And while I'm telling you what Ive been up to I should probably also confess to spending a little bit of time finding treasures for my collection and to share with you. This is the current star on my dresser and my latest acquisition..... a truly irresistible tea cosy that was begging to move to my house..... the front
the back...
and the real item that sealed the deal - the cloth to hold the teapot handle which lives in a pocket by the back door....
Can't you just picture the person stitching this to make the family laugh!
I'm a textile loving mother of three who gets great pleasure from pottering in my sewing room, hunting out vintage textile bargains and roaming the crafty blogs of the internet. And from time to time I've even been known to pay attention to the others I share the house with!
