Tales of a tea cosy (2025 Update)

I wonder if it wants to the USA? I'll host the cosy.

Wouldn't be fun to start something like this here.

I remember reading something about a garden troll that has had many adventures all around the world.

Anyone want to do this here on the US?

I can volunteer a tea cosy designed by Dianne that I stitched as an EGA Group Correspondence Course offering. Or someone could make a cute new one just for this purpose.

The garden gnome - funny store, but I'm tired of the ads for some company with the gnome... C

I'll do it!

Cheryl

Would NON-tea drinkers be allowed in?

Of course....

There's also the series of children's books by Jeff Brown about Flat Stanley, a boy who flattened himself and gets sent all over the world. My grand-niece's class evidently did this, too, because I have a picture of Flat Isabel taken with her dad when he was in LA.

I'd be happy to host the cosy in my new home. Being as it would be summer in Missouri, we will do iced tea!

Hmmm - since Donna & I are so close - we could have a tea cosy party! Somehow this reminds me of the Travelocity commercials with the travelling garden gnome. Anyhow - I'm in. The RCTN travelling cosy could meet with my poor damaged Kitty cosy (someone put it too close to a flame).

That's the general idea!

For consideration at your party, I submit the following observation from that Scots sage, Billy Connelly: "Never trust a man who if left alone with a tea cosy does not try it on." I assume it also applied to women. On no account should one of you leave the room.

ROFLMAO - as both Donna & I are on the puffy side (sorry, sweetie)- the only place those cosies would fit is as lovely headgear. Somehow - the vision of cosy-brassieres - teee hee. But, perhaps that is why Bruce favors the knitted type - I can imagine they'd have more contour flexibility ;^p

Billy Connelly - words to live by!

I couldn't possibly comment But as Billy Connelly said "Don't criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. Then it doesn't matter because he's a mile away and you've got his shoes."
