I’ve been contemplating running a swap for a while now, and since I’ve wrapped up the Owl Swap with the fabulous AnnieB which was organised by Apryl from Meridian Ariel it’s about time to get something else started.
So! I am proposing a swap entitled “Time for tea”. Participants should be prepared to send their swap anywhere in the world although I suspect most if not all will be UK-based going by my readership. Please Email me in the first instance to express an interest, ensuring that you link me to somewhere I can view your crafty endeavours (blog, flickr, etsy, folksy – that kind of thing). It will be a direct swap (ie you will be matched with someone else and you will swap with each other) which will be completed in time to post by Friday March 27th 2009 and should include as a minimum:
A time for tea-related handmade item
Tea (loose tea, tea bags – or if you’re not a tea fan, hot chocolate?)
Something your swapping partner can use in a crafty fashion
I’ll be back by the end of the week with more information and links for inspiration if this proves to be popular.

sounds good but I’m mainly a coffee drinker and not much of a tea drinker… will have to think about it though as well behind on things already.
I’d like to join in – if I may… love my tea.
i’d love to join this swap! the older i get the more tea obsessed i seem to become!
So, would a lace doily, a teapot cozy, or a take-out cup cozy apply for the “time for tea-related handmade item”?
Also, do you mean a crafting supply of some type when you say “Something your swapping partner can use in a crafty fashion”?
I’d like to participate, but want to be sure I am understanding the requirements, and I am willing to ship overseas.
i’m a tea lover .. count me in x
I’m definitely up for this! I joined a tea swap not long back and really enjoyed it
I’d really like to be involved!…although I’m quite terrified – swap virgin.
are there usually min-max value/costs for these types of things?
Yeah. Count me in! I’ve never done a swap before but hey, I’ll have a go.

that actually sounds really good. Never done a swap before and I don’t have a crafty website, but can I join in too?
Oh – TEA! Fantastic idea. I’m entirely obsessed by it and would love to take part. Can you tell I’m excited. And the closing date is my birthday – so gotta be a good sign…
Count me in.
I’ve emailed you :p
I’d love to join in! This sounds like a fun swap!
Hopefully you got my message, I would like to be included.
i want to do this too
