Tea Time Thursday #26 Teacup Exchange


My blogger friend Stephanie at The Enchanting Rose set up another teacup or mug exchange for her blogger friends. These exchanges have been really fun this year and of course, I chose the teacup.
Stephanie set us up and I received a package from Gabriele. She doesn't have a blog, so I hope she joins the link up on Stephanie's blog. Gabriele...thank you so very much for such a lovely box of Tea Time goodies. I'm sharing your package on my Tea Time Thursday.


I always get excited when I open the box and wonder what's inside! It was all so carefully packaged and everything was wrapped up with pretty tissue and ribbons.


Such sweet tea treats and everything matched. A nice break from all the fall colors. The teacup is just beautiful with pretty flowers and butterflies. I adore cups with the pattern on the inside of the cup.


The lovely tea towel matched all the varied colors of the teacup. So pretty, I'm not sure I can actually use it.


I was very touched by her note to me. I like the reminder to invite friends for a spot of tea! Gabriele, I wish you didn't live so far away...I'd invite you over for tea.


Isn't this so pretty? I have never had fun colored cane sugar like this for my tea. It's raspberry flavored too.


Another quick shot of my new teacup.


Just to let my bloggers know, I can do fall in colors other than the oranges and browns that I do love so much. I made these a few years ago and think I'd like to make a few more.


Thank you Stephanie for another fun teacup exchange.

What a fun package to receive. I am waiting for a box right now in a swap in the Yahoo group Brunch-Tea-Scones.

It certainly is fun to receive a package in the mail and this one is extra special! What a beautiful tea cup! I always use my newest tea towels on my oven door and then pray that my brother-in-law won't show up...he tends to think of them as hand towels. =D All that to say that I hope you find a way to use such a pretty one. Yes, that note is a good reminder to invite friends in.

Ooo la la! Your newest tea cup is divine, Linda :) It's a design that I have never seen before and am completely captivated by it! Enjoy your wonderful goodies from Gabriele - she is such a sweetheart!

Thank you, Linda, for joining the fun! You, my friend, are a blessing to me!

Love you!

Thanks for coming to visit and leave your lovely comment on my blog.

You sure got a nice package in the mail with such a pretty, colorful cup and saucer. Gabriele was so generous with the other treats she added too.

This has been fun and Stephanie is such a doll to host this again.

Have a wonderful weekend..the weather in our area promises to be spectacular! xo

What a lovely treat you received. I also like tea cups with the design inside, makes it more special. Thank you for visiting, we are doing alright, no major problems to the Lord thanks. BTW I don't think I would use the tea towel either. Hugs...Lu

Denise said...

So pretty! You should have Your package any day from Me. Wouldn't it be truly lovely if Us kindred spirits from blogland could get together easily like neighbors.I would love to just drop by some day for a chat.I'll take coffee in My teacup ; )

Hello Linda,
That is a beautiful gift to receive in the mail! Pretty teacup and flavoured sugar; yum! I like teacups with a little surprise inside the cup too. Makes sipping tea from it much more interesting.

I've never done a teacup swap. Living in Canada makes that sort of thing difficult as the mails are so expensive. I did swap a book with a friend here in Canada a couple of years ago and it cost more to send the book than it was to buy it. Sort of takes the fun out if it.
Thank you for sharing at my HOME and enjoy your day.

Blessings,
Sandi
