The Cozy

(The blue hat like item next to me is our new tea cozy! Simple but effective, it just needs a pom-pom to spice it up.)

Celebration and sunshine for a snowy April day. We broke out Big Girls precious tea party set and had munchies for lunch this past Sunday afternoon. The newest edition to our set was a tea cozy from Auntie Mirelle. Thanks to our cozy the tea stayed lovely and hot.

(The tea party table cloth is my favorite piece of this collection. It is hand embroidered with sweet tea cups and flowers.)

Big Girls tea set is a collection of love. It is mixed matched smallish dishes that where patiently collected by her Nanny. We keep these treasures wrapped in pretty tissue paper and packaged in a pink velvet box. Big Girl takes great care to unwrap them for each party and wrap them back up when it is time to put them away.



Not all the cups are actual tea cups and rarely do they find their matching saucer but we all enjoy them this whimsy way.



Near the bottom of the pink velvet box we found custard cups this time and decided they needed to be used. We had no custard but frozen vanilla yogurt made a good stand in and the kids didn’t seem to mind at all.

We followed up the tea party with a dance party to this new cd I had been given. My crew just loves it, Baby Boy included. It is funk and they get so happy and bouncy when I put it on, a great way to shake the hyper right out of them on such a day.

“This was for sure an adventure day Mama.” my Big Boy said as we sipped tea. I had to chuckle. How sweet that my kids, the boys and the girls, can get so much pleasure out of something so easy for me to do… something so simple and un-flashy…


You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.

    There’s nothing better than a real tea cosy!

    And I love that quote by C.S. Lewis at the bottom of your post. :~D

    I worry if the art of the tea cozy will be lost. Hopefully not in England, but the only one I know peronsally with a tea cozy (besides me) is my mom.

    Love your tea party!
