Tea Cosies

These tea cosies have to be
removed to pour the tea.
They're going to the Goodwill.
Probably few shoppers will
know what they are

Day 43: Tea Cosies
Four tea cosies, three teapots. I haven't used any of them in years, but they are hard to give away. My mother - bless her Scottish heart - gave them all to me.

Keepers - the left because it's tried and true,
the right because it's never been used.
My mother knitted them for me

I'm a coffee drinker now. We drink tea only to warm up on cold winter evenings. My grandmother is probably rolling in her grave, but in my house, we use mugs and teabags.

Worldwide, tea is still the beverage of choice. Tea is healthier for people, but apparently its production is no better for the environment than coffee.

In six months, I'll probably revisit those underused teapots. The handknit tea cosies can be carried out with me, feet first.
