Thanks again for joining this swap for our Farmgirls who enjoy a cuppa now and then.
Let's get swapping - here are our partners:
Gail (GailMN) – Laura (LauraBell) Marie (charunga) Received – Jean (JeanP) Received Andrea (AndreaPA) Received – Vanessa (AudraRose) Received Kathy (isewbernina) – Shelly (Sassymomof2)
Please send your mailing address through e-mail rather than here. If you haven't had a chance, share your tea preferences with your partner or post the info here in our thread. Do you prefer a tea cup/saucer or a mug (and let us know if you prefer vintage or new)?
What kinds of tea do you like – hot, iced – herbal, caffeinated – any allergies or dislikes – is loose leaf tea okay or do you prefer wrapped tea bags?
Do you like treats with your tea? If so, please let us know if you have any favorites or items to avoid.
Suggestions for your package: Tea, treats, cup or mug, recipe for a sweet treat, or anything else you would like to include for your partner to have a nice relaxing tea party. Possibilities could be a pretty napkin, vase for flowers, tea bag holder, etc. Let’s make our tea time nice and have fun. It's always a treat to see what everyone receives.
Packages should be mailed out by April 22nd (a little extra time just in case due to Easter festivities).
1. Jean - JeanP 2. Vanessa - AudraRose 3. Gail - GailMN 4. Marie - charunga 5. Andrea - AndreaPA 6. Kathy - isewbernina 7. Shelly - Sassymomof2 8. Laura - LauraBell We are hoping to get our monthly tea swaps started up again – hopefully this swap will help us get back in the swing of enjoying a cup of tea between Farmgirls!

Yipee! Sign me up. I prefer loose leaf, loose leaf is the only type I purchase, I do have bags I put it in when sharing. I prefer mugs and I love spicy, warming hot teas mostly. I love chai teas and anything ginger. So exciting, thank you Laura. Would love to participate if there is someone that is ok with loose tea. Blessings and hugs!

Oh so much fun!
I prefer a tea cup/saucer,vintage or new doesn't matter. I drink hot tea, herbal (if it is mint), and de-caffeinated tea. I use loose leaf tea, but wrapped is fine
Too many allergies for treats but anything honey related is fine.
Look forward to doing these again!

I would love to be in this tea swap but I have too many things coming up I have to deal with by April 11 so hopefully can be in the next swap.
I will be watching. Sorry! Darlene

Oops, I forgot to list my preferences. I like anything except licorice. I'm not a fancy person - my favorite mug has a dachshund on it and my favorite teapot is from when we lived in Germany. I enjoy either bag or loose tea.

I thought I'd pop in and answer the questions too.
I have plenty of mugs and tea cups but I'd love cute teabag holders (the cute little dish that you put your steeped tea bag on) or fun loose tea infusers.
Teas - I mostly drink herbal teas - especially mint - other favorites are ginger peach and chai/spicy blends.
I love all things vintage :)
Hope everyone is having fun coming up with tea swapping ideas.

I would like to join.
I enjoy most kinds of tea -- the more unusual the better. My favorites are blueberry, raspberry or while tea (especially loose). I do not need a new cup -- I have two favorites and I do not need any tea toys -- I don't use them. I do like dark chocolate (less than 70%) and short bread with my tea. I take my tea with honey so honey sticks

Sign me up please. I don't need a mug or tea cup. I like any kind of tea. Loose or bagged. Of course I like a snack with my tea! Love chocolate. Please do not send peanut butter, popcorn or bananas. Nuts are fine. Love this swap idea :)

Laura, please count me. I love the tea swap. My favorite tea is peppermint iced tea which I make year round. My family loves it and I make it by the gallon almost every day. I use a thermo cup to keep it cold. I prefer bags. I would love to have treats with my tea also. Thank you for making this swap for us! Kathy Heidel

Hi everyone :)
I am super excited about our swap - we have a great group already! I will be at a quilt retreat for the next few days but will be keeping an eye on our thread. When I am home I will close our swap and get our partners posted.
Thanks everyone for joining - what fun this will be!

Happy Monday!
Just checking in on everyone - I was out and about last week at a quilt retreat and then visiting my son's future university this weekend.
I managed to get our partners posted before I left for the weekend. Hoping everyone has had time to curl up with a cup of tea and start dreaming of the fun we are going to have.
Let me know if you need anything or have any questions!
