Uh Oh... Blogging Etiquette 101, I've failed, but hopefully I'll pass the test now... :)

Being a rather "New" serious blogger, (about 8 weeks now) I am learning the ropes as I go.

I feel as if I've gotten a few skinned knees along the way by not realizing how "Give Aways" go...and how I should appropriately thank my blog buddies that I win them from.

Thanks for having patience with me as I learn everyone... ;)

I'd like to correct this and begin to thank a VERY important blogger couple that graced me with my first Give Away! Jan & Tom from Rose Haven!

Jan is also one of the first blogging friends that reached out to help me in many ways...

She helped me re size photos for my banners without even my asking her...

Thank you to Jan & Tom, from "Rose Haven" for your lovely Give Away

of my "Blue Italian Spode Teacup"!

Here it is...in the box that it arrived in...I was so excited when she arrived!

I was really excited to win this cup, because I already collect this pattern. I have 12 dinner plates, but only 4 teacups., this making my 5th. I'm slowly building this part of my collection.

I named this cup "Rose Haven" in honor of the gifter! ;)

Here are the markings on the underside of the cup
Here is "Rose Haven" in the front with her four sisters that awaited her arrival.
And this is the Tea Castle where she'll reside

and be used with Mother Blue Italian Spode Teapot

and her Aunties Blue Italian Spode Sugar & Creamer...

Jan & Tom, Thanks so kindly for the blessing of this Give Away!

Sweet "Rose Haven" will be payed forward over and over when I use her

at my "Get Acquainted Teas".

Please be sure to stop over and visit Jan & Tom at Rose Haven!

They have a lovely blog!


Merci!
