Thank you so much Stephanie for organizing this fun event where many blogging friends are created through the exchange of a teacup or mug. There is so much work involved to make this happen, and I really appreciate all that you have done with pairing us up and keeping everyone happy and informed.
I didn't know who was sending my own teacup until the day it arrived all the way from ... the Yukon!! How exciting it was to see the address on the box when I picked it up! Jennifer was my partner here, and she blogs at My Cubby Crafts. I really hope you visit Jennifer's blog as she shares lots of interesting things happening in her life in the far north. I've been enjoying reading back through her posts to get to know her better.
The teacup Jennifer sent is just perfect for me. A lovely chocolate brown with a simple pattern on the side. I've been using it quite a bit! It's such a nice big teacup and the saucer is roomy enough for a cookie to sit on the side. I have a couple of "Brown Betty" teapots, and this teacup looks great with them. Jennifer crocheted a couple of doilies for me as well. One is shown under the teacup below.

... and this is the other doily ...
The blue and brown look so nice together :)
The card enclosed was made by Jennifer herself, and it's just so pretty!
Tiny crocheted flowers, pretty lace and lovely distressed paper with birds on it.
There were some chocolate fingers added, and they went so well with my Earl Grey tea!

| yummy! |
The tea came in this sweet foxy tin.
I've enjoyed everything that Jennifer packaged up for me. Thank you so much again Jennifer for your thoughtfulness and care in these beautiful gifts. It's really nice to have met Jennifer now through our blogs, and we seem to have a lot in common.

| see the tiny fox paw print on the lid ;) |
I received word that Kelly at Homespuns ' n Hayfields would be the person receiving a teacup from me. I have known Kelly through our blogs for a little while now. Here are a few collages of what I sent to Kelly.
 |
| I embroidered Kelly's blog name onto a piece of muslin set in an embroidery hoop. I added some country flowers & buttons. |
 |
| purchased tea towels with a cotton dishcloth I knit up |
 |
| The tiny birdie creamer fit perfectly into a bunny box |
 |
| the teacup fit perfectly inside this bright yellow gift box |
 |
| I knit up a "coffee cozy" for take-out coffee/tea |
 |
| Kelly collects Ironstone, and I saw this gorgeous pitcher when shopping for her teacup. I scooped it up without a second thought ;) |
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

oh Wendy, what a pretty teacup, and yes, I love the shape, that you received from Jennifer. Aren't the doilies so dainty and pretty? I know you're enjoying all the other gifts as well. Did you knit the tea cozy for your Brown Betty teapot?
ReplyDeleteThe teacup and gifts that you sent Kelly are so lovely, too. What fun it is to meet new friends through Stephanie's teacup/mug ministry.
Sweet gifts.
ReplyDeleteQuite a gift!
ReplyDeleteYou received some wonderful gifts Wendy. It's terrific that the tea cup goes so well with your tea pot. It was meant to be. The crocheted doilies are beautiful.

What a lovely mug and those doilies are so pretty and go so well with it. You sent a nice package out to Kelly as well.
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy...you received some lovely gifts and I love your new teacup and saucer. The doilies are so pretty too. Thank you for your lovely comments over on my blog...I'm sure there'll be quite a few photos to share...Debbie x
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I thought when I saw your new teacup was its close association to a brown betty teapot and it looks awesome together with yours. The doilies and other goodies are lovely too.
ReplyDeleteIt's exciting that we've both made a new friend in Jennifer - me sending to her, and you receiving from our fellow Canadian blogger. Kelly's parcel from you was very nice in her favourite yellow theme.
What fun Wendy! I love everything you received from the exchange. Enjoy! :0)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to receive such lovely things Wendy, I love the tea cup and saucer it's so unusual. Kelly is going to love her gifts they are beautuiful. :) x
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool that your package came from the Yukon! Jennifer picked the perfect teacup for you--the set is just your style! I really like its generous capacity and sturdiness. I'm also admiring the cheery package that you sent to Kelly (who sent me a teacup in 2015). What a fun way to get to know one of our group members better!
ReplyDeleteStephanie does a wonderful job in organising these tea exchanges.
ReplyDeleteI do not participate, but always enjoy seeing the many blogs who display the selection of gifts sent and received.
A wonderful post, the items look brilliant.
All the best Jan
I really love the color of the tea cup you received, and the doilies! :) Your outgoing package was just as wonderful. :)
ReplyDeleteI truly enjoyed getting to see what you received ! Everything was beautiful! This exchange has been so much fun and blessing ! Hope you have a blessed week!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to make a new friend from the Yukon, and what a beautiful package of goodies she sent you! I know Kelly will LOVE what you have sent to her too. She is a precious lady I've been blessed to get to know. Hugs to you today!
