A Tea Cup Exchange

One of the things I love about blogging is when you know that there is going to be a good exchange with other bloggers, so when I saw Stephanie's Tea Cup Exchange (My Enchanting Rose), I just had to send her an email to say 'count me in'.  I don't mind sending items overseas so I was thrilled to be given a blogger I had just started following - Kelly Anne who lives in South Africa.  We kept in touch while my package was making its very slow journey to her and there was a moment when we thought it was going to get there, but... phew!... it did!  If you go to Stephanie's blog you will hopefully see what I sent over.  However, as to the parcel that was sent to me, well, it was just divine!  Asia from Creative Spell Designs was given my name for the exchange and sent me a sweet package.  I knew from the moment I received it that it was going to be special.  So, do you want to see?


This box made my heart skip!  It encompasses everything that is me and I just can't stop looking at it.  Decorated with a pretty Union Jack, a handcrafted flower and embellishments...


Even the pins were red, white and blue...


Asia had certainly done her research on me and noticed that I seemed to miss my London a little!  Her cards are just too beautiful to use.  The detail that she has put into these was fantastic, so they will be going in a frame to keep - wouldn't you?


Even inside, the details were stunning...


The tea cup is so beautifully dainty and the colours are spot on for matching my little resting place while blogging.


And the tea, these will be very enjoyable!


Asia also made a magnificent card to introduce herself and she once again excelled in showing that she had done her research!


So, there we have it, a very enjoyable tea cup exchange, and one where the saying Keep Calm and Carry On will be on my banner and other social media headers for quite a while.  I really can't stop looking at the box!


Please go along to Stephanie's blog to see other exchanges, along with visiting the lovely Asia at Creative Spell Designs and Kelly-Anne at Beautiful Girlhood.  All of their sites are a visual delight and I know you will love them all.


Take care
