When my new cookbook came out last month, I sent a copy to my tea friend Bernideen as a thank-you since she had given me one of the vintage items shown in the book, a vintage handkerchief with a candy cane on it. This week, I got a surprise package from Bernideen in the mail, and I couldn't help smiling when my husband brought in this bit of happy mail and said, "You've got a present!"
Indeed I did, and it was this beautiful handmade tea cozy made from a vintage tea towel! Isn't it lovely?
As soon as I opened it, I surveyed my teapots and thought I knew right away which one would model it best. This one! And doesn't it look happy? It's already got me looking ahead to spring and the tea parties I *hope* I'll be able to give using my floral tea wares. Tea friends are the best—and surprises are right up there too!
That is such a cute tea cozy! That was very nice of your friend to make it for you. It really is a perfect match for that teapot.
ReplyDeleteI came over from Bernideen's blog link to say hi, and I will follow you. I adore tea, buy a variety of it, and only use loose leaf.
