Teacup Tales

Hello Tea Friends, I have been so excited to share this post with you. For the third time, I participated in sweet Stephanie's teacup exchange through her blog  The Enchanting Rose . Once again I'm overwhelmed with the creativity and generosity of my exchange partner. Sandy of  Simply Sandy  certainly spoiled me. Please, come take a look. Even with Hurricane Matthew raging, Sandy delivered an amazing assortment of tea related treasures.  She expertly managed to place all of the items in this pretty fall themed box~ a perfect storage for fall themed teacups. Orange is my favorite color and Sandy gifted me with a set of these pretty orange/white napkins which will be used for afternoon tea. So dainty! I love them. When I'm out at a restaurant and forget my tea, I always regret it. The selection is always so limited. Now I have this wonderful teabag holder from Stephanie's Etsy Shop  to hold my favorite teas.

Hello Tea Friends, One of the highlights since entering the blog world is participating in fellow blogger Stephanie's teacup exchange at  The Enchanting Rose . Stephanie hosts this exchange twice a year and this was my second time participating.

I am thrilled to have a pair! They are actually my first pair of matching teacups. ...

This was my first time participating and I chose to exchange a teacup. Stephanie played matchmaker and each participant was given the address of our match and some basic likes of our "soon to be new friend."  I had the honor of sending a package to Lynn who has an amazing blog,  Quaker Hill Farm . Because of this exchange, I discovered her blog which features her beautiful home in Indiana and her talented crafts. Check out her pretty painted pumpkin post! I feel blessed to have made a new friend. I have been so eager to share about the package I received a couple of weeks ago! After opening a nicely decorated large box, I discovered that Stephanie herself  sent the package! I feel as if I won the jackpot of teacup exchanges as Stephanie certainly spoiled me with many one of a kind items. Come take a look an...
