! The lovely lady that gifted to me was Deb, from Garage Sale Gal, and look how she spoiled me!
Be still my heart...just look at this beautiful cottage teacup, by Colclough, made in England. I'm pretending that I'm living in that sweet cottage with the thatched roof and strolling among the beautiful gardens. Don't you just love the gold, whimsical adornment on the white parts of the design?
Mmmmm which tea should I choose first??? I think the Raspberry Earl Grey for today's tea!
Deb sent her favorite chocolates for me to try, too.
More goodies....yummy candles for a soft glow and delicious scent! Isn't the handmade gift tag so creative?
Yes, Deb, thought of everything! Included were wonderful tea note cards, and stickers. It was a pleasure to mail one off to Deb for all her thoughtful gifts!
Isn't this handmade tag so cute, too? There's a sweet teapot charm tied to the handle.
Now, please excuse me while I sip my tea, enjoy the lovely scent of the candle, and nibble on my chocolates! Thank you so very much, from the bottom of my heart, Deb, for our connection through a beautiful teacup. I will think of you whenever I use it!
I had the pleasure of gifting my friend, Judith, from Lavender Cottage and Gardening. As a thank you from Judith, she sent me one of her lovely, handmade cards and a handmade bookmark. Just look at the back of the envelope that she created! Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Judith, it was greatly appreciated. I also had the pleasure of sending a teacup and package to Janice, who no longer blogs, but wanted to participate. You can see pictures of all of those who participated, by visiting at The Enchanting Rose's 8th Teacup/Mug Exchange .
I am sharing this with these lovely parties:
Thank you for your visit! xo
Charming tea cup and saucer! What thoughtful, sweet gifts. I know that this was a special package filled with friendship in addition to the teas, chocolates, cards, etc.

Enchanting tea cup and Raspberry Earl Grey? Yum, that sounds divine. This was my first time taking part and I had a wonderful time and hope it continues for years to come!
ReplyDeleteKitty, love that cottage teacup! This exchange sounds like such fun. I wonder if Stephanie had any idea the first time that it would get so huge!
ReplyDeleteThe teacup you received is absolutely stunning! What a gracious gift from Deb.
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago, when I was authoring a "beautiful things" blog, I took part in a giveaway hosted by Deb, the Garage Sale Gal. She has exquisite taste in gift-giving.
