Special Tea Tuesday

I have a lot to share with you today

Judy of Apron Strings blog recently organized a tea cup swap… thanks again Judy!

Kimmie and I ended up being swap partners … it was a surprise up until the package arrived at my door

this beautiful and colorful fine bone English china cup and saucer (everything tastes better in a pretty cup) traveled all the way from the west coast

along with so many special goodies wrapped in pretty lavender tissue paper … an altered puzzle piece with a polished sea glass bird wing … a piece of Zentangled seashell … precious pictures from a special children’s book … a beautiful smooth rock artfully decorated by Kimmie and more

the fortune says: “You will be fortunate in everything you put your hands to” = Love that!!!

exotic teas … Dragon Pearls … how magical … can’t wait to try a cup

the final bit of treasure has created a bit of a stir … a wee personalized matchbox filled to the brim with tiny bits of this and that … be sure and visit Kimmie at her Art in Red Wagons to see exactly what she tucked into what she calls a mini junk drawer

there is even a German Pfennig

inspired by a flickr pool called The International Championship League of Matchbox Stuffers … always amazing what people come up with

Pat McNally got inspired and got busy creating her own stuffed matchbox and I WON it as a prize … lucky me!!!

if you like the idea of stuffing tiny treasures into a matchbox why not join Pat of Artfully Ooglebloops for a Matchbox Swap … you would only have to make one … if you can stop at one
