You are cordially invited to partake in a "Tea & Crumpets Swap" I have recently had 3 of my 11 grandchildren living with me, and we have had so much fun that I wanted to continue it after they leave this weekend. We have practiced manners, ate crumpets, had many flavors of tea and honey, and even a few celebrities came to join our fun. (Our neighbor, we cosider her the Queen), and a very famous rabbit, and Raggedy Ann. Sign ups will end April 15, and partners will be posted by April 17. Just be considerate of your farmgirl sister. The only thing I ask is that it does contain at least 4 different tea's, a handwritten card, and at least two other goodies. A few suggestions -a beautifull tea cup and saucer (new or vintage), flavored honey or sugar, a fun vintage hat or gloves, some crumpets or snacks. I love vintage old things and incorporate them in my tea parties.Use your imagination. Above all have fun. I hope to do more o
f this one if it goes well. If you have any questions just email me.Ladies please make sure you can make the time frames so that everyone gets their packages on time. I so appreciate that.

I feel like the White Rabbit-I am so late in posting! I do hope this photo shows well-Pinkfarmgirl outdid herself, and Tiana could not have picked a better match! Not only are we both easily distracted by pink, have crazy-hectic lives these days, we both love mint/chocolate!

Ruth,
As you said this was a great swap! Kim sent me some beautiful things! Tiana is so happy with how well everything went. So sorry she had to cancel her Picnic Basket Swap. I too would like to thank our military present and past who has gave their all for our country. I am a very proud daughter of a WWII Veteran. Even though my father has been with the Lord now almost 11 years he was always so proud to have served this great country we live in! As you so beautifully said...God Bless The USA!!!
Hugs!

Hey Sherry, I am so sorry you have been sick, hope you are all better now ! I am really glad you like your things. Yea my Daughter is the same way. Oh you should have posted a picture of you wearing the hat and gloves, that would have been great.  I can just picture you and your Granddaughter having a tea party and making sweet memories. This has been so much fun ! I hope the rest of this month is great for you too! Thanks again!

Sandy I have received your package and was so excited when I opened it. My 23 year old daughter always likes to see what I get and she just happen to be here when I opened it. We love the hat and gloves. She had me put them on right away. I've never had a hat like that before or gloves. You have made me feel so special. Love love love the teapot, the tea and well the cookies, glad you can't see that half of them or already gone. Sorry for the lateness I had a nephew graduating last week so I was out of town for about 4 days and then came back to town with a bad cold. Did not get off the couch for 2 days. But the tea and cookies helped alot. Have been wanting to try the cookies. Thank you for all my goodies. Will keep the hat and gloves in a very special place, and just get them out for our tea parties that I hope to have with my grandaughter one day. She is two now. Again thank you so much. Have a wonderful rest of the month.
Farmgirl Hugs & May all your Wishes come true.
Sherry

Dear Julie, I'm so sorry the tea cup didn't make it :(. Maybe you can use the saucer to make some "yard art"?
I really enjoyed this swap with you.
