Tea Cup Exchange Reveal!

Once again I have the pleasure of sharing yet another

 wonderful experience joining Stephanie's semi annual 
The Enchanting Rose blog TEA CUP EXCHANGE!

Steph has allowed some time before the big reveal day
because swappers from all over the world are involved.

It takes a little time to travel the globe!

So with joy and delight I am happy to reveal
my wonderful exchange experience with you all!

What fun being a part of this exchange is -

 and making a new friend or two in the process
is the very best part!

This time I was blessed being paired with

a Canadian, Kelly Harris-Graham, of the sweet blog

Homespuns and Hayfields 

Just look at this lovely teacup she sent to me!

Isn't it absolutely beautiful?!?

Her package to me was loaded with awesomeness!

Inside were beautiful note cards, box of candy, delicious chocolate

Tuile (rolled tender crunchy sticks,) tea, a sweet laminated birdie Bible verse, a birdie notebook, an adorable handmade teacup coaster,

and two absolutely wonderful poured candles

 in tiny vintage baking tins.

♥

Oh Kelly, thank you so much for everything - 

I will treasure it always!

(Except for Smarties, as you know my hubs got a hold of those!)

Isn't that butterfly sticker pretty on the envelope

 of the cute Sunflower card she enclosed?

BTW- Kelly told me she got her tutorial on making the fabric
tea cup coaster from Stephanie's blog right here. 

I have it in my office and use it several times a day.
It will always remind me of Kelly AND Stephanie! 

♥♥

A little birdie must've told her how much I love bird things.

I have already been using my sweet notebook!

It's become a permanent part of my purse arsenal now.

Kelly really spoiled me!

These two wee candles are just so adorable!

I just love these teacup exchanges!

If you haven't joined in the fun, I highly recommend it!

Hopefully Stephanie will host a spring swap as well,
but the work load to host it is intense....
I cannot even fathom how much work goes into it!

(She is such a blessing to the blog world!)

I all set for a short respite from the world

using my pretty new teacup, sitting with a favorite magazine

and getting ready to nosh one of these yummy chocolate tuile sticks.

It's the perfect little tea time for one!

I did share some of my chocolate sticks in this tea time

with a friend I blogged about not too long ago.

This year I was also blessed being able to send my tea things

 to a sweet blogger, Cindy, from Consider It All Joy blog.

This is the very first swap I remembered to actually take pics

 of what I sent before I boxed everything up. I was happy I did so.

I stuck with an autumn theme for the package I joyfully sent:

Napkins, marmelaide, pumpkin candle, cookies, soap, sachet,

pumpkin decor, a handmade card and a yellow rose teacup.

I tell ya it is just as much fun picking things out

 for our swap mates than it is opening up our

 treasures from another.

I *highly* recommend doing the next swap -

it is SO much fun!

And as I have said before, the best part is making

a new friend or two.

Big thanks goes out to Stephanie who works so hard

 putting these swaps together.

She is a blessing and a dear heart,

 and is so sincerely appreciated!

Please visit her blog and check all the swaps!
