Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
OMG my cupboard just exploded! Check it out!
Butiki tea art winnings plus extras I ordered, plus shared Verdant and sTEAP shoppe order from BrewTEAlly Sweet :D
Raaaaargh! I got home late at night, in the rain, only to find my own Secret Turkey package on the doorstep. It was returned to sender. And I can’t even blame the dang post office; it’s my own fault that I got the stamps mixed up and put the wrong one on this package. So now I’m out $8 shipping, AND feel like an idiot, AND my poor Secret Turkey won’t get their package on time :(
I got my order from Lupicia featuring a number of their Christmas teas. Some are in the tins for gifts, but some are for me. :)
My absolutely generous swap from Tastybrew! Includes my first taste of Butiki Teas, some Verdant Teas, some Taiwan Tea Craft teas I don’t have, and Steven Smith as well as some of the Chinese teas we have been discovering together. Thank you so much!
oh man.. you hadn’t had butiki teas yet! wish i’d known – could have arranged a swap earlier :)
That’s okay Sil, I have only recently felt comfortable with swapping anyways. For some reason, I had it in my head that you would have to send a boxed package, but really sending it in a large envelope really makes it quite affordable!
yes! you can get quite a bit in a nice bubble envelope :) I hope you lvoe the teas from Tastybrew – she’s got some good stuff haha (we share teas regularly)
I recieved a second sample swap from VariaTEA today and she was very generous with what she gave me! Thank you so much! :D I can’t wait to try all of these!
Also, I can’t believe she managed to mail out 5 biggish sample in a thick envelope for the cheap rate. That’s some kind of postal magic.
Yay! I am glad it arrived to you safely. I think I have finally perfected cramming many samples into a regular mail envelope. Yours almost didn’t fit because the Wild Orange Blossom was so thick but I guess I had some luck on that one.
/glares at Sil
:P
And I’m grateful it did! The Wild Orange Blossom smells so good! Teavana teas are so ridic fat/heavy. I don’t know what to drink first! :D
WOOOHOOOO!!! my mini swap from cteresa arrived! of course now i’m paranoid that mine won’t get to her or she’ll be disappointed…bah! But seriousy..so happy and excited! especially since they’re small enough quantities i can finish them up in short order (and then bemoan the fact that i can’t get more easily!) :)
I got both of my Teavana orders! I restocked on the Strawberry Lemonade during the Friends and Family sale (it was already 30% off and then I got an additional 30% so I bought 8oz oops) and a whole bunch of other stuff. My husband was not amused when he brought the two boxes into the house! Anyway, I also got:
Sweet Asian Pear (restock)
Rooibos Tropica Rooibos Tea
Slimful Chocolate Decadence Oolong Tea
Strawberry Cream White Tea
Fig Rose Herbal Tea
Caramel Almond Amaretti Herbal Tea
WonderBerry Chocolate Truffle Oolong Tea
Berry Almond Amaretto Herbal Tea
Chocolate Bananas Foster Herbal Tea
Opus Rouge Rooibos Tea
Yeah I was bad.
My Argo Teas sampler set from their Facebook promotion. It got here really fast! I’m putting it in the “Black Friday” pile though, so I can avoid adding it to my cupboard.
