A Beautiful Gift for a Tea Lover

Hello everyone,

     It was a lovely day here made even lovelier for me by a very kind and generous reader Lauriane  from Brazil who sent me a beautiful gift-well several gifts really. 

Lauriane sent me this beautiful handmade shoulder bag specially made to match the colors she knows I love.

These beautiful tulips are grown here locally by Vanco and I look forward every winter to their arrival in the grocery stores.

Here is a peek at the beautiful place mats also  from Lauriane. I love the little tea cup hand stitched on them and they are a pretty shade of pink.

And this lovely pink victorian toile make up bag was also in my parcel.

When I opened my parcel I was so excited I had to have a tea party!

Can you see how pretty the pink placemats are with my pink dishes.

A close look at the shoulder bag-I love the lace heart.

And even a cute little teacup that belonged to Laurieane's grandmother was included.

and wonderfully scented soap!

Can you believe it,there was more- a beautiful tea themed hand painted wooden tea chest! .

It didn't take this tea lover long to fill it up with my herbal teas-it is perfect!

Why don't we have a cup of tea? I think I will have peppermint-what about you?

Love these glasses from Homesense.

Well it was a great day for me and to top it off my thoughtful sister sent me a new Tea Time magazine and to think all my brother got in the mail was a speeding ticket from his vacation in Las Vegas last month!!!

Thank you so much Laurieane(pop over and see more of her lovely handwork on her blog)-I am so amazed that some one I have never met would send me such a beautiful gift all the way from Brazil .It really made my day!

I am joining Pink Saturday at How Sweet the Sound today.

Thank you to all of you who come to visit me,

Carolyn
