When I saw this hand-knit tea cosy at a thrift store, it reminded me of my dear friend Margery who used to knit tea cosies just like this one. She had given us several of them when we lived beside her in the 70's. It's such a British thing to make a large pot of tea and keep it hot by covering your teapot with a cosy. And many a cup of tea I shared with Margery over the years, sometimes accompanied by her freshly baked scones, almost always accompanied by her reminiscences.
You don't see tea cosies in use much these days. That may be why this one was priced 99 cents. What a small price for such rich memories of a dear friend.
