Tea Cup Exchange with NEW Friends

A little while back I found a blog about tea and other items of Friendship.
www.theenchantingrose.blogspot.com/p/tea-cup-exchange.html
Please visit Stephanie at the link above.

If we chose to be apart of this exchange, we were to send a tea cup to the person who's
name we were given and send some others items that a tea lover would enjoy.
We had to send the tea cup out within a week, I can't make anything in a week to send with
the tea cup, I will have to post what I am sending her when I am done, I just went today to find the
fabric to make it, while I'm still working on a grandchild quilt and a few other things,
you should see my list of  WIP's, I'm working on.
I sent my tea cup without taking a picture of it first, (when will I ever remember to take pictures of everything, no matter what I doing with it).
But, I did send the history of my tea cup with it, where it came from and why it was
used, where it was used and for what reason.
My new friend is not far from where I live in south Florida, she lives in Miami.  I have not heard back from her yet.  

Here is my tea cup, I received from my new friend in Anchorage, AK

Thank You Dolores
I love and collect tea cups with roses and love Lavender.
I can't wait till I sit down and enjoy a cup of tea from your cup.
May I add, I have never used tea that was not in a bag, so I will now have to learn how to
use a  diffuser.  I have wanted to and now I have no reason not to.

Also, Dolores wrote a sweet note with her package at the end she wrote,
Numbers 6:24-26
It reads:
"The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you.
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance (favor) upon you,
And give you peace.

Till next I see you, remember the verse
above.

    I too joined my daughters exchange and just received my lovely package a couple of days ago, all the way from Italy! I am looking forward to posting my precious gifts.
    Sweet blessings to you.
    Joy! Debbie

  2. Hi RoseMary,

    Oh what delightful items from Dolores! The tea cup is very pretty - although it has roses on it so of course I would think it's lovely :) I'm so glad you joined the exchange and I look forward to having you link-up on my blog next week.

    Hugs and blessings to you!

  4. What a great swap idea - very very lovely! My grandma had a huge collection of teacups, so I think I must have gotten my "tea" gene from her.

  6. Such a beautiful tea cup! And sweet goodies to go with it. Love the lavender sachet :0)

    My daughter tells me that once you start diffusing your own tea, you won't want it any other way. I hope you enjoy the experience!

  11. Hello Rosemary

    What a divine cup you received from Dolores - you must be "over the moon" I know I would be!
    The extras she included in her parcel are gorgeous too.
    Those chocolate twirls are one of my favourite biscuits to enjoy with tea and coffee!
    Love the little lavender bag she included and the lavender body lotion - how thoughtful of Dolores!

    It's so nice to meet you as part of this swap.

    Wishing you a very happy weekend - sipping tea!
    Shane
