For the past four months, one of my favorite things has been to receive my tea cup package for the Tea Cup Swap. For the last round of the swap, I was thrilled to see a package from Elizabeth, one of the owners of The English Dept ~ a super chic shop in Portland, Oregon. Elizabeth sent me the yellow bird teacup I’ve been eyeing from Anthropologie, a box of English Breakfast Tea, and a lovely lovely card..all packaged in yellows & greens. Thanks Elizabeth! I love it!
For a recap, check out the other cups I’ve received from round 1, round 2, and round 3. Thanks to everyone who has sent me a cup over the past few months..what a great collection I’m starting to build. I’m going to try and convince/threaten Beth of Just My Cup of Tea to start up the swap again soon…otherwise, I’ll revoke her Maid of Honor status.
Cute cup! I’ve been eyeing that one as well. I’ve loved this swap! So much fun!!! I love getting surprises in the mail and it has been so nice to get a monthly surprise. Definitely bug Beth to start it up again.
Hi Joy! I’m new to your blog. I found you on Beth’s site. I love both of your blogs! I’m a newbie and hope to find inspiration from cool ones like yours. Please ask Beth to startup another swap… I don’t know what your rules were, but I’m a big fan of tea and cute cups!
Hi Joy – do you have any idea where she got the card and paper from? They’re gorgeous!
So beautiful! Though I am rather partial to mine… 😉
Beautiful cup! Cup swaps are indeed a great idea.
VERY FUNNY! (not!)
Great job with the tea cup, Elizabeth! This is the same tea cup I sent to my partner for Round 3. It’s so cute I had to get one for myself! =)
ashley, the paper is from a little French company called Atelier LZC. The folks at The English Dept. carry some of their pieces in their shop.

I second the vote for a new tea cup swap. I’ve been a lackadaisical lurcker for a while now, but would love to join in on a new go-round of the cup swap.
I WANT IN ON THE TEACUP SWAP TOO!
***please***, I mean !
I as thinking of having one but then I see there already is a group doing this….please keep me in mind.
Love, S.
