An Old Fashioned Tea Cosy

Lately in Broohah, the elves and I have been really feeling it.  The modern world with its fast pace, fake news and AI (not to mention all the actual nasties) is a bit discombobulating to us simple folk.

We find ourselves increasingly wanting to spend our off time hours enjoying the slow things in life: watching the green things quietly popping up in the garden, listening to the blue jays making an almighty racket in the woods and admiring the industry of the sparrows hopping about collecting dry grasses for their rather ramshackle nests.

This activity is best enjoyed in a comfy seat by the window with a nice cup of tea, prepared in the time-honoured way in a teapot.  And as we like to engage in this activity for quite some time a good old fashioned tea cosy is a necessity for the maintenance of a piping hot beverage.

Warm the cockles of your pot with a champion tea cosy. How much better will your tea taste when it's brewed beneath the delightful florals of a custom made, Miller Honeyman cosy? We would like to suggest that you will never make a better cup.

Constructed from Miller Honeyman linen, scraps of leftover quilt batting and remnants of cotton binding and twill tape. With inspiration from this lovely free pattern by Days filled with Joy

Recommended care instructions for your old fashioned tea cosy:

Invest in a teapot that pours really well and doesn't dribble then you'll never need to clean it. When it's not warming your tea, pop it on your head to keep your brain warm for a quick walk round the garden on a crisp spring morning.
