In some breaking news, the amazing JacquelineM has won the “Courtesy Death Match” that we had going on for a swap. I received her package today and was blown away. Check out these most adorable tins:

And those labels? Each one is hand colored and decorated with absolute charm:

Yeah, she’s amazing — and the teas she gave me are amazing too. I’m am unworthy! And I’m also apparently dead cuz she won the Death Match. ;)
A&D’s Earl Grey won out as the first tea I selected to try: an Earl Grey sort of fit my mood this afternoon. Oy — this is some yummy tea! It’s subtle and gives me even more warm fuzzies (if the Courtesy Death Match hadn’t already done me in, then the sheer amount of warm fuzziness I’ve had lately would’ve done it. I’d be a warm pile-o-goo).
I think that I like my Rosy Earl Grey more. It’s got a bit more oomph and the Frou-Frou Factor. But this is absolutely lovely. And it has pushed me over the edge to purchase this series as soon as possible. Thank you so much JacquelineM!!!!! TG

Gorgeous!!! :)
Oh and lol! on the “Courtesy Death Match”! At first I thought this was some sort of online game that I was not privy to, but then I thought oh it’s a variation on “killing with kindness” or something—how cute! Is it?
I love the way you photographed them!!!
@ Stephanie: LOL! I could imagine “Courtesy Death Match” on Adultswim.com, but you’ve got the gist. We were being so uber-polite and considerate (me being particularly hyper-sensitive since it was my first swap) that JacquelineM joked about the “Courtesy Death Match.” Sheer brilliance!
@ JacquelineM: thank you so very much! I wanted to try to do them justice! They’re so pretty that they’re proudly displayed on my bookshelves so that I can easily see them. I had them for about 10 seconds in my cupboard before I had to look at them again, so to the bookcases they went! :D
Those are adorable!
Amazingly cute!
aww cute :D love that angel thingy too
