2016 Fall Teacup Exchange

The Enchanting Rose's biannual teacup exchanges are always rewarding experiences. A huge THANK YOU goes out to our amazing hostess, Stephanie, for working so hard to ensure that the 9th teacup and mug exchange ran smoothly for the 192 participants. 

I sent this Queen Anne teacup from my collection to Tammy in Wisconsin. 
Tammy doesn't have a blog so I'm sharing what I sent her here.

I rescued "Little Orphan Annie" a few years ago and thought that Tammy would give her a good home. I was glad that she didn't mind that it was a mismatched cup and saucer!

I was thrilled to receive this Hammersley beauty from Patti in Illinois.
I love the teacup's yellow trim, scalloped edges and dainty floral design!

Patti thoughtfully included these yummy teas and wafer rolls in my package. How cute is this tea towel? 

 
I also received this pretty lustreware dish in my favourite colours, as well as stickers and a bookmark.

Thank you, Patti, for the wonderful package!

  3. Patti sent you a gorgeous teacup and goodies, she obviously knew how much you like stickers. ;-) When I saw the card, it reminded me I have one from a few years ago with her handiwork. (an ATAA exchange)

  4. Oh Margie, I don't know what's better, the giving or the receiving part of this exchange. You sent such a lovely package to Tammy and received such a beautiful package and teacup from Patti. Our sweet hostess sure makes this world a kinder, gentler place, all through her dear mission of a teacup/mug exchange.
    P. S. That tea towel is so perfect!

  14. Hi Margie! Your new teacup for the "exchange collection" is lovely! I like how each of them are different shapes, and your new Hammersley is continues that trend ;). Pretty dish too with the purple flowers and that tea towel is great. I noticed they included a pumpkin tea in there for you ;). You gifted quite the collection of goodies too! I'm glad Orphan Annie went to a good home.

  15. Good evening, my faithful exchange participant {{smiles}} You know, the exchange would not be the same without you. First of all, I loved seeing all six of your tea cups. Each one is beautiful.

    The tea cup from Patti is a real beauty and the extra gifts she included are simply lovely. Patti is also a faithful participant and I have come to know her through emails...isn't she precious.

    Hugs to you, my friend.
