Two beautiful swaps....

 When Debbie Mosaic Magpie   announced a heart swap I jumped on it...not realizing that all the participants would be really really great needle workers.
  Look at the beautiful heart Peggy Day of the Lily created and sent to me (to see the one I sent her please visit her blog)...and dearest Debbie sent the smaller heart as a gift...she created and sent one to all of the swap participants even as her precious husband was in the hospital in critical condition.   We are all praying for Debbie's husband, Debbie and family.  Please take a moment to say a prayer for them, won't you.
The hearts are beautiful front and back

Next, a tea cup swap hosted by Sharon Faith, Hope and Cherry Tea  (don't you love her play on words?).
My swap partner was Anne of Annes Phamily .
I was uncertain as to what I would receive in this swap as I said I would be happy with anything so that left it pretty open .... and look, look !   Anne sent me a number of wonderful things...honey stix, Bourbon creme cookies, a cake recipe booklet, a journal and some Herbal Revive tea (how did she knowww I needed that soooo !!!).
But the tea cup, ahhhhh the tea cup. 

A more beautiful or perfect tea cup could not have been sent.
  I t has a verse from Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To Everything there is a purpose...under heaven." and it is so beautiful ! THANK YOU Anne , I love it.

Anne had requested a tea cup with violets on it and I was so happy to be able to send her one.   Sent a few other little goodies along with it too.

These were two of the most enjoyable swaps I have done.  And imagine, Debbie with a husband in critical condition still got the hearts off to everyone! 

Debbie, I will continue my  prayers for you and hope everyone will join with those of us already praying, and hoping and waiting.  (())
