I got my box today from Blodeuyn and I love it! She remembered my favorite color and we have similar taste in teas so there are some samples that are right up my alley.

I got my box today from my secret pumpkin Cheri! Oh my, she spoiled me rotten. She picked out some amazing teas that I ripped into as soon as I saw them. She sent a really fun halloween cookie and a beautiful gaiwan.

Thank you!

The Gaiwan is so pretty!

Yay! I’m glad you got it and that the cookie made it in one piece. I loved that gaiwan. I thought it was so pretty. I really don’t need another one, so gifting it made me feel even better than just getting it for myself. :)

And my husband just admitted that he forgot to drop the card that I missed putting in the package in the mail for me. It’s still sitting in his car and should be mailed on Monday. SORRY!

I received my package from KittyLovesTea aaaages ago, like seriously only a couple of days after the pumpkins were given out. I tried to send her a message saying thank you a while back, but Steepster is crappy and I am crappy too. My package included a bracelet, some cute thanksgiving stickers and a whole bunch of amazing teas, including some from my wishlist, two of which were in my top 10 teas I had to have (The Malt Shop by Della Terra and Pumpkin Chai by DAVIDsTEA). The other teas I received were Prince Vladimir, Cherry Cola & Cake, Graveyard Mist, Candy Corn, The Black Cat, Bonfire Toffee, Cotton Candy, Lemon Sherbet, and African Amber. Reviews will be coming very soon!

Just to reiterate my crappiness, I have missed the deadline, and my package, though ready, will not be sent out until next week. This is due to unforeseen money issues, and I feel awful about it. Believe me, if I could afford to post it I would. I really hope my pumpkin likes it, because it’s going to be a couple of weeks late so I hope it’s worth the wait ):

I’m just happy that you received it and that you are well :) Hope you enjoy your teas.

I am enjoying them immensely, thank you ^^

My package from Anlina came today! I’m excited to try some of these tonight! Everything looks awesome :)

Also, the necklace she included is BEAUTIFUL!

Anlina said

Yay! I’m so glad it finally arrived. :) I hope you enjoy all the teas and I’m glad you like the necklace.

I received my awesome Secret Pumpkin package from darby:
It has tons on tea and the cutest ever little turkey votive holder. She also sent some Christmas and New Year’s Eve tea for me to save and open as those holidays occur. How super duper sweet. Love all my treats. Thank you, thank you, thank you :-)

Is the person I sent tea to also the person that sends it to me? It’s just that it’s Halloween tomorrow and I still haven’t received my swap.

Anlina said

I also haven’t received mine. But I’ve been finding the mail really slow lately and I’m waiting on a whole bunch of stuff :|

Nattie said

It’s been sent! I did mention last week that I wouldn’t be able to send it until around now, but I get paid on the 29th, and I sent it today. I paid for the quickest shipping so fingers crossed it’ll reach you tomorrow, or Saturday at the latest. I hope you like it! (:

That’s fine by me, I wasn’t sure if you were sending to me or not. I remember joining a few secret swaps and I sent to people that were not sending to me. Thanks, will let you know when it arrives.

Nattie said

Yeah, I was going to send you a message as soon as I knew I wouldn’t be able to get it out in time, but I didn’t want to ruin what little surprise element may have remained lol. Thanks!

I got my teas today :) The cookie arrived broken though it’s intact enough to still be cute! Thank you very much!

Nattie said

Yay! Sorry the cookie broke ):

Hah, I spoke too soon! My package from TraceyC arrive today, full of stuff from my wishlist, a book mark with a tea pot on it (perfect as I’m trying to get back into reading regularly!), a cute tiny notebook and some lovely notecards with envelopes.

I’m extremely delighted by all of this, and I can’t wait to dig into these teas. <3 Thank you Tracey!

I haven’t received mine either but I’m sure it takes longer when going over the border.

I find that about two weeks is fairly typical for Canada and the States… Hopefully for tomorrow, right? That’s be a Secret Pumpkin Miracle!

The cup is really pretty (and fits my Tea Owl well) and the Peach Brandy and Orange Blossom Oolong are really yummy!

I wish I sent as much as you sent me!

Is anyone interested in reviving this for this year?

I’m on board.

Yes!

Kaylee said

Sure!

Mailing tea to someone is my kind of game :)

Yay! I’m glad there’s still interest. Does anyone want to be in charge? Darby doesn’t seem to have made a tasting note in awhile so I’m not sure if they’re still around. Otherwise I’ll start a new thread for this year tomorrow.
