A good number turned up for the event Alyson was organising for EAP [website]
I had recently bought a pack of M&S "Chicken Run" tea towels
I carefully cut round the motifs and used them to decorate some tea cosies, egg cosies and oven gloves.
Last night I made some more tea cosies with pink fabric.
Then I put them in plastic bags ready to sell. I shroud have taken photos first, but never mind
Here they are - all hygienically wrapped!
I did well and sold quite a bit of stuff. Which all helped the cause!
Here is the M&S tea cosy - I was selling mine for half the price. But then mine did have fewer chickens per cosy. Lots of people said "Oh but I just put a teabag in a mug these days - I never use a pot"
I could have sold lots more oven gloves - will have to remember that for the next event.
I have a tea pot and a lovely freind made me a cosy for it. I rather like the whole routine of a pot of tea (we use leaf tea). well done - I am loving the creativity going on at the moment
ReplyDeleteYou never stop! They are so very pretty, just as good as M and S. Maybe you should consider going into production?
ReplyDeleteSince comming to India (and living in a tea growing area) I have come to love leaf tea made in a pot. I wouldn't choose it any other way now. It's not very 'Indian' but it's the way I like it! I'm glad your coffee morning went well, ours did too.
ReplyDeleteI always brew my tea in a pot, and I love your tea cosies! This is my first time to your blog, and I have truly enjoyed my visit. Will come again.
