.JPG) )I am thinking of doing this swap again when the time comes around again. I did it twice, and it was wonderful. This is the swap I am going to host in the near future.
You are cordially invited to partake in a "Tea & Crumpets Swap" I have recently had 3 of my 11 grandchildren living with me, and we have had so much fun that I wanted to continue it after they leave this weekend. We have practiced manners, ate crumpets, had many flavors of tea and honey, and even a few celebrities came to join our fun. (Our neighbor, we cosider her the Queen), and a very famous rabbit, and Raggedy Ann. Sign ups will end April 15, and partners will be posted by April 17,mail outs by April 24th. Just be considerate of your farmgirl sister. The only thing I ask is that it does contain at least 4 different tea's, a handwritten card, and at least two other goodies. A few suggestions -a beautifull tea cup and saucer (new or vintage), flavored honey or sugar, a fun vintage hat or gloves, some crumpets or snacks.tea towels,tea cozy, chocolate, be creative. I love vintage old things and incorporate them in my tea partie place setting.Use your imagination. Above all have fun. I hope to do more o
f this one if it goes well. If you have any questions just email me.Ladies please make sure you can make the time frames so that everyone gets their packages on time. I so appreciate that.

I too am sorry this was before my time here. I absolutely adore tea and all the fun things that go along with it. So beautiful!

I am sorry I missed this swap! It must have been fun! We had tea parties almost every afternoon when the grand daughters were young. They loved peach tea. I even found them some small tea cups and a small tea pot at a local shop. I introduced them to sugar cubes, trying to limit their sugar intake. My son is 6'5" tall and he was invited to join one afternoon. He would pop in to see them, when they were working nearby. Of course he did not fit under their tiny table so he looked a bit funny, legs stretched out, sipping peach tea. Sweet granny memories.

Marcy, I did finally get to look in my box ( on the 30th, I loved it!) The fairy door and bird house will be on the porch for me to enjoy as I sip my tea with the wonderful chocolate you sent. The magazines are beautiful and my daughter and I have been passing them back and forth as we both love everything country. The to do list has already been put to use, much to the groans of my family , organization helps so well. Thank you again for being my swap partner.

Jami, I was on a road trip with my daughter for a week and just got back. Your package came the same day I left. I just got it last night.
Thank You! I love the cup and saucer. They are perfect. The teas are different from any I have and I can't wait to try them. The problem will be which one to try first. lol I like Jordan Almonds and haven't had them for a long time. The pink tablecloth is lovely. I like your use of a lace tablecloth on the top. Think I will do that also. The cookie cutters are also so pretty I just may have to hang them up to look at. Thank You again for the lovely package. I have really enjoyed these Tea Party Swaps. BTW I couldn't get my phone to send out emails while I was gone.
Farm Girl Hugs,
Brenda

Cecily,
YAY! I am so happy you like everything! I really had a wonderful time putting that all together for you! I went on a quest to find something that little boys would like, so I am just so thrilled that they like the lizard toys! The tea cup and saucer, I just fell in love with those and knew that they were perfect to send in this swap, I am so happy you like it all. :) The little succulent will spread if you plant it outside, we have a bunch growing outside here and just love them. So glad it arrived OK.
This is a photo of the wonderful things that Cecily sent me:
.JPG) Thank you again!!! I have been drinking tea in my beautiful cup (I also adore the tin you sent me, great minds think alike) every day,

SARAH, I received my box today and I was just like a little girl on Christmas morning!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE everything you sent! The tea cup is exactly something I would have picked out for myself...it actually pairs very well with a cream and sugar set that I already have. I absolutely adore the hand-painted cream and sugar set with your state flower on it. The lizards were SUCH a thoughtful touch! My boys were SO excited about them and the hot chocolate!! You are so sweet to have thought of my boys...they say to tell you 'Thank You VERY much!' I LOVE the teas and the tin you sent them in, all the little details such as the recipes, flowers, all the origami and basket paper art!!! The little note pads and file. OH! And the lovely succulent!!! It is perfect and such a sweet addition! I will try to post a picture on here tomorrow. I loved the card you sent! It is always so nice to read about fellow farmgirl sisters and get to know more about each other. Thank you so so so much!

Brenda,
I got your wonderful package in today's mail. Thank you so very much ! I loved the card you sent and the fact ya gave info on yourself !!! The tea cup was so precious and dainty. I collect tea cups and it's the only one of its kind for me. I dream of the day I will be able to hand down my cups to my new granddaughter. I think this one will be thee first I let her use as well :-) I loved the vintage linens....especially the embroidered one as I LOVE embroidered items :-) Thanks so much again for a lovely gift box. I havent decided whether to put the handmade country heart in my truck on the rearview mirror or leave it hanging on my fireplace mantle............I smile everytime I look at it and think of you and our Farmgirl Sisterhood !!! Take care and God Bless.
Let me know when your's arrives.

Hi girls!! Sorry I have not been on sooner! I got the most AMAZING box from Judy! My kids devoured the crackers, right away. lol! I don't buy that sort of thing, so they were excited! So many goodies tucked in!!! But my favorite, by far, was a lovely vintage teacup and saucer. I just started picking up occasional vintage pieces, going for a mis-matched look, and had been watching for a set. THANK YOU!!!! My kids want to have a teaparty now! So next week (I homeschool) we will work on PreK things with the boys about Teaparties, my oldest will help prepare, for Home Ec, and we are going to have a Mommy and Me tea!!!

I made a trip to the post office, they close at 12, and I made it at 11. The box is on the counter, I want to be able to enjoy it, so I plan on opening it as soon as I can with a cup of tea. I am sure I will love it.
Thank you
Danyel
I will post as soon as I have time to open and enjoy.

Hi Danyel,
I did get the box. I sent you an email but I haven't had time to post on here. Thank you so much. The box itself is so beautiful. I can never have enough boxes!! I do many crafts and they are great to keep supplies in. I haven't tried the tea yet but OH MY GOODNESS does it smell amazing!! I love the book you made me, the magazine is so inspiring and the tea cups are so very pretty. I am a fanatic about anything to do with English history and they were both made in England so how perfect is that?
I sent your box out to you on Monday. I was looking for one more thing to send to you and I found it. You should be getting your box either today or Thursday. I so hope that you like your goodies.
Thanks for being such a wonderful swap partner
hugs
Marcy
I just checked the tracking number and it says that it was delivered this monring. I so hope that you like everything.

Tiana - I received the package, not sure when as I was out of town for several days visiting my grandmother....I don't know where to begin listing out the wonderful package that I received. A very sweet tea cup and snack tray, Love it......tea towel, 5 or 6 different tea (can't wait to try one this evening after work), sugar cubes, cinnimon sticks, and the list goes on. Thank you so much for the wonderful swap items. It really brightened my day after a long drive home in the car.
Blessings,
Kristi

Cecily,
Everything arrived in perfect condition and I love the cup and saucer. I did take photos and will try and post tonight. My brother was visiting this weekend and I didn't get a chance to get online and post the photo and of course didn't think to bring my camera with me to post on my lunch break!
Thanks for checking on the tea for me and sharing some of what you had with me. I would love to know where to get it. I found it online but only on two sites one only ships to Indiana and the other to New York - none to Colorado. :(
Hope you're having a great day!
<3
