Participating is Fun Part 2:






The lovely Stephanie from The Enchanting Rose 
hosted her Ninth annual teacup and mug exchange.
There were 192 tea lovers participating from all over the world.
What a lot of work and
What a lot of Love Stephanie puts into this exchange.

I decided to go all out and take part in both exchanges.


I was lucky that Jill Torres, also a "first timer", sent me a mug.
Hard to believe all of this was in one box!
Everything was so beautifully wrapped.
A lot of effort went into the paper decorations.
Almost too pretty to open! 


Tea Mug Exchange


Jill even included mice and cat nip for my kitties.
So very thoughtful.

I began to unwrap all the goodies.
It quickly became apparent that this was going to be a magical,
fun tea!


Jill is from Florida and she enclosed some Florida goodies.


Mug Exchange


A wonderful Florida souvenir spoon with a pelican.
(The pelican just happens to be one of my favorite water birds.)
Postcards with recipes.
Florida wouldn't be complete without a mention of Ernest Hemingway --
with Highland Select Tea --
"Infused with the author's spirit and passion for life."




Wonderland Tea

More magic with Alice In Wonderland!
Fun mug -- drink me!
Wonderland Tea - The Official Unbirthday Tea called
Topsy Turvy Tea Blend. 
I'm going to fall head over heels for this tea.
Black tea with a delicious citrus and fruity flavor.

And a wonderful book filled with Wonderland ephemera.
It's been so much fun going through it all and I find things
I think I didn't see before.



Wonderland Tea


The precious little bird frame was another little surprise.



Wonderland Tea Mosaic



Wonderland Tea

I got out my Alice In Wonderland Tea for One Teapot.
I'm all set now to have a cup of tea and open the Ginger Nuts.



Last, but not least, Jill included these beautiful white on white hand made cards.


Paper Card Art

They are so gorgeous.
I think I'm going to keep them and frame them.

What fun this has been!

I'd like to thank Stephanie again
and special thanks to the talented Jill Torres for sending such a magical tea.

Wishing YOU well and much joy!


The Enchanting Rose

That is one amazing mug! I love it :) The book looks beautiful as well, and I wonder if this was a set (the mug & book together). You have a very cute Alice teapot too! How special.

Angela said...

It was sweet of her to include something for the cats! Very useful gifts and pretty too. Everything was picked with care and packed with love.

Steph said...

So fun! Glad that you participated!

When I was recently in Japan, I learned that everything comes beautifully wrapped! It's not my strong suit, but I hope to get better. I also really appreciate their return to wrapping in furoshiki, reusable cloth.
