Home Sweet Home-July Tea Swap

I came home from vacation from a week on the Beach. It was a long (over due) needed time to relax and get in touch with myself.
I stayed at my dear friends beach home in Oakland Beach, RI. You can read about my vacation adventures here.

When I came home, I had a package waiting for me on the front steps. It's always so wonderful having something or someone waiting when you get home. I was totally delighted to get this package.
It was from Lady Catherine of Round Lake Beach, IL.
