Description:

Spring has sprung and that makes me think of garden tea parties! So here's a swap to encourage us to become a hostess with the mostest.

This differs from other tea swaps because instead of just teas, you will send and receive a FULL PARTY PACKAGE...enough for 5 guests + you!

You will send to 1 PARTNER:

  • 12 SERVINGS OF TEA - Please see your partner's profile or the comments below to see if s/he prefers loose tea or bags. Also, if they have any allergies.
  • 5 INVITATIONS w/ ENVELOPES
  • HANDMADE DECORATION(s) - Should coordinate with the style or theme established by the invitations and be enough for all guests. NUMBER OF ITEMS WILL VARY DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS. i.e. 1 embroidered tablerunner OR 2 garlands OR 6 napkin rings OR 12 decorated sugar cubes OR 24 food picks, etc. Be creative!
  • 1 RECIPE for your favorite tea party snack
  • Pretty extras for a HEART!

This swap is US & International. Postage should not cost too much if you make lightweight decorations for your new friend abroad. Plus you might receive some exciting foreign teas!

Since this is a pretty comprehensive party-in-a-box, only swappers with 4.7 rating or above and no recent 1s. Newbies are welcome with a complete profile IF you privately message me with something to vouch for you (i.e. ebay feedback, flickr album of swaps or handmade goods, etsy account, etc).

I will ban any swappers who are questionable.

FLICKR MEMBERS: I've created a group for us to share pictures of our swap packages as well as pictures of the party you end up hosting using the goodies from you receive!

Loose teas for me please! Thanks.

MrsRankin 03/25/2008 #

Is this an international swap?

traoki 03/25/2008 #

Good point, wrgmama. I don't imagine it would be too heavy to mail tea and a few extras. And have never had trouble with international customs agencies for mailing a small quantity. So let's do it!

trishcupcakemomma 03/25/2008 #

Hi! This is my first time swapping, hope it will goes well :)

traoki 03/26/2008 #

Tea bags or loose tea is fine for me and can't wait to try to flavors from this swap.

myncali 04/ 3/2008 #

This looks like its going to be fun. I would prefer loose tea but I am not adverse to receiving teabags.

tempest 04/16/2008 #

I prefer loose and ones with lots of botanicals, dried fruit bits, etc., but will be happy with anything really.

overflowingwithawesome 04/21/2008 #

I prefer loose, but it really doesn't matter.

BeOriginal 04/23/2008 #

wow! I have done LOADS already! Done nearly everything And I had such fun! xx

breccamerie 05/21/2008 #

I want to do this one again! It was so much fun!

traoki 06/ 1/2008 #

Oooh...I'm glad everyone had so much fun and will plan Round 2 in a few months if you're interested!

overflowingwithawesome 06/ 1/2008 #

I'd like to do it again. It was fun.

I got my package yesterday... kind of. I have to wait and pick it up at the post office, as I wasn't home when it was delivered. Sometimes living in the city sucks.

Good evening from Spain!

Is this an international swap, I supose, that's more exiting, in Granada there is very interesting kinds of tea: english, green with hierbabuena, pakistani tea... (like chai, black spiced tea made on milk)

My SWAP will be different!

I prefer loose tea, but it really doesn't matter.

Saludos.
