Omiyage Gifts from the Tea Party

And now to show you the adorable, handcrafted gifts made by the talented ladies at the tea party last weekend:

First off, two gifts from Bren:  A tiny explosion box holding a little porcelain dish (sugar cup?); and a calendar album holding tea bags in each pocket as well as two spoons of Sympatea:

The adorable kokeshi doll calendar images were printed from http://creativemamma.com/free-printables/.  Check it out!!! L-o-v-e It!!!

Dori made two boxes from the WeRMemories Envelope punch filled with eye candy bling, lemon and lime bars from The Cookie Company and Big Island chocolate dipped cookie bars and a handful of kisses!!

BTW, the very next day I picked up the Envelope Punch at J's KnickKnacks!

Gail made this pink and silver gift bag which she used the Papertrey Favor-it Box 4 Die.  In it she places some tea bags and peppermint candy.  The back of the bag had a poem to join her for tea on New Years Day! It's soo pretty!!

In celebration of the Chinese Year of the Horse, Mel created this beautiful Lantern and tea holder.  She also gave us Zig Wink of Stella Brush.  We had lots of fun playing with it.

I wish I could show you the work involved in creating the Chinese lantern.  It's GORGEOUS!!  I'm still uncertain how she created it.

Finally, we each got this cute little Hawaiian Favor from Byron who did not attend:

We all gushed over it.  So cute, huh!!! Thanks, By!!  Here is what it looks like without the topper:

Thank you to my wonderful tea friends for a fun afternoon!!
