I've had the privilege of participating in the last 3 teacup exchanges hosted by Stephanie from
The Enchanting Rose. It's always fun to meet other teacup lovers from around the world!
For this exchange, I sent a teacup across the border to Lynn who lives in Illinois. I may have gone a little tape happy with her package (who wouldn't with super cute tape?)!
Lynn does not have a blog so I am sharing photos of what I included in her package: a teacup, a teabag holder, rubber duck tea infuser, tea samples, a tea towel, note cards, and Canadian chocolates.
I gave Lynn this Royal Vale teacup which came from my own collection. After much consideration (it's always hard to part with one of my tea pretties!) I selected this teacup because of its cheery yellow flowers.
Lynn sent me this cute card and a lovely letter to express her heartfelt thanks for the package.
I was excited to find out that Nancy sent me a teacup all the way from South Africa! The estimated delivery time for international surface mail was 3 months...
...but it actually arrived on Monday! The philatelist in me is geeking out over the cool South African postage stamps!
Charlotte Brontë would have approved of the teacup's pretty (and careful) packaging!
Nancy sent me these adorable goodies in my favourite colour.
I love the teacup's simple but elegant fleur de lys design.
Many thanks for the fun parcel, Nancy!
As a throwback to past exchanges, I'm also sharing what I received from last year's teacup swaps.
For my first teacup exchange in March 2014, I received this pretty rose-themed package from Sandra from
Ravenhill Cottage who also resides in southern Ontario.
This vintage teacup decorated with beautiful roses came from Sandra's own collection and is called "Old Chelsea" by Johnson Bros. Thank you for the lovely gifts, Sandra!
In October 2014, I participated in my second teacup exchange and received this crafty package from Nicole, a fellow Canuck from Alberta.
I've always admired other bloggers' lustrewares so I was delighted to receive this gorgeous teacup by Castle China--my first "Made in Japan" teacup. Thank you for the wonderful package, Nicole!
Last, but certainly not the least, I am extremely grateful to Stephanie, organizer extraordinaire, for all the time and efforts she put into running such well-organized and fun teacup exchanges. You can learn more about the past teacup swaps

I look forward to the next exchange in the fall!
I'm joining the following parties this week:
