Wonderful Gifts from Oz

Last month, I received a surprise package from Lyn,  my teacup swap partner last spring.

Lyn sent me these delightful souvenirs from her country. 
How cute are these koala socks and stationery?

I also love this kool kangaroo tea towel.

Lyn also generously included these teas and dark chocolate ginger (you know me so well!).

Steeping the Australian Eucalyptus & Black Tea.

The eucalyptus tea had an interesting woodsy taste!
According to the tea seller, The Spice Grinder,  this "uniquely Australian bush flavour [is] perfect for your sinuses." It looks like this will be my go-to tea during allergy season!

Thank you for the wonderful package, Lyn!

This week's holiday tea: Celestial Seasonings' Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Herbal Tea.


I'm joining the following parties this week:

    This is such a cool exchange. Eucalyptus is my new favourite essential oil...I just got a lip balm with it!

    Hi Margie, I'm a little slow,in getting to visit. I'm in Ohio visiting my mom and sister for our Thanksgiving. How nice that you received such a nice surprise package with such thoughtful gifts. How do you like your sugar cookie sleigh ride tea?

    Those koala socks are so cute, Margie! The Eucalyptus tea sounds interesting! I love the scent of eucalyptus and I always used to have bouquets of it in my home. What a wonderful friend you have to remember you in this way! A very thoughtful and fun package. Waiting to see your teacup tree. :-)

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    I'm so pleased that you liked the parcel. I enjoyed putting it together for you. I wasn't sure what the eucalyptus tea would be like, it's very Australian with all our native gum trees down under. Lyn
