etsy finds: a tea cosy for every taste
Last night Sweet Paul Magazine announced the opening of an Etsy Shop dedicated to selling its set props. Intrigued, I popped by for a look and fell in love with this knitted teapot, $50, from the holiday issue. For me, a great cup of tea is cozy enough even without the pot-sweater, but the look was too endearing to leave be and further investigation turned up quite a market for adorable pot-wear. Knitting fiends and owl-lovers alike might enjoy this knitting pattern for a Morning Owl Tea Cosy, or this made to order version, $35, by shazzasknits. For a more traditional cosy, look no further than this cable number, $12.99 by Etsy seller Melsey, or inject some comic relief into afternoon tea by putting a sock monkey to work. Check Etsy for a wide array of options (and there are many)  for dressing your favorite teapot. –Sarah C.
