Thank you, Stephanie, for hosting such a fun exchange. 212 participants - that's amazing!
I received my tea cup and extra goodies from the lovely Barbara over at Lady B's Time for Tea. Barbara hasn't been posting recently as she is writing a book about afternoon tea but I loved reading her past posts about her visit to England and seeing pictures of all of her lovely china. Barbara sent me the most amazing package, geared to my loves of England, tea, and royalty.
A beautiful cup and saucer to commemorate the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981, a lovely footed tea strainer, two cute pins (you can just make out the US/UK flags on the left side of the strainer and the crown is easier to see on the right side), and a lovely small plate to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977. Thank you so much, Barbara, everything is wonderful!
My package went off to the lovely Kris from Lavender Quilts and Other Fineries. I won't post the details yet; I'll let her share with you first.
What a wonderful exchange - there will be lots of fun goodies in the reveal post (coming at 7:00am Mountain Time today) so I encourage you to check it out - there will be a link if you'd like to join us next time.
Oh what a treasure you received! How unique and lovely :-) Stephanie is such a sweetheart arranging all of this. This is my first time participating and I loved it. Thank you for sharing, have a wonderful day!
