And here is my haul! Sarah was so generous :).
Really, I had to run back in side and get a table cloth to make the pictures a little fancier. The pictures are a bit dark because it was already dusk...but I couldn't wait to open everything! One of my favorite colors is purple, so there was a purple theme to the whole box.
And the labels! Every gift had a little tag that gave some clue as to the gift. Each was based on one of my favorite things that I listed for the exchange! Such a cool idea!
And of course, the teacup! This is a light purple cup with violets by Colclough china, and is English bone china.
In addition to TWO kinds of stirrers for tea, the next gift was...
Perfect with a cup of tea.
A purple doily.
A gold teaspoon,
A bookmark,
And the last box, "for your love of travel" a whole assortment of teas based on different cities/countries! So cool!
I have so many ideas for the blog based on this collection of teas! I actually haven't brought myself to open it yet it's so cool looking!
Thanks so much Sarah!!!
And here is a sneak peak of the package I sent to Sharon at Tales from Twisty Lane.
What wonderful goodies! Love it! This exchange has been so much fun. Hugs and blessings, Cindy

Oh Carrie, I am speechless right now....what beauty, what love, what joy has been packaed into both packages!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, isn't Sarah amazing? She was the lovely lady who sent me my mug package. When I opened the box I was greeted with pink beauty. I knew right then I was in for a wonderful surprise. The goodies she wrapped up for you brought a smile to my face. She certainly went the extra mile.
And oh, the treasures you sent to Sharon are just as delightful, my dear. You have a beautiful and kind heart.

The exchange is so much fun! Exciting to see the teacups and mugs everyone received ... each so different! Making new friends is a real treat, too. I loved everything in my spring tea box. From the iced fortune cookie to the kitty cross stitch, assortment of teas ... I could go on and on ... and the beautiful tea cup. I still don't know how you got it all in that little box!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
