A Postal Surprise

Last Friday [3/24], I received a surprise envelope in the mail.  It was from a thoughtful, tea-lovin' lady in Georgia who reads my blog and seldom lets a post go by without leaving a comment.

I eagerly opened the envelope and found a package of beautiful tea-themed note cards inside.

~ There are five watercolor note cards per package. ~

Contact information is on the back of the note cards.  Joy [the sweet lady who sent them to me] didn't ask me to blog about how to obtain them, but if you're like me, you're always looking for pretty tea-themed note cards, so I'm providing it.

I contacted the artist, Helen Riley Sturgeon, and she told me they are $10 plus shipping. They come plain [teapot only] or with "tea wisdom" [as shown].  Joy and Helen attend the same church.

Thank you for your thoughtful gift, Joy!

Tea Themed Note Cards

I recently received a beautiful tea-themed note card in the mail, and the sender graciously told me where they could be purchased.

I'm always grateful when I read on blogs or Facebook where tea related items can be purchased, so I'm sharing the note card details with you today.

They're made by Papyrus and come in a beautiful gift box, with 12 note cards, 12 lined envelopes and 12 envelope seals.

The note cards are 5" x 5 ", and can be purchased at Meijers for $18.95.  I bought one box for a gift and one for myself.

And because everyone should enter the weekend with a smile on their face I'm sharing a photo of a "teacup holster" I saw on Facebook yesterday.  I've blogged about my six teacup carriers, but this is the first I've seen a teacup holster.  With a little research I discovered it's a Steampunk teacup holster.  In case you get the urge to acquire one, Etsy has them for $40! ;-)
