Tea Cup Exchange

Stephanie had a lovely idea to host a Tea Cup Exchange and I decided to participate. Though I've been blogging for some time now, it was a first for tossing my cap into an exchange. What fun it was! 

My tea cup soon arrived from Gina of Sweetbriar Cottage along with a sweet friendship note and extras.

The package was so sweetly decorated that I turned it right around and used it to send along a tea cup to my recipient. Recycling at its best and, yes, I am a titch lazy.

The day was so gloriously perfect yesterday that I took my book and tea cup to the deck where the light was good and where I finished the last few pages of my reading. Now this is a generously sized tea cup...lots of room for extra tea.

Thank you, Gina. It's a beauty! And thank you for the sweet extras. 

Thanks, too, to Stephanie for organizing the whole thing. ☺♥☺

Edited to Add: To see what other gals received, follow along at *Tea Cup Reveal.*

I was glad for the roses on my tea cup because the only thing blooming out on the deck otherwise is the pot of Kalanchoe. Even the dahlias are waterlogged.

As promised, a couple more photos of our Sunday drive. (Am I giving it away yet that I'm trying to load up for the Note Card Party on the 21st? I think I'll piggyback on Donna's idea and do water for August. I have so many photos...over 300! And they are not all going to waste. Ha! Besides, Donna would not like to wade through all that water for her challenge.)

~too pedestrian; I'm not using it. ☺ ~

Would you ever participate in an exchange? Have you? What was exchanged? (Blogdom is always a delightful exchange of ideas, that's for certain.)

Happy Tuesday to you!
