TEA COSY


We love our little collection of traditional Brown Betty teapots that we have acquired over the years.  The English pots, used in Britain for centuries, are made with a special red clay that retains heat better than most any other material and are distinguished by their beautiful brown 'Rockingham' glaze.  They not only work perfectly, but are design icons that we love to look at everyday in our kitchen windowsill.  I made an adorable tea cosy for our most-used medium sized pot several weeks ago.  It looks like a little sweater sitting snugly on that fat little pot!  It was a fun project and will be well-used, I'm sure.
