Golly gosh, I feel like I haven't posted in ages! I've been studying for my uni exams (only two more to go!). I managed so sneak in some op shops in between study so I will eventually get around to posting those :-) Until then here is a post about my tea cosie collection that I had saved in my drafts and quite forgotten about.
Sadly I can't lay sole claim to this collection. It started off as my sisters collection, but my mum and I probably bought about two thirds of them at op shops and so we claim it as ours as well :-P The craze has died down a bit because of storage space issues, but whenever we see a cool one for a few dollars or less we usually buy it and add it to the pile :-)
The Koala ones are probably my favourite. The one in the photo above is hilarious because of the position where the spout comes out ;-)
This pineapple(?) is fluro orange and I simply love how tacky it is.
The doll one is a tad creepy but I kinda love it for that reason.
I think this ones supposed to be a mushroom?
We have about 50 now but my sister has some at her house. So there's our tea cosy collection. Hope you enjoyed it :-) Which are your favourites?
this collection is awesome! I have sadly never come across a tea cosy in all my op shop adventures, weird isn't it?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your final two exams, I'm sure you will do well :)
wow that's pretty crazy! I hope you come across some one day :-) and thanks!
DeleteWHAT! this collection is beyond amazing, now I have yet another thing to look out for at op shops, thanks for inspiring another obsession, he he he he!
ReplyDeletehahaha this comment makes me so happy! I just love collections, the more the merrier :-P
DeleteWow!!! I love the koala bear and the doll one! In fact I love all of them!!I went through a phase of collecting toilet dollies where the roll goes underneath them. I will look out for some over here if you like x
ReplyDeleteoh I love toilet doilies! they are so nanna-ish! that's a great collection to have! and that's awfully nice of you :-)

DeleteI have an obsession with tea accessories but haven't made/invested in a cozy yet. LOVE your collection! :D
ReplyDeleteoh I would love to be able to make a tea cozy, sadly I can't crochet and I am a terrible knitter :-P and thanks!
Deleteahhh love your collection posts! i think my fave is the grey koala - although that brown koala with the "spout opening" (hehe) is definitely super funny!! the chicken one and pineapple one are also awesome!
ReplyDeletehaha yeah the brown koala is so funny when you have a teapot in it :-P
