Stephanie's Tea Cup/ Mug Exchange ~

Here we are enjoying another wonderful tea party

through Stephanie's 10th Tea Cup/Mug Exchange.
As Stephanie's mother, my heart is blessed as I watch Stephanie in action
over the many hours that she pours into these exchanges.
She cares about every single lady and just who she should pair them up with.
Much time and prayer goes into these exchanges 
and the beauty and friendships that are formed over a tea cup or Mug
makes all the time invested worth it all.

Stephanie, thank you for the love, work, time and grace you put into making

our lives richer and sweeter through these exchanges.
Your beauty shines forth in every aspect of this exchange.
You are lovely, you are gracious, you are kind hearted,
and you are sweet spirited with every detail that comes up.
God's blessings be upon you. 

♡♡♡

Through each exchange God has graciously blessed me

with new friends from around the globe

and in this exchange I had the joy of gifting to Pamela who lives in Kansas.

She loves pink just as I do, so with delight,
 I enjoyed putting a package together in the pink tones. 

I look forward to connecting with Pamela and becoming friends. 

Below is a photo of the gift that I sent to Pamela.
The beautiful thank you card I received from Pamela
was filled with lovely details about herself.
While reading her card it was as if I was sitting with a dear friend over a cup of tea
and enjoying sweet fellowship around the kitchen table.

This quote certainly depicts Lisa, the lovely lady who gifted to me. 

Her package was filled with love and I could feel it from the moment

I opened up the huge box. 

It all started with this most adorable Beagle plush pillow!

This little darling was placed right on top just waiting to jump out!

When I saw that sweet face I giggled and giggled with delight,

just as I do with my precious beagle, Donatella.
My rescued beagle friend, Donatella, just warms my heart 
and Lisa was sensitive in figuring that out about me. 

Her tag read ~ Beagles are lovable, happy, easygoing and excellent companions. 

Boy, that is so true!

My tea cup is quite unique in color and beauty,
 almost matches the back side of the beagle pillow.

Its Royal Grafton Bone China from England, and quite elegant and beautiful. 

Doesn't my new tea cup just make my curio cabinet  pop?
I would have to say that she graces the curio quite beautifully. 
~ Looking at my photo I see the tea cups on the top shelf are leaning. eeks! ~

Inside this lovely floral box was delight after delight!

A pretty pink basket filled with treats of all kinds ~
Ginger cookies and melt in your mouth tea biscuits ~
Three, one serving size cake mixes, great for my husband and I ~

Tea of all flavors in adorable tins ~

A Garden plaque & Garden magazine ~

 

Lisa certainly took the time to know a little about me and it showed
as she graciously poured her love into sharing this beautiful gift with me. 
Thank you Lisa, for your most thoughtful and loving heart.
 God bless you!

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unreachable.
 (Psalm 145:3)

Be Gracious!
