A new tea cosy

A few weeks ago, I purchased a pretty floral tea cosy at a neighbourhood garage sale.

 

 
The tea cosy was in pristine condition and only $2 CAD!

 

The tea cosy was smaller than I had expected, but it fits the single cup teapots.

 

The tea cosy is also perfect for the tea for one pots!

Rehomed mugs

A few weeks ago, one of the ladies at my church thoughtfully gifted me a couple of mugs that she wanted to rehome.

 

I was beyond thrilled to discover that one of the mugs was purple!

 

The inside of the mugs were also decorated.

 

In addition to teas, these huge mugs are also perfect for soup and ice cream. A standard teacup is typically 8 oz. I think these mugs are around 16 oz!

Teawares in the Garden

It's tea time in my front garden!

 

 
My teacup and teapot planters
 
 
 
Old teacups or teapots--that are cracked or no longer functional--also add some whimsy to my garden!
