TEA CUP Swap..........

I just had to join Beth's 'Tea Cup' swap and look at the beauty I received in the mail the other day!
By swap partner was Kim
and she even made a 'Tea Fairy' ATC for me - beautiful!! Thanks Kim I love everything!
Kim also included some orange tea bags but Australian Customs took that away - thats the second item they have taken away from me, Im sure they just like my pretty things!

Yes, they are pretty strict - anything perishable or plant, seed , nuts they take it away
but they did say I can have it treated at a fee of $42 LOL
expensive teabags!!

What a beautiful tea cup. That's too bad they took your tea. Are the custom agents responsible for informing you that they took something out of your package?

Thanks everyone - its gorgeous!
Jen, yes Australian customs scan every parcel and if there is anything suspicious they'll open up and check and take out, leave you a note and send it to your home.
