This is the 3rd Teacup Exchange I have participated in at The Enchanting Rose and as usual, it was fantastic! Stephanie does an amazing job organizing this and I have always been so lucky to receive wonderful packages in the mail.
Esther sent me a beautiful box of goodness with this Vintage Snack Tea Set. The pretty aqua background is accented by purple violets and little splashes of gold. I do not have a snack set like this and I love the shell shape of the plate.
She also included a ruffled baking dish in my favorite color, tea, cocoa, chocolates, mini whisks and a sweet notebook. Everything was wrapped in pastel colored tissue paper and it was so fun to unwrap it all.
The markings on the bottom of the plate and cup helped in finding out more information about my newest tea set.
My collection is growing and growing and I think it's time to figure out a new way to display all of my lovely tea sets.
I had some fun taking photos of my new tea set. Here it is with a little birds nest and eggs in it. Perfect for spring!
All decked out in pretty pearls.
And sitting on a luscious bed of hydrangeas. I had a lot of fun playing and finding ways to show off my beautiful new tea set.
I sent a package to Jennifer. who I just found out is one of the bad apples that doesn't play by the rules. She didn't send a package but gladly received one. It makes me sad that I gave her this and she didn't return the favor to someone else. She also hasn't communicated with Stephanie or me. I love the vintage looking roses on the tea set I sent her. I also sent some tea, a vintage doily, some lights, washi tape and a sparkly letter J.
A big thanks to Stephanie for another awesome tea cup exchange and to Esther for all of my goodies!

I 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!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing and lovely package you received from Shelly! I just love the snack tea set, it is a beauty! I like how you staged all the pictures with it too, the pearls and hydrangeas are really a nice touch! So sad that the lady you sent your package too received, but did not give in return! That is really so very sad! Enjoy all the lovely goodies you received, it truly is a very special event!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that everything worked out for you. It's very sad that you didn't receive any appreciation for your lovely package you sent.
ReplyDeleteI think these swaps are such fun and Stephanie is a sweetheart for working so much to bring such joy to each of us.
I think your snack set is awesome - I love them and use mine all the time. It's easier to walk to where I am going to sip opening a door or carrying a book with the teacup and plate in one hand. You may find yourself using it a lot - and I know it will make you smile every time. : - )
