Tea cosies

This post was inspired by 'Little Jenny Wren' at http://littlejennywren.blogspot.com showing some of her favourite tea cosies.
Although I love pretty cups & saucers, I prefer plain white teapots covered in colourful cosies. I guess it's nostalgia from my childhood, coupled with the need to keep the tea 'hot' here in the mountains, where the climate is a tad cooler. Some have been purchased at fetes, some op shops, some at markets, one a designer 'teashop' and one handed down in the family.

  3. Oh, your tea cosies are so sweet. I'm a big tea drinker myself and use my china teapots all the time, but I don't use tea cosies like those. They would be fun to collect though.

    BTW.. I've started a weekly blog event that I'm calling "Teacup Tuesday" where each week I am showing off my collection of teacups. If you are interested in joining in and doing a weekly Teacup Tuesday post yourself, send me an Email by Sunday night and I would be more than happy to add a link to your blog in my post for the upcoming week. Would love to have you join me.
