Tea Stands for Tuesday 7/18/23 10th Anniversary



Time to celebrate 10 years of Tea Stands for Tuesday.
Such a big THANK YOU to our hostess, Elizabeth for keeping this going.
You can visit Elizabeth and previous Tuesday posts here.


As part of the celebration, Elizabeth hosted a Swap.  My swap partner was Iris Flavia who is in Germany.  We decided on exchanging a postcard along with out two tea bags.


I was excited to see mail from Germany.


Here is a closer look at the stamp.  It looks like there is a bar code attached to one sside.  I havent seem that before.


Iris created a postcard for the exchange.  I love how colorful it is.  If you are familiar with ther blog you will recognize the lion as her signature animal.

The two tea bags she included are  Tuddel, a blueberry tea and the second one is Sunshine in Cup, an herbal tea with lemon grass.  I have not tried them.  I wanted to be sure to get pictures  before opening them.   I will of course be saving the tea wrappers for mixed media art.


Last of all here is the well decorated back of the envelope.  Notice the lion once again.  Thank you Iris for everything.  I will think of you as I enjoy the tea.


My computer has not been cooperative this morning but after numbers of tries I think I have a post,  I'm going to make that cup of tea now and have it with a nice big cookie.  I'll be heading to the Tea Party to see what people swapped and visit all the gang there.

    What a fun way to show the number 10. More than once, too. I loved how Iris made her own postcard. And he was a Henry, too. Those teas sound wonderful.

    Sounds like you and I are having the same problems with blogger. It took me nearly three hours to get my blog post written for my ICADs yesterday. I was very frustrated, as I'm sure you were, too. I think it's blogger, because I don't have the same lag time when I leave comments at places other than blogger.

    Thanks for sharing your number 10, your swap items you received, and your tea and cookie with us this special 10th anniversary T Tuesday, dear Darla.

    So fun to get mail from Germany and from our sweet, Iris. So appropriate for her to include Henry in her post card too! The teas look fabulous and love how you did the number 10 plus your drink and cookie kind of look like a ten - lol. Lovely anniversary post, Darla. Hugz

    So fun that you got a portrait of Henry! Love the name Sunshine in a Cup. Happy 10th T Day Anniversary

    Sunshine in a cup is something that I'd love to try. Just the name is inviting. I hope it didn't disappoint.
    Lovely postcard with Henry on it. (The lion is the symbol of Braunschweig where Iris lives.)
    Happy belated T-Day,
    Hugs,
    Lisca
