On a beautiful day, I received these special gifts from a new blogging friend,Debby,who blogs at My Favorite Things. All this is made possible by the love, dedication, and organization of one dear, sweet friend, Stephanie, from The Enchanting Rose. Thank you, Stephanie for all that you do for us! I'm amazed how she can coordinate almost 200 participants, not just here in the USA, but around the world!
Included in the package was this beautiful teacup that came with a darling spoon. Isn't it pretty? I have no other like it, Debby!
I also received some yummy treats and a variety of black teas.
Debby sent me one of her own creations of a gorgeous note card....
...and this darling creamer from the Pioneer Woman's collection. This will come in handy, as I always have milk in my black teas.
Now, if you'll please excuse me while I have a cup of Lady Grey tea and a shortbread cookie that is stamped with the Scots Thistle, and I'll read Debby's sweet note again. I'm sorry to say that the Lindt candy is already long gone, but my, it was good!
Thank you so very much, Debby, for your thoughtful and much appreciated package. I have enjoyed getting to know you, all through a cup of tea.
I sent these gifts to June, who doesn't have a blog, but now we are Facebook friends. June calls herself a Red Hat Queen, and I thought she deserved a teacup with a castle on it. June sent me a sweet thank you note and a yummy new-to-me tea. Thank you, June!
I am sharing this with:
Thank you for your visit! xo
Oh Kitty...the joy that comes from dear Stephanie's teacup exchange could never become stale or old...I have SO enjoyed looking at all the beautiful teacups, teas, sweet treats and goodies received in this particular exchange!

I love what you sent to June and the fact that you sent her a tea cup with a castle on it because she is a Red Hats Queen is very unique and thoughtful. I am happy to hear the two of you have become Facebook friends :)
Thank you for the kind words and for always participating in this event. I was telling Linda from Lady Linda Tea Cup that she is part of a handful of ladies that have participated in every exchange. You are also included in that group and it wouldn't be the same without you. Much love!
What a fun package! That note card is really pretty, isn't it? You truly were blessed. And your outgoing package is also very pretty!
ReplyDeleteA perfect swap all around, Kitty. Your treasures both received and sent are just awesome. I really love your new teacup - isn't that gorgeous!??!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs. ♥
Your tea party setting outside was simply beautiful, you staged the lovely items gifted you to in magazine-worthy style! Love that Pioneer Woman milk cow, I think I would have every one of her pretty dinnerware items, they are so fun and delightful. I received those Walker shortbread cookies too... oh they are soo good! Your teacup is delightful, and Debby is such a dear heart, I didn't know she made her own cards, the card is gorgeous! And the package you sent filled with thoughtfulness for a special queen indeed! Love the red theme you came up with. Such fun isn't it, all this tea partying is just pure joy today :) Hugs to you dear friend!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you met Debby through the exchange Kitty, she is a special friend and blogger. What a gorgeous teacup and other autumn goodies you received from her. Why is it we can never get our shortbread to taste like Walkers? :-)

Aww...Kitty, your post is such a blessing. I am beyond thrilled that you enjoyed your package. You sat up a beautiful tea party with your new pretties...I love it! About those cookies...I had not tried them before and I received some in my package from Kelly as well. This morning I needed a little something sweet with my coffee and opened a pack....they are SO good! I fell in love with that teacup you sent to your partner...everything that you sent her coordinated so well. I'm sure she was truly blessed to receive her lovely gifts from you! This was so much fun! Enjoy the rest of your week, Kitty...HUGS!♥
ReplyDeleteYour new blue and white teacup is a beauty; I've always liked teacups with interior designs! The floral cow creamer is also super cute. I'm also admiring the autumn-themed package that you sent June. The pretty red transferware teacup is definitely worthy of a Red Hat Queen!
ReplyDeleteThe blue & white teacup is a beauty Kitty! Aren't Walker's shortbreads delicious? You sent out such lovely things to your partner too ... another beautiful teacup & saucer. I love both blue & white and the red & white patterns. Enjoy the remainder of the week!

Your tea cup that you received in the exchange is unbelievably pretty. I love the shape of the cup. The one that you sent to June is also a delight. How lovely that though June has no blog you have managed to link up via face book. This was my second swap and I can't wait for the next one in order to participate. hugs ValeryAnne (aka Mrs A. )
ReplyDeleteHi Kitty, I love everything you received from Stephanie's fun exchange. I hope you enjoy it all!
ReplyDeleteI'm finally making my way to all of the teacup exchange blogs. Your new teacup is so pretty-love the wide mouth. The creamer is absolutely adorable. I need to check out Pioneer Woman's kitchen collection. Love the colors on the cow.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Walkers shortbread. Isn't it the best with tea? Such a perfect pairing.
Your gift from Debby is lovely! I like the autumn themed package you sent as well. :-) Both tea cups are so pretty!
