Collection Post: Tea Cosies

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?

  1. this collection is awesome! I have sadly never come across a tea cosy in all my op shop adventures, weird isn't it?

    Good luck with your final two exams, I'm sure you will do well :)
