Books & A Cuppa Swap

Wednesday, January 27, 2016



Hello, My Lovelies!  It's show off time for the Book & A Cuppa Swap hosted by Angie and Beth @ Chaotic Goddess Swaps.


My swap partner is the sweet Jolene @ With A Little Help From My Friends.


Check out the first mug she sent me:



Isn't it pretty!  And the scary thing is I set this table the day before receiving my package, and everything on the table matches the mug!  




I love the size and shape of the mug, and the handle is shaped so prettily! 




Matchy-matchy!
This mug is from the Pioneer Woman Flea Market Collection, and the pattern is Country Garden.
This is one of the prettiest kitchenware collections I've seen in a very long time!



She also sent me the cutest mug dressed for an Alabama Crimson Tide football game.  You know how we Southern women totally overdress for SEC football!  ;P






Roll Tide Roll!




Jolene sent me tea for my hot drink.  I'm so happy she did because we only have our breakfast tea and a tiny bit of Earl Grey left after the holidays and the late arrival of winter!  This tea is Strawberry Blush Rose Flavored Oolong Tea from Teavana.
It smells like heaven and tastes even better!  This is such a treat for me because I rarely get to shop at Teavana.
I love the pretty tin, too!




Books!  It's Book Time!!!




Jolene reviewed the first book Little Wild Flower a while back, and I was very intrigued.  The series is one of her favorites, and I can't wait to read it.  The Love Goddess' Cooking School  has been on my Wish List for several months.  Y'all know how I'm a sucker for books with recipes, and this one has a few in the back I can't wait to try!




Love the card....we feed hummingbirds in the summer!


I would like to thank Jolene for her thoughtful gifts and Beth and Angie for hosting!  

Thanks, ladies!
