Tea Cup Whimsey Jar Swap

I so want to do this swap! I am signed up for too many at the moment but I love this idea. Nervous about sending a glass jar though. Do they really arrive safely in the mail????? Looking forward to it!

Is the tea cup/saucer a requirement for the package or just a suggested extra?

is GLASS jar a requirement?

im worried about sending a glass jar with teacup etc inside. I know i can package securely with plastic jar - and it also will keep shipping cost down so i can spend more on swap.

sorry to cause a bother - but of all the whimsy jars ive seen - this is the one that makes my heart jump! Id love to participate

Wow nice swap. I've never sent a whimsey jar, how much is postage on average?

Ok, my friends! Glass is required on this one! It just sparkles, especially if you have glittery items in the jar! I send glass jars exclusively. I just don't like plastic! It's not romantic! I think I lived another life PRE-PLASTIC! The teacup IS a requirement, but the saucer isn't. Though, please, send both if you'd like! Karen, the glass jars really do arrive safely! The items inside tend to act as a buffer. Then using kraft paper, bubble wrap, peanuts,etc, etc. helps tremendously! I even used fabric, vintage or otherwise, that fits the theme. It is not a requirement to put the tea cup inside the jar, but you'll need to include one in your package! I am not specifying the size of the teacup! There are many gorgeous miniatures out there! But don't use those teeny-tiny doll teacups, please. Postage really depends on how you send it and if you're sending to Canada it may be higher! Keep those questions coming! Blessings to you all!

I just sent out a Whimsey Jar for another swap and Parcel Post was $8.09 and Priority was $9.22.

Ok thats not bad postage. can i ask you how big your jar was? Of all the whimseys this one appeals the most- LOVE tea!!

as to living a life preplastic - i think thats a grand time to have lived in. and i must admit- to have a whimsey jar that i would keep and display, i would want glass - you are right about that!

oooh glittery items? i maybe HAVE to do this!

I used a 16 oz jar, but I'm thinking for this I may use a 32oz! I just love displaying these Whimsey jars. I don't even like taking anything out of them! Blessings!

Re my last comment! I goofed! Actually used a 32 oz!

do you have a picture of a whimsey jar love to see hoow its done

Finally found a tea cup I can get in a jar had to buy the tea cup and the Jar...with shipping this is going to be more expensive then I thought but I am looking forward to it.

just finishing up my jar to send and I love it, it will be hard to part with. I hope which ever of you gets it likes it as much as I do.
