Around-the-world tea party

There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.
~ Henry James

In the Home section of today's Washington Post there is a small note (do 3 paragraphs qualify as an "article"?) about a teacup swap. And not just any teacup swap. A potentially international teacup swap.

Sign up by August 25. Receive a recipient's address (could be in or out of the US). Send off a teacup by September 15. In about a month, receive a teacup from who knows where. I may have to try this!
