Tea on Tuesday is dedicated to all things tea-related!
Today I'd like to share another tea cozy from my Etsy Shop. It has a holiday/winter theme and is gold and silver print on white. I love this fabric and can't find any more of it, so this is definitely a one of a kind!

Today I'd like to share a tea cozy I made. How Christmasy! Hard to believe only a few more weeks until Christmas! This tea cozy is from my Etsy shop. This one features a cream background with red poinsettias, pine cones, and pine fir. Inside features a red lining with gold swirls. The batting between is designed to keep your teapot warm and "cozy". It is a large/standard size which means it fits a teapot that holds about 48 oz or 8 cups.

Today I'd like to share a Christmas theme tea infuser from my Etsy Shop. It features a Christmas tree charm and is accented with a red glass pearl bead. Made with silver-plated materials. Tree is green and silver with hollow back. It measures 2" across the mesh infuser or about 6" when closed. I love making these with different themes!

Today I'd like to share a picture of one of my grandmother's tea cups. I have many tea sets but this one is probably my favorite because it belonged to her. I love the "foot" of the tea cup! It's so delicate and dainty.

Today I'd like to share one of my embroidered tea towels from my Etsy shop. "Tea and a friend make the perfect blend". This would make a wonderful gift for someone special who loves tea too!

♥ Turkey delight ♥
So by now it's no secret how much I love tea cozies! I have this wonderful stash of fabric that I keep adding to that makes me think that collecting fabric and actually using that fabric are two different hobbies! ;) I had this fabric for a few years and added some gold braid. TA-DA! A cute turkey day tea cozy! Isn't it adorable? Did you guess?

Today I'd like to share a bracelet I made with a tea theme. The Seed bead mix is called "orange blossom." How appropriate for a tea party bracelet! Warm colors of orange and cream with gold-plated tubes. I completed it with a teabag charm and a teacup charm. It is designed to fit a range of sizes, from petite to extra large. It is adjustable from 6 1/2 - 8". It can be found in my Etsy shop.

Today I'd like to share a beaded tea infuser I made. I love making these and have quite a few in my Etsy shop. They must make wonderful gifts because I sell out every Christmas. It's a great problem to have! :)

I love making old-fashioned tea cozies and own several dozen myself! They're perfect to coordinate with your special theme tea parties.

♥ Pooh and friends ♥
I found this adorable fabric and thought about making a tea cozy to sell, but then I saw this is licensed material which means I cannot use it for selling purposes. So looks like I get to keep this tea cozy--yay me! :) OK, so maybe I'm still a kid at heart !

♥ Inspiration from the Smoky Mountains ♥
I don't know why, but there is something about a vacation to Gatlinburg TN that inspires me to come home and be crafty! It could be the Craftman's Fair that we go to when we're there. There are almost 200 vendors set up at the convention center and you can easily spend 2 hours or more just looking! yeah, trust me, 2 hours easy! ;)
Fall is our favorite time of year in the Smokies. Of course, we could be just a bit biased since we were married here in October 12 years ago. :)

Gatlinburg goes out of it's way to decorate for Autumn!
Pumpkins and gourds galore!
Soothing!

♥ Back again! ♥
I really don't know where the time goes! All I know is that now it seems like all I get done is working. I enjoyed reading back over the last 10 years of my blog and realized so many things have changed since I last posted here. I once had a job that allowed me stay home safe when we had bad snow storms. That changed about 5 years ago when our department at the university "merged" with another and suddenly "emergency personnel" took on a new meaning--mainly they didn't care how bad a blizzard we were having, I was required to drive to work anyhow. They did not care that I was risking my life (literally!) driving over two mountain ranges because someone forgot their work email password and the university was closed due to inclement weather. It took a while, but about two years ago I changed departments and I am no longer required to come in during closings. NICE!
I still have my Etsy shop, but I'm getting ready to close it at the end of the year. I cannot compete with the mass -produced "crap" they now allow on Etsy. And don't get me started on all the fees! They now charge ME for another fee on the shipping fees, even though I don't make a dime off shipping. Ridiculous! I loved Etsy when it first started and it was all about handmade but it started going down hill a few years ago when I noticed people were selling mass-produced, not handmade (and they didn't even bother to change the photos--they used the stock photos they bought it from!) WOW. Nope, time to go.
I am still creating, but will be selling on my own website. Details coming soon! :)
So what new items have I been adding to my shop? Glad you asked....
