A bespoke cardigan for my teapot

I know this is the wrong season, but I just couldn't wait until fall to share my adorable new tea cosy!

 

I commissioned KnitzbyTamara to create a Folklore cardigan-inspired knitted teapot sweater!

 

The teapot cardigan had a cable in the back...

 

...and the front has a cute pocket for your your teabag!

You put me on and said I was your favorite.

Soda Can Glasses

 June is National Iced Tea Month.

I've been sipping my cold-brewed teas in customized soda can glasses that I ordered from Angela Roloson Designs, a Canadian Etsy seller. 

 

 

This classic Judy Blume book was one of my favourite childhood books.

Angela designed these two Taylor Swift-inspired glasses.

 

I asked Angela to design these glasses based on Taylor's lyrics (L-R):

Look What You Made Brew from Look What You Made Me Do (Reputation)

Sweet Tea in the Summer from Seven (folklore)

Lavender Haze from Lavender Haze (Midnights)

 

"It was one drink after another."

Church Garage Sale Haul #1: Paragon teawares

I went to the first church garage sale last month and found some beautiful Paragon pieces.

 

  

I don't usually purchase sugar and cream, but I couldn't leave this pretty Iris open sugar bowl and creamer behind!

 

 

 

I also couldn't resist these orphan white and gold teacups. I didn't noticed that they were different designs until I got home.

 

 

 

I adore the heart-shaped design of this teacup.

When I got home I noticed that this teacup had a crack. So I'll have to find another use for it...

 

 

I originally thought it was $3 for each piece. But they were actually asking for $3 for each set and accepted my offer of $5 for BOTH sets!
