Stitches - for - tea

The assignment this week for Gracious Hospitality's blog was "Stitches-for-tea". My dear friend Chrissy gave me this adorable crocheted and beaded tea cup cozy. It sits along side a tea set and tray that I painted many moons ago. The tea cup is sitting on my favorite antique linen that says "Hot Biscuits". To see a closer view, click on the photos.

  2. Oh that's sweet! I have never seen a tea cup cozy or if I had, I probably thought it was a doily. What a good idea! (Hope that Miss Sandy of Quill Cottage thinks so, too. I can almost see a tea cup cozy in her future. ;>)

  3. I love your teacup cozy! It is so pretty and the beads are the perfect weights to keep in right in place. I love the 'Hot Biscuits' bread cloth as well. Thanks so much for participating in the Gracious Hospital-i-Tea blog-a-thon!

  9. Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I believe that Vee is right. It does look like a doily. I'm sure if you crochet, you could make one and just add beads.
    Hugs to all,
    Cathie
