It's time for the big reveal of
Stephanie's Tea Cup Exchange!
I am so excited to share with you the treasures
that I so generously received!
My exchange was just absolutely PERFECT for me.
Margaret from San Antonio had me -
she isn't a blogger yet but wishes to be soon.
If she ever does I will announce it on my blog
so you can find her....
because we all need friends to follow us here, right?
Look at these two beauties I received!
As most of you know I collect super delicate antique china tea cups.
What a wonderful surprise to receive a modern heavier
(safer/more usable)
stoneware teacup in my favorite neutral ivory with a BIRD on it!
I ADORE this teacup and have used it every single day
since my package arrived! Thank you SO much, Margaret!!
Just look at this gorgeous goldfinch glass painted plate!!!!!!!
Is that just the most lovely plate ever?!!???
It's the perfect size for serving teatime snacks with a friend.
Even the saucer is bird shaped. : - )
She also sent me a few tea bags of kinds I had never before tried-
and in my eagerness to sip them (and only after enjoying)
did I remember that I hadn't taken a pic of them. Oops.
~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
In the box was this gorgeous hardmade card, too.
I keep it on my computer right here next to me
kept up by my pretty birdie magnets.
It brings me such joy when I see it, and tells me to
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY
♥
As you can clearly see, my teacup fits right in perfectly
with my home decor.
I couldn't be more pleased.
Again, thank you, dear Margaret.
The swap partner Stephanie chose for me to send treasures to
was Janice from Missouri, who writes the blog
Click on her blog name above to see what I sent her, if you'd like.
THANK YOU, TOO STEPHANIE - YOU ARE AMAZING!
I highly encourage all of you to go check out all the swapping fun.
Just click on the box above to get there.
As always, thank you for your visit!
HUGS!

Michele, this is a wonderful gifting, I do hope you mentor Margaret into blogging, I sure have done my fair share of bringing new visitors into the family we call bloggers....
ReplyDeleteTo only then watch them grow into beautiful bloggers of interest.
The cup and saucer are as sweet as can be, and of perfect morning and all day use, going from teas coffees to hot coco evenings.
Is it not the best when we see and feel the love from someone out there we only know from exchanging a bit of inspiration to becoming dear friends we call besties....
Lovely post my dear, and thank you for always showing me love in your visits to my home of pale and often unexpected.
Xx
Doré
wishing you a beautiful Thanksgiving. Ya know this summer
ReplyDeletemy finches were not here I put out thistle and never saw one??
Love the tiny yellow and black finches sometimes I'd see a red one.
