Teacup Swap

Back in March I joined Stephanie's of The Enchanted Rose 

 8th Tea Cup and Mug Exchange.

A total of 167 ladies across the world joined in the fun with parcels being sent and received. It is now time for  the big reveal and I can show you the teacup and goodies that I sent to my Partner in Tasmania Australia and the parcel I received back from Cornwall England.

This is the collection that I sent to  Kim in Tasmania . The information that I was given to work with was that Kim liked Breakfast tea , Pretty pinks, pale greens, pretty blues, mauves and loves vintage shabby chic, petty style.  No problems there then, a girl after my own heart!

Collection included , Everyday Brew tea bags enclosed

in their very own tea pot, pretty tiny rose patterned 

teacup and saucer, decoupaged teapot coaster

and a silver teaspoon.

The teapot is a template by Diane Furniss

from Craftsuprint.com. Filled with tea bags from Tea Pigs'

and tied with pink raffia .

I decoupaged  a teapot shape base using a pretty 

rose design napkin and then gave it several coats 

of  pod podge to seal and give it a lovely  matt sheen.

The card enclosed the story of the tea bags and 

provenance of the silver spoon. 

(It had a tale to tell).

Here are the goodies I received back from Dawn in Cornwall.

Collection included, Camomile tea bags ,

a lovely rose patterned teacup and saucer,

 a handmade flower brooch(which has gone straight

onto one of my floppy summer straw hats), vintage lace

and buttons, craft papers and a beautiful handmade 

necklace with a darling teacup and saucer charm on it. 

Didn't I do well!!

And lastly here is the card  and box that I  made and sent 

to Dawn to thank her for my goodies.

(I used some of the craft papers that Dawn had sent me).
