Joining The Enchanting Rose for the Tea Cup Exchange

12th Tea Cup & Mug Exchange
This past month of April has been devoted to the 12th Tea Cup Exchange  held by Stephanie, at The Enchanting Rose.  I  had not done a Tea Cup Exchange for a few years, and felt that it was something I definitely  wanted to get back into...what a  great way to be introduced to  women from  all around the world  who  really are  kindred spirits, women who enjoy the graciousness of taking of tea together!... I was  gone for the most part of  this past month so I really had only  a week to  get myself  in gear to  find and  present my  gift to a    new friend who actually lives in my own state...  That  was  a  special  thing, indeed, although she doesn't blog, yet, she  enjoys  visiting others' blogs and I hope that she will  visit my blog often now that we've been introduced. 

Today I picked up my mail at the post office and found an exciting package awaiting me.As the layers of packing  pealed away,  it became ever more  intriguing and  inspiring!!!
 A gorgeous hand crafted  card introduced me to my new Kindred Spirit,  Judith Rogers of Lavendar Cottage in Ontario, Canada.
Such a  delicately lovely card,  I could tell right away that  I truly was about to  reveal  something  marvelous and  heavenly! 
 Each subsequent  layer was  meticulously  wrapped and presented!!!
 A hand made box   held  some  perfect  chocolate morsels...
This lovely Guardian Book mark will travel with me  at all times!!! 
AH!!  I had requested a blue  tea cup and this marvel  was  unwrapped... As you can see it perfectly matches my table cloth!!!!
What a treasure!!! 
Judith had taken the time to  go through her private stash of  teas to  find some that I  told her I preferred.. Assam, if   it was available..  She    found some in her own    cupboard!!! 

A wonderful Tea Time Coloring book,  the latest  edition of Victoria  Magazine and  some delish Walker's  Shortbread   completed the  surprises  uncovered in  my  lovely  box! 
My senses are still reeling with sublime joy   of the beauty  and  generosity of  my tea cup partner!...
